What Harry and Meg are doing is simple laughable. Created their own website using Royal references and names to say they are stepping back from Royal duty but want to keep their house and other Royal privileges is ridiculous.

They are acting like a couple of adolescent, love struck imbeciles.

Royal snowflakes, for sure.

Patriotism and republicanism are not mutually exclusive.

[cheshire pete] 10/1/2020 11:51

I do, but then I'm a patriot.

Who gives a toss about the Royals ?

The Institutional Traders have and are always in control of the share price so we'll only see "optimism" when they decide to cash in their short.

History is made as MPs FINALLY formally approve Brexit deal by 330 to 231 after three years of bitter wrangling and deadlock



•EU Withdrawal Bill has been given its third reading by the House of Commons

•It is the final major hurdle that the so-called WAB had to clear in the Commons

•Legislation will now head to the House of Lords for further scrutiny next week

•Government hoping WAB becomes law by January 22, UK leaves EU January 31

•Result of today's vote was never in doubt after Boris Johnson's election victory



MPs have finally given their formal backing to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal after more than three years of bitter parliamentary wrangling over the UK’s departure from the European Union.

The historic EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill cleared the Commons this afternoon - despite Labour opposition - as MPs gave the draft legislation its third reading by 330 votes to 231, a majority of 99.

It is the final major Commons hurdle which the so-called WAB had to navigate and it will now head to the House of Lords next week for further scrutiny before the UK leaves the EU on January 31.

Remainer peers are expected to table a wave of amendments but ministers are confident that the Lords will eventually bow to the will of the elected House.




They hope the WAB - the legislation which is needed to deliver an orderly Brexit at the end of the month - will make it onto the UK statute book by January 22.

Today’s vote represented a huge symbolic moment as the nation prepares to split from Brussels.

Mr Johnson’s crushing general election victory in December meant the passage of the WAB was a formality after the battle to deliver Brexit tormented the previous two Tory administrations.

However, while the UK's legal departure from the bloc now looks certain to take place at 11pm on January 31, the struggle over the UK’s future relationship with the EU is only just getting started.

We've all been given the Royal 'V' sign.
Carry on and be independent.
But it's been disgraceful way the Queen and Prince Charles
have been disrespected.

In certain circles it was naughtily named a degree marriage.

[scruff1] 10/1/2020 11:24

Alp. Get that and agree. (dont agree its being overshorted - be a dangerous strategy imo - not much runway left for that). But surely there must be some optimism. Now the ball rollin there are opportunities to be seen inBrexit. Also almost certain to be a house building programme. That and lower interest rates (personally dont think it will happen) will give scope for more mortgage lending. Somethi n more than doom an bleedin gloom please from somewhere

[cheshire pete] 10/1/2020 11:17

Yes stoned we are leaving. Now Boris has made the commitment, we will not only leave but we have to be seen to have left, which means no behind the scenes skulduggery with the EU to stay in.

The worry is that Lloyds rumours in the past have usually been correct. Commercial provisions plus lower interest rates?

[alphorn] 10/1/2020 10:59

Stoned - anyone who has a sole focus on Lloyds must be a fool; but then I doubt that you own one share and probably think that short relates to someone's height. Stoned - the king of fools.

[alphorn] 10/1/2020 10:56

Many believe that these models to steal PI money are dead - no, they are better disguised.

[alphorn] 10/1/2020 10:54

Pierre is completely correct with his #175.

I would add that the use of funds and particularly fund of funds etc is verging on the criminal. There is so little to be made from investment that the ability to move funds around and pocket commissions as they go is too tempting for the unscrupulous. To make matters worse some agreements are geared for up front commissions by placing penalties of early withdrawals etc.

One of the biggest frauds in history was the IOS scandal where the funds were so big that they moved global markets. A great book on the subject is "Do you sincerely want to be rich". Bernie Cornfeld & Co.

@Graham,

"I hope the courts throw all this out. The idea that any time an investment doesn't work out, you have a legal claim against someone, is profoundly unhealthy"

Agree.

It was always obvious that Unquoted illiquid stocks and OEICS/Unit Trusts were not very good bedfellows. Woodford screwed up, should have gone the Investment trust route for his excessive unquoted weightings.

That's why I never invested in any of his funds despite following his "blue chip - high yield approach" for years.

grahamite is asleep at the wheel; the gains of being bearish GBP have been significant. He is so fixed on Lloyds as the only share in town that he has completely missed the other opportunities.
