Larry Fink, Blackrock has been quoted as saying he sees stable markets, ie. long for the next 12/18 months.

US company earnings are strong, and apparently there are too many $ invested in AI for it to be a major dot.com bubble collapse.

Also, there is the enviable Divi buying the end of the year and early next year. Regardless of the budget which I personally don’t think will be catastrophic, Labour, unpopular that they are are at least stable.

Why sell now, good luck.

The statement says to me, that the holder isn’t confident in the short term, and playing a longer game.

Each to their own, good luck.

Good Numbers from HSBC today. Asia is of course where the action is, this is my favourite U.K. listed stock at present and has been for a while.

Good Luck for the update.

Hello, thanks for the confirmation chaps. Be Lucky

I’ve also read something across the boards a note from I think Morgan Stanley, quoting a tight supply for gas and seeing the spot rate increasing in ‘26.

Be Lucky.

New high for Prudential. I think I’ve read here there’s an update on the 30th Oct is that correct ?

Dearboy, it is, as always a joke. I don’t take life too seriously we have lost the art of laughter.

I was only saying to my AI chatbox robot Humphrey this morning, how times have changed ! He said too true as he drained the oil out of my lower back and changed the filter,

Be Lucky.

Alas, ‘a doctor to monitor their health’. Too true ! According to GB news Rachel is looking to streamline the health service, by getting patients to self diagnose, and treat themselves. Local garages and MOT stations, will be offered more money if they install a operating table above the MOT pit to roll 2 businesses into one,according to a source.

Wes Streeting is a fan apparently and states that this new ‘fast track service’ will cut waiting lists, always a vote winner !

Good Luck.

FCA won’t do anything. WG are just another casualty the list is endless. NMC were another shower a few years ago, that fleeced share holders.

I was having a chat the last few days with my accountant, and stating companies like EY auditors have been accused of mismanagement and signing off accounts, these auditors are the issue, as well as in this case probably a loss making business.

The way forward is to make accountancy processes simpler, that’s not going to happen though because accountants run businesses, rather than businessmen.

I love business, but find myself getting less and less interested as the years pass. Hopefully, shareholders get something here, of course good luck.

‘St James place’ warned. That company has certainly recovered having been the wrong side of the market a few years ago.

What this investing business keeps telling the savvy investor is of course keep an interest in what’s going on.

Back in the day my parents had the insurance salesman coming to the house, selling products, which alas proved to be virtually worthless, add to that the scandal of the 80/90s etc with pensions, forced people into taking note.

You could probably be sat around the dinner table with some very successful people and have a totally different investing strategy. The market has been very good lately, but complacency will bite you.

Each to their own, and it’s as ever a learning process which with the benefit of being old is worth its weight in gold expensive that it is.

Good luck to all.

Hello, I’ve bought and posted on the boards that I’ve mentioned . oil and gas has had a tick up recently.

You have to do your homework, of course be Lucky, thanks.

Buy bombed out companies that issue poor guidance short term trading updates. Examples have been, ds smith,RTO,pru,bytes,jd sport,b and m,WH Smith, wizz air. A couple of weeks ago I posted here I saw upside in U.K. oil and gas, serica, ith, also Tate and Lyle.

Buy large batches in tranches and offload them as the algos are playing havoc with the market and I don’t see any value in being long on anything at present. I’ve been maintaining this same strategy since Labour came to power and have done very well. I don’t like tech, can’t stand it, and don’t follow the s and p at present.

Be Lucky.

Alas, the share topped 2.44 ish the other day now it’s touching 2.37, it’s not sideways it’s down. If your playing with a big stake in between news which I’m doing that’s a big move.

Each to their own, most people are Long, I don’t play that game, my tactics are totally different and I see the FTSE at present as a trading venue to be exploited.

I was surprised you have sold Prudential, I personally see more upside there once the inevitable trade talks on rare earths and tariffs are concluded.

Of course be Lucky, I’m just offering my opinion of how I see things, yours may be different.

Yes, nothing wrong with the update, bottom draw share buy on the dips and sell before the dividend. That seems to be the tried and tested method, unless of course Lgen become a takeover target, and that could become interesting.

Good Luck.

‘Trump is trying to get rid of quarterly reporting’. Yes, Buffett isn’t a fan either. It focuses businesses on the short term, unfortunately mirroring the ‘instant gratification ‘ that is so prominent today.

Also, fairly obvious the traders still have hold of the share here, wiping out yesterday’s gains, even with the deep dive news

the market isn’t interested.

Be Lucky.

Yes, absolutely. As is also probably known the FED likely to cut rates by a 0.25% . But, the better bit of good news for markets will be the FED chair replacement. Blackrocks Rick Reider will be very good for markets if he gets the nod !

Good luck.

As mentioned last week, large US banks are reporting this week, should be good for shares like Lgen.

The bet is do you top up at these levels, or see opportunities after the U.K. budget. I’m for waiting.

Good luck.

Anon,

I’m not the one coming in from the pub Friday night at midnight, posting derogatory statements . You really should stick to the low alcohol options and of course drink responsibly. Get the wife or the boyfriend to pick you up, if your slightly worse for wear ! 👍avoiding those pot holes that are still Funnily enough in the road !

Be Lucky.

‘Goons will have less liquidity to play with ‘.

Myself and the Vicar, who doesn’t know what your talking about as well, are of the understanding that the LSE works on a SETS based system matching a buyer to a seller.

More tea Vicar ? Or would you require something a little stronger, clear the head !

I remember you Anon, the great Labour socialist Lovvie. I quote “Under Labour the potholes will be no more.”

You remember Anon, all those grand standing speeches, the improvements are coming !

Did you also get some free glasses from Lord Ali, or did you get the free dress and perhaps a handbag ?

I’m curious,

Finley.
