Asset seizure would be killer blow for London as a stock market for international company listings.
Not that I think our glorious leaders have looked at collateral effects of their actions. Register of overseas holders of UK property interests would be interesting...it's not just Russian oligarchs who have been buying property in UK.
Separately, wouldn't want to be in Taiwan/HK just now...Chinese could take advantage of Putin's perfidious behaviour to implement their own plans.

any clever person know how much of POLR's turnover is linked to PCT? ...rough comparison of Polar's ITs and POLR show POLR has fallen by far the most in YTD

FYI: TEG operating in same area....usefully figures come out much earlier than BOWL.

Bang on....impossible to square customers' expectations of investment houses delivering fat profits and customers' investments based on woolly concepts of ESG...they will expect compensation when investing in poor-performing assets like alternative sources of energy when they don't yield the fat profits. Bit like TESLA etc....strip away tax credits and government subsidies from the EV industry to see what you are really buying..pig in a poke comes to mind.

Ouch! doesn't bode well for next week's bank SP performance.

not wanting to be a total cynic but...how far are the Russians and the USA likely to have agents provocateurs on the ground?..not exactly out of character for either side.

spot on...is it ironic that the president of Indonesia has lectured G20 accumulated Finance ministers and central bankers...meeting in Jakarta, natch, to grow up and stop ramping up military threats?

Am more interested in how NWG's figures look ahead of the rest of the field reporting next week.

Ah, that would be the ex-comedian ic Ukraine? IMO, the Americans do not understand history other than through the Hollywood lens so have little real understanding of the long history of counterparties in any field of conflict. Looks like a pattern emerging: Europeans seem to achieve some de-escalation in European time , then Uncle Joe pops up with another swipe of his sabre when we are tucked up in our beds.

some expert said this am. that USA has decided to use Ukraine/Russia situation as example to demonstrate USA's commitment to opposing any Chinese invasion of Taiwan ...sounds plausible...after all, don't think Biden has anywhere else to flex his muscles that would leave USA unaffected pretty much and someone else ie: NATO carries the can.

Are we being led by the nose by U S of A and sabre-rattling?

Henry Boot RNS says Joanne Lake has been appointed NED at BMS....nothing on BMS RNS yet.
another NED collecting NEDs...hope she has time to contribute.

If any of the information from boards is reliable, dividend cover was very low...is this now a sell on SME vulnerability to rising rates?

sorry...Biden's sabre-rattling affects POLY IMHO and threats to European gas supply not likely to encourage much support from Biden's NATO allies.

Hmm...that will obviously go down well with Germany

LGEN sp lagging AV.; pretty much same yield forecast...LGEN been good for me income-wise so remain LTH, and that's the point, this is an income stock.( FYI: HL giving LGEN big recommendation in email re investing to profit from ageing population this weekend.)

and there I was thinking time had come to bite the bullet and cut my hugely underwater position....still like the concept but would be so much happier if the Gupta could be expunged.

ii purchase should be a good thing...so why is ABDN trading so badly?

BJ's behaviour should be no surprise to any Londoner who witnessed his mayoralty... so zip on that.
Lagarde of course was foisted on ECB by Macron...who is still seeking revenge for 1815

berenberg post buy recommendation target 250?????
