DrMaze. Re: Peter Bellow, CEO of Malaysia Airlines, he used to be the COO of Easy Jet. If it’s the same person, that’s very interesting.

At open, it popped to 621 and dropped back.

Crystal_Balls, many economists appear to make predictions simply in opposition to whatever Trump says, often without a clear grasp of the underlying issues. Ask yourself: with more oil and gas being produced in the USA and Venezuela, and OPEC losing control over production, why would prices increase? Greater supply from the Americas helps to negate the geopolitical risk premium.

.......Is a lot to cover in a buyer's market.

Pre Iran war, they were also in the FTSE 100

I hope someone looks into this (via FOIA?), as the UK defence budget for 2024–25 was reported to be £60.2B, and we have nothing. Greece, on the other hand, has a budget of €7.1B (nearly a 10th of what we have) and seems to have a lot more. Optics matter, and the UK looks like a shower of shizzer.

Panicans panicking again about another long, drawn-out, forever war, and once again, all the clever people (economists, politicians, media mouthpieces, et al) called it wrong..... again. Will there be a few bumps in the road, probably, but what an outstanding military the Americans have.

Well done to all those who hoovered up BA, Wizz Air and EasyJet yesterday.

Re: Congress have been giving money to try and over throw Communism for the best part of 2-3 decades !!

Congress is corrupt and has not been trying to overthrow communism; they have been trying to implement it in the USA. One of the key factors in Trump winning the presidency was the people who escaped communism from Latin America voting for him to close the border and prevent them from living the life they had escaped. Young Latinos also voted for him in massive numbers, knowing the hardships their families had endured.

The laughing hyena thought they were in the tank for her, but hey ho.

Pokerchips, if / when Trump goes to China, purchasing cheap oil & gas from Venezuela and Iran will be off the table and controlled by Americans going forward. The USD will be back as the global currency, and I have a feeling Cuba will have succumbed to the pressure of having no fuel or future and struck a deal with DJT, based on how they are working with Venezuela, which they can see working better than any of the 'clever' people expected.

Pokerchips, I cannot see DJT bombing Kharg Island, as the sale of oil and gas will fund the reconstruction (and bring China back into the fold). I would not put it past the lunatics in charge of blowing it up when they know they have no future, as they despise everyday Iranians who want freedom from the Mullahs.

Love this. The Telegraph reports that China has told Iran not to attack Qatar again as they receive 30% of its vital liquified natural gas from there. Further, they’ve told them to reopen the Straits of Hormuz to keep down oil prices. Iran has no friends - outside Starmer!

Savage, the EU just sabotaged a pipeline supplying energy to Hungary, hoping to drive up prices and affect the upcoming election. Italy is swimming against the tide, and no one has de-industrialised more than Germany. If the governments are leaning so far right, why are they all implementing policies that the globalist left-leaning organisation want?

The last conservative government is a perfect example. A massive mandate to impose conservative ideas, then they turned more liberal than the liberals and crazier than the Greens, so much so, they will never be voted in again.

Meanwhile, the Socialist / Globalist / Marxist governments within the EU, who were recently celebrating how they have abandoned their heavy industry and energy policies, so much so the are now worried about a 22-mile-wide stretch of oceanson the other side of the world.

Good job, someone knows what they are doing by unlocking the world's biggest producer of oil, now controlled by the Americans, which has an unlimited flow of liquid gold that can feed the world, that is, unless those same EU lunatics have not collapsed their refining capacity.

I know it will infuriate most on here, but the biggest loser in all this is China, which deep down is what this is all about.

Democratic Party lawmakers....... oh please. They hate America nearly as much as some people on here.

Obama dropped 26,172 bombs in 2016 in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia, and there was nothing from Democratic Party lawmakers. Biden bombed lots as well and guess what...... crickets again.

'Elbows up' Iran

I can see people in major cities all over Europe, changing their 'From the river to the sea ' banners, to 'Death to America'

Feb 27 (Reuters) - British Airways owner IAG (ICAG.L), opens new tab reported a better-than-expected annual profit on Friday, as it benefited from lower fuel costs and resilience on its core transatlantic routes, particularly for its premium services.

European airlines have been riding strong premium demand across the North Atlantic, a key profit engine, even as U.S.-sold economy fares softened, mirroring an industry-wide trend, in which affluent travellers continue to spend.

Pokerchips, I am in England, but I go to America often. What you see and hear while you are there is unrecognisable from what the BBC and Sky tell you.

Do you remember when Boris went to Ukraine to stop the peace talks, and pipelines mysteriously blew up? The UK and EU want the war to continue and are doing everything they can to escalate it. They buy American hardware because: 1) their equipment is the best, and 2) they have to keep the USA on board. Trump's peace through strength mantra means you don't need to fight, and if you do, you win. Obama, Bush, and Clinton are no longer driving the bus, so needless wars did not happen, and I am sure they will not happen this term.

It's telling how people never said anything and now forget 9% inflation and 8% mortgage rates, with horrendous green policies spiking energy costs under Biden, which caused massive price hikes, yet blame DJT for the high prices now, after only 12 months in office. With energy prices falling quicker than Hunter's hookers' knickers, factories breaking ground everywhere, and the big beautiful bill kicking in, this will be addressed.

What did Biden do to shift the economy towards a more export-driven one... and please don't say Hunter's pictures.

You have to laugh at people with stage 5 TDS. Russia and the US are already at a stand-off, due to the UK and EU lunatics pushing for a conflict via Ukraine. After all the nonsense spouted re DJT, I note the world is not in depression, apart from Socialists, Marxists and globalists who don't like their club being gatecrashed. Investment in the US has never been better. Reduced budget deficit due to record-setting tariff collections, the Dow is at an all-time highs; Q3 GDP growth was 4.3% with interest rates expected to come down, turbo-charging future growth numbers, and, more importantly, every economic expert now has egg on their faces and should be fired for stoking fear and peddling misinformation.
