diku : BP always looks so solid. How will these big players start to adapt to the green global outlook ... I guess wind farms and hydro power ?

Manics : last time she did this we were rewarded with a 10p+ gain in one day ... here's to another jump north like that !! 🤞🤞🤞

[diku] 10/2/2021 09:05

Yes hence my comment to watch BP here few days ago...cold snap is here...




diku: oil on a breakout, BP. should respond at some point...

[manics] 10/2/2021 09:03

It is shy of 150p, that's for sure. Gunna take a good push.

And the house price if millions are unemployed ?

Barc seems to want to hang at this 147-149 level.... I wonder what she has in store for us ? gla

This Guam-based drone is very good at tracking Chinese activity and providing commanders with real-time intelligence.

Here we go.... Longer lockdowns

Covid strain found in Bristol that is similar to South African virus is listed as a 'variant of concern' and has been spotted 21 times across the UK – as No10 rolls out door-to-door testing in South London to flush out SA mutant

It depends what the inheritance tax threshold is to be. If it hits the red wall voters, the Tories are toast.

[jordaggy] 09/2/2021 20:57

I don't know what to make of the tories. Are they a quasi green or Labour Party, it's getting hard to tell and if they put inheritance tax up, then they're finished. Conservatism doesn't mean what it once stood for.

"Tory or Labour.. What’s the difference?"

One of them wants us to rejoin the EU. Can you guess which it is?

[johnwise] 09/2/2021 15:51

Tory or Labour.. What’s the difference?

Only if Rishi Sunak has a political death wish,lose the next election


Inheritance tax could increase as Rishi Sunak told 'hike to 80% could pay for pandemic'

In LLOY at the moment from 35p.... so lets wait and see!

[manics] 09/2/2021 14:53

maxidi: will we ever see double digit BARC again? I do not know but I do know that's a bet that pays out every time.Very fast money from those levels you mention as I remember.

[maxidi] 09/2/2021 13:42

I remember buying Barc at 50p a good few years back and sold for around the pound mark and kicking myself as it climbed even more!!
Hindsight or what?

[manics] 09/2/2021 10:20

PRBSHARES: you've got to say that BARC is holding up relatively well. It's not hard to find large-caps reporting catastrophic falls in revenue, and raising cash. Look at TUI this morning. Look at RR. which is actually considering closing down for a few weeks!Valuing a bank is black magic and nobody really knows how to do it fully. Jes grabs the headlines with the top line stuff and I say that's the IB and divi. 163p is my target if it blitzed that Feb-Mar then why not back to pre Covid levels? 180p doesn't sound horrible to me (subject to Feb 18th).

The Germans, historical military track record is not good.. Now a Third Opportunity?

Absolute madness

Europe’s Survival Could Depend on Germany Rebuilding Its Air Force

Germany is also the economic powerhouse of Europe, and to say it has a strong military tradition would be an understatement.

Musk has sent Bitcoin crazy... he is one very unpredictable individual. Where could bitcoin go now .... $60 + ?? The world sometimes seems a little unhinged .

On a more sensible note, what's everyone's thoughts on Barc and the run up to results ? I can only imagine that the consumer side has been completely battered to pieces by covid but the IB will have been offsetting some of this. Interesting to see how this plays out and could we have the ducks all lined up (ie: vaccine news, economy bounce back, spring/summer positivity, possible divi mention etc) to push her to new highs ??

[manics] 09/2/2021 07:18

Might be waiting a few days yet for the 15X crossover....Watch ARB fly today on BTC imo.
