Suddenly going into the red on what looks like a fairly decent stock market day is strange. If someone’s near the computer doing the algorithm on the buybacks give it a nudge and wake it up. Hang about as it’ll probably need another nudge this afternoon and we might push up towards 53p 😁
The neocon American put in place to carry out the plan starting from 2008 has just left her post in Bidens administration. Victoria Nuland, speculation did she leave of her own accord or was she pushed as it’s not working out well. You can also tell macrons bluffing because if you look closely enough you’ll likely just see George soros hand up his backside in order to move the puppet macrons lips…
Not entirely sure which is worse, cosying up to Russia or the Americans. That’s a really tough question given you’d equally not trust either of them for same reasons. To understand what’s happening in Ukraine you have to understand what happened and why it happened in 2008 and 2014 for the answers. You’ll find in doing so the events today were set up to serve American interests back then. Anyway it doesn't have much longer to run as Ukraine even with more money poured in don’t have the population numbers which is seen in the average age (43 ) in their present army. Throw in uk and French forces and we’d get slaughtered to as we’re not set up to fight wars against such enemies of that scale both by numbers and equipment and logistics. See the link below as the guy explains the situation really well and why…

Nothing odd at all. The share price is being taken down at a snails pace as they’re struggling to find sellers in numbers and at some point will run out of shares to off set the buys. As for a placing or capital raise there is no evidence to that assumption at present. If they carry on at the current snails pace they’ll run out of shares to sell or take months to get it down anywhere near 1p. The analysts views remain the same. You normally get the scaremongers on the forums trying to scare out the sellers about know so I see them as a good sign

The markets have based RR share price on perfection so good to excellent won’t hack it. The current management team have given out this indication going forwards. If results don’t show perfection expect a fall. Just being honest in my opinion as i have an investment in RR. If any geopolitical situations (of which there are quite a few) cause a more serious concern I would expect a profit take before the next leg up. FTSE100 has priced up to a 1% drop in interest rates in the UK spring (March/april). Understanding what the markets are currently pricing in shows the risk into 2024. IMO
Basically, RR share price has been priced in for perfection at next results much like the markets have priced in early interest rate cuts and a soft landing on the way out. If neither materialises then expect the markets to react accordingly. Pays to keep abreast of everything that is happening around it like any other share in your portfolio. A lot of money sitting on the sidelines still but equally a lot in just incase any early interest rate cuts cause a possible ‘reverse’ stock market crash. You could miss a big rally if interest rates are cut early with money on sides or lose some in the markets if it doesn’t materialise. Market is currently indicating greedy territory for a reason. Risk being in or out the markets at present IMO

You’ll understand the extent of the millions of dollars that is fed into the Israeli lobby in the US political system hence this American administrations inability to control the Israeli administration actions in Gaza. The western media can paint any picture it wants but those people around the world that matter can clearly see the “tail is waging the dog” that is this US administration which is making them look week which can’t carry on over a sustained period of time. Just IMO as I accept I could be wrong on those assumptions!

Time is quantified by money in this case and European markets are heavily reliant on the oil and gas that passes through suez since they decoupled from Russia. You’ve also got to factor in any disruption to the supply chain of goods and other commodities that pass through suez. It won’t help inflation if that situation gets drawn out hence west sending a coalition fleet to help out in the area. Trouble is we’ve seen how certain technologies are know hard to defend against in the past few years. You also have to add in the escalation effect by all western presence in the Middle East that might bring in other parties and make the situation worse. Only a US veto is holding up a ceasefire but if the wording is changed slightly to save face they’ll vote with the resolution as they’re being isolated and so is their inability to control the Israeli actions in Gaza IMO
Has allowed some stock market dip buying into year end whilst the situation plays out

Pressure on Israel government rises to move to a ceasefire if it’s passed. Shipping re-routing around Africa won’t help inflation so west in a bit of quandary as it’s minimal effect on the east ie, Russia China as they use a different route and Russia has virtually decoupled from west and thus circulation most of its oil and gas to eastern markets. West suffers while the Red Sea problems remain as oil, gas, supply chains heavily use suez so not in their interest for that situation to carry on. Wall Street won’t be happy!

UK seem to have changed position on a ceasefire in Gaza this morning in the news so likely will vote for a ceasefire later today. US just looking for a change in the word slightly to save face. Won’t end the conflict straight away if a resolution is passed but there’ll be huge pressure bearing down on Israel to move towards a ceasefire. Hopefully easy the pressure point in the Red Sea area…

Yes, US market dropped over 1% yesterday. The futures over there this morning look more positive so hopefully some dip buying before we head into Xmas week. I suspect and dip will be seized upon as an opportunity for investor to load up on their chosen stocks for 2024

It dropped when investors took profits on where they felt it reach the top of its current trading range. I have RR currently trading between 285-301p so will need to break either of those and hold to break to the up or downside. Lloyds my pick for next year along with a good dividend 46.5-48p and struggling to break 48p and hold. Barclays trading between 146.5-152p and struggling to break 152p and hold, Barclays has a good dividend too. Profits have been taken at the top of both these banks recently when and they bounce off the top of their current ranges.
Not the oil price either as although it’s up today on news it’s till relatively low to where it has been in the past year or more.
Lloyds, barclays centrica, rolls Royce all upgraded in the RNS with out performs amongst them so don’t expect broker updates to make an SP to suddenly take off. It’s a marathon not a 100m sprint.
No manipulation, stocks trade within a trading range. News or events break these trading ranges to the up or the down side so you either take the long term hold strategy and ride out the peaks and troughs or you trade within those ranges. Certain short term news can create speculation to make quick profit. FTSE100 is weighted towards commodities.
Anyone who bought shares under a pound and bought a lot at those prices is going to be pretty happy seeing an increase in capital since that time and dividends while they hold them. What’s not to like.There are companies returning better dividend yields on the FTSE100 but RR have to bring it back at some level to start. Small steps sometimes create big strides.

“cev i agree he forgets some of us have been invested here decades so have seen a lot of changes in the business and sp and no charts predicted that 😀😀😀😀”
the horse and cart was here for many many decades & centuries before it was replaced by the automobile so going on your theory above perhaps you’ve been here too long. 😇😇😇😇

You don’t need a chart to read and evaluate the news and possible geopolitical effects on the stock market. RR is currently doing ok today. Some people have too high expectations in such short a time. Patience is required ! IMO
