Have the rampers gone on holiday?

Trebles all round... he's paying.

1 August - PPP gets suspended after nearly 10 bagging

1 November - Lenigas resigns Chairman and a new one is appointed

17 December - CEO resigns

For a suspended share, that board has been very busy for months, with around 100 posts a day. Seems a bit ominous despite the optimism over there.

'no mention being made of HH or of Loxley (gas).'

What about the abandonment costs? Surely ALBA will need to contribute if they want to stay in good standing with GOV?

Ocelot tends to ignore inconvenient questions...

I saw the post but did not realise that the execution was in Moscow; it will strike some fear into the hearts of those who are still confident to smoke by a window.

To the heroes — glory!

Financial masochism seems at play when ocelot posts 'If it's anything like UKOG 2024 RIP, we could be in for an interesting year.'

Down 90% over the last year, and he seems to welcome a repeat. Does he have that little respect for people like Insidious and Trollhunter who have seen their investment bleed out?

Flat tax rate is an ‘attractive idea’, Kemi Badenoch says

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/16/flat-tax-rate-is-an-attractive-idea-kemi-badenoch-says

'A flat rate of income tax would mean a tax rise for basic ratepayers and a huge cut for higher earners if the change was fiscally neutral.'

The irony of her stating that whilst standing on a Robin Hood pantomime set obviously passed her and her advisors by.

Even the dumbest 10-year-old knows that the Conservatives fücked up the economy during their 14 years in power; even $unak admitted it by calling the election 6 months early to pass the pile of 5h!t on to Labour.

'Budget reality from the Westminster clowns'

The clowns were the Conservatives who sold the roof whilst the sun was shining and managed to add trillions of £ to the National Debt whilst they were at it. The Market was never going to like having to face the reality of the mismanagement of the last 14 years.

At least reversing Brexit will bring some growth back.

'Ukrainian authorities postponed signing an agreement with the United States on processing and extracting rare earth minerals, in order to let U.S. President-elect Donald Trump claim credit for the deal when he takes office, the New York Times (NYT) reported on Dec. 14.'

But:

'Scholz can expect to lose today’s vote, touching off the planned course of events.

However speculation has been rife that the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party could try to torpedo the drive for a new election in a bid to create chaos. If enough AfD MPs voted for Scholz in the confidence vote, it could prop up his minority government against its will. To prevent this, the Bundestag is requiring lawmakers to vote by name thus leaving each on the record with their stated preference.

And the parliamentary group leaders of the Greens, junior partners in the government, have advised their members to abstain while the centre-right CDU/CSU and the FDP will vote against Scholz, thus virtually ensuring he won’t gain a majority.'

They seem to want angry poor people to manipulate.

Phil Moorhouse [left leaning Labour YouTuber] shows how is December advertising rates on YouTube show we are into a recessionary period / December economic figures might be dire:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W8bj1McluM

The rates he is getting in December is down on the annual average when it is historically 40% or more above the average. Advertising budgets are way down...

In 2050 somewhere between 7 and 10% of all births are projected to be in Nigeria.

It is way over time for our political leaders to be more honest with the population; as an ageing society with a declining birth rate, extreme steps need to be taken now to encourage more births otherwise the country will need to import even more taxpayers / workers.

That means more house building / renovation and more tax benefits for families and services for the youf. And that means higher taxes on all [much to the alarm of pensioners].

Get rid of bank deposit guarantees?

'"I'd like to start by apologizing to our viewers because last night I was on and I said Donald Trump had no plan for bringing down prices. But if in fact he wants to get rid of the FDIC and lay the groundwork for another Great Depression-style bank run, that would do it," she said. "That's how you get deflation, that's what happened during the Great Depression."'

Leaders of Rich Nations Are Deeply Unpopular. That Spells Trouble Ahead.

https://www.wsj.com/world/low-approval-voter-anger-wealthy-countries-ed5c23ed

Good article; there 2 paragraphs stood out:

'Voters in industrialized nations are anxious and angry after years of uncertainty caused by the pandemic, war in Europe, high inflation, stagnant real wages and surging immigration. Leaders are struggling to respond, constrained by tepid economic growth, higher borrowing costs and ballooning deficits that mean they are increasingly offering voters tough choices and trade-offs.

It’s a message many voters don’t want to hear, setting the stage for an era of increasingly fractious politics as parties squabble over how to share an economic pie that, with the notable exception of the U.S., isn’t growing. In European countries, it also threatens a kind of political doom loop, where unpopular leaders, often trying to hold together disparate coalition governments, struggle to pass meaningful legislation, preventing them from solving the problems voters elected them to fix in the first place.'

Troajan,

Yeah, I know; it is why I posted 'I know some might make money trading'.

But if you get caught out by a placing or some other bad news, more fool you.
