Iran's Araghachi: Strait of Hormuz open to all commercial ships - according to Bloomberg

Jds15,

time for you to disappear from this forum.

Nothing to contribute !

Don't bother to reply - filtered!

Please ignore my last post - there appears to be an issue with my trading platform.

Only hold a small position here.

MET1 appears not to be trading today - clearly I missed something.

Could anyone enlighten me, please?

Any feedback appreciated

"bait"

Never mind Motley Fool - as the name suggests they are clueless.

I totally disregard any of their articles - positive or negative - pure click gate,.

Retirement_plan,

"Additionally, for the UK , whilst we were in the UK, we had a whole load of EU nationals coming here " Legally" that caused a huge strain on the economy too.

What strain exactly might that be?

Polish plumbers, bricklayers, IT specialists, or simply people that actually want to work?

Being German, I arrived in Britain in the early 80's, with a view to experience another culture, one I knew from my English lesson text books - certainly never considered myself an immigrant (the standard of living in Germany then, and still today, is far superior than that " enjoyed" in the UK). I have always considerd myelf as a guest in someone else's country and continue to do so. However, when I look at the mess of the economic/ political landscape, I would consider leaving, if it were not for my wife, who was born in Jamaica, but is staunchly British. We have both contributed to the success of this country, without ever having to rely on state handouts - and enjoy a comfortable life style thanks to the work put in.

Retirment,

I am surprised Cev is still giving lessons.........after all we now how to spell EEE.

Sill everyone is entitled to an opinion.

A look the above RR Short positions chart should make interesting reading for Happy.

Locomo, it is a concern.

I am contemplating both options.

The only pain I feel is the return ofJane! Have you been discharged early from your psychiatric treatment? I am concened about your wellbeing and think you should self-readmit! The sooner the better. No anger here. 😂

Prior to the imminent news conference - my take is that Trump is being played lie a fiddle.

What a big mouthed looser!

As we all know....Trump is an egotistical moron.

Nothing usefull will emerge from this meeting.

I feel sorry for the Ukrainians, and deeply resent them being thrown under the bus.

As far as defence is concerned, Europe has already woken up to the new reality and wil justifyable have to put more into defence. Good for rr.

Assume this will aim at non- ISA saving/investment accounts.

Trello,

I use Barclays, couple of days and the money is accessible.

Rishab,

In my opinion buybacks are generally not effective.

Dividends by contrast are tangible.

Look at BP, just as one example.

I would be much happier to have some of this money invested into research/product development future proving the company.

Just my thoughts.
