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

[growthpotential] 01/2/2020 23:44

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.

[deanmatlazin] 08/10/2019 08:13

Back to �60...at least!!

[spob] 08/10/2019 08:12

[eentweedrie] 07/10/2019 20:26

[arja] 07/10/2019 15:33

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 21:38

Go on then why?

[eentweedrie] 06/10/2019 17:23

[luderitz] 04/10/2019 21:58

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 08:56

Anymore news on the potential merger or not

[luderitz] 17/9/2019 22:34

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.

Why not take the three year view and enjoy the ride. This stock has been brilliant under increasingly bright and competent management ( a rare thing these days) Held this thing for twenty years and it has performed rather well and nothing I see re the Tompson Reuter’s deal ( with a bit more investment improving their margin enormously,tells me that it’s time to get off!
