Yep - but for all his amusing rhetoric and teddy bear charm, Boris has taken power as Hitler took power, on the basis of nationalist policies, with a vote given by a few hundred MPs and a piddling number of hard line party members, banned discussion of alternative views, and is now pursuing a Stalinist purge. In an election, anti-European vote will be all his (Barage says) and remain vote will be split unless they all do a deal. He will win a landslide. His mate carrot head will usurp the Queen as true head of state in the UK, and Scotland will finally come to it's senses and raise the gang planks and sail away leaving us right in it. No sort of future for my kids in all that !

Yep so don't discount FRES on that count - sliced already - but will top up and slice again if it shows more legs intra day. Diverse - had some great fun on AD4, BIDS and IDE but sold out of all 3 today. I run a 3UKL on 1 third of my SIPP with contrarian buys and sells at every 1.5% step so as it goes up and down I gradually systematically beat the FT100. I play with the rest. Work pension just feeds into Blackrock gold and general on a monthly basis - because if the world comes to an end - and it may soon - when everything else loses it's value - gold shines. My experience is it's much easier to read stocks like OCOD, VOD, EXPN, etc than the UKOGs of this world (though I did revisit UKOG at 1.15 and 1.05p this week and may get a winning top slice there tomorrow... Keep getting SPDM wrong … What can I say - experience tells me to keep a diversified portfolio and hedge then hedge then hedge. As long as I'm winning somewhere I don't mind a temporary hit somewhere else. Also - the trend is your friend, avoid falling knives, buy the dips, and slice every gain (do it yourself boosts). You can always buy more and slice that tomorrow, but you can't profit once the price has gone back down - and you never know. A bit late getting out of UJO today - good example.

Yep I felt a move on OCDO on Wednesday and that worked out well, VOD as well, was a bit late on FRES - fooled by the yahoo speil about gold was due a pull back, but dived back into my goldie trinity , HGM, CEY and POLY at a discount (pure luck) when I saw my IXNG selling off - alongside the falling FT100 non Friday. That was the moment I changed my view on markets in general. That was a big holding selling out of gilts. I suspect something bigger than all we've seen so far US open time tomorrow - there are many possibilities.

Evening sir. What's your view on the rest of the week. I think the market loves a hard Brext (low pound - cheap labor costs) so more of the same...

I agree - looking forward to it

Evening Mr Tibbles. apologies all round from me. I did sell my 3 main goldies first thing - but when I saw gilts and FT100 falling this afternoon, thought better of it and rebought lower. Complete fluke - I believed the noise coming from Trumpville. Long live gold and goldies eh... Fear is the key.

What about Trump's claims of a booming Dow and IXIC ? I think the yankees - as always - want to smash the price of gold, and keep oil just flat. I'm out of CEY today - it's been a good ride but gold looks sick until the election (US) to me - JMHO.

So Boris now has unrestrained control of the country and the Queen - interesting... No wonder she signed off his coup d'etat.

Let's compare shall we. He's not British in any way shape or form but puts on the act of being an English country gent - Hitler wasn't German. He has claimed one never to be repeated vote mandates him to claim total control and be above accounting for his actions - so did Hitler. He wants all "non-Brits" (in our lovely pluralist society I have no idea what that means anyway) to be outed - so did Hitler. Be careful what you wish for.... Meanwhile Trumps bubble blowing means I'm probably selling off my gold in the 'morrow - and we'll see how long I need to stay out - but his plan is obvious (aside from installing his look alike lapdog in this country and buying anything we have that's still worthwhile at a knock-down price). He's going to grow a huge market bubble in the US until he is re-elected - and hammer all non-equity investments - and as we are all too powerless to argue with him - I figure it's best to hang on his coat tales. Does everyone else see a gold implosion short term ?

Been in since 9.25 and given Trumps bubbletastic talk happy to add and slice my way along here. I think the Trump bubble he's just starting will go pop - or rather kerboom but I think it's clear he is aiming to sustain it until after his re-election (God help us all, but then we no longer live in a parliamentary democracy so God help us all anyway !)

Just showed up on my radar yesterday. Add in the Trump bubble blowing comments and I think you're on a winner here and I will be buying in.GLA

Hitler was a populist politician who said right you've voted for me once so now you've made the correct choice you'll never need to vote again. He also shared common views on anyone not of his country or race (mind you Boris is genetically practically everything else but British and born in the US - but then Hitler was an Austrian. I guess the only hope is that Boris is so Europhobic he won't actually want to force us to invade it (no doubt without the consent of parliament). Be careful what you wish for...

That's what I thought when I bowed out at 31p...

Yep - just looked at this one... with a couple of blond gobbie idiots in charge of the world and UK economies I have given up playing market moves anymore and am looking at share picking again. I do expect to be back in SLP by sometime tomorrow.

I aim to amuse

Can I have a go ? 1.115p

We will all be the poorer without Was.

**** that's sad to hear. One of the very best.

Hi Troj, all. Yes probably - but probably not today - US & UK futures up 1%. Even the £ has recovered overnight losses. Oil up as well, and gold down. I don't know what is now firing up the risk takers with confidence but while they drive the market, I will switch to the risk side - this surely won't last but it's in it's second day now.

Yes I nice turnaround from when my cough woke me at 2am. Maybe another day of bounciness
