Choo Choo for the divi express. XD on the horizon. |
Back from holiday and it's great to see circa 3200 after everything that's happened since the results along with what's going on in Trumpland too.
Agree that a re test of the recent highs looks very possible in the coming months.
Good luck all 👍🏻 |
The 12 month trend support line very much intact here after a single daily candle printed under 3000 pence, now back onto 3200, 3400 next, possibly 3600 over H1 but there will of course be zig-zags along the way pre/post next XD 27.03.2025, Capital Group going from 16 to 17% last week will surely add support ..:o) |
Should be capable of hitting 3600 here. |
Indeed fenners66 a strong dollar/weaker GBP is better for BAT UK shareholders and dividends paid in sterling with 40% of revenues derived from the US. |
Yeah sorry my post was misinterpreted i should've been more specific and said 'lack of dollar strength' |
He mentioned the £ was up so I guess he meant £ strength against the $. |
Redbaron - US $ strength HELPS earnings not hurts. |
Biggest shareholder here Capital group increased stake from 16- to 17% |
"Risk on" yesterday.... "risk off" today , utilities selling off as well. |
typical a slow decent run up then rapidly falls off a cliff at break neck speed SHOCKING !!!!!! happens every time |
Yesterday was a 'fear on' day and BATS rose as a 'defensive' stock.
Today it's 'fear off' and yesterday's move has been retraced. Something to do with Trump and tariffs I think.
That's my take on the price action. Of course, that's maybe another way of explaining dollar moves... |
No tobacco news that I can see.Probably dollar strength hurting earnings GBp/USd up to 1.28 |
Yes, very big drop. What have we missed? |
Why the drop today? |
codename ‘Krasnovâ€....translated 'Agent Orange'. I am sure the CIA would know if Trump was a spy.....I mean to say he's not the brightest is he. I am sure it has been reported that he used to have a lapel pin, albeit discreet, which had 'kgb' on it. |
Petersinthemarket "''A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’."

Why wait 6 years to come out with this nugget!
Because of what is going on now is why... |

Everyone is overly indebted. Economies are slowing, populations are soaring, but National Debts keep rising.
Not sustainable. |

Nice juicy gap up there |
As soon as you said newsnight (BBC) I stopped reading. |
Apologies I didn't want to turn this thread into a political debate thread. Please revert back to only discussing BAT |
 The US bankrolls the Defence of Europe (it's contributions to NATO are huge) and that's before its $860bn annual defence budget.
US National Debt is $36 trillion and rising.
I'm not surprised the Americans have had enough as theyre effectively bust. The debt is unpayable, so theyll continue printing their currency into oblivion...

The UN is a busted flush, a knocking shop for the same corrupt world leaders as the League of Nations became.
It's time has come.
UK should also leave the UN and NATO - sign a defence pact with CANUKS - leave the Europeans to finance their own defence. Last thing UK wants, or needs, is to get needlessly dragged into a European war. We are woefully unprepared, underfunded(national Debt out of control here too) and the size of the Armed forces is risible.
We need to spend 5% of GDP on defence, ramp up personnel numbers, for war is coming.
The longer we stay out of it, the longer we have to prepare |
