Is that you AC? Did you escape bobbins bunker?

Jason, same here, but as I've held while underwater, may as well hold until real profit can be taken, just my view.

Makes you think this was a set up from the get go. Back in 2013 when Lindsey Graham and McCain went over to Ukraine and said that they will get funding to defeat Russia at all costs, while standing in a bunker with the then president.
This was all about a waiting game, maybe it was even triggered? No, The US would never use such tactics, what am I saying...

Jtan, ok, fair enough. Still remains a pr1 ck to me though.
Morning bobbins, Lloyds having an episode again...

morning Jtan, to be fair to the pr1 ck, he did not filter DB2014, so probably saw those stats?

I see the GBP has gained a little against USD and Euro today.
That may help a little.

Sorry, M16A2, the A3 was a bit later...

Lloyds, that's the world we live in today. I was field stripping an M16A3 when you were born!!
I taught my oldest to kill and gut a chicken last year, to the horror of the wife, but it needed to be done, before becoming a teen. That was more messy than I was expecting as it got away half way through... oops.
Good times.

Every single house here has a fireplace or a Swedish fire place. No matter what age new or old they all have them.
And the obligatory woodpile outside in a nice little stack.

bobbins, hello mate, 'gas'?? Really? I'm sure Jtan is more up to date and has an fan assisted oven, unless he's super posh and has an AGA, in which case he may burn wood...

Lloyds, you were reading my mind

From a month ago
IAG is 16% up
Wizz is 13.5% down
EZJ is 11% up

So, while it looks like we are down compared to the others...

People will fly and those that cannot because of rising energy costs perhaps should not be flying in the first place?
If you live life so close to the bone, financially, flying is not a right. Still, cheaper to fly than keep expensive mobile data plans month in month out, yet they still do it.

Sund, I know what you are saying and it probably will work that way, but I assume not every scheduled flight has been cancelled and people transferred to create a full plane, it would take time to slowly transition to that model, without penalties. I personally hope it does, too many cheap flights, sounds great but to what end?

Sund, I get what you are saying, but this could take a couple of years to filter through, maybe.
I also agree about the ghost flights, this is imposed by the Eu too, they claim to want a 'greener planet' yet penalise airlines that do not use all their slots, FFS.

"It is a monopoly and should be banned."

They won't ban it, the US makes money on every barrel sold, just because it is traded in USD. The greenback stays strong on that alone.

Spot on EC.
Out of 1 barrel of oil (159+/-Liters) refined, 72L is petrol, 39/40L is diesel, about 10% of the barrel of oil is kerosene (aviation fuel).
The rest is petro-chemicals.
The refined petrol stay constant, there is an overlap between diesel and kerosene, if they need to refine more kerosene due to demand then they refine less diesel. Demand dictates how much gets refined. As jet travel has increased so demand has, therefore they probably increased refining of kerosene thus reducing diesel and we see diesel price at the pump increase.
This is a problem due to the Arabs cutting production, trying to push up price of oil. And Europe gets most of it's diesel from Russia, so in Europe, we have a problem.
When and if oil prices come down it would benefit both airlines and logistics (and of course diesel car drivers) but only if they increase output.

Sund, just ignore the guy!
He believes everyone on here is a day trader, when willing to bet, most are just ordinary LT investors. Jumping in and out of a share is not a LTH strategy.
Shares go up and they go down, these are down, they will go up. As they did after 2008 and before that. Everytime!
What we have against UK shares is the UK government. Until now I would never have believed a government would go out of it's way to break it's own country's economy, yet here we are.

If you want to ramp, go ahead, you are not breaking any 'rules'.
Everytime I see a post from him, all I see is Cartman and "respect may authoritah"
Such a big player spends so much time advising us all...

Yeah, the chap that bought it seemed to want it more for the postcode, bragging rights of some sort?? Have at it I say.

Lloyds, yes it can be false advertising. Our's was on Sutherland Ave, by Warwick Ave, not that it makes that much difference as I personally hate London and would never want to live there.
And yes, doubled our buying price in 13 years. And best bit, never paid a penny in capital gains or the income in that time.
