The US are always at it, shyte runs down hill don't forget. Have we all forgotten the toxic debt then off-loaded into the European markets in 2008? Look up who helped the US fed sort that out. Actually, they called him in.

Maybe Geng is a shorter?

Oh well, back to where it was, nearly.

I hate shorters, but they will not ban them so they are like a parasite.

This drop? Sell off, profit taking or IAG selling some of it's buybacks into the market?

I too hope we hit the one year high and then higher.

Hi bobbins, I am happy about the price rise, bet you are too.

I hope things are going well with your new lady friend and she is not put off by your biscuit choices?

Right now, there is not a lot to be cheery about (politics, agenda of some sort, crisis of some sort, power grabbing by some unelected body of narcissists) but at least the sp is on the right trajectory.

Anyway, as it's Swiss National day today, very quite here, so out in the garden dodging the rain... Keep well.

"About 2 days after I sell for 190."

As long as that bobbins?

Cheated,

You are preaching to the choir. Add morally bankrupt to all the parties. But, this is not just a UK phenomena.

Unfortunately!

I want them to stop buy backs and pay down the debt. That could be the single most important thing they could do this year, then invest in the investor by paying a divi next year. This is the only thing that would bolster confidence, when a company has lower debts, but just enough to offset profit taxes.

Hello tricky, was wondering where you got to.

Yes, I saw the UN's Guterres fear mongering speech, nothing like financially capitalising of Al Gores grift.

Anyway, glad you are ok and enjoying your fishing.

We are unseasonally lower on our temp in Switzerland right now and looking at the next ten days, seems about the same.

So in 5 days you will have no more free time! Retirement does that to people, they seem to be more busy than ever, perhaps a good thing considering we will all be dead in about 5 minutes anyway, according to the experts.

Also, I do not see Ukraine/Russia thing ending soon, I think things will progress as we enter into Autumn. Have heard nothing about ending the conflict, even the allies have said nothing to encourage a peaceful resolution.

Oh well, at least the sp clawed back some losses on Friday.

Keep well and enjoy your lake fishing.

SS17, whilst the figures you posted about RR and IAG in that time frame is correct, it is also inaccurate.

As both those lows were not the starting point of their sp's. It was at their lowest in 5 years.

If you bought both shares at their lowest point, you have done extremely well, if you, lie many bought in before the lowest price, then the rise is very much different or maybe not even hit some breakeven point.

So, while you may be enthusiastic and upbeat, many on here joined this sp long before that and so do not share your euphoria and look for a higher number to exit.

Having said that, as someone who has a very large holding of this sp, do not see it hitting 350 within the next 2-3 years. There are too many obstacles to climb, including the eco climate terro rists agenda.

Mararab, I get it, it's all relative. Good luck to you too.

Mararab, I'm the same as you, but the slow grind up the hill is really tedious. The longer you wait for that exit point, it diminishes any gains you make. If you make £100k in one year is great, but if you make that same amount over 3-4 years, starts to look like a waste of time in relative terms.

Mararab, I suppose you are right. Up is still up, just depends from what point you calculate 'up' starts from?

So, we are exactly where we were one month ago, great! I'm giddy with excitement.

Sundezena, calm yourself, this is hardly a meteoritic rise is it? If this is what you think is worth celebrating, well...

Feb this year, it was 172+, we have been free of the covid shackles for over a year and still nothing. When it hits 180, then I may celebrate, I suppose my level of point of euphoria is different to others.

On the plus side?? We are only 10% from our year high...

SS17, expectations and reality. Two very different things. Unfortunately!

Yes, my wife thinks I'm too married, I think it is just about right. You can never be too married.

How about you? Are you too married to?

Larry Fink never said following ESG was a bad thing, ESG is HIS idea. He would 'force' companies (his words) to comply with ESG and DEI.

Any company not following this guidance will pay a financial price. Again HIS words.

I cannot find the YT video where he said this, sitting to a finance guy from Bloomberg I think.

But he said it. I have a habit of remembering things like these. Just like I detest Trump, not for his policies but for who he is. Back in 2008 he said on a call that all the poor people should lose their homes, as they 'did not deserve to own property', since then I despise the guy. This was the advent of the US housing market collapse.

You will have to dig up the archives if you have the time, but I know what I heard and saw. Fink is above the law. Only this week there was a video from Valuetainment about him and his life. Watch it if you can.
