Just checked the weather forecast for the week ahead. Even hour by hour, the Met Office indicates not a bit of sunshine right through to Sunday. That won't help my tomatoes!

Morning All.

A high of 8.8°C in the rain yesterday, only dropping to 8.3°C overnight. Managed to get conservatory roof cleaned in the rain, figured I'd get wet anyway!

Some great pictures there Aleman, may need to revisit them from time to time if this morning's screen is anything to go by!

Thanks, bl. I only just invreased my budget for HAT's dividend to 10p recently so the stronger 12p forecast is great news.

Looking at those charts, you would expect a correction, so many factors, Trump/Russia, May/Brexit, PoO [price of oil], inflation etc.

HAT featured in MoS Midas column today, I only bought on Fri. Hope it fares better than PHNX last week, although to be fair it did lift the stock slightly.

Good Morning.

I remain short on the FTSE for now.

The 14 consecutive higher closes are unprecedented and with January the 20th looming, a correction may be imminent.

The index charts above look like they belong in the new film "La La Land".

A very strong indicator of recession - US tax-take turns negative. So now there is plenty of minor indicators that the US is about to fall into or may already have fallen into recession and now it looks like they will need to increase taxes or cut spending again, just after the new president's indication of doing the opposite has seen a big run-up in stockmarkets. Will bursting the bubble of optimism be another present for Trump? The US market valuation is stretched at the moment. It could easily fall 1/3rd - more if the economy goes into recession.

What's the odds of the FTSE 100 going up in a narrow range straight line as the £ actually bounced around a bit? It makes the smooth rise look even more unlikely.

One would expect some sort of correction, however small, before long.

Anybody think that rise looks normal?

[skinny] 14/1/2017 14:23

Any views?

Seems like Greece again - unelected Eurocrats decide Italy's fate with fudged solutions that take 10 times longer to solve the situation than they should as they make political capital out of it.

Morning,

+0.16% Friday, which rounds off for the Folio a period of unbroken gains over the last 20 trading sessions. Albeit some before the New Year were only small but a gain is a gain.

+1.17% for the week, Folio YTD +2.65%.

Overcast with wet snow showers currently running through the Cheshire Gap, will be wrapping up well for this afternoons crunch local derby.

Enjoyed Alexander Armstrong's BBC Invisible Cities programme on Venice, above and below ground, fascinating computerised sequences. The historical sections were rev
ealing as well.

Quiz 1/7.

And something more relaxing:

I'm watching too much TV, 5/7 for me.

Evening all. Nothing very exciting weatherwise to report here in Bournemouth. I suppose I should report on my Selftrade portfolio performance YTD. Before doing so, I must own up to it containing 1/3 cash and containing just 3 stocks; CLLN, TALK and CRST the latter being the heaviest weighting. I've never been one for having a large spread of stocks, but just 3 stocks is a bit extreme even for me. But that's where I'm at, so my lot will be quite volatile.

So down to numbers. After finishing last year 7.9% down, I a presently at +6.2% for the year with daily numbers of CRST & CLLN @ +1.8% and TALK @ +1.7%.

[deanforester] 13/1/2017 18:32

I'm up +0.486% on the day today (FTSE100 +0.623%), up +1.55% on the week (FTSE100 +1.77%) and up +2.36% YTD (FTSE100 +2.73% and BHIX +2.60%).

Best rises: KGF +2.6%, INDV +2.3% and MRS +1.9%.

Worst falls: MKS -1.7%, BA. -1.0% and UU. -0.7%.

Decided on the motorway route to Tonbridge, as our lane was icy. Ran into the snow as we approached the M25,and it kept snowing until about noon. Came back the same way, which took 50 minutes, compared with the 1 hour 15 min predicted for the more direct route.

Have a good weekend.

-0.3%. YTD -0.4%, so that tax payment made still dragging me into negative territory.

Cold mixed day. Sunny spells but felt very cold when some bigger clouds came over, and my face was numb walking back home from school into the breeze. 4.5C high after -1.0C last night. More of the same forecasted.

Wrap up and have a good weekend.

Looks like he is really going to inherit a mess!

Not a bad week, the SIPP managed +0.99% and is now +2.23% YTD (thanks to the managed funds) but the pot and Virgin ISA are both lagging behind with YTD figures of +0.55% & +1.15%

Room 101 tonight then catch up with some of the stuff we have recorded. Wouldn't mind watching Portillo's train journey if I can get home early enough!

Either boat polishing or hedge trimming tomorrow morning then we have a patio guy coming to give us a quote.

Enjoy your weekends.

US collateralised subrpime auto loans show continued rising delinquencoes. So who owns these things? Pension funds? Banks? Income funds? If they are doing badly in a good economy, what happens now there are some signs of weakening? Another present for Trump?

She's gonna blow!

Just been checking the performance of the managed funds within the SIPP and I'm pleased to see they are all positive so far this year (as they should be). Best performers for me; Blackrock Gold & General +11.69%, Jupiter Asian Income +4.62% and AXA Biotech +4.55%. Very sorry to say my worst performer is Woodford Equity at a pitiful +0.05% but overall the funds are running at +2.69% YTD so I'm happy with that.
