lovely chart but what a puny dividend - irrelevant I guess if good capital appreciation . But can get a good dividend combined with a good looking chart with utilities and most building stocks .

Learn what moves markets when

Yeh, how's that working out for ya?

[thamestrader] 31/1/2020 10:16

I am firmly AGAINST shortening LSE's hours. Here's why....

1. More news, good or bad, will happen while LSE is closed, resulting in even more/bigger gapping up/down at the open, while little people like me are excluded from the action.

2. It's my hobby, why would I want less access?

3. LSE punches above its weight partly because it has long hours, bridges other key markets.

4. They keep saying Wall Street has shorter hours. This is because the USA is a massive economy, a leader, not a sheep, it can get away with it. It also cannot open before California (3 or 4 hours behind) wakes up, and needs to let people home before NY grinds to a halt in the evenings.

5. They keep saying work-life balance and mental health. Ever heard of shift work? They could shorten peoples' hours and have early late shifts. Also means they wouldn't have to travel in the rush-hour, taking strain off them and our bursting-at-the-seams transport system.

They need to enact a break of a couple of hours from midday then I could get my lunch and siesta done by NY opening!!

Amizon and ebay are in talks to take over share trading for buying and selling. This would be great no city rip off merchants.

[spob] 08/10/2019 07:12

[eentweedrie] 07/10/2019 19:26

[arja] 07/10/2019 14:33

very high p/e but seems to be of no concern to the market and chart still looks good ( main thing I guess)

[luderitz] 06/10/2019 20:38

Go on then why?

[eentweedrie] 06/10/2019 16:23

[luderitz] 04/10/2019 20:58

The LSE have failed the Alternative Investment Market by failure to regulate it.

But Li isn’t backing down in his bid to merge the two stock exchanges.

“Together we complete each other,” he said, adding that it would enable round-the-clock operations once the Hong Kong exchange is able to take advantage of trading during European hours.

The merger deal is less about finding cost synergies and more about benefiting from the “tidal wave of opportunities” such a move would bring, HKEX’s boss added.

More mileage here me thinks.

[red5] 18/9/2019 07:56

Anymore news on the potential merger or not

[luderitz] 17/9/2019 21:34

I don’t disagree GM but I like to trade shorter term and whilst in at the moment I will be out with a gain that suits me in time.
