With the new Novavax vaccine showing to be 89% effective against the covid-19 virus, this could be the start of the turning point. There'll certainly be a restructuring of towns and cities as social-points. Light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully!

Good morning WESTCOUTRYBO

Well, there we have it - Fawlty, the grand Old Duke of Dork has been proven to be incapable of predicting the SP in the short term, medium term, and more than likely the long term. 40p by the end of this month was never going to materialise - that was obvious to most. One has lost count of how many side bets he’s been placing, 40p here, 38p there, 70p++ coming soon DYOR -
what a clown. Now, Fawlty is back-pedalling by pretending he was just winding people up! ..... you couldn’t make it up, could you, eh.
Newbies, should take note, careful who you believe, the mini rampers and the deluded are out there, and some even believe their own hype!

If brains were dynamite, eh. ...
Fawlty wouldn’t have enough to blow his nose!

Just a little recap of Fawlty’s positions:

Witny, Good Morning,
Will you take the challenge for £10 towards Asp1's Charity please?
If the sp does hit 40p this month, Would you pay £10 to Asp1's Charity please?
Come on, show us you have a bit of dignity and take the challenge.
Cheers, Falky

P.s. Argos Resources will be 10p+ on the news of Sea Lion FID....DYOR

£10;from me if we don't hit 40p by end of the month.
Cheers, Falky

Don't forget to add an extra £10 Fawlty, for the promise you made to me if it doesn't reach 40p by the end of today.
How many other betting positions are you running on this?

I think I blinked once or twice when the market opened.... please tell me I haven’t missed Fawlty’s 40p. It would be just like me to miss it after our resident self proclaimed genius has been predicting it for many months.
Did Fawlty catch it, or is he still holding the Franz Klammer position?

Thanks GS,
I will definitely read a few books, in between my OU study. I think SW mentioned the Slater Growth too, so will check that out.

Thanks for your thoughts , SW, gdog.
As you and s/n/n say, probably nothing major. However, when concerns about privacy get into the public mindset we often see a reaction, albeit a small one.
Example being the large number of people who ditched WhatsApp recently.

My plan, if all goes well, is to take some out on the run-up to results and keep some in to see what happens. Possibly look for something else with potential.
Perhaps, with my limited knowledge and small investment, the best option could be a fund, with a view of leaving it in there for 8 to 10 years. Although, one doubts it will be as much fun!

Sadly It’s unlikely this hose will be front running anytime soon. Reductions in car sales are usually a very reliable pointer to what the economy is to be like for at least 12 months. This yardstick has been proven in boom time and recessions past time and time again. At the moment it does not bode well: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55817920

Don't encourage him, it's the equivalent of offering an alcoholic a 'wee dram'.
One appreciates the charity, but Fawlty has a predisposition for gambling. Fawlty gives the impression he's researching, but in fact, he's blind-backing without even looking at the form book!

If you're listening-in Fawlty you can get help here:

Thanks, s/n/n
I will take a look, one thinks Apple has an ulterior motive far removed from privacy concerns. Do you think the uncertainty over these issues is affecting the tech-ad sector in general?

Have you been following Fawlty, Johnny ... or are you Fawlty?

This is not good for businesses or those with a vested interest .

Now he's having a coffee!
.. to calm himself before the Jump ....he'll end up like Eddie the eagle.

He's still on the loo, holding the Franz Klammer position!

News: 'The International Monetary Fund has downgraded forecasts for the UK’s recovery this year while the expansion of the global economy, aided by accelerating vaccine rollouts, is expected to gather pace.

One blames the continual procrastination of this government during the pandemic.

Quite

Not according to Fawlty!
He's been running a bookie on it all month.

Not sure if this is relevant?
Although it seems to be in our ballpark:

OK, I won't panic just yet, can't wait for February 16th ..haha:
