Blimey.....even the real quote is much wider than usual. Im only being quoted 16.45 to sell.

So a 2.5p spread which is historically large

Any chance you could give it a scratch mate as the short term market euphoria seems to have by-passed us lol

Mind you MMs maintaining that cra ppy headline spread probably isnt helping

Hmmmm share is effectively up just under 20p today, with Brent struggling to hold its current levels around $64.50

Personally Id be very happy if we re-grouped around these levels today, ready for a move north once sanity really returns to markets. It might take US/China being resolved for that to really happen

Strange how this how happened the day he met Bill Ackman (major billionaire) who warned USA faced an economic nuclear winter without a pause!

.....now the White House are spinning it as "The Art of the Deal" and we should be in awe of Trump lolol

Jeez wept the volatility is incredible....who knows where we will be at 8am tomorrow

LOL FTSE futures currently showing +454 - do you think even HBR can cover its ex-div drop on a day like that? :)

Oil nudging $65 Brent

Well first off, Im happy that we arent joining in the general market apocalypse. However the MMs are doing a very good job currently of snuffing out any new tax year / ISA related bounce with a stupid headline spread and the ability to call upon enough sales to balance the books each day

Theres incredible intra-day volatility in markets, so for the time being Im happy SAR is an ocean of (underpriced) calm :)

Thank you Crocqman for the (better than mine) explanation

Blackcap - just ST FU..... I dont make up stuff desperate or otherwise. Please go away and fill in the gaps in your knowledge....which are apparently substantial

Agreed - would much rather see a sustained rise over a few weeks, than the usual spikes which attract a herd whose investment time frame is around an hour lol

One would have to see exactly when the mcap fell below £100m to see if Fed caused it. Could just as easily be when PM did that shambles of an interview with Proactive, saying come back in 6 months

Blackcap - if you dont beleive some funds are precluded from investing in sub £100m companies, you are even more stupid than i thought

Well they could be offloading because they have lost confidence, or alternatively, perhaps their investing mandate doesnt allow investments in sub £100m companies?

If he makes tariff deals conditional on countries buying more US goods then we could have a problem

Hes already lamabasted the Japanese for not buying enough US autos (I wonder why) and flogging chlorinated chicken and hormone stuffed beef to Europe is going to be another hard sell

Well the oil price carnage has been awful for most oil stocks, but just maybe it will incentivise some companies to dispose of some fields they no longer view as viable.....hopefully ORCA can find some

Absolutely!

I would be almost certain that a lot of the funds miraculously knew when to start selling and go short on the markets and on oil. Pure coincidence of course

LOL I presume the orange one has proclaimed something positive....Dow bounced 1500 in about 5 mins! Oil jumped from 64 to 67

....and theres a possible reason for the bounce - 1.4m at 159.5p

Not a matched pair either, so possibly a short closing, or someone accumulating?

Im guessing yield support and some shorts closing has accounted for the bounce off 156p low, coz Brent hasnt really done anything

LOL I guessed that trade might be a bit small potatoes to be yours :)

With quite a bit of buying despite the absolute market carnage

This being Sareum though., they miraculously find sales to balance the books....sigh

Apologies if ive guessed wrong buy theres a pair of trades at 8:01 that looks like a Bed and ISA for £5k. Transacted at 15.5/15.9

Apologies if its far too small :)
