Lololololololololol

Was funny prediction.

[spectoacc] 13/12/2019 06:43

Jeesus. Don't think I've ever been more wrong about anything.

[chucko1] 12/12/2019 22:04

Chucko and his statistics came good!!!

[chucko1] 12/12/2019 17:33

Yes, so right before the close I managed to get 94.93 on a further batch. All went into RGL. I AM STILL CONFIDENT FOR TONIGHT.

[redhill9] 12/12/2019 17:01

Yes, today AEWU seems to have gone up by a broadly similar amount to RGL going down. Someone doing a (very) large switch perhaps? Slightly bizarre but opportunities for the nimble investor.

[chucko1] 12/12/2019 15:54

Skyship, I chucked a few of them back out again a few minutes ago. Bought RGL instead as that has randomly been bashed.

Sometimes, I scratch my head as to some of these relative REIT price movements!

I rather liked Boris's line yesterday.

"We will be carbon neutral by 2050

and corbyn neutral by Christmas"

eeza - re votes for callow youth. Love this post from forgotten who:

Corbyn 2 years ago: “We demand the return of Shamima Begum to the UK at once, she was only a 16y/o immature child when she took the decision to join ISIS, she cannot be held accountable for her actions at such a young age.”

Corbyn in Nov’19: “We demand that 16 year olds be given the vote in the UK, they are responsible and free-thinking adults.”

chucko - well done with your purchase yesterday, picked the pockets of someone foolishly discarding at low levels - 90.76p - WOW! Certainly looks good today.

[spectoacc] 12/12/2019 14:40

Labour will struggle as a minority govnt IMO, I see no prospect of them winning a majority. Marxism is the next election :(

[chucko1] 12/12/2019 14:37

It’s going to be OK.

I think.

FX still stable although betting markets very nervous.

[spectoacc] 12/12/2019 14:30

Freedom of the press will be the first thing to go. But wait - not so many read newspapers these days (BBC will be easy to nobble with Marxist appointees). How on earth can the internet be controlled?

I know! Let's make it a State internet, sell it as "broadband for all".

[eeza] 12/12/2019 11:34

Give the vote to EU citizens.
Reduce the voting age to 16 then 14.
Give every thing free to everyone who is a student, OAP, on benefits and ensure their allegiance.

Attaway to go.

Lunacy & bankruptcy.

[apollocreed1] 12/12/2019 10:29

Tom Bower in his biography of Corbyn states that Marxists have a track record of banning free and fair elections after they win. We can already see that in their plans to give EU citizens the vote in a second referendum.

[eeza] 12/12/2019 08:32

There's a lot of anti-democratic snowflakes who totally deserve a large dose of Corbyn.

He's gonna give it to 'em good and hard. Right up.

They'll need their comfort dogs and safe spaces.

[spectoacc] 12/12/2019 08:18

Corbyn is undeniably unpopular.

Not sure a large Boris majority would be anything to relish either.

Less than 24hrs to find out.

[panshanger1] 12/12/2019 07:57

Re : postal votes Laura Kuenssberg let the cat out of the bag by saying initial returns were disappointing for labour ( although this is illegal)- I am going for 40 plus

[rcturner2] 12/12/2019 07:45

The key question is whether Dominic Cummings has worked his magic or not. I actually think the size of the Tory win will surprise a lot of people. Labour are polling very badly in a lot of their traditional seats. I have heard that Labour is pulling its ground workers out of many supposed marginals in order to defend what were supposed to be safe seats.

[spectoacc] 11/12/2019 21:50

Betting market 346-ish Tory, 220ish Labour last I looked.

I'm going 310ish Tory, 255ish Labour. I'd agree that doesn't necessarily result in the Labour minority govnt I've bet on. But will result in a lot of uncertainty and volatility.

I really am out on my own on this, but my money is where my mouth is. The very active middle are all for Corbyn (phenomenally irrationally).

[chucko1] 11/12/2019 21:02

Skyship, my bet is on 25-35 majority. For BJ (not BR as I mistyped earlier, but that’s what wine does for you).

[skyship] 11/12/2019 18:22

chucko - quite right - though I'm still hoping for a 30-40 majority; though that has reduced this week from my earlier thoughts of 50-60!

[chucko1] 11/12/2019 17:09

Yes, a cheap option. A lot of these don’t incur stamp duty which reduces the friction.

I didn’t exactly go mad myself today. I bought at what I saw were panic prices (90.76 on AEWU in a bit of size), RGL in a few that I had sold going into this week. Also positioning for UK mid-caps.

In any event, I do not see Corbyn getting anywhere near power whatever the failure of BR to get a decisive victory.

It’s worth considering that 320 seats just about does it with the Speaker, 3 deputies and Sinn Fein not voting. Not that that would help the markets too much, but far, far better than actually losing.

[spectoacc] 11/12/2019 16:46

@chucko1 - 36 hours to find out :)

But fair point - if I only thought 8/1, I wouldn't be positioning for a hung Parliament. Then again - the downside of selling out of things in advance is minor.

[spangle93] 11/12/2019 16:44

Jon123 - exactly my point - if the democrats had fielded a character who wasn't so, er, divisive as Hilary we might not have the ginger-haired one in office.
