Incidentally getting ahead of myself if PAT hit 54 that would put us on the All Share top mrkt cap list in joint bottom place (654) with Panther Securities (no relation) along with 7 others.
A company I had stock in a few years ago and thought was a no hoper has just joined the list at a value of £48•4m.

The World's second largest economy has largely recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic but is grappling with higher raw material costs, supply chain hold ups & travel restrictions in several countries. An outbreak of Covid-19 in Guandong, China's main exporting province is disrupting shipments. S.Korea & Japan are showing signs of a manufacturing slowdown due to shortages of chips in the auto and computer sectors. Exchanges are very quiet with no guide from Wall St. The Nikkei is flat, Shanghai even and Hong Kong off 80. Pan Pacifics are better, only KL is in the red.

It's not surprising emotions run high mainly due to the poor sp performance of late. I'm as guilty as the next man to being p****d off by current trading though I try to refrain from making it personal. Its tough to keep on an even keel when the ship is sinking but one has to accept that sellers are steering the boat atm. I hope that changes which I feel sure it will as PAT is seriously oversold imo.

Well said rugs. I totally agree.

Japanese investors remain positive after BOJ's comments on the economy. The 225 remains flat (+17) in quiet trading and the broader Topic index slipped back. Profit takers had the upper hand in Hospitality and Retail stocks. SK hit an all time peak on back of a record intraday high on the Nsdq, with gains seen in Samsung and Hyundai two bell'wether companies. Pan Pacifics are mixed, Jakarta & Sydney both lower.

I see no point in continuing this conversation. Drilling or digging...really! Best we agree to disagree in a reasonably civil manner and leave it at that.

S-T I'm too stupid to leave :(
