It is strange on LSE, right?
Advfn has surprisingly been ok over the last 2 days.
If there's one thing that these BBs show, it's that no one really knows.
Matlot called several stocks spot on in the past, metro and RR not so much for months.
And where did that wacko Spartan LCR go? Disappeared like the Wizard of Oz.
Your buy in the 70s is looking good here.

I have no doubt some places are much worse than others. Like I said, the virus is real.
The disease is real sadly. No one can argue that.
But locking down entire countries and populations? With all the devastating consequences in mental health, domestic abuse, divorces spiking up, alcohol problems, etc.
I believe that is extreme and that as such, the cure is worse than the disease.
Australia case study of a 118-day recent total lockdown:
https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-economics/city-locked-down-for-three-months-has-bleak-lesson-for-the-world
“ Australia’s government estimates 1,200 jobs have been lost on average a day across Victoria state, while demand for mental health services has surged by more than 30%.”
“ demand for health services nationwide has risen 15% since early March, and by 31% between September and October in Victoria. Alcohol consumption has risen and domestic violence spiked.”
I would much rather live in a free society by taking simple measures than put power in the governments hands and have them lock down entire countries. Especially on chronically incorrect data like Loris and UK have done over and over again.
But everyone is entitled to their own thoughts about the matter.

Everything I am referring to is public knowledge.
The virus is very real. That is no question.
Is it as deadly now that we have 8 months of data on it? No.
Should we stop living our daily lives for something that has a 2.5% fatality rate? Absolutely not IMO.
We must learn to live with it.

'We've closed all of Cornwall down for three people in hospital': Healthcare assistant who publicly resigned claiming she had 'no work to do for three weeks' at peak of the pandemic says claim the NHS is overrun is 'all lies'

Balanced? Are you serious?
Jesus. Do your research. Unbelievable.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Coronavirus Cases:
50,653,557
Deaths: 1,260,573
That’s under 2.5% fatality (at most). Governments have been known to over-report fatalities.
NHS nurses becoming whistleblowers lately and seeing their hospitals are empty.
You can double/triple the cases as governments have been shambolic in their testing.
Oh, then, add all the depression, domestic abuse, mental health destruction and economic disasters due to lockdown.
Indeed, Bank of England stating decision regarding MREL by end 2020. Go look it up on their website.
FCA: I anticipate it being Q1 2021 at the latest. Will have been 2 years investigation by then, which is the average time they take for financials.
Agree.
Metro stock and sentiment has turned a corner this past week.
Many retail shorts were gunning for their 20p upon new lockdown measures -- we ended up higher than their best estimate.
Oh well. And BIG volume over the last few sessions.
Add to that the fact the Brits don't give a carp about the fabricated/enhanced/fake covid numbers used by Loris Scamson and his cronies to impose the new ridiculous lockdown.
More people out and about in London over the last few days than before lockdown.
Higher footfall. Great for metro.
Good luck to all genuine holders.
So we now have certainty with Biden.
Biden is pro-EU, which is a blow for Boris as sources say Boris would have been emboldened by a Trump win to seek no-deal Brexit.
A massive CEO share buy.
New chairman.
Chairman who bought a few too.
FCA decision due soon.
MREL and BoE update due soon.
Big volume over the last few days.
And very limited free float.
We Should start moving extremely fast once the first domino falls.

Yep, and Brexit IMO worst idea ever. ;)
Metro - biggest potential positive impact until end of year is the BoE potential updates for small and challenger banks, MREL, etc.
New lockdown might force BOE to act more in favor of smaller banks and help.
At this stage, lots of uncertainty.
And at the same time, metro due a lot of news and potential positives.
Your thoughts?
