Our hearts go out to Magmanus49, whose position here is getting deeper underwater by the day. We'll be calling him Captain Nemo soon - when he's 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Wish I'd bought a month ago

After all the ramping over the weekend I was thinking of buying in this morning. Sitting on my hands for now though - the deal might wipe out ordinary shareholders.

Darth "No, Truss & Co trashed that mandate.". The University of Woke, where personal opinions become facts simply by asserting them.

Darth, it doesn't really matter what you think the country 'deserves'. There is no constitutional requirement for a general election. The Tories and their 2019 manifesto secured a big mandate and that is still the case. My personal opinion is that Sunak looks like the first adult PM we've had since Blair. And also my personal opinion is that the last thing this country needs is more drawn out uncertainty of a General Election campaign. Enough drift and naivety.

Looks like its going to be a Rishi coronation, so the recovery should gather pace next week.

Starting to come down from the recent highs caused by the mini budget. This should feed through into lower rates for mortgage deals, which jumped alarmingly in the market panic. A new, more astute PM and Chancellor should help cement this - unless BoE decide to hike interest rates to reduce inflation without any regard for the wider economy, which looks to be heading into a sharp recession. Their mandate only extends to inflation though - in retrospect an over-simplification, and one due for a rapid overhaul.

Trouble is Pernix, Labour's economic plans are just as daft. It's amusing seeing them pointing to the markets as vindicating them. They hate the markets, and they'll come to regret that.

It remains the case that the UK has relatively low levels of national debt as a proportion of GDP as compared to other G7 countries and major economies. That's not to say it's good, I'm all for fiscal rectitude (or rectal fiscitude as my wife and I like to call it). As I understand it, the OBR will say that Truss's measures to promote economic growth cannot hope to induce enough growth to provide sufficient extra taxes to cover the extra spending she is proposing. She was therefore suggesting trying to cut some areas of public expenditure, but Labour and Tory rebels are ruling that out. If she can freeze public spending though, inflation will reduce it as a proportion of GDP - and also erode the value of the national debt. It's an ill wind...

Lol great find Crawshaw.

Pernix, as you are obviously desperate for a low entry price, perhaps start praying that Putin detonates a tactical nuke in Ukraine. That would really tank the markets. And screw everyone who gets hurt so long as you get what you want.

If Putin gets deposed (or dies) on the other hand, there will probably be a massive market bounce.

Looks like CaravanBoy did manage to pick the exact bottom. Sadly he sold instead of buying, pmsl.

Wise advice pernix. I just want to add, be careful if driving above the speed limit, smoking, or exceeding the government recommended number of alcohol units.

Good buy for great long term dividend income stream

Put research-tree in where the stars are to read the largely positive report

I also bought at 101.05 very recently. Bit baffled why they'd want to make it look like there are more sells than buys thiugh.

I very much doubt the share price will go up when we get relisted, given the forward guidance, previously buoyant, has been sharply downgraded. That stings.

If you mean the Uncrossing Trade, it's an auction to set the closing price. So no-one spent a million quid. That's just the aggregate of market maker closing auction bids that don't get filled.

Amazing it hasn't been suspended here too. Anyway, I'm in for a small punt.
