Nah, that's nonsense. He's a danger to the world and is willing to appease a foreign aggressor for short term gain. When he starts on tariffs everything will move backwards. President-elect Donald Trump is stepping into an exceptionally strong economy, with nearly every indicator looking positive. The real question is: how long before he manages to mess it up? I’d give it less than a year.

Despite the disaster of Trump, there are reasons to be cheerful - good entry point now IMO.

AAT, Thank you for the vote of confidence, it means so much to me (not).

It was never, for me anyway, about today. I always said it is a long game and I will hold for at least three years. Will be topping up regularly at these prices.

....Additionally, ITV’s streaming service, ITVX, showed notable growth, with a 14% increase in streaming hours and a 15% rise in digital ad revenue, reflecting the company’s necessary shift towards digital media consumption.

It's a tale of mixed signals for the company. We are not getting the full picture just yet.

On the positive side, ITV expects to achieve record profits for its Studios division this year, despite recent challenges.

Perhaps, following his leader's super intelligence, he'll recommend bleach injections as a cheaper alternative!

Alboumphoto,

I agree with you on Brexit. After the Brexit disaster no new US trade deals materialised, as promised by those peddling the notion. It was a complete nonsense from the start. We are no longer part of a club, but totally subservient to the US.

Trump pledges a 10-20% tariff on all US imports to cut or eliminate Americans' income tax. The UK economy could face serious fallout. We now have nowhere to turn.

Everything will settle once Trump takes office and starts the appeasement policies with Putin.

From history we know this kind of action, appeasing an aggressor, will only store up a much bigger problem down the line.

In the years before WWII, several leaders outside Germany adopted policies of appeasement toward Hitler:

1. Neville Chamberlain (UK) - British Prime Minister from 1937 to 1940, Chamberlain’s Munich Agreement in 1938 allowed Hitler to annex the Sudetenland, aiming to prevent war, which he wrongly claimed secured "peace for our time."

2. Édouard Daladier (France) - The French Prime Minister joined Chamberlain in the Munich Agreement, despite doubts, due to limited French support for war and concerns over military readiness.

3. Lord Halifax (UK) - As Foreign Secretary, Halifax backed Chamberlain’s diplomatic approach, promoting negotiations to avoid conflict.

4. King Edward VIII (UK) - Though not a politician, Edward VIII was sympathetic to Nazi Germany, meeting Hitler in 1937, which led to questions about his loyalties.

5. António de Oliveira Salazar (Portugal) - Portuguese Prime Minister who maintained neutrality but allowed early concessions to Germany to avoid conflict.

6. Miklós Horthy (Hungary) - Hungary’s regent allied with Hitler in hopes of regaining lost territories, accepting Nazi influence in exchange for Hungary’s gains.

7. Benito Mussolini (Italy) - Initially cautious, Mussolini aligned with Hitler in 1936 with the **Rome-Berlin Axis** and mediated the Munich Agreement to support Hitler’s demands. By 1939, the **Pact of Steel** committed Italy and Germany to military alliance, further emboldening Hitler.

These appeasement policies ultimately failed, encouraging Hitler’s aggression and leading to WWII in 1939.

It's nothing to do with Starmer or Reeves.

It's the bigger picture across the pond, old son.

Previous post (tomomalley) filtered - oh bliss.

There are many examples to Trump's insanity.

Here's one of the latest:

A vaccine ban would kill and disable millions of Americans and collapse the economy. It is stunning that actual Americans on the edge of power would consider this idea, let alone advocate it.

Trump indicates he is open to RFK Jr’s proposal to ban vaccines if elected.

What conclusion?

Are you telling me Trump is sane?

If so, you're mad too.

It's understandable that the markets are tepid.

After all, a complete madman has just gained one of the most powerful positions in the world!

Good analysis.

Thanks for sharing, BigEgo.

I doubt I will be looking too deeply into this for 3 years or so. Let it sit quietly. Based on recent reports and analysis, GSK's current share price and overall market position have analysts divided, but with a moderate tilt toward a 'buy' recommendation. The stock is down although several analysts see value in GSK due to strong performance in its pharmaceuticals division and its broad, diverse portfolio of therapeutics.

Happy with the divi, for now.
