Wrong BB....... DT

Results all done, back to Corona virus, SP guessing (down over 4.5% atm) anything topical and Brexit. :-))

Always seems a race on results day to be the first on the BB, has anyone actually read the RNS?
Give it a while and we'll get some original comments.
It's not like you'll be able to trade this on the results (not that many do) the analyst will have poured over them just watch the opening.

It pays to have more than one trading platform, providing you have enough monies to service them.
On more than one occasion I have changed platforms to make a trade, at that time. If it's a long term investment then probably not so important.
They all have their problems, especially when you need em.

"Who was chastised for their long winded replies by the Speaker TFE, remind me please"
If you watch it again JR you'll see his request was addressed to both of them.
With the so called questions being so long-winded what did he expect, Starmer trying to steal the limelight, he's thinks he's still in court.
The speaker was just being polite, something that you'll never be.

To my detriment I'm a holder here but very rarely venture on to this BB.
Just scanning the posts and I spotted topsharepicks..... Doh!
I only looked because of some movement this week, guess I probably won't bother again.
However, GL to all genuine investors here.

Ranger4, I know everyone is in the s.hi.te, but I expect the Euro to weaken not just against the pound but most major currencies.
In fact given enough time it will probably disappear completely.
This could be the catalyst that starts the fall, on second thoughts it was doomed to failure from the outset.

Oxo, I would think that most on here would support yours and others efforts regarding the dividend including myself (i have lost nearly £2,400 by this action).
However apart from writing to various people/bodies as has been mentioned on here, unfortunately the decision has been implemented and I'm resigned to that fact.
I have moved on but I admire your tenacity in this matter.

Recommend you start off with MMA before you tackle tig Suzy.
Just saying. :-))

Being reported these figures are dire, worst in recorded history, doom etc etc.
WTF do they expect with everything closed and most of the country at home. It's only a survey, if you're asked a series of questions about how your business is doing chances are that its doing ****e atm, they do love a story but only the headlines.

Theosus, volatility, love these short term trade's especially when you get it right.

Barclays, under 9p old money, good ol' Questor.

A very poor show indeed A1.
Every time the speaker called him for the next question he was like a rabbit in the headlights, looking at his script and probably thinking how come Rab answered the last one, oh I better ask another one then.
That's politics Kier, you better learn fast or you'll get trampled on. This ain't pre prepared statements you are the leader so lead.
He's frightened he'll say something wrong, he's too guarded.

Agreed #Labourisdead.

Andrew Bailey, all of a sudden he's a health expert now.
He should stick to what he knows, btw what does he know?
I'm not too impressed with his past record.

ONS figures 1.5%.

The German ZEW current conditions plummets to minus 92.5.
However the ZEW economic sentiment confounds the forecast and shoots up from minus 49.5 to plus 28.2.
What does this tell you, well, I guess everyone is pi**ed off right now but in 6 months we're all gonna be laughing.
Optimistic bunch them deutsche.
They wouldn't be if the EU somehow got around the veto and stared issuing Corona bonds.

jl5006, they're taking a leaf from US insurers, they've been giving refunds for weeks.
Whilst its true that for some life goes on as normal, but for the majority people are not using their vehicles before CV-19.
Surprised a UK company has took this up, unusual over here, everyone gets a refund, 'every little helps.'
Wonder how many will follow, don't hold your breath.

Other UK insurers under pressure to follow as they are likely to receive fewer claims.
The group, Britain’s biggest car insurer, said it would return £110m to its policyholders – a £25 refund for each car and van it covered as of 20 April, a total of 4.4m vehicles. The refund will automatically be credited to customers by the end of May.
This will pressure other companies to follow suit, as insurers reap the benefit of reduced accident and breakdown claims under the lockdown. Some industry estimates suggest insurers could save up to £1bn as a result this year.

"IT's just a speculators quirk." Then why have you been sensationalising it all day? (don't think that is an actual word):-)
This all started when you made a mistake and I questioned the source, what a waste of time.
Why is oil storage US specific?
Answer, it's landlocked, they can't move it easily.
Yes, oils very volatile atm, we all know the storage issue but that can change and change quickly.
It's all about the future.

Where is he?

"BRENT $17.5 should have been $27.5...........was a typo mistake."
That's why I asked for the source,

Thank you mick, that wasn't so difficult, was it. I've been mistaken many times on here and when I realized, I've apologised saves a lot of banter.
