If you have nothing better to do go and spend some money with M&S, no matter your life history. JJ

Very few believe there will be a permanent cease fire this year as shown by the share price here, 'so wish this weren't the case, live in hope. JJ

Progressive tax need not inhibit growth and like you I spent my early years on a council estate. We can agree to disagree in part. JJ

Progressive tax is the fair way when I earned more I paid 40% whereas now with my pensions I pay 20%. Carrington saddened by your post, not everyone is wealthy or can earn a good salary. JJ

Retirment, very much agree with your post; its the media that causes some to think that they are being harshly treated whereas by 2030 Labour will be wanting taxes to be trending down and so continue as our government. JJ

1ontheup hope you have a great holiday Melbourne is a fantastic place to stay, and a trip along the Great Ocean road is a must. I'm a cyclist but didn't cycle while there and I ought to go back. By the time you return MKS should be at a 52 week high to offset your holiday costs. JJ

1ontheup the BOE rate decision on 18th Dec. is likely to bring a drop of 25 points so overnight people with mortgages will be reassured and this could cause a late buying spree for Christmas. BOE could paper over any cracks arising out of the Budget. So not an obstacle but a good reason to buy/top up MKS. JJ

Tom it won't be at 7p , just as it didn't close at 6p today despite your conviction. JJ

Fender a while back you asked me about 'bank' shares so I hope you dipped your toe at least, NWG are about to hit a new high for the year; they pay a juicy div as well. JJ

P.S. you are on a winner with our meal deal right now, so I should be making MKS a strong buy, but no cheating.

Lucky, with all the money you have been 'banking' shouldn't you have made the trip? hope it goes well. Crazy as it seems NWG could be hovering around £7 by Feb. '26. Never imagined that we would be seeing that level when I added at £1.70. JJ

Putin won't agree to it; if there was a real chance for a deal then this would shoot to 15p or more. We have to be patient as we have have been for many a year. JJ

Trump has failed again and he will be busy blaming Z tomorrow; Putin is not going to fall into line. A sad state of affairs. JJ

Forensic, why wouldn't you, you should be holding your shares in ISA/SIPP so no issue. The tweak to the ISA rule will benefit investors over time. JJ

1ontheup I cannot see any case to believe that MKS will be at £6 in 2026; £5 within the next 18months is a good goal. A good tweaking of the ISA rule finds favour with all serious investors and should benefit MKS in the medium term. JJ

Rather see share buyback together with a share price above £3. JJ

If we get to 20p then I will cash in my original investment and allow the profit to run on. Honestly I can't see it happening before the new year; of course no harm in dreaming. JJ

If the banks are left alone then we should see a new high for NWG by Friday. JJ

We can expect share prices to be all over the place on Budget day and Thursday but come the end of the week I expect the FTSE to be on the rise. Uncertainty right now hence my 'hold' for MKS but come Friday it might be a 'strong buy'.

How many remember when Labour had top rate of tax on earned income of 83% with an extra 15% on unearned to produce top tax rate of 98%?? JJ

Looking forward to seeing 15p again at which point I will get excited. JJ
