Member Info for hardup

Just been on Money Supermarket to see what deals are available. This is what it said when I input my current supplier and plan:
"Due to the continued rise in wholesale energy costs, the price of the standard variable tariffs and the default tariffs are increasing from 1 October 2022. This is due to Ofgem’s price cap rising. And as a result, we have seen many suppliers withdraw their best and cheapest tariffs which means we can’t switch your energy tariff right now. Find out more
Want to know when tariffs are available? Give us your email and we’ll let you know when we do."

It does however offer 2 variable rate deals both with Scottish Power and both come in at estimated cost £488 per month/or £5,859 per year!

After 127 trading days, buyback complete to date:
Total shares to date.................................................3,576,951,020
Total Cost to date... ................................................ £1,594,914,063.06
Average price paid to date.......................................44.589p
Percentage of £2 billion buyback completed.........79.75%

My electricity supplier is OVO. I've had a good scour around their website today and it looks like there are no fixed charge plans on offer, just variable pricing.

Not sure how bad it will be for me as I've already said we have no mains gas where I live and the heating is oil fired central heating so where is the price of kerosene going from here? Currently double what it was in December, I don't think it will go up much from what it is now.....I hope!

In February I was being charged 20.9p per kWh and standing charge 30.61p a day. I am currently being charged 27.99p per kWh and standing charge 53.45p a day. What will October charges look like when new price cap comes in!

DOW now down -340 pts and falling. :-((

Looks very likely we going to end the day in the red!

"Make your own. Offsets the shortages"
Go low carb and don't eat any. Won't be any shortages then.

Another frustrating day painfully watching the good rise early only slowly fritter away! As the saying goes "easy come, easy go"! lol

"Just saw someone is selling large loaf of bread for £16...unbelivable!!"
Yeah right!

"Positive start to early morning trading despite European energy crisis continuing to intensify."
I'm keeping my feet firmly on the ground. How many times have we seen Lloyds get of to a flyer early on and then slowly surrender the gains through the day. Hopefully Wall Street will have a bounce today after two consecutive down trading days, which should give support this afternoon.

FTSE Futures on IG currently showing up +25 pts. See what happens in the 30 minutes run up to markets open at 8 o'clock, could easy go pear shaped in the run up to open. Fingers crossed!

"Does anyone on here have money they'd like to invest? I am looking for investment to build 100 log cabins on the West shore of the reservoir, along with a leisure-and-entertainment complex on a floating island on the reservoir. The project is in the UK. Hopefully the construction could start next spring if I could raise the investment before February 2023."
So you are the Nigerian Prince! PMSL

"I don't like Bank Holidays -
Feels like my investments aren't working"
I say just as well it is a Bank Holiday today after Fridays rout on Wall Street. Was hoping there would be a bounce today on Wall Street today after Fridays falls, but DOW Futures for open today down again around -200 pts. If there is another big fall on Wall Street today then not looking good for UK Markets and Banks tomorrow.

RKH share holders.

Now back to COVID low level of 1.1649 on 20th March 2020.

Bank holiday for UK Markets on Monday so hopefully DOW will have a bounce on Monday settling Markets over here for Tuesday open. If DOW tanks again on Monday then it's tin hats time and head for the bunkers on Tuesday! lol

So why does the DOW tank -1008 pts when every man and his dog knew before Powell's speech that it would be necessary for the FED to continue raising interest rates this year and probably into next year as well? The Markets know it is coming anyway?
