If tRump gets into power the world will have gone mad. Europe is discussing conscription already just in case. Ukraine will be given up, more nations will join NATO (the states will probably leave) and who knows where will be invaded next.

Reality is far more concerning.......

"Throughout the past few months, Vladimir Putin has offered up all manner of outlandish excuses for his invasion of Ukraine. At various different times he has blamed the war on everything from NATO expansion to imaginary Nazis, while also making completely unsubstantiated claims about Western plots to invade Russia and Ukrainian schemes to acquire nuclear weapons.

The reality, it now transpires, is considerably less elaborate and infinitely more chilling. Putin has launched the largest European conflict since WWII for the simple reason that he wants to conquer Ukraine. Inspired by the czars of old, Putin aims to crush his neighbor and incorporate it into a new Russian Empire".

Not funny at all.

To me, it could be the opposite, why…….If they intend to keep the production tonnage the same or similar (as they have said that they will install an electric arc furnace) it will mean lower production costs and less coking coal use. It will come down to what they make and if TATA intend to take the grants given by the government and scraper or to maintain meaningful levels of production and on what types of products. There are import tariffs on some steel products so exporting/importing is not always easy/straightforward. I would say though that in the worldwide scale we are fairly small beer in the U.K.

It seems to me that the market has less hope of a quick deal for a reasonable price being done at the moment. Maybe there needs to be some thinking on the ability to pay a dividend to both ru and kaz shareholders in the meantime to get the share price moving. No good news (of any sort) means a gentle float down in share price in my view.

GLASH.

"Whataboutism"is simply an argument for those that do not want to move forward but have no defence for their actions. So, how did every royal family or leader throughout history gain it’s wealth? Is that how far you want to go back? If more recent, how about the rich oligarchs? How about slavery, be it international or national serfdom? So, let’s all act like we have learnt from our mistakes and seek reason, going forward, because finger pointing is just an excuse for sticking ones head in the sand, and acting like you've done no wrong.

Captain swag

Why is it that you overlook the instigator of this war and the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by it? Why don't you call out that person and the system that supports their actions? Or is that too close to home for you?

We all know why you object to Bidens actions (and would no doubt by asspciation approve of tRumps) it's simply because the agressor would have been allowed to get away with murder, by that lapdog.

Cawn's is one way of looking at it. Another is that it's their standard fee, so why should it change?

Personally I'm over the moon with the move and resulting price rise of 60+% .

I would have been even happier to have my shares and divi's protected from capital gains tax, (they unfortunatly are not). Remember, people had the choice to remove their shares from all accounts before the redom.

With a present price of £3.50 and (war not withstanding) a potential move to let's say £6.50 in a couple of years (fingers crossed) it would only need a holding of 2.500+ shares or so to start paying CGT if they were all sold in any one tax year , not even taking into account any dividends.

What will happen if the russian unit is sold at a good price with any disbursement makes the safe harbour even more tax advantageous.

Just my view.

GLASH

Maybe he's unhappy about his countymen dying. Whereas the other side's leader has no care what so ever as to how many of his countrymen get called up to be killed in this meat grinder of young people. Be it in their outdated equipment or due to failed leadership.

Al Jazeera

“Putin confirms run for Russian presidency in 2024 election. The longstanding Russian leader confirms he will bid to add a fifth presidential term in the upcoming March election.”

The election is in 2024.....

Thanks JAB.

Can't see anything regarding the results of the General Meeting (though it should have finished by now I would have thought.

"8 December | 04:00 (UK) | 10:00 (Astana) | 07:00 (MSK) Subject: General meeting

Has anybody else seen any info or is my timing off?

Thanks.

“Russian women's groups protest against 'endless mobilization' of soldiers

Mothers and wives hope for the return of their loved ones sent to fight in Ukraine since September 2022. But their demand is not on the Kremlin's agenda.

The movement is difficult to quantify, but it is, at the very least, embarrassing the Russian regime. Across the country, groups of women have formed to demand the return of their husbands and sons from the Ukrainian front. According to official figures, which are probably underestimated, 300,000 of these men had been mobilized from September 2022 to take part in the "special military operation" launched by Vladimir Putin. Some 14 months on, their return does not appear to be on the agenda.”

APRIL 14, 2022

"The obscene stolen wealth of the Russian oligarchs is, at last, being brought out of the shadows. Like bacteria, the Russian Kleptopia is succumbing to exposure to light, as Putin’s filthy-rich supporters are sanctioned and their planes and yachts seized. Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton has drafted a bill titled Yachts for Ukraine, which would seize oligarchs’ yachts and planes and send the proceeds to benefit Ukraine.

Kleptopia is the visceral enemy of democracy and well-being and the lifeblood of despots. (See box: The bad guys are winning) The world is very late in awakening to the problem, but better late than never. "

Yet again it is the honest Russian people who suffer, so what's new.

Razza, are you part time on the tRump propaganda team now?

That has no relavence here, because it has nothing to do with your initial completely bogus statement.

Yes I do, you're just spouting biased rubbish that has no bearing on the true situation, to make some childish point that cannot be substantiated by the reality. Otherwise why not do some research yourself (remember you said that was so easy) and post facts.

Fiserv is the 100th largest company on the S&P with a valuation of 78.39B

So out of 33.2 million companies in the U.S. you propose the the 100 largest is in fact the "average" .

LOL!

"Jotom - just simply look up valuations of the S&P500.

It's not that difficult surely?"

"$86bn is the size of a reasonable average US company."

"According to the U.S. Business Administration, there are 33.2 million American businesses in 2023".

Anybody would know that the S&P 500 is exactly that, A list of the 500 biggest American companies. These are far from the average. Last time I worked it out the average between zero and 33.2 Million is not 500.

Maybe you should have looked up this yourself before you posted your propaganda.

"These amounts for funds like black rock are chicken feed. They've most likely got hedges against those losses as well if they are doing their jobs properly."

“BlackRock funds hit by $17bn in losses on Russian exposure.”

This is due to the war markdown. Hardly chicken feed, they will want to get that back in some way.

The fact that russ1a has more money tied up in London than vice versa protects the UK's investments in russ1a as russ1a has more to lose.

I do wish that people who blurt out around statements like "$86bn is the size of a reasonable average US company" showed some facts to back them up from time to time.
