If I was drinking I'd raise a toast to that buddy
Here thor, amigo and G3E for me so it's a sit and hold game for me, Not that I could sell g3e yet :)

Crap lol
Been sat here applying to all the house renovation tv shows lol
All I need now if Amigo at £1 :)

Sorry Lemon :)
I'd certainly take a 5 bag day but can't see it myself

Well I'm certainly going to sleep better tonight knowing we have our very own Amigo Armed Forces division
I'll be making our demands to the FCA in the morning and it's them that better get their tin hats out :)

Let me get this right if I may
I was away last week but got the feeling everyone was expecting a national lock-down and you think the market will still drop 50% or just Vela ?

Yep
https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about_us/news_landing_page/nhs-spending-on-diabetes-to-reach-169-billion-by-2035
3.8 million people in UK have diabetes, but how will this change ? When I was working with the NHS on health and wellbeing 50% of NHS staff were overweight and half of those were morbidly obese
Believe me I'm not knocking the NHS but if healthcare professionals struggle what hope have the rest of us got?

Hey GCN
Totally agree with you regarding reviews and we just need FCA to make the right decision for both parties. I particularly enjoyed the one that said she'd been accused of fraud. Lets hope the genuine ones are dealt with but lets also hope the chancres and also dealt with along with those helping them claim for a cut :)
Re COVID stocks, I'd say VELA aren't overly exposed as they also have other investments including an exciting fintech one with more investments to come and they are debt free which isn't something you hear much these days
Tradeuk, I did see that buddy and to be honest, while I was reading them puppy puddle came to mind. But surely a paid deramper should actually use intelligence to deramp. Maybe they refused his claim :)
Blue- Love your style buddy and fingers crossed good old GJ can give us good news soon

In that case he should go with THOR :)
Only because I'm in there and it would shoot up lol
On a more serious note, I'm happy with thor as it looks like they have found a large gold seam in Australia

Covid and Fintech
Not too shabby in this climate :) and that's not including whatever s next
Any guesses on next target type ?

At least lock-down will help me loose the 2 stone i've put on since restaurants opened again and a holiday. Thank god we went last week
I was obviously eating out to help out :)

Blue
I think you phone is telling tails on you
It assumed you wanted to say pint not punt :)

Honestly, I really don't know
If I wasn't already in and knew what I know I'd be buying not selling at these prices
These are the same as when 1% was been off loaded every day by JB and the company is more stable now !
As my old dad would of said "it's beggars belief"

Hey all
Woke up at silly o'clock this morning and with dark mornings got a little bored so thought I'd have a look at Trust Pilot
To be honest I wish I hadn't as it's made my blood boil
If you look at all the 1 star posts over the last few months it all. "Amigo shouldn't of given us a loan as we couldn't afford it ", "Amigo loans aren't responding to my claim and ignoring me" "Amigo loans accused me of fraud" (I liked this one) "I'm working 3 jobs and struggling paying my and loan and sending money back to my family) WTF. Etc etc It is relentless with people being the victim because they aren't getting the money and they are obviously due it because Martin Fing Lewis said so
I then took a look at the 1 star posts earlier this year and they are "stay away, they promise money in your bank in 24/48 hours and this didn't happen" " We were refused a loan after giving them our wage slips" and my favorite was "My guarantor sent them his bank statements and they have said no because he spends to much money at bargain booze) Basically very few claiming affordability issues if any
Have Amigo made a mistakes ? Yep, haven't all companies ? Are some people valid claimants ? most likely as some people aren't actually intelligent enough to figure out things for themselves like "can I afford to pay a loan back" or find themselves in desperate situations where sensible decisions aren't on the cards. I do think lenders need to have a level of responsibility.
The point I'm finally getting to is surly to god any halfwit investigating this will see what is really going and look to get things sorted. Even with all the recent issues there is still a 5 star of 83%
Reading these did make my angry but also gives me confidence the FCA will see it for what it is and will work with Amigo get this put to bed now. As I've said before, if Amigo loans are good enough for key workers they are good enough for everyone else and there will be so many people that will need a little help right now. I'm sure Amigo will also make sure their lending criteria reflects current situation to protect themselves and lenders.
Not sure if we will hear anything before half year results but it would be nice to get Vreg positive news and confirmation of lending prior to half year as an ok half year RNS with a little about the next 6 months regards focus (Which I think will be ok) would really re-establish us as an attractive option to the II's and settle sp to a more stable , sensible price.
GLA all this week. I hope you all earn a few quid "WHAT" I'll be seeing you.
Only a few will get that :)

Hey Mark
I'm sure there will be more holidays announced but that wouldn't include new loans and so far Amigo's done ok with collections this year. Like I said before I'd expect the main lenders to really pull back on lending as they did in 2008/9 forcing those which would normally get a high street loan to the likes of Amigo
Surely at some point GJ has to say "if our loans are good enough for key workers they are good enough for everyone"
Puppy puddle- I LOVE YOU XXXX Do you think we could meet up? I have a lovely little Rottie that i'm sure would love to make Rotyoddles with you. I assume you are a female dog and single, as been on here purely to try and upset others must be the work of a single puppy with no one to play with :(

Hey craigy
I really hope you are right and a vaccine is the answer to getting back to normal (ish) although even if we get one by spring it will take some time to get sorted
Although I've read there are several mutated strains already like the flu has so think it'll be with us for a while if not for good, Maybe the first vaccine buys us the time we need to find treatments and start work on others. But I expect all current vaccines are based on initial virus data and assume further ones would need to go back to trials. I'm no scientist but don't think a vaccine can be tweaked and used without this
Re my shares I'm expecting a shocker so anything that isn't red will feel like a bonus :)

Breaking news - England wide lock-down for a month
Mark, you got a spare tin hat ?

yep :)
Big win and then a nice tight low scoring game will do

HH
I think my best suggestion would be to use private sector more, Maybe hand over more cases
I was speaking to BMI a few weeks ago and private sector are now offering services at cost during COVID. During the last lockdown they were taking COVID cases in some parts of the UK but in others their ICU wards were empty while the local NHS hospitals were at breaking point. I know a lot of ophthalmology cases has been transferred tp Private in the Lincoln area.

Sounds Risky
Someone forgot tell BoJo the clocks changed last weekend

HH
How does the NHS treat COVID the flu and keep up to date with their day job ?
I don't have the answers :(
