Well...just gone into the plus column but not with much conviction....understandably invstrs are wary of G matching these figs through '19
if the global economy hits severe headwinds. Traders who caught the bottom this morning have done ok but needed luck and great timing. First time I've ever heard an expo o..lie called boring and predictable lem! I do hope you were joshing. But while we act like a subsidiary of Barclays hoarding money i guess your right.

Best ask your broker. That's too technical for me to give advice. I have my view but as I say get professional advice.

Down and back up on c.1.56m traded. Luvvly jubbly for traders but little for lth as they huff'n puff this share price down. A lot of hot air about nothing but fun while it lasts..

Another stupid woman, Bercow was right, tells us the PM will cont to deliver on her no hope Brexit policy....well thanx for that Leadsom.
All these craven MPs supporting this dreadful deal with no unilateral exit on the backstop and involves handing over £39bn with little in return. The ECJ and role of foreign judges would not definitively end. EU politicians could impose regs disadvantageous to British interests and clearly damage prospects of US trade deals as the ambassador recently said.

We're exchanging great opportunities in favour of be tied to a rule centered state favoured and run by Germany and France.
Unfortuneately I live in a red hot Labour borough that voted remain else I'd be knocking down his constituency clinic door.

Comeonvog...you checked Spo of late...ouch!

Wot? Not another bloody one!!

Bunks...heh heh heh!! Off G for a no and back on bloody Brexit. We don't need a no deal or a better deal or any other type deal....we just effn need to leave!

Any chance of cancelling the TU and have another go later on a la the referendum?

I have cancelled the bolly reception at midday. It's pints of mild ' n bitter if you wanna come.

This is turning into a ***** dog of an sp! Very much damned if they do ..damned if they don't. However much we protesters the mrkt doesn't give a fig. I repeat there's life outside of G. Regretably i cannot point you in the right direction but look for stocks with a competitive long-term advantage with management you trust and the ability to raise prices free from regulation. Coca Cola is the outstanding example.
As WB said if you dont have a good idea what a business is going to be like in 10 years you dont understand the buisness.
So, that's a clue for starters, look for businesses that's doing the same thing today as a decade ago. That might rule out a lot of techs which move too fast abd suffer from intense competition and the unknown.
If G satisfies this criteria....well good luck because we must all be getting very bored by scratching our heads and gnashing our teeth over G.
Before you jump down my throat...well do as you preach, I did on my blood thing which satisfied 8/10 of my core requirements. The two that didn't pass the test were a) sphere was a start up/No track record & b) i wasn't on first name terms with the board.

I have spoken to Craig and lse are contacting the developers as they are aware of this problem...

Lower than expected on a 'day like today I looked at you and saw something in the way'....(Keane).

200 paid..

Fer chrisssakes this is now 3 posts and 3
bloody log- ins! Ffs, get a grip Lse! I see no imperative reason to buy back today while the results are perhaps above par cash sitting in the bank not earning its keep is a waste of time.
Paying a £20/30m dividend could imo be used better for holders...mind you lumpy share holders will disagree. Trouble is allocation of capital has hardly been the bods strong suit of late.
Be interesting to see what the mrkt makes if it, no doubt they will disagree with my view and send the sp soaring...heh heh heh...

Oh dear...No blockbuster as the nos were mapped by Len and others these last few wks. I'm not wildly enthused perhaps more mildly pleased.

As well as G, Ophir statement this morning. Ophir has told suitor Medco t raise its £340m offer or walk away. Ophir has lost 90% of its value since 2014.

Having watched Bango slide from 170 ish (nearly hit the buy button, 2500 shares) was dissuaded by Mrs Buffet....phew! I missed the 80 low, sucking my thumb as usual only to see a rapid climb back to 105.

Thats two lows on stocks I have been monitoring failing to act! Confidence is a big factor in my stock picking make-up and it's been very low of late, too many negative thoughts and being indecisive both fatal flaws I have adopted of late.

Still I have my £2k intact so which is it to be, Bango bonkers or degenerate Genel?

Late into the pm session the ftse was trading down 67 awaiting the crucial vote tomorrow, result after the mrkts close. It was very much a risk off day for invstrs. Sterling rose to a 7 month high ($1.285) on May saying she had received valuable new assurances from Brussels.
Whether that will be enough to save her skin is doubtful but should she pull a rabbit out of her hat and the DUP are minded to support her some MPs might switch sides.

Stocks in focus were miners and oils mostly lower on the OP and China data. RBS added 7 among banks. Strange happenings on flybe in receipt of an offer from Virgin at 1p rose to 4.12p as ex Stobart CEO picked up a 12.2% stake.
At the close the 100 was off 63 (6855), All down 33, the 250 fell 125 (18418) and Aim down 6 (904).

In NY stocks came under selling pressure from the bell sinking to a low of 23765 (-231) as the Q4 banking report season gathers pace. Citigroup rose c 4% on profits beating estimates but short on revs.
Others reporting this wk are W.Fargo (a core Buffet holding) JPMC both today and Goldman, BOA (both Buffet stocks) on Wed & Morgan Stanley on Thursday.
Incidentally Buffet owns 700m shares in BOA, 11.4m in Goldman and 482.5m in Wells Fargo as of 2017.
A sour note to the days trading was the
announcement from PG&E Corp a gas/electricity Co filing for bankruptcy, shares tanked 52%.

The Dow fell back late on to close down 86 (23908) the 500 off 14 (2583), Nsdq -66 (6906) & R2000 lower by 15 (1433).

Diff picture in Asia mrkts up across the region on news from China that they will be instituting measures to reduce burdens on companies. They also said that 2019 GDP is forecast at 6 to 6.5%. TK up 178 playing catch up, HK gaining 430 and SH adding 22.

The nos: Oil $59.71. Gold $ 1290. £$ 1.290. £€ 1.124.
Vix 19. FF+48. DF+150.
Morning all.

In my expierience rises in sp's pre T/Up dates etc are the result of good news leaking out of the Co. So, has the Co managed to keep the nos under wraps or is it simply that G will have little news on operations other than we are aware of? As a potential invstr I'm hoping for a muted report so I can buy back lower down.
Either way I hope G provides you what you wish for whether Gas news, increased eps
profits and revs. Long termers will know that they are part owners in a business, not a sp symbol to be traded on chart patterns or analysts target prices (God forbid). Instead one must believe that if G continues to progress as most believe it will, your investment will appreciate as well.
G might be an exception to this rule if so you have made a mistake and should move on if the mrkt sends G stock lower tomorrow. I shall wait for the casino hour to end then assess.
