Foolmeonce - is that all it took your unquestioning mind to be persuaded the wrong was right?

My late Dad would never have voted for Labour in his day, but I think he would now vote for Starmer if he had the choice, just to be rid of these charlatans. Leave the EU to forge new relations unhindered by those ties, and then harm chances of forming new relationships be acting like an untrustable partner.

They have made the country poorer and less happy just to remain in power... some might go as far as to say there is a hint of treason in putting personal and party fortunes above the Nation's when you act in such bad faith.

EFF article about Google adding Web Environment Integrity (WEI) to Chrome. It will stop people like myself from self-identifying as using Internet Explorer or being the Google Web-crawler when I visit a website.

From the article:

"Two pieces of string walk into a bar.

The first piece of string asks for a drink.

The bartender says, “Get lost. We don’t serve pieces of string.”

The second string ties a knot in his middle and messes up his ends. Then he orders a drink.

The bartender says, “Hey, you aren’t a piece of string, are you?”

The piece of string says, “Not me! I'm a frayed knot.”"

Even the interactive charts work on the archived version of the FT article... good read.

Another false dawn?

PM2022 - are you suggesting that no wealthy and successful business person should invest in VAL when you write 'what does she care investing a few quid in a penny stock'? Adam must appreciate the compliment.

PatientInvestor8 - if 'ASSETS appreciate' then what is VAL? When you factor in the consolidations the share price has fallen from nearly £1000... significant depreciation.

Moody’s cuts ratings of 10 U.S. banks and puts some big names on downgrade watch

Our time will come

A hidden and undiscussed danger of EVs is the damage they will do to grid transformers that do not get the cool down time overnight that is an essential part of their design; from an IEEE report:

"Take power-grid transformers. These essential voltage-converting components are designed to cool down at night, when power consumption is typically low. But with more people charging their EVs at home at night, the 30-year design life of a transformer will drop—to perhaps no more than three years once mass adoption of EVs takes hold."

Pecten11,

I do not have an iPhone but I do use Hyperweb on my iPad [works on iPhone] and there are no ads on this site on it:

Reddit says 1Blocker is the best:

Both are free (with in-app purchases)

NB - I practise internet hygiene; I use an iPad and iMac for personal emails / financial stuff and use a cheap Chromebook loaded with extensions and scripts for most of my browsing.

Some got spiked:

'The biotech’s stock skyrocketed 1,272% from market close Friday, rising from $1.68 per share to $24.70 as the market opened Monday. The stock has evened out a bit since then, hitting $12.07 per share at 11 a.m. ET.'

Must feel a bit dumb to be down more than 50% on a share that went up over 500% in a day.

Shaz,

As at 30th September, 2018, the fully diluted Net Asset Value per share was 6.78p...The last published NAV was 22.5p.

Obviously people are disappointed with the current share price direction and general sentiment but you could say that JV has made tremendous progress returning an over 200% increase in share price in slightly under 5 years.

I have posted a few times recently that the Grid needs major investment... It should be a national(ised) asset that is funding by and for the common good. And, the Grid needs to change to handle decentralised production and local micro grids.
