Total have already said they are pulling investment. Jeremy needs to stop being a Hunt

It was . But during Covid on line was just about the only choice and on line companies got over excited including Amazon which took on more warehouse space than it needed. When they announced they were cutting back it spooked the market. And with looming recession and Putins war investors took fright. It has never recovered since thought things are beginning to look up as its realised that online is here to stay and that just in time has put the wind up a lot of companies who now want to keep a store of stock. Lidl is one who have took on warehousing to store non perishables like tins of beans etc. There will be some cutting back but it will take out the weaker players leaving those with quality RE like BBOX and SHED in stronger positions. Thats mo opinion others may have differing ones

Recession, Andrew Bailey, Jermey Hunt, Vladimir Putin plus plenty other shadows - take your pick

Of course its hyseria. What else would you call that idiotic school child widely reported blubbering on the medias today.
What else would you call reparations to countries 'ravaged by climate change) - as yet unproven especially the human effect. Do we not get credit for the steam engine, the railways, the myriad of industrial inventions that have brought wealth to large parts of the world. No one was aware of the dangers. Britons have suffered as much as any population. I think the great smog of london killed 4000 in a few days. It wasnt Britons that burnt away the Amazon or the forests of SE Asia to produce palm oil. It wasnt Britons that overgrazed the African savannas. The Chinese can't claim not to know the consequences of their powere stations - though they may dispute it. Do you think their representative (if they could be ****d to turn up to COP 2027) would agree to pay reparations on Day 1? I have grave doubts. Its hysteria and stupidity in my book

You may remember ex div today - 6p !

It has. Off you go !

Gordon Bennett. Thats me put in me place. I did say barring shocks. Im shocked. Has GB gone bust and shut up shop with no one going to buy anything ever again. Oh no. Glastonbury tickets sold out within hours of going on sale and foreign travel also booming - M/c airport desperately trying all sorts to recruit more staff. I thought Kwarteng is on the right track. Whoever is in charge of this mess has a job on. We know labours approach - hit the creators and give it away to the idlers. That idiot Sunak didnt need to give away the family silver but Kwarteng has to do something to ease the energy pressure. On top of that he is doing his best to get wealth creation moving. He needs our understanding and support imo - and patience. Give em two years and see how it goes. I like Truss. She has balls. She isnt a popularity seeking idiot like Fatso Johnson and she is a proper Conservative which we have been sorely missing since Thatcher. Just need to see what Tory policy Braverman has planned to sink the dinghies faster than the pound

Looking at todays trading pattern it would suggest the bottom has been reached barring shocks. Still some hefty sales though. Why would you at this stage?

Well Im glad I didnt have a dip on Tuesday. I figured we are still in panic mode. I reckon most of the problem today is the useless BoE under the even more useless Andrew Bailey. A socialist in charge of the BoE - asking for trouble. Lest go .5% say I. No lets go .75% say I. No .25% says another. Nowt like an agreed policy in a time of crisis. Lets go down the middle then neither one nor t'other. Enough to damage the REITS etc and not enough to suit the finacial sector. Add to that his almost triumphalist cry of 'Britains nearly in a recession you know' like a nasty school kid who has just discovered a juicy bit of gossip about a classmate. Like everything else in the country its a shambles.

Looks like you were right though Ant. We must be close to the bottom now - maybe 145 as you said. Its 'probably' a good one to buy now and hold for 12 mnths to 2 yrs or so. As I say life will go on and its not like no one wants what they have on offer

Amazing. Everytime I think this must be about the base it surprises me and falls some more. I like to muse about the psychology of investors. I note there are many sales at the moment and one was for around 23,000. I appreciate that its probably going to be a while until BBOX approaches anything like its fairly recent glory, that there are probably better returns to be had elsewhere currently, but it must be a while since anyone bought at much below its current price so I would imagine those selling today are doing so at a fairly hefty loss and are a bit after the horse bolted. Or maybe there are a few left yet to bolt. The company itself hasnt done anything wrong. Its an often cited altruism that those that allow themselves to be panicked into selling on a bad day probably dont really know why they bought in the first place and more often than not are the losers and that those who hold their nerve and buy when the price is unreasonably low will usually see good return. My view for what its worth is that yes energy is high but people will adapt. Life wont stop. i was just looking to rent a holiday cottage for a week. Most are booked solid well into next year. Went in to a pub for a drink yesterday. We had to sit outside because every single table inside was reserved for meals. The markets are in panic mode at the moment. We all know how fickle they are. The other thing is the war isnt going well for Putin. He had better stay away from windows and buy a longer table. But if the war ends - and its beginning to look a bit of a fools errand then the market will react accordingly and another altruism is that there arent many great days on the market so you dont want to miss em. Now then should I buy some more?? Not at the moment - there is too much panic and I havent got the balls :-)

Buy the dips ! Should be plenty opportunities :-)

I am sure these brokers do their ratings with a dart or just pick a number depending on what is in the days papers. Looks like Barclays just worked out last week that there is a cost of living squeeze and are now using Baileys inflation predictions.

yes id picked that up - eventually! but hadnt made the connection. Cheers. Just shows though how touchy the mkt is at the moment. The knock ons are so tenuous

What caused that drop today then ?

Nick
I expect it to. For all the doom and gloom ( a lot of it generated gleefully by the MSM) life goes on and people adjust.

At first reading looks good enough to me and pretty much as expected (hoped for). Also interesting is NXT reporting increase in sales although the mad dash for on line during pandemic has slowed amid return to bricks and mortar and analysists reports that on line sales growth have returned to pre pandemic levels ( which would appear to be born out by NXT - unless the reports were based on that). Also I note that Amazon is recruiting staff. So all in a ll a good start to the day. Just need that bloody war to end

Yep. A rise rather than a fall would have been more hoped for cos the price will fall tomorrow. Lets hope the results blow the market away !!. I cant see them being bad at all.

I just read the news item opposite. Virtually all are about some broker cutting price targets . Its ridiculous. Anyone could predict which companies in which sectors are going to get rerated downwards at the moment. Hardly news is it.

The ughuirs and the Tibetans may disagree with you

Not a conincing analysis 'anyone know anything? I took a punt' :-)
