F2, you should only invest in those companies who make good use of their profits.
Look for undervalued stocks, we've indicated this is the case here.
We can't be expected to do all your homework for you.
A little input would be welcomed from you, or do you just sit on the sidelines bleating?

Frankseluk2,

'Sorry, but Tremors board is more like an old people's home than a forum to advance knowledge'
In other words 'give me easy answers to advance my knowledge'.
What a plonker!

'Live long and prosper'.
This is a traditional Jewish religious blessing, also used in Star Trek by the character Mr. Spock by the actor Leonard Nimoy, himself Jewish.
After witnessing the Jewish ritual of making the “V” with his fingers as a child, Nimoy probably never dreamed he would one day make the gesture so publicly and repeatedly as an adult.

It was a 'Draft' Horse.
The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses.
A draft horse (US), draught horse (UK) or dray horse is a large horse bred for its pulling power.

A sea of blue after normal trading hours looks promising.

Car manufacturers often quote horsepower for the headline figures.
The industry provides a cognitive measurement that people can relate to.
Of course it is not so simple, for example a heavy car will need more horsepower than a lighter one.
A heavier car will need more horsepower to get moving - if two cars both produce 200hp, but one weighs 500kg more, the lighter car will accelerate more quickly.
The car industry is showing its age but horsepower is still relevant.

Early canals tunnels were often built without towpaths to save money and labour. Without motorized engines, the only way to propel horse-drawn vessels through the tunnels was for two people to lie on their backs on the boat and walk their feet along the walls.
The narrow boats were legged through the tunnel, hence 'legging it'.
also
We really need to leg it if we're going to catch the bus!

Roofing it (dealer's slang) = going through the roof.

Yes! A happy MMXXI to everyone.
Don't forget the whisky, a dark -haired man and a piece of coal.
At least that's what my parents got up to but who knows whyY
And the fireworks and Jules Holland.

'What does 'roofing it' mean?'
same thing as 'legging it'.

Masking somewhat reduces the dose of virus a wearer might receive, via airborne droplets from talking, sneezing or coughing.
But do not forget aerosols are also emitted from the body, via the above means, these contain clouds of particles much smaller than droplets and these can easily be spread by air-conditioning, restaurants and airplanes, which re-circulate air, these should be avoided and hand-washing or social-distancing won't make any real difference.
Aerosols can be spread easily through cotton masks but several layers are better than one.
Not all surgical-grade masks prevent aerosol passage and varying amounts of face-seal perimeter leakage may be a factor.
Thus, even a mask 100% efficient at filtering aerosols (and by extension the larger droplets too) may leak particles where it does not seal around the contours of the face.
The technology is not there to provide the perfect mask but if they help slow the spread they should be worn.
You may still catch the virus but the bodily reaction may be lower in a smaller dose, or the body may produce antibodies sufficient to deal more easily with the virus.
Perhaps better still give everyone, considered vulnerable, an immune booster jab, which is what over 65's were given in their routine seasonal flu' jab.

Hope the Tremor shares keep 'roofing it'.

It is anyone's guess where the sp will be at the end of this trading week, there may be a little correction but that's only to be expected as we have spiked a lot lately.
No doubt stt1 will start digging up rotten potatoes again at the slightest excuse.

Markets are open in the U.S.

Magnite and The Trade Desk are ad-techs listed on Nasdaq

The virus is most likely to enter via the nose and multiply in the nasal tissues (sinus) first.
On balance some sort of face covering is better than nothing, although the masks I have been able to buy all state that they are not of medically certified grade.

I don't know if I have posted this before:

A lot of younger people don't see covid as a threat to themselves.
Also that there are too many elderly already being kept alive beyond their term by modern medicines.
The expense to the NHS is a huge burden and nature should be allowed to take its course - survival of the fittest (Charles Darwin and all that).
But we have a habit of altering nature!

thanks djframboise for the opening times,

My solicitor has given his office a holiday until 6th January because they have been so busy this year.
Mainly from huge increase in property sales in the S.E. with people escaping from London.

When do the markets re-open?

However, the more it spreads the more it mutates and therefore, as a priority, it should be given to people at high risk of spreading it, assuming they have it?
Do children/students fit into that category? They may well do but are not part of the current vaccination programme.
There is an urgent need to implement more aggressive and efficient testing of people with suspected infections if surveillance is to be a useful tool for fighting the pandemic.
i.e. we don't even know who has got it.
We have wasted billions on 'track and trace' that hasn't worked well at all.
Protecting the NHS staff is only one measure.
Since mass-vaccination is not possible there has to be a target demographic.

Children are at low-risk from suffering the effects of the virus..
Plus the vaccine is currently only for adults over 50.

Bring back Corbyn for baldy!

ALL medical staff first where they are at high risk since they are not all equally on the front-line.
They are not all equally hard-working and in any case how can that be a factor?
