Thanks. I didn't have you down as a bridge player somehow, jjim. Not come across the rubbery term before, which I read is used in sport generally. Always good to learn.

No more bridge stuff here, promise, CWA1.

Last word on the subject

Don t play bridge

Can barely play snap

Just read lots of high falluting books and just dropped it in there

Last word honest (on the subject)

Good weekend every one

What is the feeling about the price targetIt is all over the place per this threadPersonally I feel 260 is where I would get out

[bbd2] 06/9/2024 15:48

Net- no problem. All good here.

Some interesting posts here, thanks Trev and richie. The post XD drop hasn't offered up any real opportunity to buy more and everyone will be reinvesting!
What else are you watching Trev?
I got caught by the MNG pre XD drop, but in all honesty I could do with a dividend right now so not p'd off at all. If it was that easy we'd all be winners all of the time!

bbd2: Sorry - just read how my post might "SOUND" - it does read like an angry old man.

Sorry. It literally is because as I get older my world can shrink down to silly politics... To remain young I really need to ignore all political discussions.

Some great policies there, yump! Will you be standing next time?

Perhaps the market overall would improve if Labour stopped with the doom stuff. OK Boris was a deluded liar but at least he was positive. That counts for a lot. Imagine a football team with a moaning manager. Its infectious and its been going on since Covid.

Perhaps the “difficultR21; mantra is actually just as political as the Tories populist talk.

Our market depends on how others view the UK’s prospects. If they view us as a bunch of whinging poms, thats not helpful.

PS imo the whole culture needs to change from the “I deserve”, “its their fault”, “make a claim cos my hamster ate coffee with no warning on the jar” etc etc.

Make the claims for you parasites illegal for a start and introduce a non-profit agency to deal with claims.

Introduce hi-vis vests with shaming words on them, for rioting scum and give them Birmingham’s ring road to litter pick.

Woops I appear to be moaning.

Blimey net, you’ve gone a bit too macro there. My point was very simple, and directly relevant to L&G; who are in the process of selling Cala. Perhaps read my original post and not the tongue in cheek reply to P0pper!

bbd2: If you deduct the global stock market crash of 2008 (mainly due to right wing US economic policy under George Bush from 2001 to 2009) LABOUR and the CONSERVATIVE record - as far as LGEN price goes is about the same.

So you're point is party political and not relevant on a LGEN board during working day.

Eg Economic Crash is more George Bushs fault (senior partner) than Labour (The right wing press labeled Labour "Bush's poddle").

[bbd2] 06/9/2024 11:04

P0pper. We have a labour government now and a painful budget coming!

[cwa1] 06/9/2024 10:54

CWA1, ever so gently, nudges the thread away from too much Bridge chat, especially during market hours. Thanks all

[p0pper] 06/9/2024 10:44

bbd2, or a bad time if house prices are high, why sell if it's making money and it seems that builders are just about to hit good times???

[bbd2] 06/9/2024 10:23

A good time to be selling off Cala with house prices hitting a two year high.

jubberjim: Do you play bridge? I play duplicate bridge. (Scuse, CWA1.)

Vicki: The indian market has been rising - at least this fund has: FSSA Indian Subcontinent ...... I think you're over worrying about bumps in the road....

[skinny] 06/9/2024 09:37

jubberjim - a useful link :-

[vickiitwo2] 06/9/2024 09:26

The real drivers of the ftse is the US. Its quite clear to see thats all. US is extremely toppy and overbought and recession indicators are building. Last hope is a soft landing but its a very rare Phenonemon. US jobs report will point this afternoon.
No hope for uk PLC without the US. Uk is just a US tracker fund. Any company specific good news isnt enough by far

I hold PSON and BT - Both FTSE100 - both up at present (touchwood). So Vicki I'm not 100% certain you're right...
I mean why would Carlos Slim buy more BT if clever people (in the know - like you?) say its all going to fall?

[jubberjim] 06/9/2024 08:10

I stand corrected

I knew there were numbers coming out just didn't know which ones.

So thanks for clearing it up.

I would imagine quite a few on here play Bridge

I think today will be a dead rubber ?

Good luck
