a TICK FROM ME FOR MINNY'S SHORTING POST. soz caps.

Cheshire pete, you have to go back to the origins of the stock market to see that shorting is the antithesis of what it's all about. It's really for outfits without resources to get the resources in a shared way, and then those putting up the cash to reap the benefits, whether sailing boats sailing the seas to pinch other country's gold and sharing it out, or to invest in finding drugs for covid.

Shorting is destructive. Investing is constructive. It destroys companies and jobs, it makes comany's jobs hard to raise capital and employ people doing useful things.

I know all the arguments - they're all just nonsense in my view, spouted by kid shorters and those who like to say 'it's all too complicated for the likes of you, jealousy gets you nowhere'. All sheep supporting basically the destruction we have seen the last couple of weeks, making intensely rich even more rich in a low risk manner (that last bit is never appreciated). Not talking about bb posters, but those who already have billions.

Boris daren't ban shorting because he knows the backlash he'd get - pound trashed and stock market even more knackered. The hard bit is the first billion, it's simples after that if you're in with the right crowd.

(i support covered shorting, where your net hodlings don't go negative, and forward options but not traded options. Anything at all used by non productive or even anti-productive gamblers should be examined.)

The palace said.. "the queen is in good health " They never said she had the test and is negative...

BJ last met with the Queen on March 11 - official. She is probably OK then.

I thought Meghan said she wouldn't move to America whilst Trump was President.

I do love a woman of principle.

What's wrong with Liberal Canada then?

It gives Cummings the chance to catch it from Boris and develop the herd immunity - or was that for other people?

Post-Brexit talks in 'deep freeze'

Planned negotiating rounds on the UK’s future relationship with the EU have been abandoned as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with Boris Johnson’s government still to table a comprehensive legal text for both sides to work on.

During a European commission briefing on Thursday, envoys for the EU capitals were told that holding negotiations via video-conferencing had so far proved impossible.

The two sides are trying to find a way to maintain dialogue in the coming weeks and months to kickstart the talks, but preparation, have been ditched because of the unfolding crisis.

The fact that the UK was still to table a legal text added an extra layer of difficulty, EU sources said.

The European commission published a 441-page draft treaty on 13 March that covers every aspect of the future relationship.

Despite Downing Street’s public insistence that a similarly comprehensive text would be tabled earlier this month, EU sources said the UK had tabled only four documents covering trade, transport, aviation and nuclear cooperation.

London has not tabled legal text on significant issues including security cooperation or fisheries, and nor has it made its texts public.
