Winner takes it all? Wonder if the Yanks will push on to bring about a regime change in Russia if UKR get the upper hand?

The more I think about RR the more I'm convinced TE's comments were nothing new really. Plenty of potential there I just want to see next set of results before getting back in.

M2 saw that Thursday night and got out at 8am Friday morning except for a tranche at 84p. I'm quite surprised it only fell by approx 5p to 109. I'm not expecting much more movement untill results day which I'm not expecting to be great, will reevaluate then.

The new boss of Rolls-Royce described the engineering giant as a "burning platform" and said the company's performance is "unsustainable".

Tufan Erginbilgic, a former executive at oil giant BP, told staff that they faced a "last chance" to change.

"Every investment we make, we destroy value," he told employees, according to the Financial Times.

Scruff your my work in progress.. you've agreed to cancel your Daily Telegraph subscription next step is to get you into baggy trousers and smoking weed.
I apologise if I leave you kinda startled like the funk off of Doritos. Which roughly translates to...
Because you are relatively unexperienced, my actions will surprise you as if you had inhaled the pungent aroma from a just opened bag of a particular brand of strong smelling chips.

When the young black RAC man arrives and looks at you with sympathy you must say...
I call all the shots, rip all the spots, Rock all the rocks, cop all the drops. Which roughly translates to....
I tell everyone what to do & make all the decisions. I'm on my way to a popular location wearing my
best diamond jewellery in my convertible automobile.

From todays Sunday Times...
"Bank of England predicts shallower and shorter recession.
The Bank of England will upgrade its outlook for the economy on Thursday when it is expected to raise interest rates to 4 per cent to tame inflation.

Its current forecast is for a recession that lasts eight quarters and includes a peak-to-trough fall in gross domestic product of 2.9 per cent, but the Bank is now expected to say the downturn will be shorter and shallower than initially feared.

The less gloomy outlook is in part because expectations for interest rates — used to set the backdrop for its forecasts — have fallen since the Bank’s last update, which took place amid the market mayhem after Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget.

His replacement as chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, set out on Friday a “plan for growth” and an ambition to halve the rate of inflation, which appears to have peaked at 11.1 per cent in October but fell only from 10.7 per cent in November to 10.5 per cent last month.

Since the Bank’s last forecasts in November, data for the economy has been more upbeat, according to Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics. In November the Bank had expected GDP to fall 0.5 per cent in the third quarter and 0.3 per cent in the fourth. Instead GDP fell 0.3 per cent in the third quarter and it looks as if the economy might avoid contracting in the fourth quarter, Dales said. Sanjay Raja, senior economist at Deutsche Bank, said he expected the Bank to halve the length of the recession to four quarters. At Barclays, economists expect the extent of the downturn also to be halved, to 1.5 per cent.

Economists will be looking for guidance about how much further the Bank expects to raise interest rates, which have been increased from 0.1 per cent in December 2021 to 3.5 per cent a year later, and also the split among the nine members of the monetary policy committee (MPC), which is chaired by the Bank’s governor, Andrew Bailey. Last time, two members voted not to raise at all. The markets expect rates to peak at about 4.5 per cent.

Raja said he expected the MPC to refrain from talking about “forceful̶1; rises in rates any more, which would suggest smaller rises would follow this one. Economists see the decision to raise by half a percentage point this week, rather than a quarter point, as “finely balanced” as the economy slows.

But the Bank has been concerned that the unemployment rate, which at 3.7 per cent is its lowest since the early 1970s, will fuel wage growth and inflation if people are able to afford higher prices. Wage growth is running at 6.4 per cent, which might be a concern to the Bank, which is supposed to keep inflation at 2 per cent.

Even though the Bank will raise its forecasts, Hunt has been warned by the fiscal watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, that it will be cutting its forecasts — which were more optimistic than the Bank’s.

Both the Federal Reserve, America’s central bank, and the European Central Bank, are expected to raise interest rates this week. The Fed is expected to raise its target range by a quarter of a point to 4.5 to 4.75 per cent, according to Barclays, while the ECB will raise by a half a percentage point from 2 per cent."

Buybacks are favoured by BOD as they invariably increase EPS, and Management bonus's are linked to rising EPS.
