Monzo yet another new kid on the block. Latest losses at the digtital bank have just jumped fourfold to £33.1m.

john46. Unwanted shift in market strategy behavior which negatively effects long term share - holders, and fails to take into consideration the intrinsic value and fundamentals in a company, that could make it tough for their shares to get back to their all-time highs.

Wids " smart investors " never leave the market they simply use the opportunity of market turmoil and turbulance to ensure they have a well balanced diversified portfolio which is well positioned to protect themselves against volatility of the financial markets.

Investors need to hold their nerve, the smart ones will be staying the course of the current market turmoil and will be looking at the " bigger picture " markets may be predicting their usual doomsday scenario but i think otherwise.

Calisto. Agree although the VIX is a reliable indicator of changing market investor sentiment, it does not tell you where markets are heading, only where it is currenty at.

Asperger. Markets are just playing fast and loose with other people's money. Personal investors have the talent to make make money out of the current volatile market conditions but simply lack capital and risk.

A "pull back" correction or a prolonged "bear market" for the FTSE and DOW ?. Hard to see both indexes climbing back into to positive trading territory for the remainder of the year. However there is still money to be made in the current market conditions albeit wafer thin trading margins and profits.

Asperger1 You cant play politics with people's lives and livelihoods, yes like you quite rightly pointed out, the electorate voted for Brexit, in reality they were sold a lie and a fantasy, and now only a living hell and a catastrophe awaits the people of the UK.

Expect to to see a huge backlash unleashed against those MPs who vote down the deal resulting in a no - deal Brexit for the UK, with many of them facing deselection by their local party activists and party members.

Wids. yes you are probably correct, i have always suspected the existence of a dark shadow government and a secretive establishment who are exercising power behind the scenes and beyond the scrutiny of our democratic institutions.

Gate13Boy Politicians on all sides of the Brexit debate are not taking responsibility for their actions. Their reputations are being irreparably damaged by Brexit.

Gate13Boy Boris and JRM Yesterday's glorious Brexit libertarians, today's quitters and losers.

Apart from a handful of small Commonwealth countries which countries are " queing up for trade deals" with the UK. The UK cannot rely on WTO rules to soften the blow of a no - deal Brexit.

Troajan Agree support Theresa May's Brexit plan or its a return back to the political wilderness for both the DUP and Boris and a almost certain future led Corbyn Labour Government.

Wids. Maybe but to avoid future social, environmental and economic collapse the world needs to move beyond the choices of capitalism or socialism.

" Capitalism has run its course and we shall have to look for other ideals than the other ones that capitalism has encouraged ". Edmund Wilson.

" Never a truer word spoken ".

The - Lowdown. Lending to small businesses has not returned to levels seen before the 2008 financial crash. These days Banks are more risk averse in the current recovery cycle than they were prior to the 2008 economic recession.

mick, True Quantitive Easing money issued by the BOE to kick-start the economy was instead spent by UK banks to buy their own expensive bonds back for cancellation. The remainder of the money was eagerly gobbled up by Joe public in the form of cheap credit card lending, and mainly spent on cheap motor finance deals and expensive luxury foreign holidays.

Troajan OPEC quota cheating, North American frackers and oil sands production will keep the suppy of crude oil abundant for years to come.

Technical indicators still suggest the share price will continue to trade in range- bound mode and oscillate in a trading range of between 59.25p - 56.85p... wafer thin - margins and profits for traders to continue for sometime to come.

Asperger apology to your good self, no political point intended in your post. A misunderstanding and interpretation of your original post on my behalf. ATB
