Okay the market can close right now please. Four of my five shares are blue and that is good enough for me!! Close the bloody markets and let me look at my blue screen for a while!!

You are correct DU. I thought the Government was being very generous but I just saw the Chancellor on the internet and it is in fact a loan he is offering.

Thanks for the explanation DU. I really appreciate the time you put into that post and I feel wiser for it. I didn't really know how shorting worked before I read your post.

I didn't read the whole report on the shorting ban but I wrongly assumed that as we are still a part of Europe the ban would also apply top the UK.

So if the Government make loads of money from this then maybe they should think about the following. They may have made a packet in tax from the current unscrupulous behaviour of the greedy rich, but they now have to give at least £330Bn to the people that are suffering. Great work once again.....Governments, who'd have one a in a civilised world?

Ol well DU, what can we do? Jaffa cakes, coffee and wait for the sun to return. Always rememebr though, we're all in this together....and that sir, is the biggest load of nonsense spoken so far!!

Now that is an RNS worthy of praise in my book. That clearly explains where JOG are and I for one am still supremely confident in JOG and its board.

Great news indeed.

Morning Dickupham, I'm wondering what you thought of the proposal to ban shorting? Are the measures going far enough or would you like to have seen more? I know that have strong views on this subject so I thought to get some insight from you if I may?

Was that meant for the SYM board Lexion?

At the end of the day, do you believe in PB and the mighty TXP? I do, 100%. I'm not going anywhere.

Trek, on the back of your last post I thought to look at the supermarket shares. They are all well down over the last three months and that surprises me. With all the shops having more customers than products to sell, or so it seems, I'm surprised that the SP of the three big chains are suffering. I guess their profits will be huge and at some point that will impact the SP of each.

If Covid-19 carries on multiplying as it has done, and T&T gets hit, then a renegotiation of timescales must be on the cards I would have thought?

Boom Boom, can the market treat the price any worse than it has already? I suppose it can, however, if the TXP was to drop a lot further then think of the opportunity that lies there for all of us. It could be one of those rare opportunities to make some seriously major money? Imagine this back in the single digits.... (horrible I know) I never wanted that to happen obviously but if the markets goes that tits up then we can all get very wealthy with a company like TXP.

We shall see what happens I guess?

Would anybody here be disappointed if TXP announced that Chinook & Royston were put on hold to allow the company to use the raised £9M to ensure that the company stays financially healthy until this crisis has blown over? It's just a thought but I wonder if getting the gas income from Coho-1 & Cascudura in and flowing before we commit to massive expenditure might not be a bad idea?

I for one wouldn't be upset if this was to happen. At least my own mind can't find anything disappointing in the long term with this kind of move.

Thoughts anybody?

Nice post Ajax.

Reported late yesterday, very nice buying.

Correction - 'that's fine if you have a job paying you whilst you are at home.'

Still off-topic....apologies.

As much as I agree with you regarding social isolation, 1750, that's fine if you have a job paying you to be at home. What about self-employed people whose jobs are in the public? Will the banks give everybody time off from their financial obligations? Probably not. I'm lucky finacially so being at home, although money coming in will halt, I will survive. I'm not a fan of Trump but cutting the taxes for businesses for a while shows that he cares about those small businesses that will struggle. Good work Mr Trump.

If the whole world doesn't 'stay at home' then what's the point?

It's going to be a rough road and a professor for the WHO predicts that due to the unseen symptoms during the incubation period, just about everybody will contract Covid-19 at some point. It's not like MERS and SARS, those diseases have very obvious symptoms for all to see (so I believe, I am not a medical person).

The biggest concern for myself is the following. In St Columb, you can't get an appointment to see a DR at the best of times. I'm sure that most posters here know that feeling with their own DR's. So if anybody thinks they have contracted Covid-19, what do they do? Wait in the reception with all the other sick people just to wait for a test?

Ol well, fate is inexorable.

Mrs Photo is off to South Africa tomorrow for 6 weeks. The attitude in SA is 'get in line Covid-19' There are so many other things that can finish you on a daily basis that Covid-19 is just another day in the life of a SAFA.

The world has gone mad, the weather has gone completely mad and yesterday I went to Wickes to get a face mask for some rubbing down of paintwork and lone behold, they were sold out. They are not medical masks that Wickes sell, they are just masks. By the way, being that everywhere is runnining out, or has run out of masks, where are the people wearing them? I haven't seen one yet? As for the panic buyers, I am smiling at the thought that in about 18 months time a lot of people will be looking at their uneaten stockpile and then binning it as it is out of date. Yes Simon, the world has gone completely mad!!

Tescos in Truro has toilet paper though.....loads of it!!

Like most on here, I am a big fan of PB, always have been. I propose that when we meet up for the £1 party we should invite PB and JS.

When you consider what has happened worldwide today, it has been a truly outstanding performance by TYM!!

What price for the party Bladderman? In all the years I've been trading I've never actually been to a party? Please don't say £1.....

Level 2 is a sea of blue. Come on TXP push now!!

Agreed Lee. Just did so....
