Quite spectacular earlier.

MrP - the Wednesday was excellent - if very breezy.

Breakfast on the front at Milford,a walk along the beech at Barton, followed by a visit to Highcliff castle and a wander around new Milton.

A view to the needles from Highcliff.

I think I might look to top up on some UU. & NG. after this weeks falls, already have enough SSE.

The IMF has forecast that Britain would enjoy the fastest growth of the major economies this year as growth slows for the other G7 nations.

Good Morning.

4/7 for me too this week.

Skinny, you had the good weather then! The utilities have been hammered for three days in a row now.

As for the pound, this is getting extremely challenging now.

So what has oil done since it broke up out of that triangulation?

Good Morning.

Plenty of posts to catch up on!

What happened to the utilities yesterday?

My FTSE short was closed by limit for +40 - we are now 20 points lower.



4/7.

-0.46% for the Folio.

Worst value fallers : PPC -22% [later -35.5%], PHTM -5.5%[xd], BEZ -1.8%, NG. -1.9%, UU. -2.2%.

Highest value risers : GVC +1.2%, TCN +5.6%, PEW +1.2%, BGO +3.9%.

For the second time this week I had to throw the towel in, this morning it was PPC, biting the bullet on a troublesome well drill in Argentina, even having Schlumberger & Baker Hughes as contractors. The good news that's the last of my overpaid for explo small cap oilers. Might be worth a revisit in future though when the co has sorted the problem.

Problem is you do not know how thing should be, only how they are.
Seems the problem addressed for me could be genetic and have been there from birth, however at an early age you can compensate for it and thus are not aware of it.
There are other causes however.

The difference is vast by now my eyes would normally have been getting rather knackered. I can also read the letters on the keys.
I have always had to two finger type.
I am wondering if I might try multi finger typing.

the quick brown dog jumped right over the lazy black fox

Think it needs a bit of practise.

[mrphil] 06/10/2016 16:55

Dead right freddie! Worth checking your eyes for sure, you only get one set!

[aleman] 06/10/2016 16:51

Thanks for the advice, ff. Seems I am okay.

-0.1% today.

Wind stopped the generous sunshine feeling warm again. It felt quite chilly on the morning school run. 16.7C after 7.9C.

We are short on numbers for the quiz tonight. We have not done so well of late anyway. I'm getting out of touch as I pretty much stopped watching TV after my stint in hospital, apart from football and a few recorded comedy shows. I just got fed up of all the doom and gloom and propaganda. I gave up reading the papers a few years ago for similar reasons. It's probably a sign of getting well into grumpy old man territory.

[mrphil] 06/10/2016 16:51

SIPP -0.63% UU., SSE & NG (deja vu) and the pot -0.23% AIEA, MACF & VER

Annoyingly, MACF has been on my list to reduce for a while now but I keep telling myself there was no reason for it to fall so I've stuck with it.

[freddie ferret] 06/10/2016 16:34

Seems we are all writing posts together.

Gold seems to be being hammered when New York opens, same trend for several days now.

As well as UU. SVT and NG. have also been hammered.

Oil is still rising, £ still falling, but less so against the Swiss franc.

FTSE should be breaking out but is not doing so, I think it may be what Theresa is saying.

Possibly other factors.

Colder now but wind not as strong.

Large tomato is starting to turn from green to pink, flowers still out.

Have been to the optician and have been prescribed specs with a decent prism as well as the astigmatism and shortsightedness correction. Have just picked them up and they are making an awesome difference. Basically I no longer have multiple images before my eyes. I should have got this done (the prism that is) 40 years ago. I think this had a significant effect on my education.

FWIIW hold a finger upright in front of your eyes, look at it with your right eye then with your left eye, then look at it with both eyes. Try this at several distances. If you see more than one image you may have a problem. When reading newspapers do you see multiple images and jump between them particularly when your eyes are tired?
Do you sometimes hit the wrong key when typing, hitting the key next door?
Do you read or look at screens with one eye, shutting the other or covering it?

If the answer to these questions is yes tell an optician about it DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO FIND IT.

That would be a sad loss to Leeds Aleman.

Looks like a complete re-run of yesterday, same fallers, similar amount.

[aleman] 06/10/2016 16:23

Sheesh - pound now $1.262 and just over Euro 1.13.

[aleman] 06/10/2016 10:49

My dad worked here a long time ago and I still know a bit about it. This IS likely to happen and will be bad for Leeds. It's highly capital intensive and pays well. There will be significant knock-on effects to suppliers and local businesses.



Ironically, oil is looking perky again at nearly $52.

[mrphil] 06/10/2016 09:34

Morning All.

We only saw 15.8°C yesterday but it was a lovely day with wall to wall sunshine and still 13.18kwh from the solar pv with 3.46kwh of that going to the immersion heater. A chilly low of 7.6°C last night, but still fairly bright this morning.

Just had to buy a few USD at the worst rate ever 1.2743 so that will increase our costs. Still avoiding Euros but I need some by the end of next week.

[blueliner] 05/10/2016 19:21

Managed to hang on to some of yesterday's gains but going down -1.15%.
[FTSE250 -0.77%]

Worst value fallers : NG. -2%, UU -4.4%, BEZ -1.7%.

Highest value riser : MCLS +1.8%.

Tobacco stocks suffered as well as Russia possibly to raise cigarette taxes. Have reduced my IMB holding recently though by taking some worthwhile profits.

[mrphil] 05/10/2016 17:24

RBC downgraded United Utilities to ‘underperform’ from ‘sector perform’, also on valuation, noting 4% implied total return, but lifted the price target to 1,000 from 975p.

How can they downgrade it but give a higher price target at the same time? Then the price falls below their original (lower) price target!

[aleman] 05/10/2016 17:20

Bad luck, MrP. +0.1% for me and a new high, I think. Still probably a little follow through from the weak pound offsetting some minor losses. MCLS keep creeping up. Been on a good run of late.

Mostly sunny again but not feeling quite so warm thanks to a cool breeze. I was surprised to find the thermometer actually reached 17.5C.

Just made a big pan of mash to go with a casserole. I was disappointed to find I used up a whole bag of spuds. I checked to find the weight of the bag was only 1.75Kg. The supermarkets keep shrinking the size of everything!

[mrphil] 05/10/2016 16:52

Awful day for my lot, with the SIPP falling by a shocking -1.24% thanks to UU., SSE & NG. whilst the pot almost held it's own at -0.09% nearly all due to SGC

Shopping at TSCO again tonight to use up some vouchers, then back for Our Girl whilst recording DCI Banks.

[freddie ferret] 05/10/2016 16:12

A lot of the fish were hooverd up by foreign boats fishing right close inshore. Not so easy to catch fish beach fishing these days, if you catch bass they have to be put back.
This is why we need to get back our fishing waters and ban foreign boats.

The gold market has been interesting, I think there may be some nuggets of truth in this article though I do not like King World News.
