And looks like Tuesday will be offering the same thing on the menu, as the US cannot take the hit of Nvidia all by itself, we must share that implosion of a seriously over inflated stock.

Chinese have truly slapped the chip makers over the pond in the face, hard.

You make an assumption that we in the west are leading the world in everything, yet fail to realise that the development of good health benefits all, globally, yet your view is that we should hoard this and let the world die, even though all we gain is from 'them'.

A good can be shared, a bad, no one wants, but you seem to believe that if they want our 'good' then they must be enslaved to us and take all the crap we give them?

They have been surviving for long before we came along, and at what point do you think 'them' dying of disease will somehow bypass us? We do it to protect ourselves too, it's not a one way street, just look at covid.

So drop the coloniser imperialist view point, it helps no one. It's very naive to think that way.

You want to believe the West invented everything, yet that is simply not true, please do research, not just what someone told you to believe.

We drink recycled sewage. Those countries, and I've been to quite a few, have fresh water running all the way through their rocks, drinkable. Sure, overpopulated cities in India etc have open sewers, closed sewers are new concept in the UK within the last 100-110 years ago, otherwise it was thrown out in the streets at 6am...

I for one would be happy to share health tech with the poor nations, let them get on their feet, without holding a boot on their necks for that privilege.

More than that I just cannot be bothered, life is short and people like you are barely as significant as a dead mosquitoes wing.

" your starting to sound like a typical imperialist. "

Says the imperialist. Clearly arguing with you will definitely not make me smarter. I'll let you ponder that one.

Ah yes, Investor, you are the problem. Most chemicals come from their countries, last time I checked, diamonds were not mined in Wales, Oil mostly comes from third world countries, as does gas.

World's minerals are not mined in Europe or even the US. just stop.

No one wants our help if it comes via a bomb or bullets and enslavement.

Every country funds WHO, not the US or just the West, also, so many countries develop their own, so, stop conflating your BS with reality.

'Modernity and democracy', PLEASE! . Those 'developing countries' were far more developed than the West, before the west even crawled out of caves. Put down the Kool Aid jug, get help.

The Chinese government may well pay shipping, but where does this money come from?

It comes from the profits of those same companies, as pretty sure the government either has shares or part own those companies. Either way, they profit from those companies are going to the government, makes no difference.

We in the West subsidize our companies, tax breaks, etc. Let's try to not be so obtuse about this shall we?

They are just better at spreading the wealth, our side take bribes to allow a very few to get very very rich.

I am pleased the Chinese are giving the US a run for their money. I welcome a trade war like that, prefer that over a war where people are bombed into oblivion while MIC makes profit from death. But that's just me.

"Their advantage yet again is that we pay them so so much to produce practically everything we consume. "

Incorrect. You think they make so much profit from everything they make for 'us'?

Their labour is cheaper, that is all. You want to pay for an iPhone that is made in the US of A, while Apple maintains the same level of profit in each unit? Give it a go.

If they made so much money from us, every single manufacturer over in China would be a $trillion valuation, yet none are, but Apple/Nvidia/Tesla (almost) are...

Don't buy the propaganda.

We will take back Sting as long as he takes Piers and keeps him there.

624 if we are really lucky and I mean really really lucky.

Remember the fly in the ointment is the US, always.

Also Trump talking shyte again. Threatening every country that will not bow down to these idiots.

Great! But it does not translate in the share price.

As today's start clearly shows

BTW, 30% was just an arbitrary number, could use 50% as well as 10%

A third runway will not increase air traffic by 30%, or more planes by 30%. That's just not how that works.

Air Traffic Control has to be upgraded, the number of planes over that sky in a concentrated area have to be managed, more planes leaving other destinations must want to increase flow to LHR, etc etc.

Let's not get our hopes up for a ramp up in RR sp, same goes for any news on SMR's as they are also decades away.

Not sure Neil is being 'woke' or just PC. But being 'woke' is ok, it means being awake, awake about things that is wrong and understanding things that were done in past as being wrong, therefore not to continue on in that fashion. Slavery was wrong, still is wrong today, understanding that as a unacceptable form of control over another human is deemed as 'woke'.

There are many things that I disagree with from the past that our ancestors did, I guess that makes me 'woke'.

Using the word woke as a pejorative is childish and means that you do not actually know the meaning, so you use it as some sort of insult. Unless you really believe that we should have slavery, stop women and blacks from voting, take away basic human rights for everybody and see only white men as the superior being on this planet?

@Neil_, spot on.

I only invested to secure a better life for my ageing mother so that I could use the 'extra money' for that purpose, while not spending my capital that was earmarked for our kids.

Unfortunately as of last month I would learn that was no longer a goal that was required. Such is life, however, now my goal is to ensure and secure a better life for my kids.

ACIM, not sure the relevance of you posting how many US soldiers died during WW2, but you forgpt the 350k+ UK soldiers, the millions of others that died from numerous countries around the world. China had the greatest loss of life followed closely by Russia.

The US has killed over 25 million people around the world since the end of WW2, I think that should tell you more than enough about THEM as a culture/plague.

NATO was designed to help the US stop wars leaving the shores of Europe and other countries on their way to the US. It was never about Europe of other paying members.

Time to tell the Yanks to eat it, defend your borders, AT your own borders.

Well done Guess God, but:

"Errrr, actually, stand before me, that kneel thing sounded a bit multi G.ay didn't it."

oh, yeah really really park bathrooms kinda stuff. TMI!

You guys might want to look out of the window, airline stocks just took a nose dive..

i was buying this when it was over 230, then it tanked more, got out at 180ish, lost like 30k.

what a ****show this company has been, mm is a conman, get out and never look back people.

i really feel bad for those that have lost so much more than me.

i made all my losses up and some with iag. not giving financial advice.
