The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
“Sunak / Hunt could has reduced the tax take on fuel. As many on here suggested, bringing down the inflation.”
The government reduced fuel tax rates for 12 months from march 2022. It may be still in force.
There have been no fuel duty increases since the conservatives have been in power. In real terms fuel (petrol/diesel) prices have reduced.
That will change when/if labour get elected.
Do I detect an improvement in the SP leading up to the 24th?
No explosion of volumes but with only some 140 odd million issued it doesn't take much to move this.
I reinvested at 114p some months ago and could have made that work better with the swings here.
But this investment lark is full of could haves.
Just saying.
"Investors turned more bullish in December, buying stocks and reducing cash holdings on expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve has finished raising interest rates and the global economy will avoid a deep recession, BofA's fund manager survey on Tuesday showed.
Investors are at their most overweight equities relative to cash since January 2022, according to a survey of 219 participants with $611 billion of asssets under management.
They are still overweight cash, but at their least overweight since April 2021, and their most overweight on equities since February 2022, the survey showed."
I guess it depends on what you perceive as overweight.
You can't be ‘fully’ invested all of the time unless you're not active with your investment choices.
“About 15% of world shipping traffic transits via the Suez Canal, the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia.”
“Ample oil supply limited price gains on Monday. Brent and U.S. crude remain in contango, a structure in which oil for prompt delivery trades at a discount to crude for delivery later, suggesting a well supplied physical market.”

Blinkered or what.
So many false facts from the disgruntled.
I hope your investment skills are better than your words of wisdom shown here. Alas, with all that negativity I doubt it.
Post away, but without links to your source it's all just bluster, and for the rest of us a bit of hilarity now and again.
Sedaka, you should listen to yourself….
December 4th.
“there will be no Santa Rally except possibly between 15th and 20th December which I have my doubts.”
December 13th
“the Santa Rally which I indicated could possibly be between the 15th and 20th ,although most unlikely , will definitely NOT now Materialise”
December 14th (today)
“Santa Rally has now run its course until next year.”
It's always good to take a view and be positive about it.
The Bank of England said on Tuesday that implementing the final leg of the global Basel bank rules will increase capital requirements at UK banks by 3%, far less than for their European Union and U.S. peers.
Britain, the EU, U.S. and other countries are now finalising how they will implement the final leg of the so-called Basel III capital standards, tailoring them to local circumstances.
The BoE said it estimates the impact of the final leg of Basel on UK banks will be "low" at an average increase in Tier 1 capital of about 3.2% once fully phased in by January 2030, down from an estimated 6% increase last year as data is refined.
"This is lower than the European Banking Authority’s estimate of a Tier 1 increase of around 10% in the EU and the US agencies’ estimate of a CET 1 increase of around 16% for US firms," the BoE said.
Looking like UK banks are fully capitalised, unlike our European and US counterparts.
But I guess we all know that, well except for the usual deniers. You know who you are.
Yup, sucked it up STP.
You're just like the Scottish contingent on here, can't accept the democratic will of the people….Lacking worldly knowledge, just look around you.
We're off down the juicer, enjoy the rest of your day arguing with yourself.
Ciao
The innocence of youth
“Looking forward to a repeat of the same, in the near future.”
FAO STP.
Innocence is the quality of having no experience or knowledge of the more complex or unpleasant aspects of life.
In other words, lacking worldly knowledge.
“Labour these days are the new Conservatives MK 2 anyway”
Yeah they keep saying they won't put up taxes, that remains to be seen. But one thing for sure is, they'll introduce plenty of new ones.
Already their current spending announcements do not add up and that's not including the ones they've had to cancel.
The uninformed will soon find out the differences, too late.
Profit-loss posts.
Funny how some can remember the dates of buying a particular named share going back a decade or more. Also happy to state the profits made, even the percentage profit.
But can't remember the prices and dates of losses, only vaguely, in the interest of balance, ‘I've made some losses.’
Just an observation.
I see this rally has reared Gazzleberry’s ugly head. The man who's constantly deriding LBG, saying it's a crock of 💩 Who's previously stated on many occasions, he's not invested here as there's better places for his money. And now all of a sudden he's invested, enjoying the ride and will sell before Christmas.
Everyone's a moron and he expects you all to believe his mutterings.
When he first appeared on this BB he was in love with Sturgeon and her cronies, pumping up the SNP with every post. Yup he knows how to pick winners alright. 🤣
