I notice he didn't name ONE BENEFIT just a load of future unicorns and the usual middle finger to Poland, Romania and Germany. Once the distraction of the UK government's total failure and corruption on Covid is out of the way, we will clearly see that Brexit was a massive own goal. How's that trade deal with the USA going or the 350M a week Brexit bonus for the NHS?

No, BOE not hiking rates would normally be good thing for HL. I guess it's just people selling and looking for better opportunities elsewhere. It doesn't help when the former director Peter "HARGREAVES" keeps selling. The Neil Woodford debacle is still hurting sentiment and their advice and recommendations since then haven't been very successful.

Rock the high street? Who even goes there anymore? The high street is already well into full collapse. You can get nearly everything online these days without leaving home and paying extortionate parking charge and wasting petrol. Even oldies like me do all their shopping online. Shopping centres will become entertainment centres - food and leisure - actually many have already transitioned to this. High Street as such is going to disappear soon - much like the local butcher, banks, video rental stores, etc. Talking of Primark - my kids wouldn't be seen dead in any Primark merch - not even their socks and pants.

Quiet board. So 8 months later and VMID up 8% plus 2.5% divvies pa. Pretty good. Still think FTSE 250 undervalued so will keep holding as UK economy continues to improve. Will buy more on any dips.

I expect other countries to join in soon if UK rates keep rising.

You said "time to get out of here while still worth something" when they were at 152p. I'd be happy to discuss this 31% rise with you.

Mini crash? Nope. Just a blip. Where are all the trolls today?

Calm Down Dear

"how much down in BOO are you now?"

up 8% today. How you doin ?

The new Debenhams.com advert has been on TV a lot in my area. It looks good. Hopefully the 55M BOO paid for Debenhams will soon be reaping in lots of sales.

John - you got robbed but most flights are loss leaders. Get it? Loads of peanuts flights - fancy a cheap week in Portugal? Classic example (look it up) : Stansted to Porto return 23rd to 29th - total cost £19.99. Cheaper than coach return London / Birmingham. You seriously reckon Unc Mikey is making any profit on that? All will be revealed when next loss is posted.

Daytrade: "biggest value holding rdsb currently (cant remember figure without logging into Hl), second biggest is Glen with just over 85k shares, then BP, RYA, CEY, LLOY, TGA and a few smaller ones. Pf value, again without logging in, circa 850k."

Just out of interest how much you down on LLOY?

Nice words and well done on the CAPITALS. John - Palma to Dublin is currently 30€ (peanuts) on 19th Oct. How you paid 167€ (robbed) is beyond me. By the way if you're on holiday right now in Mallorca go out and enjoy yourself and stop posting on here.

We all know your blinkered love for Mikey, but to let customers book a holiday and only tell them the news they can't board at the last minute shows no regard for fellow human beings. Their abysmal customer service will come back and bite them. Also to say flight prices are "irrelevant to the SP" clearly demonstrates how little you know.

DayTradeNonsense. I'd rather be in BT than RYA. BT is a steal at these prices. You've been waiting a long time for RYA to get back to the high of 19.3 of August 2017. Will it ever get there again?

With RYA's increased losses, fuel prices soaring and wafer thin margins you should focus on how they will make a profit. Selling flights for buttons is not a good idea. Concentrating on my personal investments (at least I post them) is irrelevant - you seem a bit obsessed. You should monitor prices and ask yourself why RYA reduced their prices 2 days ago. I guess with your fantasy trades you always buy at the bottom and sell at the top?

RYA should pay back UK taxpayers the Covid loan they had. Or is there a finance problem?

I wouldn't be blinded too much by those numbers novice. Is that really the extent of your research? If I started selling tenners for a fiver I'm sure I'd find a few takers. Ryanair (as I've pointed out before) are selling flights for peanuts - they will always fill a few seats. The problem is making a margin. By the way I just noticed Ryanair flights I've been monitoring in early November have been reduced significantly since yesterday. Prices gone from peanuts to buttons! Must be having trouble filling them planes. Oh dear.

Anyone who wants to look at this terrible story - it is in most media outlets now. At a time when airlines really need to rebuild their reputations, this is not the kind of publicity they want. Media covering this story include:
Daily Mail
BBC
SKY
Dily Telegraph
Independent
CNN
The Irish Times
Manchester Evening News
Birmingham Mail
The Mirror

A flight from Manchester had to make an unscheduled landing at Liverpool John Lennon Airport after a bird flew into the plane's engine during take-off.
Ryanair said the flight was carrying holidaymakers bound for Lanzarote when there was "a minor bird strike".
Flight FR2131 was diverted to Liverpool and customers were transferred to a replacement aircraft that left for the island about an hour later.
