The headline is the high point, after that it goes back to normal: end of the world etc etc.







Min and his mates have excelled themselves in the comment section:

Self loathing is a growth industry!

Well, if we all got £15K gifts for holidays we wouldn't need a pay rise would we Boris?

Prime Ministers should not be allowed to accept personal gifts from anyone. I don't think it is allowed for US presidents (if I remember rightly) and I don't think it should be allowed here in the UK.

They are very cyclical and you can end-up getting very burnt if you are not careful. Ref house builders: their balance sheets are looking very good and their land banks are healthy with good potential profits ahead.

If I was looking a fresh at my list I would probably be considering CSP, MGNS, COST and CRST if that helps.

Minerve: Jesting apart, interesting to see the bias towards property and construction. Normally steer clear of these because cyclical with boom then recession but sense sector could be strong for some time now. Will take a look at them.
O/T LLOY, but also construction sector, looked at VANL a while back with HS2 ground work in mind but they'd had problems then, up > 6% today though. Recall Jarvis doing well on the back of rail work years back.

"Minerve, made a quick turn in LLOY today instead of writing carp on here all day, open 56.85p closed 57.49 kerching, happy days lol."

Oh yes, well done. 🙄

In addition to writing "carp on here all day" I've been watching my 12 month+ investments in BDEV, CRST, CSP, RGL, BREE, FORT, COST, MGNS, SRP.... I did tell this thread over 12 months ago that despite my position on Remain I was invested in UK domestic stocks that were showing good value.

Brussels are like a wounded animal, they're fighting for their last breath.What sound do porcupines make when they kiss?Ouch! Lol....

Unless we adopt the standard of Germany, France etc, and simply ignore what we dont like.

After all, what can they do? It takes years to bring something like that to court.

Are we in or out?...




Less than two weeks after leaving the European Union, the U.K. is already back in trouble with the bloc.

While Brexit day was meant to enable Britain to finally throw off the shackles of the Brussels bureaucracy, the U.K. government now finds itself having to answer questions over an obscure transport tax that the EU doesn’t like. It’s a dispute that has the potential to end up in court.

It’s a stark reminder that although the country technically ended its 47-year membership of the EU on Jan. 31, a transition period that extends throughout 2020 means it’s still bound by the bloc’s rules and jurisdiction. While Britain doesn’t get a say in any decisions or policy making, EU law applies in full.

Lloyds is perking up today; so someone's listening.

[poikka] 12/2/2020 16:33

This is what you get when you're too well paid, cosseted and removed from reality. I mean, wtf do they think they are?

"The European Parliament has approved a tough opening position for talks with the UK on its future relationship with the EU.

MEPs called on the UK to follow EU policies in a host of areas as the price for an ambitious free trade deal.

These range from chemicals regulation to climate change, food labelling and subsidies for companies.

This should be with "a view to dynamic alignment" - code for the UK adopting European rules as they are introduced.

The wide-ranging resolution also called for measures to ensure that Brexit does not cause gender discrimination, for a crackdown on tax havens with links to the UK, and for a joint UK-EU position at the upcoming UN climate conference in Glasgow in November."
