The Kremlin has confirmed President Putin will meet China's top diplomat Wang Yi later on Wednesday in Moscow.

Looks like Putin will be given his orders for Friday.

hopefully it's just people wary of what Putin would say.
Seems nothing new, he said they'll only test nuclear weapons if US do so that seems less aggressive then usual.
No specifics, not even threats, I wonder if it's to do with Qin Gang, Chinese Foreign Minister saying "China is deeply worried about the continuous escalation of the conflict and possibility of the situation spiraling out of control,"

Seem to be looking to move Russia towards a resolution, we shall see what their peace idea is on Friday, until then I guess it's a waiting game but at least past what could have been a bump.

good chat lads but coming back to reality, the reason everything is in USD is because of the 100% faith the rest of the world has that it is a stable currency and debt in USD is as good as guaranteed.

Until countries trust the Chinese government debt, Indian government debt, Brazilian government debt even European debt is safer then US treasuries this is just fantasy talk.

Perfect case in point the HKD is pegged to the USD for 'financial stability' and people here are talking about the Yuan taking over from the USD!?!
Maybe too much time spent on telegram

Well real offer or not, this should send this stock north tomorrow I'm thinking

Ade, good job we're holding not trading then :)

don't call me Shirley

New World Order?
Wasn't' that Hulk Hogan, Scot Hall and Kevin Nash?

Good old days, doesn't sound so bad now

Conor Mcgregor might have talked more sense

I think we may be getting way ahead of ourselves here whilst HKD is still pegged to USD and no rumblings let alone 'real' talk about unpegging it.

Until that time the Yuan being even close to becoming the reserve currency isn't even a possibility imo.

Mjc that's an excellent well articulated point,
I think this article may be about you

Looks from this that the next sanctions shouldn't affect Poly lest someone spots otherwise?

steal of the century can only really be answered in hindsight. If our shares get nicked it'll be a nice steal for someone!
Alternatively if Putin calls it a day and says he's achieved his objective then it will be a steal for anyone buying in the last 8 months

I guess the difference is because the Russian shareholders know their shares are safe whatever happens here, if it stays on LSE or not has not affect on them so makes sense they would be priced much more 'reasonably' as much less risk and uncertainty.

It's not just Crimea, as Chippy says he wanted all Ukraine, the same way he has Belarus and also why he has rebel regions established in Modovia and Georgia so they can be brought under his control as puppet states. Harder to hold Modovia without Ukraine though.

John your point about Crimea being given to Ukraine makes less sense given it was Russia's decision to give it to them.

"On 19 February 1954, the oblast was transferred from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR jurisdiction,[3] on the basis of "the integral character of the economy, the territorial proximity and the close economic and cultural ties between the Crimea Province and the Ukrainian SSR"[4] and to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Ukraine's union with Russia."

This is just like the top tory boys looking at an old map of the British empire and wanting to take some of it back.
Only difference is Putin is playing out his fantasy of regaining a lost 'empire' ignoring that the world has moved on.

* I'd put in some that I COULD afford to lose

that's if it doesn't end up delisting :)
If I had nothing in here I'd put in some that I could afford not lose as you can only lose 100% (don't use leverage!!) but the upside could be 4 or 5 multiples just to get near the old trading price.
There is so much going on though that has nothing to do with the company but affect it greatly so unlike the poster the other day who has put his hopes on this, I would definitely not recommend yoloing in unless you are young and have lots of time to make up the loss.

If Trump gets in he'll probably switch sides to his master Putin.

The only reason Russia invaded Ukraine was a) They didn't like their puppet government overthrown b) they thought with the conning common people through Trump, Brexit, etc they they'd destabilised the west enough that it would not show a common front but stay divided. c) They believed their own propaganda that both Russia had a military capable of fighting in the 21st century and that Ukraine would welcome them in/couldn't stop them.

Everything else is just conversation, the sooner Putin calls it a day the better for us here with Poly and the rest of the world including Russia

not another blue

After this morning's excitement (and yesterday's offmarket trades) it seems likely those who felt the need to sell out have done so.
Whilst there is the possibility of other grey swan events I can't help but think this will rise over at least the next month of two and little things like going back on SETS platform could give a boost.
Blue can huff and puff but he can't blow the stock down.
