Winds me up personally as when people 'WFH' they arrange meetings or send pointless emails just to make out they are doing something.. in between housework, cooking, gardening, walking the dog or cleaning the car..

GNR
I disagree with most of that - though not all. The short/not short debate has gone on for years. Shorting leads to volatility rather than liquidity imo and has destroyed some otherwise healthy companies. It should at least be restricted.

Little O'l wine drinkers will pay a minimum of 40p more on an average bottle of glogg when a complex post BREXIT rule is implemented next year. Vintage Associates will loose out on 10 year futures, as the time related (ABV) alcohol content heightens, so will the duty, plus cost of optimal wine storage facilities in bonded warehouses which have doubled with energy costs alone so, for that reason I shan't be investing today LOL!

20 dirt-cheap British stocks experts say could make you a fortune.

7) LLOYDS BANKING GROUP (FTSE100)

Ninety One's Ben Needham says Lloyds should offer investors 'an excellent cash return story' in the coming years.

This will come in the form of a compelling dividend (2.76p a share in the 2023 financial year) and a strong share price return, driven in part by the company buying back its shares (reducing the number in issue), so increasing the chance of the shares going up in price.

'At the current share price,' says Needham, 'Lloyds shares should generate mid-teen annual returns for investors.'

Another Lloyds fan is Interactive Investor's Richard Hunter. He says the bank's move to a more digital business (closing offices and branches) will 'reap rewards' in the form of improved margins (bigger profits).

He is also encouraged by the bank returning to its previous reputation as a 'provider of large shareholder returns.' A 'progressive' dividend policy, adds Hunter, has resulted in an annual dividend equivalent to 5.4 per cent – 'tempting for income seeking investors.'

The shares trade at around 51p.

It will hurt if punters have already spent this years ISA

Think at the very least the Buyback should be temporarily suspended.

Reinstate when conditions improve and take the shorters to the cleaners.

In the meantime it wouldn't be a bad idea to ban shorting indefinitely while the current uncertainty prevails

Was it just a drone/missile firing exercise?...flexing military fire power...why would Iran fore warn the world that they had fired drones/missiles towards Israel...last night media reporters were quoting 100's...

[hardup1] 14/4/2024 05:29

Kicking off in middle east now. Swivel eyed ayatollahs in Tehran escalating tensions by firing hundreds of drones at Israel in retaliation for Israel strike on it's consulate in Syria. Token gesture knowing none will get through. No doubt there will be panic in the Markets on Monday morning.

I give up on the Telegraph. Its as bad as any cheap tabloid. 'Iran launches 'massive' drone attack on Israel'
Even the Express keeps it to ' a number' of drones and explains that they will take 2 hrs to reach Israel and they are being monitored by the IAF.

News Papers (so called) have joined the rest of the rubble of our once dignified and principled way of life. Just so much trash written by semi educated, semi intelligent young 'uni' leavers. The days of the mountainous piles fresh of the presses at the crack of dawn have given way to snippets on the social media type version deeply buried between bigger stories about the more important Love Island and transgender activist pop stars and the Kardashians and Katie Price etc
