Every now and again I read with sadness of the passing of someone who I had the privilege to know and admire. Henry Brooke was not only intellectually gifted, but was a thoroughly decent man with a brilliant sense of humour.

Expect Carneys next statement to say no rush for rate increases. Does more U turns than a black cab.

[smurfy2001] 09/2/2018 10:09

Bank says rate raises needed to contain ‘rising degree of excess demand’ and building domestic inflationary pressures

[smurfy2001] 09/2/2018 09:49

What next for interest rates? Bank holds for now but a hike could arrive as soon as May

108 according to the front page. Is that how it works: 10/1 DOW/Footy?

[polar fox] 08/2/2018 21:30

So the DOW has closed down 1,033. Hardly unusual these days. FTSE off about 50 as I type this.

[sux_2bu] 08/2/2018 18:43

Big rise on the market tomorrow.

[leedskier] 08/2/2018 18:27

The quicker it sheds 10% the better,

[ramco] 08/2/2018 18:04

Not a bad day's work in the armchair ;

Short term trade sold @ £2.86331 for £563 profit

Bought 4646 RBS in the ISA @ 274 average for a short term trade.

[leedskier] 08/2/2018 12:58

That comment will be to lift the £. The higher the £ trades against the Euro, the lower the inflation rate.

And what is more it has worked.

[smurfy2001] 08/2/2018 12:41

Might explain the spike.

Bank of England leaves interest rates on hold but hints that hike is coming - business live

[smurfy2001] 08/2/2018 12:33

Raffles,

I'll certainly be up early in the morning to find out.... Maybe RBS will end up with a loss in FY2017 and profit from FY2018, that might be the CEO's strategy. If there's no extra provisions then maybe the existing provisions are enough, either way could boost the share price to new highs the latter being my hope.

Did cross my mind to Leed ....
