You won't beat the system, nothing is safe from government intervention. Reagan once quipped. “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
Not bad for a 'B' class actor, he did ok.

"The part that has conveniently been omitted is "in the event of a no deal Brexit"!
hardup.
My feeling is that as the UK becomes more integrated with non EU economies and if the current EU trading downtrend continues, (as it's projected to) there may come a time when we do actually revert to WTO with them
Especially as they try to control, manipulate and punish countries (especially the UK as we dared to leave), that don't 'toe the line.'
By that time I expect more to join us.
Just saying.

Yeah, £8 billion, it does make you wonder, but it was a direct listing so I guess that's the price, for how long is anybody's guess.

I see the money transfer company Wise PLC, came through with their direct listing today.
Wise joining the Main Market through its Direct Listing demonstrates that global tech companies can build, scale-up and go public in London.
Once again re-enforcing London's position in accomodating global tech companies asperations to go public here.
And the doomsters said London would be decimated after Brexit.

Southcb
Antigua one of our favourites, although I've never been to the St James resort, but seen it from Standfast point (near Stings new home). Looks the business, and as you say nice people.
Enjoy.

"It's really amazing cos half of the country did buy at 23p,
I am the only one who didn't. ATB"

Falkland.
I remember posting on here last year about, in the future, every man and his dog claiming how wise they were having bought @ c24p especially the doomsters.
For info, I posted on here last September that I have added a few more.
Just saying.

I've gotta put a bit of humour on this BB right now as it has degenerated somewhat into a slanging match.

A woman wakes up from a vaginal tuck, to find three bunches of flowers on her window sill….. One from her surgeon to say all went well.
One from her husband to say, get well soon and that he loved her.
And one from Tommy in the burns unit to say, thank you for the new ears.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. :-))

Why has consolidation suddenly reared its ugly head again, has Daft Trader suddenly morphed into something else?
Just asking.

Falkland, I keep saying it, who is this TEF?

290p for IAG, you've gotta cross a lot of fingers for that result falky. At least I'm showing a profit from my recent purchase.

Took a break from Lloyds for a few days, been down the juicer and now the worse for wear with a few gin and tonics up the garden, happy days but I see the same old divisions on here endure.

Burnham is not even an MP, he's a jumped up mayor of Manchester trying to establish a career after his tenure ends.

"Will we ever get away from right and left, I wonder and consign them to history"

Sadly no, at least not all the while the lefty PC keep preaching their own rhetoric as to what is correct and what is not.
This woke brigade trying to rewrite history is pisxxxg everyone off, I don't need a jumped up bunch of lefty snowflakes telling me what I can say or do.
SP now firmly entrenched in the sub 4p category, go figure.

"What kind of system is that..........Its nuts."

It's a stupid PR system that minority parties who haven't got a chance of any government involvement are clamouring for.
The results of coalition governments that proportional representation produces are often weak and indecisive, due to the different parties each trying to get their own way, and Sweden is a typical example.

He must have spotted my buy last week and thought if 'TFE' is aboard, I don't want to get left behind lol.

30k is not an arbitrary number so I guess there's some sort of formula or value that's arrived at, just always accepted it.

I was just reliving some past experiences on the AIM Lti.

I see Lti answered your query Faulkes.
I might add it's not just buying, sometimes you'll find that it may difficult to sell an amount above the market size. This can be a right pain, especially if you want to dump a large volume and have to do it in small tranches. Not only do you pay charges every time, it usually happens during a falling SP when everyone is rushing for the exit, worse still sometimes you can't even get a quote.

Never a problem with liquidity Faulkes, market size 30,000.

"it appears investors in these banks feel positive on the news?"
No surprises there hardup, I don't believe anyone was expecting anything else.

I've heard on it from a fairly reliable source that LBG will be unloading the Black horse motor finance division. Covid has extended the timeline somewhat, probably within the next 3 years.
