Hoping for 12.80 + finish today

And this is the payback:(Sharecast News) - The Financial Conduct Authority has asked the big banks to reveal how they arrived at new overdraft rates of about 40% and to show how they will help affected customers after criticism of its rule changes. About 4000% more than their savings rates. Loan SHARKS

After an extended holiday for the lunar new year the Chinese market reopens having been closed since Jan 24th. Don't suppose it will be an easy ride again this week. Still don't know about the severity of the strain of this virus. Think we will see volatility increase, which does open some good trading positions but also much bigger risks. Still holding of here but very much looking to take a position again after just missing to close a trade Friday.

They have closed a lot of stores and it must be a relief to offload leases, but this is not good for the charity and reflects badly on M&S so I hope appropriate action is taken: A disabled children's charity founder said she is "devastated" after a Marks & Spencer error "destroyed" their plans for a community space.
The Dorset Children's Foundation (DCF) had agreed to lease the empty M&S store in Bournemouth, and were due to move in this month.
Co-founder Patsy Hallmey said she read in the local paper that it had instead been sold to a property group.
M&S has apologised and said the shop was offered for lease in error.
'Hours of work wasted'
Ms Hallmey said: "We are absolutely devastated as this has destroyed our plans for an amazing, wonderful community space for hundreds of disabled children.
"We signed the contract on 12 December 2019 and were told the keys were forthcoming. Apparently the building was sold in November but M&S didn't bother informing us."

Daringly raise target from 12.20-12.50. Smashed it already . So clever. Don't know how they do it!

Bakes sense to set up a kitchen in Europe for that side of the business. After going through Dover and French customs the food would have turned into a science project

Aircrews having to fight for the right to wear protective clothing or even masks to fly last evacuees back from China. Defies belief. You would think it would be mandatory. The Chinese have been pretty good at trying crack this virus down quickly and good old Dads army Britain will dither around like Brexit with committee meetings galore.

Quite. When will the hysteria stop? The guidance is still single digit growth and that Jumpshot will not impact (which is the only thing I find hard to believe). So the figures are no better than when the SP was £3.30 . Slightly overbought I would say as all the director sells in previous months would suggest

Typo. milder not wider!

I sold up everything on Monday. decided the risk was getting too unknown. I'm surprised markets have held this long really . Fed talk about 10% correction. Some information says Corona is wider than some flus last year . But I find the lockdowns in China a bit sinister if that is really the case. There will be bargains today and more tomorrow and the day after, its not just about timescales which I don't really believe in anymore (At least half the ftse is worth less than it was 20 years ago. The just manipulate as the really poor performers get relegated) Will be back in here I'm sure but not anytime soon. GL everybody I feel this is going to be a testing time again.

They entered into negotiations t o sell Jumpshot to ASCL t the beginning of last year. They received £30 million in August. ASCL have the option to purchase the rest of Jumpshot for up to £300 million. It s a great business deal. An apt comment on AVST on Engadget: We looked at their product a year ago and it was all aggregated and anonymised. No user-level data, no way any one person could be identified.

Just "here's how many people we estimate are on your website each month".

Yawn. One more fearmongering article trying to get clicks over nothing.

Good find Joeko. ASCL who basically run Jumpshot now see their shares drop a bit. So the thing is I've had free internet security from AVst for years. They get to sell my browsing data. I get ads related to my data. Things I might be interested in. Big deal. Its a great deal compared to paying MAcfee or Norton to slow your computer down, or in some extremes stop it working altogether. Its been public knowledge forever digital data collection. Bt used to, and probably still do sell your phone number to annoying double glazing salesman which is far more annoying. Now people are making out its some devious secret that's suddenly been exposed.

IT has been massively overbought which is entirely a different matter. Directors have consistently been offloading for a few months. Jeffries price target yesterday of £4.05 seems a bit of an over reaction but overbought gets oversold. I really think this digital data is a red herring. Its big business and as I say that is what Jumpshot does and why specialist digital company ASCL bought in around August last year with it with the option to buy the rest of Jumpshot for not more than £300 million. If it gets to £4.00 its a steal

Extraordinary reaction. They sold part of Jumpshot last August to ASCL. What does Jumpshot do? Sells Digital data it collects on clients just like virtually any other public company on the ftse. How does amazon, eBay et all get to know your shopping habits? They buy information called digital data

Hope Boris doesn't succumb to trade deal blackmail rhetoric, especially after stating there was no other choice!

Wonder if this has something to do with Jumpshot that they are offloading on ASCL. Congrats to those who got in on the flotation price. This wasn't supposed to hit £5.5 for 5 years!

Sometimes the final SP is the uncrossing trade even if other higher priced trades are placed later. I quite like the idea of markets being open 24/7. Could well reduce volatility and a lot of other nonsense. I thought the tie up wit M&S was a really bad idea but have come round to it after listing to Julian Richer of Richer Sounds who has been advising M&S for a couple of years about reinventing itself. Ocado seem very pleased too and I gather one of the cofounders of Ocado has gone off with Waitrose to set up their delivery service. Everyone happy? Hope so I think this could be the game changer for M&S just when they needed it most.

Cant quite see why Waitrose would let go of Ocado or perhaps it wasn't their choice. M&S seem a much better fit in many ways. I think the closures make sense and some of their bigger stores make much more sense. They have reinvented themselves in a relatively small space of time and hoping to be ahead of schedule opening with Ocado. How very un British!

almost a tech technically

Yes it does. But I think they are better at paranoia than us. I think I will just drip feed into this especially now it is a tech stock. Long term this looks very good.
