No they are a market maker to market maker trade (whoever entered them made an error they are both for the same number of shares). Nothing to get excited about at all.

A spokesperson said: "The economic case for investment in this project is not strong enough at this time, as well as having the potential for delays."

AZN do not seem to have declared their final dividend yet or have I missed this? Going by past years the declaration is normally made public in the first week of November for payment the following March. AZN published its Q3 results on the 12th Nov, but no dividend figure was quoted, just a reiteration of a "progressive" dividennd policy going forwards.

I just hope my holidays are more exciting than yours as you seem to spend a lot of time trolling people on this board (and others) from your Caribbean beach resort. Have you nothing more interesting to do?

"27,000 people die every year from Flu/Pneumonia in the UK. Except in 2020, because all of them were put down as Covid deaths." Absolute horse sh**t and you well know it. Excess death calculations already take into account the number of people who would have died anyway of normal levels of influenza. the fact is that lock-down actually suppressed those numbers, as flu is less infectious than Covid19. Enjoy your trip to Miami and the Caribbean and I hope you do not become another sad statistic to add to the fact that you are obviously a very sad human being. Metom, as for Boris fixing this s*** you have to be joking surely!

Diveonin: I take it you are of the "bury my head in the sand and hope this all goes away "persuasion. Hopefully just that and not a conspiracy theorist or (worse still) and anti-vax idiot. Tough times ahead I am afraid. As a research scientist with a good grasp of immunology/virology the emergence of vaccine resistant and more virulent sub-strains of Covid19 comes as no surprise at all. It was merely a case of when not if.

M & B results offer little cheer. Profits up post lockdown, but so are costs, particularly energy, food, distribution and payroll where wages are rising (in part due to the new increase in the minimum wage) and staff shortages continue to weigh heavily. M & B stated "Brexit remains an important event for the market and has created risks for the sector, principally around the supply and cost of products and workforce shortages." JDW are subject to exactly these same headwinds.

The good ship "Vulganus" if i remember correctly. It's many ficticious voyages kept us amused on iii for many a year before it mysteriously sank without trace in the Bermuda Triangle :-)

MKS unlikely to be promoted to FTSE 100 in December reshuffle. Electrocomponents and Dechra pharmaceuticals in pole position at the moment.

I see that CCL are in the middle of a share buyback in which said shares will be held by Carnival, but not cancelled. In my experience such schemes rarely if ever lead to an actual rise in the SP. Mmmmmm.

Looking at your recent posts there seems to be a pattern " I bought XXX last week, month, last 3 months (delete as appropriate) and the price seems to have done nothing but fall" Is the end of the world nigh? No this is just normal investing so get used to it or find something less stressful to do with your time.

Our glorious government seems to have concluded that the UK is somehow a special case with respect to Covid19 and that we will escape the fate of our European neighbours. For our sake I hope they are correct, but with per-capita infections now the second highest in the developed world being out infected only by the USA, I do wonder how long our luck may hold. I get my Covid19 booster this afternoon, but will I be going down the local to celebrate? Methinks not.

Ian Cowie (Sunday Times) has sold out of Carnival taking a 58% loss for his “ Forever Fund” having held the stock since 2016. Concluding that recovery is not likely any time soon he cited CCL as being one of “Cowie’s Clangers”. He recently exited Vodafone for similar reasons saying in both cases that despite the painful losses, there were far more productive investment opportunities elsewhere.

Ooooooh...The banter!

The charts tell it all. The UKOG SP has been in steady decline since the near 9p peak in Sept 2017, now over four years ago and has now fallen so low that it is no longer even dignified by the monicker of a "penny share". Trading opportunities are virtually zero, apart from a couple of sucker's rallies in the past year. No person in their right mind could possible consider this as even an outside bet as a long term investment so it beggars belief that posters still think it is. They are either locked in with huge losses and cannot bring themselves to walk away or have completely lost touch with the real world. Even oil majors like RDSB and BP (both of which I hold) will struggle over the coming years given the climate change lobby, let alone a no-mark tiddler like UKOG. Crazy!

Been in since way before the Pfizer bid average £33. This is just noise as the vaccine was always going to be at cost and have no significant effect on the bottom line. Chill out, this will march on upward in due course.

“So for 4 months the more senior demographic are going to want to get out, as have been house bound for 2 years, but not in the cold/wet, as such they will flock to wetherspoons in their masses for warm and community.” I admire your optimism, but the truth is that the worse the weather gets the more people stay at home!

Today's trading update is bad news. Older customers not returning, food sales down and continued labour shortages. Only bright spot is ****tail sales up due to younger demographic returning to pubs. Xmas trade will be vital for a recovery following the record loss last year.
