Spoke too soon, its just gone negative.

Markets tanking and they tick BEM higher lol.
Cost of money rising and Beowulf's coffers are emptying....go figure.

Reading this BB this morning I now know exactly what herd mentality is.
If you're an investor then you're going to make money with markets tanking. I'm presuming all the moans here are from investors who have no liquid assets. You've had your profits, if you didn't take them it's your own fault.
You have no control over the government or markets, I've never seen so much concern for our wonderful country.
I'm loving it, clearly some are in distress and are blaming the government.
All European and Asian markets are negative, not to mention the US, but it's all the UK's fault.
Trouble is most private investors just can't bring themselves to sell at a loss. If it's as bad as you lemmings say it is, then sell, but no you'll just watch and moan.
Don't forget it's all about the money, I'm loving it.

"And Truss, like anyone in power, is sitting there believing that she is right"
Why do you worship sturgeon then Gazzleberry?
Why not comment on the Scottish situation?

What is Scotland doing about this so called 'cost of living crisis' Gazzleberry?
John Swinney said he will delay his emergency budget another month, not such an emergency then.
But hey, 'that’s until you realise this new timetable allows the SNP to hold their conference on the 8-10th October without being overshadowed by tough spending announcements and cuts.'
Save the snide comments for your own country Gazzleberry, your views are irrelevant here.

"The Labour MP Rupa Huq attacks the chancellor for sounding white!"
Absolutely right to mention this MVarawa, especially with all the lefty twats on here.
The Labour party just hasn't changed. It's all just an illusion bubbling under the surface it's the same old sh itty organisation.
All those idiots giving hindsight Starmer a standing ovation were the same idiots giving Corbyn a standing ovation 3 years ago.
Says it all really.

You really can't see it can you Lokiloo, clearly your mind is somewhat clouded.
Some peeps are beyond redemption.

"come back Tony blair"
Porsche 1946, if that's your DOB you've gone senile.
This BB is a laugh a minute lolololololol

Yes I saw that gate, after I hit the post. :-)

As far as I'm aware the GBP/USD rate is not the policy or subject to any future objectives of the UK government.
Likewise sterling and bond interest rates.
I repeat, it is not government policy to keep the pound within a predetermined band of any currency.
Get a grip Lokiloo.

"Absolute farce of a budget. To quote the guardian"
Not exactly known for their impartiality are they Property1.

"Enjoy our time at the G7 table while it lasts."
Something Scotland could never aspire to, p r a t t.

I'm loving it, plenty of ammo left for future purchases, and I'm not just talking Lloyds here.
Why the negatives it's not as if you never had any warning.
Still down the juicer, it's buzzing this afternoon.
Crisis, what crisis lol, weekends here, cheers all.

This additional capital is not for any specific acquisition that would be beneficial to the company.
Even with the heavily discounted price, invariably on these occasions, given time, the post RI SP of the company often drops to the issue price.
If that happens and you believe in AML's future, then around that time you might want to start investing.

I am a former holder of AML.
Just saying.

Brix, this £2500 figure replaces the projective figure of £3549. It's not a panacea, its a typical household's energy bill which is currently £1971.
the key word is 'typical', if you use more than typical yes you will pay more.

Main points.....
Price of Energy

Government freezes household energy bills at £2,500
Government will subsidise wholesale energy prices for businesses
Total cost of energy package for 6 months from October will be approximately £60 billion
Inflation.

Government plan will reduce peak inflation by 5%
Chancellor: Bank of England independence is “sacrosanct”

Growth

Government will focus on growth target of 2.5%
Barriers to Enterprise

Government will bring forward bill to unpick regulation and launch a review into decision making
Increase disposal of government land to build more homes
Government will remove cap on bankers’ bonuses.

Strikes

Government will impose minimum service levels on striking industries
Will legislate for any pay offers be put to a member vote
Investment zones

Growth needs to be targeted to individual areas, so government is introducing investment zones.
Zones will have reduced business rates and planning regulation.

Tax

Tax is “central to solving the riddle of growth”
Planned rise in corporation tax is cancelled, it will remain at 19%
Annual investment allowance will not fall to £200,000 as planned, will remain at £1 million
“we need to embed tax simplification into the heart of government”
Office of tax simplification abolished, tax simplification mandated in all government departments
IR35 rules changed: 2017 and 2021 reforms scrapped
Planned increases in duty for beer, wine and spirits cancelled
VAT free shopping for overseas visitors
Increases to National Insurance contributions cancelled
Stamp duty threshold raised from £125,000 to £250,000; for first time buyers it will rise from £300,000 to 425,000.
Kwasi will abolish the highest 45% rate of income tax. Top rate now 40%.
Basic rate of income tax cut to 19% from April.

Enjoy it while you can, because if the next government is a Labour or Labour Lib Dem alliance you've only got yourselves to blame.
Biggest tax cuts since the 70's.
Investment is the key to growth.
I commend this budget to the BB. :-)

So that's how you find the time to moan about everything. As you say, a super hero, 'living the dream.'

All eyes on Kwasi today, he's up at 09:30.

Ignoring fees, stamp duty and dividends, if I had invested £1,000 in Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) shares at the beginning of January, I would now have £1,000.

You wouldn't have thought so a few days ago, this BB came alive, for a brief moment it was like everyone had won the lottery.
Funny old game this investment lark.

Fool.co….

"Really, Ally's Tartan Army. A lesson in mass hysteria. Lo"
it's up there with Lloyds being 80p by Christmas.
More likely comparable with the delusional aspersions of a certain Ms Sturgeon and her easily led followers taking Scotland independent.
I'm confident that Lloyds SP will reach 80p sooner than Scotland becoming an independent nation.
Dream on sucker's.

One for chips.
