Wids ,

20% correction a given , in your eyes how much further to drop ?

Still no "rec" facility

JL,

Re : Condor , Emirates hasn't made a profit since inception , everywhere we look on TV it's there on advertisement . How's Condor going to stay afloat ? A captive market of 80M . It will be interesting to see how long And how much German Gov will sustain before throwing towel in .

The Berlin Shuttle to Majorca , partly owned by Lufthansa and Emirates , debts of €300M , with a possible customer base of 8M folk , numbers don't stack up . Arms being twisted in EU Utopia

JL , follow your logic , but to maintain success you need to be free from State aid , a process needs to be self sustaining . My point being , self help.

Following EU rules , who's going to bail out DB , German Gov or ECB ? We'll find out in due course

"Currently the company has five outstanding charges-effectively mortgages- most of them with Lloyds Bank."

Welsh co gone bust with the loss of 252 jobs , on account of £343k annual loss . WTF is wrong with folk , chip in £1.5 k each and form cooperative . Where has our spirit of enterprise gone ?

Am I missing something ?

Slean,

Link of the year !!

Oxo,

Admin are getting out of hand , they should be ashamed of themselves.

Still no rec facility , hence some good posts looking under appreciated.

BB ,
It's now cheaper to produce 1 kw of power from renewables than fossils .

Renewables depreciation is over 20 yrs , to compensate for high setup costs .

Calisto/wids ,

Don't you find it odd , the so called experts were forecasting a Fed rate of 3% only one yr ago in this economic cycle . Now we know Zirp is a given . Demand for US 10 yrs will skyrocket , they have a yield . Inevitable prolonged till 10 yrs yield nowt .

BB , I wouldn't be surprised if it approaches 40p .

BB last post taken down in extra quick time . Thought police Definately on our case .

BB , I anticipate 10 to 20% correction this Halloween, similar to REF +1 day . Keep some powder dry .

ERV1,

My "rec" still down . Need it more than ever since Sunday , some great posts flying about .

Hooky ,

I assume you don't have a daughter ? We know they'll adapt , when hungry survival kicks in , in all beings .

Mickey1 ,

We've obviously been mega naughty in thought polices eyes . As a silver fox it makes me smile . Let's serve our penance and give it till next Monday . Patience , bear in mind DCB keeps getting banned , BB and UTT have done touch line bans , you and I are rather fortunate !!

BB , off topic , before thought police delete knowledgeable thread .

Up until last Xmas , would have agreed 100% with your last observation . Simple discussion , as all families do at Xmas time , then my daughter dropped bombshell ," what would you do to save Polar bears ?" . BB , I was speechless , "let dad think and research options " .

I think I have one of MANY self sustaining possible green options , presently waiting on patent confirmation , will post to you once confirmed in next 2 weeks , IPO keep asking for further info . As a nation , we are renown for our innovation , far too many business folk place profit before National prosperity , I am not one of them.

ATB !

Love you,

That's a lot of happy youngsters .

Fellas , no "rec" option yet . I've been a willie , willie naughty boy !

BB , just to highlight how distorted our Politicians logic is , one in Holland wants to slaughter half their farming stock to reduce Nitrous oxide emissions .

BB,

"The Germans aren't stupid Levi." Have to disagree , they tried to fool world again , with their vehicle emissions this time . Their arrogance is leading them into Recession .

Fusion Power , giant magnets to keep molten plasma in check , too many variables , too dangerous .

I agree , there is no climate emergency . Proper integration of renewables , should enable UK to be self sufficient electrically .

LTI ,

It's not that gloomy for our offspring.

But not in Germany ,

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2019-09-30/a-crisis-is-brewing-in-german-manufacturing

Complacency, arrogance and the demise of the internal combustion engine is taking it's toll on German manufacturing .

UK on the other hand , world leaders in new battery technology .

It is imperative , in all facets of business to stay ahead of the curve . In this day & age fashions/whims change faster than ever .

Wids ,

They trialled it in Finland last yr , didn't work , tension between workers and spongers on same wages/benefits .

As we know , lessons of past soon forgotten . Despondency endemic until a Society collapses .
