I have a Dahon fold -up bike.
Flexible enough to make some folding-stuff in the next year as air transport gets going again.

(Would love a Porsche like Robert Redford's old thing in the film Spy game, though !)
Ginger beer today, the 'bots have been trading this amongst themselves. 110 next week. Expecting limpness and flaccidity tomorrow just in case the weekend brings more glum news. May get a surprise if the ftse tide is positive. GLA

Todays Tip

A thimbleful of washing up liquid half an hour before hitting ones head against a wall makes a great alternative hangover but without the cost of alcohol.

fordm: Tuna mercury can be squeezed out by simply using a garlic press. Any environmentally conscious dentist will happily buy the resulting 'pulp'.

LOL, so we had our excursion into blue land for a few minutes. Calling Time at the Nearly There Arms.

Trades have increased- maybe the sp is now due a light blue day now the flight cancellations news has been through the digester . We didn't see much above 120 for weeks due to those in the know waiting for the news to drop I guess.
Cheese on toast for lunch and a waggon wheel.GLA

Still calm-ish. Quite surprised given last time we had flight cuts the sp really lost ground over multidays. Maybe some shorts are covering/ new money arriving this week. The "Gatwick returning to profit" news may have given the airlines a little boost today. This certainly isn't a boring share like some i've held in AIM land with just a few trades a day. GLA

Some nice news. Aer Lingus and BA sustainable fuel deal in 'frisco:

Sp calmer today, so far so good.

So it perhaps wasn't the commodity prices, impending recession, int rate rises ..or the solar storm last week but..the cancelled flights and staffing issues instead. Phew!

Should take a few days to bottom then rise. At least the shorttracker appears silent. No Blue Nun today but Buckfast Leighs finest wine is looking good. Additionally, I'm disappointed at the SNP 'angels share' emissions row. I'm having an Angel Delight as a small act of rebellion as my last bottle of Glenburgie 1998 22y/o is hibernating. Nighty Night Campers

Plenty oil gas in the Ukraine esp. the east, south and a little on the western side. Quality farmland a plenty but not the main target methinks.
Maybe some U.K companies have their eyes on the potential.

Vox markets on Friday 19th:"On the downside, British Airways and Iberia owner IAG descended 5.11% after the USO union called a 10-day strike involving staff at the regional Iberia Express carrier, set to begin on 28 August and last until 6 September. EasyJet shares also fell, declining 6.29% as the low cost airline's Spanish pilots continued their strike action."
Coupled with a Covid/ Monkeypox threat due to loads of tourists rubbing up against each other..no wonder the big money has largely stayed. Mustn't forget inflation and also recession threat as background radiation. Wonder if those Ostrich Farm investment opportunities will return now ??

I'm a slow writer lol

Less than 2.35 % down as I write. Thought things would have been far worse- plus a news item telling us what the heck happened on Friday.
The sp has not been making new highs for a few days at least 121-124-ish. Now revisiting where we started fron- the fleshpots of ~109 strangely enough.

Thanks AC777. I could never get my head around basis points. so i went on investopedia:
One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent) or 0.0001 in decimal form. When the Fed/ Bof E announce their next int rate hikes (if). I'll know what they're talking about slightly more . GLA

Larangyl, Larynx, Minx, Larry... virus ! Pah ! Nothing beats a "Cannibal Solar Storm !!

Sorry retirement. Unlike your good self I can'T read the future. I take it everyone should sell now, like you did before the sp tanked. GL

Well done No1Scarlett good timing.

Maybe heading back to the 119 again as we make up a little. Funny to see us head into the 120's and kept back down. Manipulation at its best lol. Still, I think i'm on to a good thing if the ii forces have got to keep this low for themselves. We'll see.
Blue Nun and Fray Bentos by dusk if we end at 120 tomorrow. If not its John Cravens Newsround and early to bed with a Lion Bar only. Night Night Campers.

Good to see the rise we were kind of expecting. Back to the holding pattern ~118-120. Interesting jump earlier today.Just pent up demand of just the bookbuilders scooping up those weak hands/ weak 'bots who sold out yesterday (I like to think that !)
Still, I nearly crumbled and put my remaining dough into CINE !
GLA

Typical. We rise for a day or two then slapped back down to previous level. The 'bots probably sucked out any new money on top of Mondays ~2% rise. We'll probably be 1/2 % up tomorrow just to 'rebalance lol/

Another ~2% rise. Interesting at 2.35 (US market open) the sp tanked and restored its trajectory ay ~4.10. Head hurts from the Tunnocks celebration. Lambrini to restore the electrolyes lol.

I'm tentatively 'probing' the dusty shelves for a classic Lambrini in case we finish blue. A box of Tunnocks tea cakes for anything > 122.
GLA

Tiny 'probe' trades going through. Sp above 121 has confused the 'bots. Better drop it eh ? FFS

Ha! We get to early twenties and the sp goes all shy.
Bookbuild for chirpy cheap/ mates rates call it what you will.
Maybe this time...
