TW. 10% dilution to purchase 'undervalued land.' Wonder where that is, Outer Mongolia?

Not far off my guess about the next placing. Taylor Wimpy raised 250 mill last night. Expect Gfrd will be next. Just sold TW for a profit earlier in the week should be able to buy back again at £1.45 or less soon. Just need to see what their excuse is

Bit of a topsy turvy session in USA final finishing down over 100 points. S FXPO 3 divs in 2 months! I pulled out over the latest shenanigans involving their 50% partner boss who put out a very strongly worded denial about the latest allegations of the authorisation for his arrest, having only just had a court restriction on his holding in the company lifted. Something about embezzlement and fraud of a bank he was involved with. Ukraine have a president who was a comedian just before his election. Not as funny as Trump though. The sp could be worth another 30% but the risk is high not only in the price of ore but clearly this situation is not going away anytime soon. Shame its been a fantastic ride.

I think its battle fatigue! Not a clue where its going. The few stock I hold now are fairly defensive and no debt accept SSPG which has rather a lot. That was my 1 trade out of boredom and it went down! Actually to be fair I noticed cautious HSBC increased their stake again yesterday evening.

The dullest day on the markets since the dawn of time. Probably the least movement since before lockdown anyway. What have we learned today? Dont trade out of boredom. What figures out tomorrow T?

Not a very convincing open 15 up on the Dow. Normally it hits the ground steaming one way or other. Guess they are board too or perhaps just bored

V I agree. They must have other ways of selling tickets than airports which is the only place I've seen them. And not one ticket have I ever seen purchased. They claim to have given 32 million pounds worth of cars away since 1999, so thats about an average of just under 1.4 million a year. Just the airport spots must cost a bit. To park your car in airport car park costs about 5k a year. Dont blame them putting it up for sale.

Apparently the Dow is 'reversing higher betting on a V shaped recovery' or ^ depending which way up the v is.

Good trade M. One of the best long term performers on Stockopedia. Personally I do not understand. Have people not tasted real Italian pizza? Its a different species. But hey what a business. Anyone in BOTB? Seem to holding some kind of dutch action now. Already quadrupled in a month. I think they sell raffle tickets at airports for super cars that you are never going to be able to drive properly in this country.

S. Just seen a message on Stockopedia from a guy living and working in China. He had to cancel a business meeting in Beijing due to new outbreaks. Says they are calm but concerned. It could be good news that authorities are taking quick action this time but the concern for an already stuttering restart to the economy is not helped by staff being quarantined even if we do have to learn to live with the virus. Forget FOMO take what you can get! GL

Whoops didn't see you guys standing over there. Does it really take me ten minutes to do a post. Well it does when it keeps disappearing

Morning Brigadevians. Looks like another buying opportunity this morning. Isn't every morning of sorts? Dow futures mild pull back but that can change by the time Tweeting Trump gets twittering, or should that be tittering Trump gets tweeting if he hasn't inadvertently banned himself by another act of brash senility. Will be eying SSPG again this morning. HSBC seem to have a taste for this (pardon the pun) buying again according to Rns yesterday evening. Uppercrust and various other eateries in airports and stations. Any weakness (under 270) from its slight recovery yesterday and I'm back in. Similarly Autotrader (540ish) could be a good play as someone mentioned yesterday. Get involved in the resurgence of pent up second hand car purchases without going near a car or dealership. Any other ideas for the playground today? Come on you're late on parade!

I think thats right S. Or they can only do a negotiated order . Same thing happens on iWeb. Well I dont trust the market as far as I could kick it. So dumped most of the stocks I bought today and yesterday about (10) all going up between 3 and 10% which is a nice little earner for the week. Hope I dont lose it all by Friday!

