Asia Subdued across the piece - I'm not expecting quite the stellar morning Deutsche enjoyed as such....but hope I'm wrong 😁

Yeah, think it was the Telegraph quoting that incorrect p/e figure a week ago....Tuesday should be interesting/ok, as Dow didn't get mullered on Friday by Tariff twaddle.

Bit fractious day was that.... Tuesday is another week and 50% tariff EU nonsense will have moved to the ether....

In other crossing the line news, we have just crossed the line back into profit for the day….

Oh, I'd just got the ropes and tarps out for a knuckle-down long weekend.

But can the fightback be starting against the 🍊 shorters ?

To paraphrase a much loved Merlin bestowed Bank Holiday-esque film from 1969...'I've got a bit of trade over Maidstone for you....Ryce Leader, this is SME Control. Bandits now twenty miles east of you, heading south-east, vector one-two-zero, and make angels two-o.

Tally ho....

Yeah our little flotilla of holders are literally bobbing jerkily on a little tsunami type 'tide' today.

Nothing one can do but rope everything down and tae a big libation or too...happy bank holiday peeps. Its only money 💰

Trump tariff nonsense wiped 4-5% off mid morning gains on most of mine too....deep joy....mind you it usually rebounds with knobs-on, once his noise goes south.

Yes a classic tide rather than ride day in my book.

And yes I.a.g after some dd, I put a delta integrale II into that too while back (as many peeps seem to like to speak in cars ) ;*)

Rowaboat - I believe its not rumours stoked this yet as 1) all my stocks are up 1-2% (bit bad yesterday mind) and 2) we'd see more like 5-8% gains in a day or two if if leaks of UK govt thumbs up to Nancy Polosi types.... if you get my drift..

8.52....if it'll hold, that's psychologically a 'bye bye 8, going to 9 vibe' in investors psyche.

One percent @ 8.33 a great day so far post Dow. Hope she holds steady.

Interesting how the 'overton window' has changed on nuclear in just 7 -8 years on nuclear, post Chernobyl, Long Island, Fukushima etc.

The existential fear (of global environmental catastrophe) now seems to outway the hitherto localised fear from 80s-2000s, in general discourse with Public, Media, Govts across the world.

With China and Russia I think I'm right in having live sites only, and circa 50 or so designs on the drawing board in non-communist (or non-authoritarian more precisely) countries, the prize for the winner is globally, with first mover advantage, akin to mass-adoption of Model T FORD (1927) , Penicillin (1943), Windows (1995) etc, etc. albeit governmentally or corporate conglomerates procured, not individually, of course.

RR only needs a biggish slice of that global pie to get big export advantage especially as RR is probably one of the top ten or twenty admired brands in the world.

I'm upping my 15-20 to 20-25 for few days thereafter on POSITIVE UK announcement btw!

Surprisingly steadfast 1.5% on the early morn....

If it gets to £30, I'll sell you my 288.

Good list. My Metro Bank (spawn of satan mind and not for faint hearted) has done 231% in less than one year !!

Its up 0.4% already, 15% on month and 56% on 6 months...personally couldn't be happier on dry (no major announcement) conditions !

US credit rating sentiment seems to be receded. Might be a slightly stronger day for FTSE and RR I'm hoping, nay, trepidatiously predicting.

I sort of am Svend ;-0

Comes from my psyschology training loss e.g. aversion (e.g. we unconsciously feel more unhappy/anxious going 8.01 to say 7.99 than the ACTUAL worse outcome of 7.98 to 7.95 ) and the use of round numbers by peeps on setting stop losses which is also irrational and can cost you financially as such .

Your point about round numbers being a pre-occcupation is so apposite....its also a spectacular human trait weakness (like loss aversion) too.... as in say auctions people bid right up to a max round nuber but not over it and thus loose the item for a few quid over that round number! So on say ebay if im bidding on something that is worth, id like to snaffle, at under £10k, knowing that, i'll bid up to £10,034 - it works/wins 90% of the time and I check all the bidders who have thrown the anchor out a 9950, 9975, 9995....

The downgrade by Moody of US from AAA to AA knocked Asia a smidge. I don't expect (ceteris paribus) a pristine day for RR as such.
