I think it's gone red lately more because commodity prices are down as the market is expecting recessions and therefore less manufacturing.
Regs Zalenski, I'm not sure how people are blaming him or Ukraine in general for being invaded by Russia.
What I will point out is that Russian troops have been causing mass destruction in the areas they have captured and I would not think their troops will do well trying to hold or even live in such areas during the Winter months so I would think the idea, as with Russia themselves against France and German invasion is to hang on till Winter and let the weather do the work.

You'd think though that people will move down like in food people go from M&S or Tesco to Liddle and Aldi.
If that's same for clothes then Boo is best place to take advantage.

They've all taken on huge debt.
Better look would be miner er majors like Glencore, Rio etc and of course the banks as we end the low interest cycle

If people have sell targets of 500 700, 1000, 1500 etc then why should they care of the price goes their directly or in a zigzag route?
Nothing has changed with the company so what's the problems?

If an offer for 170 was rejected that should really be the floor as someone believes it is worth buying the whole company at that level.

Inflation will raise all prices and boo are cheapest.
Seems the best place to be esp as public look to find cheaper alternatives to where they usually buy

Also they took on a bunch of debt and no guarantee there won't be more share dilution.
Same with RR and all the others too but likely people will still be flying in few years time.

cheek little spike just now
I'm back in black as AC/DC would say.

Hopefully it will stay low a few months longer until I can add to my ISA as I want it cheap.
Here hasn't been and doesn't look likely to be any long term damage here at all so I'd expect a pretty quick run back up to 400ish once the war ends.
At this level the normal dividends are delicious but I'd still like them to take some money and invest in one or two non Ukrainian mines as Putin could easily do a Boris on his deal.

@mickey that would be great I need to buy some more.
sale season

Having the most invested doesn't make you the best investor (I'm looking at you Cathie Wood) but yeah Poly has gone phycho I think everyone Fromm Boohoo has moved over there as that is almost starting to be sensible conversation (almost)

Congrats long term holders.
I sold out a few weeks ago as was short of money and wanted to cash in on the fall of Meta and Baba.
Alway planned to buy back in asap but alas.
Shame in a way as another good small UK company being picked off before it has the chance to show it's true potential but well done anyone making a good profit as that's what the game's all about

Europe battles to secure steel following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
Higher costs loom amid disruption to imports from a major regional supplier

Buying and selling on these kind of rumours is the best way to lose money long term.
Research isn't just Facebook chat or YouTube hottest stocks that are heading to the moon

Lol last night interactive investor was showing my £15k of Aviva shares being worth zero which indeed can be a bit of a surprise to anyone not paying attention

So you are pro Scottish independence then I assume and maybe pro Cornwall independence and obviously must support n.ireland returning to the republic.

You must also agree it's fine for Scotland, Ireland Cornwall to use military force to 'protect their people'

amazing how those who go on most about being cancelled are the ones that clog up boards!
Same with 'free speech' that term is meaningless, just a phrase to throw around to get people to support something without thinking about it.

Your definition or free speech will be different to others, some will say you can say what you want except if it impedes on others. Other people will say no you can say what you want with zero consequences, incitement, liable, etc should all be allowed.
spoiler, Twitter won't be the second, it will have rules and if you put something it will get deleted or you will get at the least blocked for a period if not permanently.
Musk knows how to get the masses to support him, pretending to support random crypto is perfect eg of this but he's only buying Twitter for his benefit not for the propaganda that he's giving free speech to the world.
Twit like all other interenet companies that want to operate in certain geogs will have to abide by the rules of that country/region so whilst exciting for trump fans and those who think woke doesn't just mean anti ******, and maybe worrying for some who fear a monopoly of the main media outlets by the rich to protect their own positions as in UK with the Murdoch empire and the owners of the Ritz (Brexit going great for them) in the main this is unlikely to make much if any difference in the real world.

the warmest 7 years on record have all been since 2015 so on global warming you are talking rubbish. Just because you don't see it affect you yet doesn't mean it's not happening.
Climate Change was a term made up to replace global warming because it sounds 'less scary' and so it's easier to do nothing about it.

you need to start doing more research if you are going to try and talk about a subject rather than sticking to headlines from media outlets who want you to keep being annoyed at other people, environmentalists, asylum seekers, poor people.

I hope you take more time reseaching your stocks or you'll be ending up in the poor house yourself.

"Major stocks across Europe rebounded ahead of Tuesday's session.

The DAX jumped 1.42% or 197 points at 8:11 am CET, while the FTSE 100 and the CAC 40 gained 1.22% each."

Should mean a nice move here today

If true would make it tricky for us with no black sea access.

Hopefully he's just been on the vodka
