Another departed though who gets 3 months further wages on exiting Number 11. That what they are entitled to.

Agree Jeremy Hunt is a very good choice.

Would also have been happy to see Nadhim Zahawi.

Some cheap financials out there if it calms the markets.

Looks like a U-turn of sorts coming and hopefully more stabler and rising markets.

The assistance with energy bills is greatly welcome and has helped cut my monthly direct debit. Same with Tax cuts to stimulate growth. Things though like doing away with stamp duty and other fringe measures are a waste of time and money.

Never anything wrong with buybacks and if they get more for the employees when the stock is cheap then that is a good thing.

Pound has also been regaining strength so that might be behind the Director buy.

Fortunately markets seem to have moved on whilst the baying press pack recycling haven't yet.

Indeed HH and don't forget that 25% of the company has already succumbed into different hands.

Just have to let due process work itself through.

Think you might be right Reppyrr.

With and hour to go the Dow is nearly 900 points up.

I'll be very surprised if its not a very blue day tomorrow and most shares you would think should gap up in the morning.

For once a succession of good results delivered into a recovering market.

Not just the excellent update from EZJ today. IAG also giving a very nice update. The penny may eventually drop for a few.

28th October for the scores on the doors off IAG

seems to be confirming a strong rebound across the industry at the moment.

in part, seems to be what is spurring on the markets.

Pound seems to be well up against the Dollar and the Euro
Markets seem to have to turned quickly blue.

Surprised you can still buy at under £3.00.

Seems to be recovering a lot faster than the market is presently giving it credit for.

These are excellent results.

Should hopefully replicate at TUI, IAG, Ryanair and Wizz also on their next updates.

Travel industry stocks are looking dirt cheap for the recovery taking place right before everyones eyes.

Including profitability on Easyjet holidays and excellent load factors imo. Link is there for everyone to read and digest for themselves.

Read commentary yesterday on banks having effectively being stress tested to the eyeballs and that accordingly the falls seem overdone. Very rare in life that banks and building societies will have been afforded the ability to double and treble the rates they are charging on fixed rate mortgages without any real challenge. It all ultimately will translate into profit margins, banker bonuses and dividends.

Takeover bid is a distinct possibility after todays update.

Good growth figures again and the fx headwinds referred to are applicable when exchanging dollar revenues into £ notes where DARK is registered and listed.

The converse of this though is that it isn't a headwind if you report your results in $$$'s and the strength of the dollar makes any bids for Uk companies by say American companiest etc all the more appealing.

Not urging anyone to take any money off the table at over $90 for a barrel of oil. Reason being given in the press for todays fall

"Tullow Oil plunged 6.6 per cent, or 2.72p, to 38.38p after broker Jefferies lowered its rating to ‘hold’ from ‘buy’ and cut the target price to 48p from 77p."

Super update and also indicative that increasing demand is there from those who use the cardboard boxes and other cardboard packaging to convey goods from A to B. Thinking of some online retailers but also those involved in delivering.
