So UBS are tasked with buying �1billion of shares for a client and make nothing apart from the original commission?.What a idealistic world,lol.

Agree,i haven't been mugged.PHTM has been a great source of income and treat them as additional pension. Yesterdays news may have been released to suppress the already generous dividend policy?.

I cannot understand why Ukraine Gov would sanction it,as you say all positive for Moscow. What i do find annoying is the amount of opinion which comes out of the BBC,Its bad enough when they reports what the the papers say,by doing this it gives these opinions credibility. Opinions are fine on social media or if i wish to purchase a newspaper but i expects more facts from the BBC and less speculation.

Far too much speculation in the markets re Italy and the media. I could swear i woke up this morning and the top story on Britain today was reports a guy called Babchenko had been shot dead and the finger of suspicion was pointing to Putin and the Kremlin. Anyway good news he's alive,but all the previous reports of his assasination have all been deleted,nothing exists on the net,as if it didn't happen. The power of the media,lol.

SPMG,Jamesroo must be our secret Warren Buffett, achieving 25% return year in year out,even in bad years. My calculation for his statement. If he has been invested for 34 years and he started with a balance of �20,000 his current portfolio is valued at �39,443,045.26p or �20000(1+.25)34 Truly a remarkable wise investor,too good for this BB

Got another one ere.If She had taken the Norwegian route ie Statoil we could have had a nest egg of $1200 billion. https://resourcegovernance.org/blog/did-uk-miss-out-�400-billion-worth-oil-revenue Still mustn't grumble we got 2nd prize,a group of delightful islands set in the South Atlantic Ocean and MT won her election.

Haven't got a great deal of time for Thatcher. She destroyed UK manufacturing partly because she didn't like organised labour.She sold council houses without replacing them and set the standard on how �200 billion worth of oil/gas revenue was going to be lost without anything to show for it apart from loads of money characters and social upheaval. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/534505/UKCS_Tax_Table_July_2016.pd I do also think Denise Thatcher played his part with the oil carve up.

Don't think you need to be a pin ball wizard to buy 5 million shares a day with the volume that goes through Lloyds. Gate,please explain why the UBS buys fluctuate?.

Gate,if thats the case why alter the daily volume?

When i said tomorrow i didn't literally mean Wednesday.Let the dip run,could go on for a week,then buy on the rise and save investors money plus more volitility for trading-would this be bad?.

To me it seems UBS are allowing institutions to get out of Lloyds at a higher price.If they hadn't bought 32m today they could have bought more tomorrow at a better price. You can't buck the market with whats left of this buy back so let the trend be etc and buy up more AFTER the dips.

Chancer,your out of date on NAFTA.Canada is 22% french speaking and the big cities are full of people from around the world.US is even more diverse with Spanish spoken by 45 million and what is anglo saxon about Mexico,lol.

If the EU budget is piddling why are you getting so hot under the collar about it,lol.

Done me due dilligence,they don't make sandwiches. Cuddo can we start pumping this one now,lol.

Eurozone fell from 0.7% to .4% partly due to Beast from East,same storm that we had. Their growth only 4 times our's,lol.

Wids,inflation follows stimulus. You Brexiteers are so easy to wind up,whats wrong with you lot.lol

Chancer, what would you call EU grants to impoverished areas like Romania or Cornwall?.lol

Chancer,your 2nd paragraph could very much describe the United Kingdom or the United States were as you say "without fiscal transfers from rich areas to poor inevitably means areas with higher productivity over time see their wealth increase whilst other areas see their wealth stagnate". Sorry but i cannot see the Euro failing for disregard of the stability pact.

Looks that way,you either let your currency fall or improve productivity to remain competitive. Also Kern is correct inflation doesn't kick in immediately,it lags behind stimulus.

James,Merkel is quiet because it has worked out very nicely for Germany again.Like with Greece this should impact on the value of the Euro and will be allowed to run until the next turmoil comes along,prehaps brexit. Only trouble for us is Sterling with also have to fall if our metal bashers are to remain competitive with Europe.
