Considering we all thought today was going to be tough, it ain't too bad. I'm up on many of my holdings.

As for ITV, here we are once more, and surprise, surprise 'I haven't lost a penny!'. That tends to be the case, even if the sp goes down, if you don't sell. On an even brighter side, as a long-time holder of this stock, I'm still sitting pretty above my entry point while raking in those dividends. Life really is a thrilling ride, isn’t it?

Finance Magnates covers significant events and trends in US markets. Our visibility is growing over there:

https://www.financemagnates.com/fintech/payments/wise-serves-11-million-customers-as-volumes-hit-47-billion/

From my perspective, it reflects an overall positive outlook, emphasising strong customer growth, expanding services, and a solid focus on long-term investments.v This should be seen as a strong endorsement of Wise's strategy and its potential to capitalise on global market opportunities. IMO, this could move a lot higher in the coming months.

With strong growth & PBT margin at the top end of guidance, I decided to add some this morning. It will be interesting when we list in the US.

If BlackRock are increasing it a good sign.

Trump could do anything, he's a danger to the world. That's why I got out. I've been warning people about the egotistical loon for ages.

He doesn't just want Canada and Greenland - he facilitated Brexit and has the UK on his list of subservients.

My only thoughts are, this company is significantly tied to the US, which is being governed by a complete egotistical idiot who is not concerned about allies. The orange fool damages eveything he touches.

No doubt the idiots on this board will blame McCall for Trump's incompetence:

Good morning, Red.

It's not far-fetched to assume that Denmark may opt to boycott the World Cup, especially since the United States is hosting, making this the only viable choice for the nation under threat. Germany is reportedly considering this option seriously as well. If this occurs, it could spark a broader movement for boycotts. Ultimately, it's important to note that ITV will bear the consequences due to the inflated ego of a deranged individual.

Beware, gulliblity to mad people never ends well:

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States.

Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

Looking ahead the Planning and Infrastructure Act is expected to streamline decision making and support further planning consents. Jennie Daly, CEO of Taylor Wimpey, said:

“The Government’s planning reforms have been welcome, and we’ve seen increased momentum in our recent planning permissions.”

Tomorrow!!

Thanks, I knew it was sometime soon.

Its slower than many would like, but nonetheless 2026 will be a turning point in my view. Many new developments are in the pipeline.

MJ Gleeson is scheduled to release its next set of results on February 11. GLE has been negatively impacted today, but only by uncertainty around TW, and looks cheap now.

Their updated will hopefully give some clarity.

You never know what the madman will do next - which is why I got out:
