Have to admit I know little about it but you make some salient points , massive reserves over 3 billion tons at the last count , not including the massive North Sea reserves and for the last 20 years or thereabouts we've been bringing it in from abroad . At the moment clean technology from what I can read , still isn't all that clean but that's probably down to a lack of investment . Trouble is these days if your not green ,investment is difficult to come by . Nice to hear that the French , like the Chinese are starting to have reservations about Hinkley although I suspect this may be a negotiatiing ploy to screw further concessions from HMG .

Thanks for the reply . ATB

End of an era , sad day for the miners who have lost their jobs ......By far the cheapest fossil fuel available to us and by far the dirtiest but it does make you wonder if more could have been done to make coal cleaner rather than have rediculously expensive projects like Hinkley Point .

As "somebody " said the only certainty is uncertainty. Lol

Especially if you started with a full one. US didn't do us any favours , been a reasonable few days so maybe tomorrow , wasn't far off today .

Might even hit 300p today if we get a boost from the US . .......that positive enough ?

What IPO. ?

Just a wee note of caution, didn't want to disappoint you , lol.

Aye , I know ....Half empty as usual , lol.

Morning ...in the spirit of. Christmas .I was going to post , humbug , lol. Might be a bit too early to tell how this will pan out . The oil price. , one of the main reasons for the fall in share prices , dropped again . Still a number of economists who think this may have been a risky move by Yellen , hopefully they're wrong.

Another nice little tick up .........300p here we come ?

Fingers crossed. GL

So far this year the Dow is up slightly , not as much as 20% though, so still a 2 in 3 chance it could rise next year . However , as it's only slightly up it could still drop by year end which would mean of course a 2 in 3 chance of a rise next year but should it take off in the next couple of weeks , unlikely I grant you , it could go higher than a 20% rise , in which case we can expect a 2in 3 chance of a rise next year .Or to put it another way there's a 33.3 % chance of a drop next year . ...............statistics , don't ya just luv 'em.

Very interesting ???......Care to explain why you posted it .

Some societies regard capitalism as the devils work, lol . Wasn't quite meaning it in that sense when I mentioned an omen . ......Should / could be an interesting day tomorrow if the market hasn't already allowed for it .

Nice little blip up today..........maybe it is an omen . Lol

Good to have you back......beginning to think you were off on a world cruise . Feels like old times , you and the Traveller popping up . Maybe it's an omen for a rise in the SP , lol.

Hi mate , good to see you , hope all is well in Kirkie . ....The market has been dropping for months now , Global slowdown , oil price , China etc ., will it continue to adversely affect the SP , probably , question is how much , I wouldn't want to put a figure on it . Cash is a good place to be at the moment but you've maybe left it a bit late. Unless you need the cash you might be as well just waiting it out or depending on the size of your holding cash in half . Hedge your bets so to speak ..... Whatever you do ! Hope it works out for you . ATB

No idea what happened , IPad acting up , lol.

407p eh , this is Osborne not McEwan ,...... take out all the fees and charges and he can more or less justify a breakeven price of 407p as opposed to the 501p that we , the tax payer , actually paid for them . He's desperate to get these off the balance sheet , if he can spin a price of 407p and get away with it , he!'ll do it . More gravy on the city's Christmas turkey .
