I don’t think GSk VOD GLEN are good examples to quote. Ongoing litigation, and too much debt.

IMB and BATS have been a very good example of a successful buyback programme, made better by actually committing a large amount of cash to the process. It does work the process, but it’s of course stock selective.

Good Luck.

Well RTO have been clearing the decks in anticipation, it appeared the patient investor is going to be rewarded

Good luck

I would say that regardless of the tariff situation, the market needs to see JD deliver, that is what the share price is saying to me. Sold down since the last trading update, but as they say in Football all to play for in the 2nd half.

GoodLuck.

Rayner should go back to the zero hours contract at Tesco. Inflation spiking last week hasn’t helped. Cost of Energy and the nonsense of the green agenda is only going to add to inflation woes. Cheap money and mortgages and the B of E really need to get interest rates down, hampered by the above.

But Labour are a high tax, over regulated society. Are investors actually surprised with Rayner, utterly clueless, actually embarrassing.

‘Anything you see or read in the media is almost certainly priced into the market’. I can’t agree with that statement.

An interview with David Tepper on CNBC what 5/6 months ago buy everything Chinese. Prudential rallied 30% .

More tea Vicar !

Nonsense, I don’t think I mentioned I couldn’t think for myself, I watch it for the interviews with the big players, alas that point is not understood.

Back in the day on the trading floor it was always on in the background. I’ll leave it there as this conversation is quite frankly irrelevant.

Good Luck.

Nonsense, so the prices running along the bottom of the screen have no interest to you, they won’t be telling you if there is interest in a particular stock. It’s just as your name Nonsense, of no interest.

I would rather listen to Karl Icahn, Nelson Pheltz, and a raft of other billionaires and where they are positioning themselves than listening to yourself on this blog. Nothing personal but I value their insight slightly more.

Good Luck.

I don’t know your history, but anyone serious about investing trading has CNBC on in the background. Serious money people.

That’s my experience, it’s not your 2 bob channel. Good Luck.

Watching CNBC now, the treasury secretary states dealing with a large amount of countries,27 or 28 means it’s harder to get anything done, they don’t want to move and are putting obstacles in the way, that’s what the Brussels Bureaucrats do.

Sarah Eissen stating it on CNBC, don’t shoot the messenger.

Good Luck.

I’m only quoting CNBC to the point that the consumer will have more money to spend. Personally I can understand Investors frustrations with the ever changing stock market, I do quite well out of the volatility because I always buy in tranches, I think the all in, sit and hope strategy is alas history.

The 50% threat is just as we all know another negotiation tactic, to be taken advantage of by the patient investor, because that was what share buying used to be about, buying for the long term and seeing a return, that’s where the real money is made.

Good Luck to all regardless of your strategy.

Very hard to deal with the European Union and the what 28 member states. They are a bureaucratic club after all, I’m not a fan.

Never a dull moment investing, 50% tariffs ouch.

Good Luck

Reaction to the US tax cuts. To be fair Trump is going for it giving consumers more money to spend.

Good Luck

Fyfe Robertson, a quick goggle lead me to a statement made by the chap in 1975 ‘is life getting worse’ what the fella would of made of today’s events, would I dare say lead him to chain smoking that pipe of his, and consuming a rather large amount of Scotland’s finest Whiskey.

Old buildings as you mention are indeed a money pit, made worse if they are listed and the never ending permissions sort to

take on a task. Don’t get me started on Ecology surveys.

Good Luck.

Hello, yes the pre fab market definitely has a purpose. I’ve supplied product to a site25 years ago where they trialled the container concept with a rendered front elevation.

The Spanish don’t have the endless nonsense that is the U.K. building control so they can adopt this means of construction.

Good luck.

On the question of higher interest rates from the B of E, that has a reverse effect on the interest-on bonds. There are a raft of analysts and I dare say economists on this blog who will bore you to death with an explanation.

Good Luck.

Hard to see what’s supporting the share price. The inflation number yesterday, is going to mean higher interest rates for longer. A no growth economy and the threat of higher taxation in the next budget.

Not wanting to be negative, but that appears to be the outlook. As always gooluck

I think the industry has missed a trick in that 1 person/2 person rented accommodation, container type business model is needed. That accommodation has say a 80 year life. If you look at what Musk is doing in modular it’s that type of business plan, made off site to a high spec and cheap.

Cut the mortgage companies insurers out of the game and corner the market. Steel frame galvanised skins of buildings will have a 70/80 life span.

On the high end of Modular look at the Candy Brothers and O’Rouke, in Knightsbridge the most expensive apartments in London. Ray O ROURKE years ago was pushing heavily into modular off site construction.

I don’t think the idea is over, technology and evolution will assist its revival .

Good luck.

Simoes, “Very quietly doing a good job”. To be fair, he should of taken on the modular homes business and driven it forward, underwritten the mortgages and created a new market.

There is a skills shortage with bricklayers, and builders which means they become expensive,so the industry will either be timber frame or modular going forward.

On the investment front of course Lgen is seen as a defensive play, not helped today by the spike in inflation, Rachel is said to be ‘disappointed’, maybe that refers to her tenure !

There is also an argument that the tech trade is over, the fast money has been made. All that now exists is ‘the bet’ on AI which requires substantial investment for the electricity needs to power the revolution. Yes, there might be some money to be made in developing economies, India etc, but Global trackers were heavily invested in tech, and as is seen that trade has come off.

I prefer individual stock picking at present, as always good luck to investors navigating markets with your investment decisions.

I would wait until the US opens before buying . The short term push down will probably continue.

Spike in inflation in the U.K. hasn’t helped.

Good Luck

Good Numbers from Greggs this morning, the consumer is spending and they reported good sales growth. Just another indicator that at least the consumer is hanging in there.

Good luck.

Alas, Prudential have not paid the dividend yet. According to my bank HSBC, prudential have issued the wrong dividend amounts to HSBC.

In the world of never ending compliance, someone somewhere has made a monumental error. Doris who runs the switch board at HSBC has been on the gin all day apparently, her nerves shot to bits with I rate punters having a moan.

Mention of compensation to out of pocket investors alas falls on death ears !
