morning grigsi, hey you are welcome fella. don’t worry yourself about the odd pleb on here - a little trick is to notice how few 'recommends' they receive- it gives you an indication of how they are viewed by others on the board ;) and don’t go filling them up or trying to reason with them - you may discover that despite them trying to ‘ talk the talk’ ; that they are actually thinko's who like to try and sound as if they have some knowledge or expertises. --- ask yourself the question 'if they are as good as they say,,, then why are then on here, a free to join website’ . they’ll try and impress with gob ****e and before you know it ; you’ll be listening to ******ed old senile tw1ts who – had you met in a pub; you’d move a million miles from. you’re a sound chap, and all the best to you,

Poor Nettles, you have my sympathy mate, it must be so uncomfortable trying to sit down when you’ve got someone hanging on your every word and trying so hard to wedge their tongue up your bum lol

Anyhow, I’ve been looking at the distribution of RR in VEVE (example all world ETF), it presently stands at 0.8 based on Jan 31 figures. With the fall in NY and the rise in RR from 5.85 to near £8 - this might result in it having a larger representative share in future ETF’s –thus more buys per ETF - fingers crossed

Question - Am I correct in thinking - that the more the SNP500 etc drops the better it will be for RRs (and other global stocks) - due to most all-world ETF's being weighted on market cap. ?

griegsi, being as i am one of the longest runner members on this site; and having witnessed much, i'd like to praise you for your cognitive thinking and inquisitive mind. some people grow old, ******ed and senile. having a sharp mind and questioning attitude is key to being a successful investor – you’ll do well. ;o)

Grigsi, you were valid to ask the question - given the time you asked it and what little facts had been established. It could have been a super tanker for all we knew and it could have been sabotage .

I remember hearing that a small plane had flown into the side of a building in New York - some years ago,, and when the facts and news caught up - it was so much more and changed the world forever.

:)

Thanks Grigsi, for mentioning and questioning about the ship fires here,,, while it is not responsible for RR's share drop - the potential ecological disaster in my part of the world could have been massive, and can often take years to recover from. thank you for mentioning it on here. Much appreciated :)

PaniV2 - it wont,,, but some of us live around here and are a bit worried hearing the news - an chatting about it. (we remmeber oil slicks of the past) :)

58 million litres of aviation - hopefully that wont be as dangerous to wildlife - i.e. not like thick heavy crude.

:)

Just reading in telegraph for more details.

It could be worse - tesla -6% doday ,, on top of -40% mid dec ,,, LOL

The phrase 'two birds with one stone' springs to mind ;o)

Tim, I may have been too hasty , and upon reflection – I think you should open a huge short position,,,, personally, and don’t go telling anyone I told you this, I can see this stock plummeting quicker than some scrubbers knickers on a night out in Leeds. I’m thinking a good short position for you might by 1.76 . Please confirm when you’ve done so.

Tim, I occasionally like to give to charity, and fearing that you might being going through life having 'an affect' on people - I want to share some wise words with you - that my parents taught me from a young age.

1. Engage your brain, before your mouth

2. You learn with your ears and not your mouth

@Sorbz , my advice is not to waste your keyboard springs with him lol.

For gods sack ; a quick google and check of the times at which AZ posts (US times) -

The correct spelling of the word is "defence" in British English and "defense" in American English. Both spellings have the same meaning.

Explanation

"Defence" is used in most British Commonwealth countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Defense" is used in American English.

Both words are pronounced the same way.

Both words have the same meaning, which is to safeguard something from enemies or attackers.

For example, in sports, "defense" or "defence" refers to the action of preventing an opponent from scoring.

As sorbz correclty points out - who gives a rats rrs , execpt those who like to 'nosh themself off in front of the mirror) (fantastic phrase I use myself) lol

@notzero,

Glad you enjoyed, and yes she is very intelligent and knowledgeable (I feared at first that it would be just some random rant - but no , the complete opposite). My first engineering subject was electrical/electronics and I thought she put things across in a very assessable manner for the lay person to comprehend. I worry for what she says; 4 more years of this Net Zero crap is not going to be good for us.

An interesting interview regarding the present state of the national grid - and how close we have come to blackouts,,,,for anyone who is finding the day slow :)
