Mapilman, actually I have spent a lot of time and travelled around much of India, 6 trips in all of around a month each time. The comment on cows was meant as humour - some few times on dual carriageways in India everything has come to a halt because of cows grazing on the road and no-one willing to shoo them off. Then there is the odd elephant too of course.

It's probably the cows that need the dms on Indian roads from my experience there.

That early release allowed Badenoch to respond with a very well written and delivered speech as they had lots of time to get it sorted rather than having to do it off the cuff , she actually did well for a change.

I thought the so called pm spent most of his time gaining air miles Jakers, perhaps he does the hair-do in the plane's loo.

Cannot do much with shorters in full control of the price, thought I had done ok to buy at one lot 427 and another at 414p. Just have to forget it for now and let the shorters buy and sell to each other and await whatever happens eventually.

CBG are a good example of what can go wrong - while back huge divi and shareprice 1500 plus pence. Sort of share an isa would be in like also AV, LGEN etc.

Look now. In your retirement you don't want to risk that sort of loss even if on paper, as you don't know what the money might be needed - death and so on. And anyway in the case of CBG, money sat with them in bonds is doing great as they have really good 1 2 etc year rates.

A lot of money into isa is from older people (who also have the cash to use) isn't it? My 80 year old wife is not interested in shares and people around her age she chats too are of similar opinion. Shares are for trading or for holding for divi and perhaps growth in share price. She is not really going to mess about like that. She likes her cash.

I do play both in sipp and isa, but I enjoy doing it and try to watch what I am doing.

Lewis is all about lots of noise etc. to get headlines to feed clicks and views into his media - i.e. clickbait. imo of course.

I flogged my TRIG this morning and made a few quid, so will get their divi. Then presumably still a div on HICL shortly so put the trig cash into here. Cross fingers the drop today is well overdone. Trig have also dropped back from initial spike.

On Radio 4 just now the various jounos were pretty clear that this change was all about massive pressure from the mostly unhappy labour mps regarding busting the manifesto.

Agree with you Finley, but only have 60% in cash where it is going to stay for now. Have you seen the yankee futures, looks like a torrid afternoon coming up.

Have had these for around 2 years so not long term. But feel somewhat grateful to long-term holders who have financed SEE over the years up to this point where hopefully we all will get some decent rewards in a while.

That takes me back Sparhawk, frosted inside windows and told off many a time for scraping patterns on the glass with my fingernails. Oh those were the days.......

Curious Aspers, have you got them all back again.?

With blackrock and morgan shorting with their vast resources they can do what they want (i.e. shove the shareprice around) at will. So the 37x are quite possible to buy back in again.

The bank clerk cometh.

Red soon? Hope so, got a chunk at 377p a couple of days ago and flogged them today at 401. Thank you. So please do rinse and repeat shorters.l

Looks like the shorters took a hit so far today Auson. Wonder how they will work this down again.

Your buy better than mine, was enjoying a poo and it was back to 426.48p for my 3k shares when I got back. Santander are certainly grumpy about the fca. Some way to go for resolution to this

"Too many signals saying market pull back."

Cannot argue about that, holding 60% of a sipp in cash currently cos I also think the whole thing is going to go wrong soon on the markets. Bank clerk for a chancellor, bacon sandwich eater out of control and so on. Have plenty of HBR and BP which i like to own and will keep but other stuff if it shows any reasonable amount of profit am turning into cash as well.
