My bad, was looking at the wrong info.....Mr Market isn't that cruel after all. :-)

And yet despite these fantastic results Microsoft is down..... Mr Market is a hard task master......

Invstrat - That's the idea - However it takes years and years to build the infrastructure / factories / gain the expertise etc to manufacture the goods that you had been importing - add to that a reluctance of US workers to work in factories, a policy to kick out all the "illegals" (Unemployment is at C4% in the US - the "illegals" are all employed (they don't lounge around on sofas claiming benefits) - there aren't enough "legal" people to do the jobs that are going to be openend up by kicking out the illegals - let alone new ones created by manufacturing in-house). There's a good reason electronic manufacturing ended up being carried out in China / Taiwan etc - they're better at it than the West (and cheaper). So if you bring electronic manufacturing in-house the products you make will be more expensive ------ As with most orange policies it's extremely poorly thought out and will end up an abject failure (remember he maneged to bankrupt a casino - one of his 7 bankrupcies - Absolute business genius......)

Thanks Svend. I see the orange one was bragging he'd netted $150Bn in tarriffs... What he failed to point out was that equated to Americans having to pay $150Bn more for their imported goods (possibly more as there is evidence of price gouging) - Obviously this is inflationary - something the orange idiot ran on addressing - there is mounting evidence the standard economic indicators are not giving the full / true picture on the US economy (due to companies buying excess stock to try and avoid the tarriffs eetc, etc) - There's also circumstantial evidence that the US administration is fudging the figures (last month a payroll company suggested jobs went down yet the Government suggested jobs went up (boosted by jobs in education - Which they are in the process of gutting???). All in all we are in pretty scary times - the orange idiot believes a cut in interst rates will solve all his problems - many thiink that will exacerbate them - increased inflation.... I suppose what I'm getting at is 1) don't believe all the "data" that's out there and 2) don't be surprised if the US economy starts to fail despite supposed positive economic figures. We have entered an era of disinformation in the US - and they don't give a flying Fcuk what the consequences are - so long as the Epstein files are kept from the public :-)

But will Mr Market be satisfied with "good" figures? I get the feeling Royces now has to produce exceptional results to get a serious uplift on results day... Here's hoping to 10.50ish though.

The financial advice i got off my brother in law and father in law a couple of years ago (who are both accountants) was to put my money in a high interest account and be thankfull for the 5% return..... I decided to ignore the advice and invest in royces.....

Firstly - Apologies to the rest of the board..... Hi Svend. I've sent you a couple of messages on ADVFN - I know you don't check it often so thought I'd ping you on here.

I think someone pointed out that they'd been overpaying on the buybacks - ie buying more than they needed to in order to spend the committed amount in a year - They've obviously decided to give themselves a payment holiday :-)

Not sure about the oil and glitter Badlands.....I'm a little bit stuck insofar I've got a fair bit invested in RR which isn't in an ISA.... so a big sell off means a big CGT bill. I've moved some money across to some other investments (which will cost me a few quid in CGT next year) but moving the whole lot across just isn't feasable... I'm hoping for 12 - 13 by the end of the year (big orders, SMR orders and some sort of announcement RE Narrow Body - plus some leftfield thing about Hydrogen???). I think I'll bit the bullet and sell a sizeable chunk when it gets to 12 - and then watch it race to 15......

How long has the process taken? It took me a year to transfer a pension my dad left me into a sipp.... I was utterly gobsmacked at the sheer incompetence....

Thumbs up and smiley face emoji :-)

Just did a (very small) amount of research RE I dia and smr technology... looks like they have an ambitious programme and are looking to build upto 5 smrs by 2033... unfortunately they'll be building them in-house with some help from France and the US..... I'm sure Tufan is pushing RR's ability in this area. They have ambitions to build upto 50 in the near future - would be an amazing client for RR to have.

Read manlord or ageos posts on the eee board. They both know the company inside out and post incredibly informative posts. Most of the other members on the eee board are sycophants (with the odd exception - our very own dusty posts some good info on eee).

Good spot sparky. Did a little digging and this is 2 days old news so will already be priced in?

Was Thursday mornings blip a reaction to a supposed deal between China and airbus? Nothing else on the radar fits. Is the China deal off or just pushed back?

Clued, cev will only go off topic if he gets to mention his tax status, his holidays or EEE....

Cev, this is the post where your comments are most warranted.

If you actually read his post Cev (before jumping in and belittling him) "my broker shows RR closing the day at 498p per share. Anyone else have this" you'll see it was an innocent question about an observation. There was a perceptible acceptance that the 498 was an eronious figure - the point of the post was simply highlighting an inaccuracy. Yet Cev rides in (yet again) to belittle and ridicule - no panic ensued. It was just a harmless post about an observation.

Don't worry about Cev Norse. His first rule of thumb is to belittle. I can't imagine anyone "panicked" on the back of your observation. I know it's been explained a few times on here but I still can't get my head around how the mighty google is unable to offer an accurate close price on a daily basis.....

I'm not on the EEE board much and am not privy to the abuse you've copped in the past. You seem to speak sense whenever i read one of your comments. Such a shame that a hard-core have decided to deride you at first sight rather than take your comments at face value. I like to think the RR board is a fair bit kinder - there are still those that will attempt to take umbrage at the slightest mistake but in general it seems a convivial board.
