Good day, SIPP +0.37% top risers CTO, DX. & BRCI and an even better +0.57% for the pot after a surge from AMS helped by RR. & LLOY

Out this evening to discuss the next Stag run which will be next month when hopefully the weather gets a bit better.

Conclusion to Apple Tree Yard will need to be recorded!

Sounds like a second hand 3.0 V6 Petrol F-Pace could be worth looking at!

Aleman - from your link :-

"What has the reaction been?

Wall Street is ecstatic, with the financial sector index climbing 2 per cent on Friday. Banks have rallied 25 per cent since Mr Trump's election win, adding $US460 billion ($600 billion) to their market value.

Consumer groups, meanwhile, are horrified and Mr Trump will have to watch out for a backlash from some of his base, as financial regulation was very popular following the home foreclosures during the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the President campaigned on an anti-Wall Street platform.

It is likely that, if the Dodd-Frank act is emasculated, shares in Australian banks will rally.

Already, on news of Mr Trump's initial moves to unwind the law, local banks have made substantial gains. Three of the big four banks have climbed more than 1 per cent each, while ANZ had lifted 0.7 per cent by 12:33pm (AEDT)."

They will increase tax on diesel and the price of petrol will rise as demand increases relative to what fractional distillation can produce at current prices. All we need is oil to go to $100 and you'll be paying 150p per litre.


Has Trump already screwed those who voted for him?

The next few years should be quite exciting in electric vehicle development

[aleman] 06/2/2017 10:56

Still subzero and foggy here. I was hoping to see some sun after a frosty night.

Good UK car sales, with the caveat that car tax changes might be giving a modest boost to sales of more efficient vehicles as some drivers seek to switch from higher taxed models under the new regime. It might drag a view sales forward from later this year.

Good Morning.

A cold start here, but bright and sunny.

Off on holiday on Thursday morning, so the gentle reminders about packing are becoming a bit more insistent!

Its a shame if the news surrounding David Beckham has any substance.

MrP - I did something similar with a tenon saw yesterday.

[aleman] 06/2/2017 09:22

You need to look harder for those nail-clippers, MrP, and don't be cutting yyour hair with the hedge trimmer!


From the school of forecasting that sees recession coming after the crisis has hit and everyone has already lost their jobs:

nt for Trump

The BBC are getting later and later posting this :- Quiz of the week's news

Possibly not quite sure what news is going to hit next?

[deanforester] 03/2/2017 18:09

I'm up +0.802% on the day today (FTSE100 +0.666%), up +0.84% on the week (FTSE100 +0.054%) but down -+0.02% YTD (FTSE100 +0.64% and HIX +0.31%).

Best rises: INDV +3.7% then WMH and AV., both +2.6%.

Worst falls: RIO -3.5%, BLT -2.5% and S32 -1.6%.

A bad day for the miners. Almost everything else rose.

The rain started after lunch, and the wind is picking up. Might be dry in the morning, possible frost.

Enjoy the weekend and the 6 Nations.

6/7 for me.

+0.61% for today, [FTSE250 +0.84%]
+0.56% on the week, making Folio YTD +2.22%.

Another pleasant day, max temp varied, sheltered from southerly winds by woodland, 9C-11C depending where you were.

Good w/e all.

[freddie ferret] 03/2/2017 17:43

Good day overall, what will next week bring? Will Trump nuke Iran? Will Nuttall win Stoke?

[shadowside] 03/2/2017 17:39

Slipped a little against the FTSE this week so now +3.2% YTD. CTO seems to have given up most of last fridays gain.Might add a few more.

Have a pub reunion with a bunch of my old employees tonight and wine club event for 20 at our place tomorrow so a rather more alcoholic weekend than I am used to. Have been summoned to a "health check" at our medical practice next week so will need to have it all out of the system by then.

Enjoy your weekends

Bit of a mixed bag, but thankfully the SIPP was positive with +0.28% on the week taking it back up to +0.84% YTD. Not so good for the much smaller pot which came in at -0.4% on the week, -1.63% YTD and -0.12% on the week for the Virgin ISA but it's still +0.33% YTD.

Off to do some clearing up and replacing of bird boxes at the woods tomorrow, not a moment too soon as they birds seem to be getting quite lively!

Enjoy your weekends.

MrP

[skinny] 03/2/2017 17:01

My SIPP finished up 0.79%, +0.71% on the week and is +0.95% YTD.

A very mild day and only now getting some rain @11°C.


Enjoy your weekend.

4/7 for me. Won the quiz again. Very quiet going home again. A scattering of cars but hardly any HGVs on the road.

+0.2%. YTD -2.9%.

I tried sitting out for lunch but there was a bit of high and low cloud that aided the occasional breeze in spoiling it so I didn't last long. A very sunny morning led to a cooler overcast afternoon. 10.8C after 5.8C.

NPower seem to have decided that higher energy bills will join higher food and petrol bills, higher car tax and insurance, higher dividend tax and slightly higher interest rates in hampering consumers spending. What next for a Spring slowdown?

Have a good weekend if you can avoid the wind.

Bailout negotiations between Athens and its creditors have stalled. The possibility of Grexit, or euro exit, has re-emerged and bond yields have soared. The yield on two-year Greek government bonds has risen from 6% to 10% in less than two weeks as spooked investors have dumped their holdings. And the shrill rhetoric last seen at the height of the crisis in 2015 has returned.

[mrphil] 03/2/2017 15:25

Just changed the classic insurance policy on the Stag. Existing company were after £220 so I've changed to the club's recommended broker and paid £145 which seems a bit more like it!

[mrphil] 03/2/2017 11:38

4/7 for me and I knew a couple of those!

Already had a downpour here this morning but it's quietened down and got a bit brighter again, but I guess that's the calm before Doris?!

[deanforester] 03/2/2017 11:08

5/7 for me, but I don't follow Dr Who.

+5°C here this morning with a clear sky. Some small fluffy clouds rolling in from the SE on a brisk wind. Not sure of the current path of the depression, but that wind suggests that it is to the SW of us. Buy Ballots Law and all that.

As I understand it the savings rate is high because there is little state provision for old age and with the one child policy generation not a lot of family support. WMC's have offered higher interest rates than banks and therefore been attractive. However interest payment have been funded by new investor deposits rather than earnings. As long as confidence holds I guess it will be OK. Bernie Madoff ran the biggest Ponzi scheme in history and went undetected for decades. He only dealt in billions though.
