Market Makers prefer to be "short"
If they hold stock, like everyone, they have to pay for the stock they own.
Finance has a cost to their profit so, for obvious reasons, they prefer not to be long.
There are exceptions, of course.

Last little observation, stocks go down a lot quicker than they go up..
That suits every professional trader...
Much quicker profit..

So they've stopped us going in shops and now they are penalizing us for shopping online.

Sunak, instead of punishing the British public for the Chinese virus slap the Chinese government with bigger taxes on their imported goods. They under declare package values anyway..

With the Tory automatic impulse to tax tax tax, you would think that they are socialists.

If there was an election tomorrow, Conservatives would be kicked out, and that from a life Tory supporter...

Eurostar on brink of collapse: French state-owned rail service BEGS for UK help

The cross-Channel train service, which is majority-owned by the French state, came begging to Britain after exhausting its options with Paris. The company said a 95 percent slump in passenger numbers during the pandemic has brought the service to its knees. It said: “Without additional funding from the Government, there is a real risk to the survival of Eurostar… the current situation is very serious.”

Sunak talking about extending Furlough beyond April. That would reduce risk on Banks. Let them carry down a lot of those huge bad debt reserves back to profits! Reporting season not far away...dividend payments coming again. USA banks results all going well...

MM's were shaking all week as they start stocking up on easy shares before selling them higher over the next few weeks... imho

NatWest plunged into row over transgender rights and role of big companies in political debates

Baroness Sheila Noakes – a former Shadow Treasury Minister and ex-director at NatWest and the Bank of England – has blasted the bank for intervening in a debate about the laws around people transitioning from one gender to another. She said it was not the role of large corporations like NatWest to spread 'woke nonsense'.

Nice 'Soft Words' from a Chancellor who is BROKE. Minimum Taxes and Revenue is been paid to the Treasury, because MOST now are on the DOLE. Claiming not Paying. Thanks to COMMUNIST CHINA This is to 'Soften you all up'. - until we get past the May Local Elections, because they know full well, they are going to be voted OUT..

Rishi Sunak rejects wealth tax: Chancellor WON'T bring in a one-off levy to cover the £280billion spent fighting coronavirus




Instead, Trump gave the American public a $2,000 tax break, then punished Communist China for their plague with an import tax bringing factories back home and creating 6 million new jobs in Trumps 4 years..

Reference my CV-19 post above, the expert has changed her tune a bit - has she been 'nobbled', to avoid potential general panic? - to explain that there are two variants in Brazil and the one just discovered in the UK is thought to be less concerning than the other one. So that's alright then!

Probably there will be some questions at the news conference on this, we may be a little wiser afterwards.

a coronavirus mutating, who'd have thought.
Oh wait, this is what we know they do, hence we catch colds and flu every winter.

Maybe now people will start to wake up and realise that this isn't a foe that we can all rise up together against and defeat, and stop thinking that a vaccine will be the great panacea, but realise that this is actually something that we have to live with (like we have for eternity), and that the solution is for individuals to take responsibility for their own health and well being. starting with eating better, taking supplements if necessary, and keeping fit by taking regular exercise. Everyone these days just seems to want a quick easy fix, so they probably won't do this.

It seems the Brazil variant has been discovered in the UK. One expert is saying that there is some concern that the existing vaccines MAY NOT be effective against it, but it is much too early to know.

If that is how it goes eventually, the implications don't bear thinking about, at all levels.

MARKET REPORT: Investors down tools at housebuilder Persimmon with shares down 6.2% as it warns of an uncertain few months ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic

It also warned of the pandemic's effect on 'unemployment levels and consumer confidence', which could damage house-buying, the impact of an end to the stamp duty holiday, and increased customs duties on supplies imported from the EU due to Brexit.

Trump becomes first president to be impeached for a SECOND TIME with Republicans joining Democrats to charge him with 'incitement of insurrection' 232-197 - as McConnell rules out trial until after he leaves office (but hints he'll convict)




President Trump's voters are standing by their candidate despite the attack on the Capitol:

• 91% would vote for the president again
• 73% say the election system is "rigged"
• 67% believe Trump would win if the votes were counted "fairly"

House is voting. It's live on 231.

[polar fox] 13/1/2021 14:37

Timing, from CNN:

How Wednesday will go

At 9 a.m. ET, the House will convene to begin consideration of impeachment. The first debate will last about an hour and it will revolve around the rules governing the impeachment article.
After that, the House votes on the rule.
Reminder that voting in the House takes time because of coronavirus protocols (and now metal detectors, which was its own scene Tuesday night as Republicans lashed out at police and fellow members when they were asked to go through them to get to the House floor).
Once the House passes the rule in the early afternoon, the House will proceed to a two-hour debate.
Final vote will begin between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET. As with all important votes in times of coronavirus, these things are a bit fluid in terms of timing. The resolution is expected to pass.

It should be voted on before our bedtime!
