Eta has stayed as Cat 4 but is moving slowly, and will drop two and a half foot of rain as it moves inland in Nicaragua and then into Honduras. Forecasters are saying it could be worse than Hurricane Mitch that caused 11000 deaths in 1998.

Bananas and pineapples will get more expensive - quite how a perfect pineapple costs less than a £ in the UK amazes me. A pineapple would have costs thousands of £s in today's money hundreds of years ago.

When the Democrat Cleveland was elected in 1892 the Republicans ruined the economy during the transition period. They were then able to blame the Democrats for the terrible state of the economy during Cleveland's presidency and take back power in the next elections.

Trump is not known for graciousness in defeat and the Republicans know their days are demographically numbered - if anyone would be likely to vindictively ruin what is left of the US economy Trump would be considered by some to be at the top of the list.

Biden needs a clean sweep of Congress, the Presidency and the House.

Gov signs deal for £45m for masks with company who sign deal to buy the masks for £21m - potential profit of £24m.

Our tax money - complain to your MP and ask for him/her to pursue incompetence or worse.

Cat 4 (maybe 5) going to hit Nicaragua and move inland - I am surprised that Condor Gold has not fallen significantly:

Makes sense to take a poor man's vote away; he might vote for something the ruling class do not agree with.

That is very close - if correct Mr T will probably win with the way their electoral college works.

Covid must be even worse than they are letting on?

I thought the £ must have dropped but did not have a look as the FTSE matter little to me at the moment. This is from the Share5 Mag email today

"The exporter-heavy FTSE 100 gained 1.16% to 5,642 shortly after 12pm as the pound grappled with the lockdown impact and various other issues, including a lack of progress on Brexit talks, the threat of the Bank of England setting negative interest rates on Thursday and the prospect of a contested outcome from the US election."

Negative interest rates on Thursday - well, if there is unrest in the US it would be a good day to announce them.

This is just the last wave of positivity before Armageddon. There will be instances of voter suppression tomorrow and Trump is likely to prematurely declare himself the winner whilst taking "legal" steps to end vote counting in Districts that he feels that stopping the count will be beneficial to him.

Martial law can be imposed by Trump in the event of rebellion and there is likely to be deadly rioting and skirmishes so he will have an excuse even if it his supporters causing the problems - suspension of habeas corpus would suit him as it will sideline those pesky courts, especially in areas that have more Democratic leaning judges that would not side with his interpretation of the body of law.

A Monday rise does not make a profitable week... Happy days...

Trolls will be using ad blockers...

'Good research means listening to the company'

Yeah; right; fat lot of good that has done. Why the silence when terrible results have to come out through the OGA stats? 120 bopd is less than was expected; the water cut was higher than expected. The silence is deafening; must ramp better?

£3? By the end of the week?

A bit hopeful?

Pelosi be damned?

I have 2 ways of looking at the results. If Trump wins cleanly it might be better for the UK economy, so I benefit. If he steals the result or causes unrest or damage after losing it will damage the US and the US damaged a part of the world during the Cold War / before the collapse of the soviet empire that I used to live in, so I get some retribution.

But I collect money and retired younger than most dream of so a Trump win is better for me as long as he does not start a war that causes me financial damage even though I think he is not the nicest or most trustworthy person you could come across.

I am expect turmoil and unrest though and that would sake markets.

Top quality polling that so reliable that 5-38 do not rate them though?

But it was in the interweb so must be write?

Interesting that the last thing they say in that clip is that a shock (large scale conflict?) is what is needed to end the economic rut we are in. You would have thought economists were wise enough to know that COVID is providing the shock which is going to eat a lot of the spare capital that has been causing low / negative interest rates.

Whilst we are unlikely to see land use changes in the near future in the UK I personally think that there will be a significant rise in smart small holdings over the next few decades and that these small holdings will be on land that has mainly been used for grazing. Grazing land tends to have an intact rhizosphere as little, if any, NPK fertilisers have been added.

Oilman Jim's weekly column is always worth a glance - he starts of this weeks with the following paragraph. His use of the phrase "without constant access to new funds, most of these AIM companies are worthless" caught my eye.

"It’s troubled times with oil price plus US election uncertainties on the international front and Brexit realities now coming into mainstream focus in the UK. Personally, I would be cautious at present, particularly given the economic implications of COVID-19 countermeasures and the structural changes which may take place as a result, plus Britain is now uniquely disadvantaged, being the only country facing new trade barriers with its major export market on January 1. If the economy contracts further, as it most likely will, remember that without constant access to new funds, most of these AIM companies are worthless.'
