Fabulous start to 2024.

Massive expansion of the benefits system has created a country dependent on handouts and a generation of entitled idlers. Means testing only makes things worse. There is no incentive to help yourself or save for a rainy day. Gordon Brown not only ruined pensions, he also ruined the stockmarket as UK shares are now mostly bought by foreign investors. UK pensions now only hold roughly 10% UK equity. Things are bad now but never forget how worse Labour can make it.

Jeepers guys. It's not that bad. You obviously don't remember the 70's.

Try living in the US now. No longer the land of milk and honey with everything massively expensive, and crime destroying most Cities thanks to our Democratic friends and their hang ups with the police.

Europe is also on its knees in this tough economic cycle.

Do you honestly believe things would be better if Labour had been in power? Of course not. Things would be at the very least similar.

I do agree that the Left makes people feel guilty and bigoted to be patriotic which is plain wrong. Universities also have a lot to answer for in censoring free speech. Quite pathetic how you are hounded out of such establishments if you're Tory. The same applies to the BBC. I had a friend who worked there and he felt unable to say he was a Conservative for fear of being subtly bullied and not having a career progression. This stuff is rife but people are wising up to it and fighting back.

I however still love England and have a soft spot for Scotland although they don't seem to like me so much up there. Wales is lovely as well.

A spokesperson for Aviva said: "It's typical for transactions to require regulatory approval and this deal is no different. We continue to expect the transaction to complete in the first half of 2024 subject to regulatory approvals, and we will provide an update in due course."Https://www.cityam.com/competition-watchdogs-kicks-off-inquiry-into-aviva-acquisition-of-aig-life/

Buys and sells are exactly the same. Only the price changes

[xongkudu] 08/2/2024 16:34

Lots of buying compared to selling today but that doesn’t seem to matter.

German DAX at or near highs yet their economy is more ruined than ours and set to be ruined further. German companies are still selling into Russia. In the next couple of months that stops because the EU has finally made it stop. I know because I know of several who are selling as much as they can before the ban that will wipe out very large percentages of their production. The DAX performance v the FTSE is simply crazy

I'm pretty much all in tbh.

I hope you don’t mind me asking but are you ‘all in’ with high yield shares or do you keep a % of cash on the sidelines for hedging or future buying opportunities?

I have quite a large SIPP but currently only commit about 40% to Dividend shares. I’d like to increase my yearly dividend take but caution is holding me back in case there’s another market meltdown. My biggest holdings are Aviva Barclays and a small oil and gas co but looking for another.

I've been thinking the same. There is absolutely zero appetite for UK stocks atm although I suspect that will change once we actually get a rate reduction, but by how much and for how long is the question. Meantime, if you're merely after yield, it's a positive.Overall I think the whole Market needs an alt-control-delete.spud

down we go!!!!

[pvi1] 07/2/2024 15:48

Insurers down a bit today, but why is LGEN taking a bigger hit than others?

[whatsup32] 07/2/2024 11:55

Spud , with respect its insurance related and as such perfectly correct to post here , we all need to renew insurance every year on our cars , homes etc. so good to know others experience.
