What? The market makers aren't here to hear Melissa slating someone's heffer wife, or Portfolio screaming from the rooftops about reporting trolls? You Sir/Madam are deluded, this is what the MMs want to see ha ha ha

Where did my green candle go? Hopefully not the way of BOO share price ... down the pan. Only the shorters having fun with this

The wife is getting our annual celebration intercourse. Its normally saved for a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary but a green candle for BOO is far rarer!! Where is my Marvin Gaye LP again....

For BOO that feels like a 5% bounce. Happy days. I'll be opening the bubbly tonight and toasting my good wife Melissa

So we can dump our bags before the next leg down to the mid-50s.

Meanwhile Trading4Good is giving it the big 'I bought at 40p' chat. Alright Pinocchio. Not to worry as you'll get your chance to fill your 40p bags very soon.

When are we going to at least see a dead cat bounce? This cat is well and truly dead and run over by the No.13 bus on the way to Lossville.

There is no end in sight for this damn misery

No I think you miss the point. BT shouldn't be in the business of sports, they should be focussing on what they do well and that is telecommunications. Any JV means that BT are going to still be involved in the business of sports. The best thing that they could've done was dump their sports bags on someone else. Turns out that obviously wasnt possible so BT are still involved in the business of sports. Happy freaking days.

Must say the news today about exclusive negotiations with Discovery doesn't fill me with confidence from a purely retail perspective as I dont know a single person that wants to watch Eurosport ever. Yeah it may have niche sports like downhill slalom in France, speed roller skating in Spain or petanque in Estonia but that isnt going to draw new users. This feels like a backward step sadly :-(

There seems a little confusion here around the buy backs.

The current daily buy backs are not from the Government. They are from the open market. That is probably why the share price has been ticking up so consistently. As soon as shares are available, NWG is buying them back as close to the last purchase they can make but it is literally millions per day.

The Government ironically along with the rest of us are owning a greater and greater share of NWG as part of these daily buy backs.

NWG need to seek approval to buy shares back only from the Government and its capped at 5%/year. With the increase in share price recently, I fully expect that to continue and expect it to be announced at the next annual results. That can only happen with Government agreement though. The Government aren't in the business of being a bank so they absolutely will be keen to see it happen as well.

NWG has excess capital that it needs to utilise and they are doing what they can to make the most of it.

I can definitely see this going higher, potentially quite a bit. The tangible net asset value is around 270p putting aside anything else.

We with the SP rise at highs not seen in a while, optically it becomes acceptable for the Gov to start selling their bags. There are two sides to the Gov shares sales, sales instigated by NWG and sales triggered by the Treasury. NWG are limited at how quickly they can instigate the share sales to 5% per annum. However Treasury can dump quicker, as seen in 2018 when Treasury dumped 7.5% in one sale around 271p.

Now that dividends are back on a solid footing (albeit relatively stingey), share buy backs in full flow and we are generating good profits again, once Treasury goes sub 50%, things will quickly start to gain momentum with SP increasing as institutions start buying again and Treasury dumping faster, classic flywheel.

I can see a very realistic target price of 320p by end of 2022.

Another 4mil shares been hovered up in the last 48 hours in buy backs. At this rate, there won't be enough to satisfy demand shortly ??

Would also say that having a quick look at the analyst views on the outstanding shares in issue, we are ahead of expectations. Possibly in part due to that retracement we saw a couple of weeks before Xmas allowing more shares to be bought at a lower price.

I'm personally a big fan of buybacks and pleased that another of my portfolio in Aviva is doing likewise.

Indeed another good day for NWG. I think the share buy backs are hoovering up any liquid shares and pushing us higher. While that appears good, as shareholders, buying shares near the 5 year high may not be the best value for us long term potentially. I'm in it for the long haul though and expect a good 2022 ahead.

Ah does that explain the rise in share price today?

Strange there wasnt an update today like the other days. I wonder if the buyback is over as I see that we've hit the analysts consensus for the end of Q4 anticipated shares in circulation following the recent retracement in price. I'm just hoping they keep hoovering them up as price seems reasonable just now and we have money burning a proverbial hole in our pocket.

Bought my first BT shares (circa 2k+ at 137p) a couple of weeks ago to start my bag with the aim of building a passive income that will cover my broadband and mobile phone costs across the year. Need to add another 3k+ to get there. Share price has pretty much been going up constantly since I bought, albeit I'm never intending on selling them so long as they continue to pay sufficient dividends to cover the £37/month!!

Since doing that I took out BT broadband and mobile sim only deals, got to support the brand. Honestly both have been absolutely seamless transition and service. As much as I saw pretty poor customer service reviews when I started my research into them, I've been incredibly surprised by the whole service to date. I'm definitely going to be recommending to all my pals.

I have my fingers crossed that BT continues to impress me as much as they have recently and with positive news about the potential sale of Sport and potential bid, things are definitely looking rosy at the moment.

Deapite this absolutely being a share that should be doing incredibly well given the climate agenda, looking over the last set of results, I have grave concerns about its ongoing viability. The last accounts clearly talk about having to fund raise again in the following 12 months. Do you think holders are going to be prepared to dip into their pockets to avoid being diluted further in the event of another rights issue?

The share price on VLS over the last 14 years is a sorry tale.

Been a long time watcher of VLS, had quite a few shares before but sold out back at 5p when I had grave concerns about the burn rate of cash they were going through. Would be interesting to hear whether people do actually think this is going anywhere out with the single digits on a permanent basis. It seems to be able to crawl out for a matter of days but falls back to single figures very quickly.

I totally agree with most that airlines need to improve their green credentials. However if there is one industry that you don't want to be relying on at the moment is the airline industry. Most of them are teetering on the brink themselves at the moment so the chances of them giving out big contracts or putting their hand in their pockets is, in my view, very unlikely.

I hope that cash isn't king. If it is, Velocys are completely goosed. The burn rate on this business is insane and we still seem to be miles and miles off generating anything that could arguably represent a profit. It's actually pretty sad because VLS seems to have quite an innovative idea. Sadly though i predict this is going to remain a very low penny stock with occasional spikes in share price until it runs out of cash and goes bust. At that point, someone will buy the idea from whatever insolvency practitioner is picking over the bones of VLS for buttons.
