CASSINI: I bought a few shares in a company as a teenager years and years ago. I used to love getting the paper and seeing if it went up or down that day..
I should imagine many teenagers nowadays would like to own a fraction of a Tesla share or amazon for the same reason - perhaps a whole share!

Thanks Salamander69: that probably explains the spike near 4pm

Yesterday, the Chairman of Tesco estimated food prices, in the event of ND, would increase by 3-5%, in broad terms. Raab was asked about it this morning and dodged giving an answer, saying he would need to refer elsewhere etc. A food pricing expert was just interviewed on R4 and he agrees with 3-5%, ballpark, with tariffs accounting for a significant portion of it.

Ken Clarke just said that ND will do more damage to the UK economy than CV-!9. He should know.

UVL just made a short statement on camera, nothing new. But she ended it with "we will take a decision on Sunday". I think it means everyone is aware the decision has to be announced while the markets are closed.

Sunday is the 13th, of course.

14 PERCENT OF MERCEDES-BENZE CARS + BMW ARE ARE SOLD IN THE UK

To quote Treason May, no deal,is better than a bad deal. We are not time constrained,call the EU bluff,watch them spin round and round,blaming each other. Then if they wish,come back some time in the new year and negotiate with a Sovreign nation,with respect.

My take is that it will be No Deal.

If it is handled properly - a big IF with this bunch of clowns, headed by a buffoon - I would expect a statement/TV address on Sunday, before markets begin re-opening from 9.00pm.

Tesco admits to stockpiling and warns of empty shelves to come, as I've been warning.
Pretty soon, it will be time to look after No.1 and one's family and loved ones first. A couple of weeks remain to prepare as best one can.

Well it's certainly an increase in flexibility for investors but speaking personally I've never come across a share so expensive I couldn't buy about the number I wanted (I don't buy FAANG stocks).

My most expensive share was about £20/share - no big deal. As for buying small amounts - again, is this an app aimed at people with very little disposable income, as I personally wouldn't see the point in buying £2 of shares (their minimum buy). Do people who have very little money even buy shares anyway?

Commission free investing is the real advantage I reckon - people can trade and/or buy small amounts without invoking a significant fee.

What do you think of that new app that lets you buy fractions of shares? It seems a great idea to me...

FREETRADE:

I also topped up on these this week - but my initial buy in was back around 220p so I reckon my average is still around 200p. Should have been buying more aggressively really when the price was really depressed...

[netcurtains] 09/12/2020 11:30

pe 6.48p
Its crouched down now for a bounce.
I bought a few more.
Never can tell if I guess right.

PM meeting UVL tomorrow evening in Brussels - confirmed.

Meantime, Barnier says he now expects No Deal.

[gcom2] 08/12/2020 17:05

trade deal talks go to the wire for the 4737rd time, idiots

[netcurtains] 08/12/2020 08:04

thanks for the list however I think the link is broken - you must have inadvertently (and rather embarrassingly by the looks of it) posted the wrong link. But thanks for trying.

Do you have your promised "brexit dividend" (remember that bus)have you invested it aboard?

I'm still waiting for mine - I dont think the NHS ever received theirs - weird that. it was such a big deal.

Must be lost in the post (also sold off to raise money).

[boxerdogz] 08/12/2020 07:45

Yes I do Net curtains

re fall in value of pound today: Does anyone have a list of FTSE100 companies that have their accounts in dollars?

[netcurtains] 07/12/2020 16:35

If anyone is interested in the fishermen thing this is it:
Permira own Birds Eye Fish Fingers. In 1996, the UK, French, German & Italian teams joined together to create Schroder Ventures Europe. It raised its first pan European fund. Looks for a Target EBITDA of $1,000 mm - $1,500 mm.
So could be that Brexit destroys Fishfingers...

[boxerdogz] 07/12/2020 16:28

netcurtains = typical retort of a Remainer . Well done and good luck investing / trading or what ever it is you do

[netcurtains] 07/12/2020 16:24

Cool Boxerdogz - meanwhile the price is down....
If BRexit was so wonderful the FTSE would not be the worst performing stock market in the world.
Everyone would be rushing here to put their money in the FTSE100 - especially our banks.
