Falky, the market could wobble -20% on bad news at anytime not just because of covid or economic related.
Russia or China could start getting trigger happy and if they do will you say I told you so?
This investment lark is always a risk, that's why the potential returns are greater. It's why we do it.
A sudden incedent anywhere could cause a correction with no warning. You can be sure PI's won't be the first to hear about it.
Just saying.

"the stock price can and will be manipulated to the companies advantage if they do their jobs properly"
So now you're suggesting that Merrill Lynch, not the BOD, are going to manipulate the SP.

I'll ask again, perhaps you could explain how they are going to do that Redceo?

I guess we've all made stupid statements on these BB's from time to time AS, but not many will admit to it.
It's so easy to say I made a mistake or explain why you posted certain things, then everyone can move on.
Sadly not many do.

"Of course I'm not suggesting RMG will do anything of the sort."

What are you suggesting then Redceo? With a statement like this?

"the stock price can and will be manipulated to the companies advantage if they do their jobs properly"

If you can't explain to me, perhaps you would explain to the BB.
Waiting in anticipation.

So, are you saying RMG's management will try and talk down the company for the next 12 months to try and manipulate the SP lower?
This is what they should be doing to do their jobs properly.

Have a rethink, pure fantasy.

"The drawback to this is that it will be in RMG's interest to keep the SP as low as possible during this period, in order to maximise the volume of shares purchased."
Can't see the relevance of that statement, unless you believe that RMG control's its own SP.

Good point SkankerMan.

The first signs in a reduction of secondhand car prices (part of the inflation equation) were seen this week at Chelmsford car auctions.
Still a semiconductor shortage but it's looking like prices have peaked.
Some dealers were disappointed with some bids over 2k short of the expected.
Just saying.

"Whatever they think, the problem for the market is in not being able to trust statements about ‘acting on inflation’. "
Exactly hardup, it's all BS rhetoric., You can't talk prices down, you either sit and wait for the 'correct' inflation (something you have a chance of controlling, i.e. not imported raw materials), or you act on it.
They'll learn :-)

The housing market needs cooling, and like I said, a 0.15 rise is FA in the scheme of thing's.

If a base rate rise of 0.15% is going to cause hardship to the great unwashed, or should I have said the masses then we're all in the s**te.
Most on here probably have no recollection of such a small percentage rise.
Surely, even a startup business could cope with that, and if you've just got a recent 'unaffordable' mortgage, live with it, we had to.

"AB has not added comment to what he has previously said"
Correct Lti, he learnt his lesson last month.

Whether the market believes there's a near 100% chance that the BoE will price in a rise in rates in December or not, who knows?
One thing that should happen this time around, is that Andrew Bailey has now had time to reflect on last month's decision making, especially the lead up to it.
Let's hope he has learnt how to moderate his comments before the event, better still, stop the misleading banter and keep his mouth shut.

"this company is at a bargin price for new investors"
Can't disagree with that Bboy.
However I was just wondering how many of the present day holders who were around at the time of the RI shenanigans, are still here, in some form or another?
By that I mean either their full holding or reduced holding since the 400p + highs seen here earlier this summer?
I'm still in here with my slightly reduced holding having sold a few. Should have sold a few more, but that's called hindsight.
It's not all bad, as still in profit even at these prices and haven't ruled out adding, as we all know how this moves when the mood takes it.

Not your fault BrJuice, just thought I'd mention it and have been reimbursed since.
Hopefully we'll all be reimbursed soon. :~)

Plenty of employees posting the merits of RMG here, of which I have no idea as to its workings.
RMG is the only carrier to-date that has lost an Amazon parcel addressed to me.
However, that didn't stop me from taking a punt here with a modest 3000 shares last week.

Waiting in anticipation, GLA.

A few months ago there were some on here exiting from equities rushing into PM's predicting the same imminent doom. To-date, they have missed out on further rises.
Nobody wants to be fully invested when this market turns, history tells us at some point it will, but who knows when and if any re-trace will be gradual or sudden? Answer no-one.
The minute you sell your thinking turns bearish, it's natural. Perhaps you have nothing invested DT.

As with any index or equity after a good rise the doomsters are to be found posting things like 'Armageddon is just around the corner.'
That also counts whether a share is at an all time high or heading south.
Blimey we've had enough of them on here, including you DT, with your 13p or 16p predictions. I'll stand corrected on that exact figure but it sure didn't reach the low you were predicting.
BTW, where's that Lloyds consolidation you kept on about, thought it was imminent?

Before covid, we had experienced the longest bull run ever (that's by time not value increase), nearly 10 years.
One whole decade, when that run started many peeps trading now had only experienced a rising market, then we all got hit with covid.
Markets, especially the US, have rebounded relatively quickly and recent valuations of IPO's only exacerbates the frequency of these types of articles.
The fact that this guy supposedly predicted the last crash doesn't gain any more credence than if you said it
yourself DT.

Who knows he may be correct, but only you could pick this type of article from the hundreds of financial 'experts' available online.

For reference -
"A bull market is broadly defined as one that rises over time without falling more than 20% from its peak during the period."

£1 = 1$
Not for those of us who intend to cross the pond next year Falky.

Good ol' Gordon, I forgave him for all his f*** ups when he kept us out of the Euro.
As for Blair who was leading the charge to adopt the Euro I'll never forgive him, so much that is happening today can be traced back to the actions he took.
The sad thing is, there are still some (even posters on here) who long for a return of someone like him.
Poor misguided delusional fools.