Another day another argument. I thought Wally had retired. Maybe he has unfinished business: "The people working at British Airways are indeed passionate about the company and want it to succeed.
"I genuinely believe they want to help but they have been betrayed by their trade union leaders and their elected representatives who have refused to engage in consultations from the outset.
"The truth is, indeed, rarely pure and never simple. British Airways is mired in the deepest crisis the company has ever faced and is acting in a perfectly lawful manner.
"British Airways is fighting for its survival, in the face of overwhelming and unprecedented challenges, while respecting the fundamental British value of the rule of law.
The politics of flying. I think is pretty clear that in a desperate situation Mr Walsh rightly or wrongly is seizing the moment.
I think of the two EZJ seem more focused on getting up and running. I am surprised how cheap their flights are. Just about every flight to Greece is full or nearly full for July. Not quite sure what its going to be like when you get there though. At least their is some sanity about the 2 metre rule now. The idea that leaving the middle seat out would make the slightest difference to passengers locked in a flying pressurised capsule seems about as naive as most of the PM's ideas on handling Covid. Nearly as naive as the CO of EZJ telling us that with a mask it will be 100% safe. The idea of being stuck ill in Greece is not top of my agenda, but I fully understand the younger generation just bursting to get out there as I did in 1972 when there was one toilet and one shower for the 300 or so of us sleeping on the beeches of Mykinos and a sign saying no clothed people welcome here, and nakedness was an arrestable and custodial offence! I've always fancied a trip to the Faroe Isles, part of my nordic heritage. Unfortunately I dont think they are ready for tourist yet and with my first very tolerable dip in the sea yesterday I can't see the pleasure and hassle in travel just yet. looking forward to to the fickle games of the market today, which I seem to be becoming more resigned to . GL

The markets very sector orientated, almost regardless of individual financial circumstances, and I think there are still very good buys even if this elusive crash actually materialises. Some stock look practically at crash price now. Interesting announcement from BP, not so much the hit they are writing down, I mean loosing a million a day doesn't really shout invest in me, but the cut back in exploration suggests they are pretty worried. This is very positive for the future of the climate and very different to Shell's claim earlier this year that oil usage would not peak till 2035. If not an outright lie it was certainly worryingly inaccurate for such an organisation. The implications of their decline do have some negative economic consequences and there will be a difficult rebalancing of economies as a result compounding all the other issues we are facing. We will adjust and our new B of E governor has stated they are ready and waiting to assist. I think that time is now upon us. Anyone care to predict which company will be next to announce a placing? I'll go for Galliford Try I think.

There will be weeks like this. I hope everyone has been ok. Bit of a dead cat today. Yet another placing from a stock I bought back March, Air Partner. While everybody was getting out of airlines I though stupidly this was a really bad move. Tiny business chartering planes for cargo, private jets and the like. So they've been busy rescuing the big airlines stranded passengers and ferrying the great and not so good around during lock down and they also have a training company that they acquired just before Christmas. The great thing about them is they own no planes themselves so they can be very flexible and pass on all costs to their travellers. Whichever way things go with the airlines they seem to be in a bit of a win win situation making record turnover in recent months. Other than that its been fairly ****! Have a good week end all.

Excellent work T. Thanks for your tremendously worthwhile input into what are now very key moments in the future of our economies and our lives. I suppose the T&T system is way beyond the capability or understanding for Trump to implement. They just wanted to go the gung ho route and are now paying heavily for it. No doubt we will see some effects from protest gatherings here to follow. I know we had a bit of an embarrassing start with the system, but it worked well for south korea and it should prove indispensable in a safer unlocking here. A few minutes from close and teetering on 6.9% down. Trump will of course use every trick in the book to maximise impact of pullback/stimulus explosion I'm sure. Probably saving that for next week. Hope you can relax a bit now and thanks again for your research and detection. See you tomorrow same place sometime.

Trump tweet "The fed are often wrong. We'll have a very good third & fourth quarter and a best ever 2021' Well he is on a campaign trail again. A bit like when he said 'it was a good day for George Floyd, ' the day he was killed by a cop. The most terrifying thing about this is Americans will re-elect him. Not quite as optimistic about a bounce tomorrow T. Dow down currently over 4%But who knows

just read some not very good news stateside . Powell says there maybe millions without a job to go back to. Many comments saying they are still in the first wave of virus which is accelerating. 550 drop forecast for Dow. India which superseded China as the worlds number 1 manufacturing base is also in a pretty bad way with hospitals on the brink. Amazed there has been no disclosure from FXPO about their re-elected wanted director/majority holder. I found out by chance reading about the virus and the IMF thinking about a second loan to Ukraine. I take your point about dodgy, but there's dodgy and then there's Russian dodgy!

Zhevago up for arrest again and seizure of assets. What with rising virus count in Ukraine and falling ore price, just not worth the risk. Nowhere to hide is there!
