Boring, but a great day so far.

Manics : I agree and will just have to see.

Its crazy money being thrown around now by the fed and boe but in times of need the old saying of 'spending your way out' is certainly a path the global economies will explore.

I hope my rose tinted glasses stay with me and barc consolidates around these levels. 168p would certainly position you on the start of the next leg up...lets see if the 'R' number , vaccine rollout and talk of the Great British Economy firing up gives us a March to remember !

[manics] 01/3/2021 08:28

PRBSHARES: harder to call a day, anything can happen intra. 163p is nice but so long as it can hold 159-160p it's still "feel good".

My strategy currently is to wait for either 157p or 168p (to go long). If you absolutely twisted my arm today I'd speculate 168p may arrive first, but who knows.

$1.9tn should clear the senate this month. They're doing another $3tn in September I believe. Crazy numbers. So broadly the bull is still in play (else you're 'fighting the Fed')but we need corrections along the way which is where my caution is.

All imo.

I am hoping March brings the start of the positive sentiment aligning the successful vaccine with an economy keen to fire its engine up !! I am very interested to see how today pans out being that the banks can see themselves in a potential win win situ with interest rate concerns.

UK economy has taken the worst hit of the G7 countries - Now maybe the time for the Chancellor to take a deep breath and revisit the Laffer curve before biting the hands that feed the economy. And it'll be interesting to see how many are still in a position to actually pay tax when furlough ends..

British Government Destroying thousands of jobs in UK car manufacturing with its Climate Change Scam..


Vauxhall factory could close if deal not reached on electric car production

Stellantis chief executive Carlos Tavares has warned governments can “create situations which destroy the business model”, telling a press conference: “If we are told that in 2030 internal combustion engines cannot be sold in the UK – which we respect as a decision from the country – then we are not going to invest in internal combustion engines anymore because that makes no sense.”

UK property prices are 40% overvalued and being propped up by a government addicted to debt. The reason people cant afford the deposits is because prices are far too high. This is all going to end very badly when inflation starts to take off!

The big investors like Warren Buffet are already ringing the inflation alarm bells! Investors are dumping debt and bond investments. You will be living in an overpriced house while your pension and spending power gets eaten away by inflation and taxes..

Exactly..hence rates have been so low since 2009 to support housing market and the chain link that is attached to it...rates are snookered with the housing market...




most wealth is in housing and land...yet he continues to pour fuel on to the fire, how can we have the biggest downturn in 300 years, yet in a housing BOOM LOL

Who in their right mind would loan to Britain when its a financial basket case?

UK National Debt Surpassed £1 Trillion..The truth however is much worse, factoring in all liabilities including state and public sector pensions, the real national debt is closer to £4.8 trillion, some £78,000 for every person in the UK.

The currency issuer ( Quantitative easing Bank of England) cannot borrow its own currency. It can always afford anything in its own currency. We figured all this out 10 years ago.

A public bailout might have been easier for Barclays than this

Barclays should be given credit where it is due. In 2008 it raised enough money during its emergency cash call to allow it to avoid the public bailouts that would bring Lloyds and the Royal Bank of Scotland under state control.

But the bank has traded one set of woes for another. It has spent 13 years battling claims that a deal it struck with its Qatari investors was unfair to other shareholders, and the arguments are likely to continue for a few years yet.

Barclays did dodge the political pressure that plagued RBS following its £45bn bailout. That lender, rebranded as NatWest, had to slash bonuses, shrink its investment bank and rein in excesses. This has led to a persistently low share price for NatWest, delaying re-privatisation and leaving it majority state-owned.

Lloyds fared better, returning to the private market in less than a decade. Having taken a £20.3bn bailout in 2008, the group managed to report its first post-rescue profit in 2010 and returned to full private ownership by 2017.

Barclays chose a different path. Its former managers have plodded through two regulatory investigations, two criminal trials and a private lawsuit linked to its controversial £11bn emergency fundraising. While criminal courts found executives not guilty of wrongdoing in 2020, and a lawsuit involving the businesswoman Amanda Staveley was ruled in Barclays’ favour last week, it is still not out of the woods.

The Financial Conduct Authority has resumed an investigation put on hold during the Serious Fraud Office’s doomed criminal trial. In 2013, the regulator said it was likely to fine Barclays £50m for behaving “recklessly221; in the rescue deal. Barclays may also face an appeal over Friday’s high court ruling. It is unlikely to draw a line under the 2008 crisis any time soon.

the free market would rip the housing market apart, remove help to buy, i want to see this market try and stand on its own two feet.

i personally would take £2 trillion out the housing market and use it all on tax cuts and a job boom, time this country made work pay. up the personal allowence to £25,000 and lets get job productivity to 100% under me people would be begging for work.
