Government could stop pouring money into wind turbines and give a bigger proportion to tidal projects.

With move towards digital currencies and government scrutiny, people had better start loving gold, if they want any agency of their financial lives.

Any thoughts on gold retracing to c. $1600?

There is more COVID mortality in India than Indian official figures;thus more illness and more gold sales to add to weakness in gold price.

Not sure that they are any more “woke” than the rest however, that’s not the problem.
Lockdown Mark 1 showed the great British public how few shows ITV and BBC have in their repertoire other than more “reality+/- ‘celebrities’”. I was introduced to Chef’s Table by my child during first lockdown…the production values are staggeringly good. That is where the likes of ITV and BBC are failing…damn all investment or ambition to improve their product.

Just don’t try HL…your dividends are only reinvested in a short window each month .

PM made a good point, should a minor royal expect to phone up a company, play the female card and as ask for the dismissal of someone who has ****ed them off and expect their demand to be fulfilled? Not a fan but think he has a right to speak without being shouted down by his fellow presenters either. Markle is what she is but she is not an absolute monarch.

Not why this in particular is at such a discount ; think there is a prejudice against the company: have been comparing Emerging market ITs and no mention of Aberdeen’s EM IT, and it is in the top quartile performance-wise, unlike Templeton’s or Barings which got the column inches.

Hope you averaged in during market sell-off…been very undisappointed with this IT

Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow but never jam today

Looking at this as alternative to long held and depressing BEMO and JEMI, already have MMIT and AEMC…sitting on hands trying to work out consequences of the unholy alliance between China and taliban.

Insurance sector much unloved…are they all bargains?

John Lewis has failed because shops are full of franchises, cut back on stationery, haberdashery, material so no point going there for something you actually need so suckers miss out on temptation of all the other departments , own label goods have become dross if not rubbish, , so M&S has a gap to exploit with high street presence. Furnishings and furniture… have a 15 y’old M&S bed which is exceptional quality, rather buy M&S own brand linens etc and other home wares, than John Lewis, ditto in woollen goods , menswear good quality for price, children stuff always good, and on trend, fortunately out of that demographic now, although never liked their shoes etc and particularly hate the vegan leather trend…it’s bloody plastic. Also good they have taken up Jaeger. So yes I think they are going the right way, just could improve shop interiors….touch of the ASDA?! and stop closing branches.

Masojada trained as an underwriter...Hussain KPMG chartered accountant and has stayed in finance divisions since then...does this appointment tell us where Hiscox and more importantly, Childs, wasn’t the company to go?
Ps: he was born 1972...not sure young is the adjective that springs to mind.

She will be ic remuneration committee...usual place to shove female NEDs. Looks like she will be quite busy elsewhere.
Use your vote when time comes.

Too late AI already being used by Virgin media to optimise customer relations??!! Spent some fruitless time communicating with Andi Bot....funnily enough ended up with a person . Just another deterrent to customer’s persisting in trying to speak to a human.

thanks for this. Bottom line: tides are constant or we are all damned

added a few, alas, before low yesterday...bought these as an inflation play.

Hays positive trading statement...SP down 6.4% and counting, obviously.
