Lloyds, you want to see volatility? Check out THG, then come back to me! IAG looks positively asleep in comparison. But your are right, keep calm and hang on to the shares, if like me LTH, these will rise, never reach the £5.00 mark for at least a decade but £2-3 in the next 18months is reasonable.

Agreed, however, we have basically stood still for over two months, similar sp on 17th Nov.
Still, a rise, however incremental is good by me, I would rather have a slow steady rise then jumps, that only invites shorters.

bobbins, thanks for that.
I think we may have stumbled on another symptoms of covid, 'closed off mental breakdown'. I need to report that to Sue Gray.

Now, I'm not a medical doctor, but I'll poke it with a stick.

FFS blue, you are absolutely no help, where's bobbins, he will clear this up.

So, am I a deramper or a ramper? With shares or without shares? I'm confused, maybe bobbins and big-blue can let me know...
Also, was I supposed to be Scottish at some point? I cannot see who is posting as I filtered them, but I see others have responded to the 'concerned member'

.

I think the FED will go easy as the markets have almost 'self-corrected' The rate hikes will only add to volatility and benefit no one. As you posted yesterday, how many will take their cash and dump in banks for a measly 0.25% return or leave where it is and earn 5-20% return?

Business class is so good why pay for 1st class? Business class may become the new 1st class. I may be wrong but did they not reduce the number is 1st class seats anyway?

soleman, I come here for the entertainment value, I figured I paid a lot for the ticket, I want a meal and a show.
You must be one of the cult members, do you need help? Send a signal, I will send help.
All you idiot harp on about the 'tech' the 'ingenuity' and so on, but when mummy starts having a pop at the newspapers you still blame everyone else?
Yeah, that is a sign of a genius all right.

Abandon ship. All those that are still following this cult leader, carry on. The mothership will be along soon...

US airlines are up so that sentiment could carry on into Euro stocks this morning.... one hopes!

That'll be the head punch I was on about earlier.

Lloyds, being in the 'middle' with European stocks, we get kicked in the nuts from Asian markets then punched the head from the US markets, as on it goes, day in day out

Hi bobbins, I hate to say it, but I think we may get dragged down when the US opens, as the positive close in the US surprised everyone. But I hope I'm wrong on that.

Also, I'm sorry if I included your leader in my less than helpful view of world leaders, I'm sure he is a upstanding kind of chap...

b-b, the problem with closing of borders is that it is a 'knee-jerk' reaction from governments, none of it makes sense as the science actually states it as being useless.
I cannot wait to see NZ open up, they will have a mushroom cloud effect of infections. They think that by closing borders they have escaped it, all they have done is prolong it. This is why there is uncertainty about flying, booking holidays etc. You leave your country one day get to your destination and they they change the rules and they do that at a drop of a hat.
Can you blame people for not trusting what their governments say when in the last two years have proved that they flip flop?

With all the vaccines and controls, this sp should be near the 180 mark by now and yet here we are, that is consumer sentiment.

Cheers.

Cheers, I'll look into it, any suggestions?

Not for me, £0 per trade, but a very unfavourable forex +1.25% commission.

monkeys, I appreciate what you are saying, that's why I said in my experience, my platform is a bit of a rip off so that deters me anyway. Not to say i did not buy, but bought to make the fees worthwhile.

Might as well be birds...
