SIPP -0.40% BRCI, LLOY & BP. and the pot -0.53% AMS, LLOY & FDI

Still a beautiful blue sky but we never did see much warmth. Good that we get to see a bit more daylight now, I'm actually managing to get home before it's dark!

Not much on to interest us tonight, but we have Broadchurch from last night to catch up on.

Poor day, sunny but cool.

Re DX.
We wait to see.

Just checking prices in Norway ready for our trip in a couple of weeks time and thought this was interesting.

Cost of living in Norway is 51.71% higher than in United Kingdom (aggregate data for all cities, rent is not taken into account). Rent in Norway is 16.96% higher than in United Kingdom (average data for all cities).

Beautiful down the marina at lunchtime, but a bit chilly despite the bright sunshine.

Thanks DF - duly signed and forwarded.

Food giant, General Mills, still struggling with weak sales, especially in North America. More job losses to come.

Have also signed. Its a tax not a fee and the way they have pushed it through is underhand to say the least.

[mrphil] 21/3/2017 11:47

Just added mine and passed it on. Another one they have slipped through on the quiet. Are we sure this is a Conservative Government?

CPI 2.3% versus 2.1% expected. RPI 3.2% versus 2.9% expected. Core RPI 3.5%. Looks like my forcasts from last summer for a spike this spring might not be so far off after all.

If you look at tables PSA3 to PSA5, you'll see a significant
rise in income taxes and a significant reduction in government current spending in Jan and Feb. Whilst it helps increase the tax take, and maybe helps the deficit short term, it hurts consumers and the government spending reduction also hits the nominal GDP side which will probably add to pressures slowing the economy. Expect a low GDP figure for Q1 - before or after it has been revised 5 times!



Note - the Feb figure was flattered by a delayed EU funding request (amount?) so there could be a worsened month sometime later.

Morning All.

Having a cooler spell here too, a high yesterday of just 10.2°C dropping last night to 4.3°C but a beautiful start to the day today with wall to wall sunshine. Doesn't feel as warm as it looks though!

Quiet start for the SIPP, just LLOY making any real move. DX. can't decide what to do with all the sheenanigans going on.

2.0C overnight. We had 4C and snow shower son the school run. Glad to be back indoors where it feels warm as it is still unny between the showers.


The banking cycle looks to have turned. Net charge-offs are rising again. Although still low, note that they were still low in 2000 and 2007 before shooting up. By the time the peaks were in, in 2002 and 2010, stockmarkets had long since tumbled.

In the market at large, the uncertain economic outlook has put at risk some major engineering, procurement and construction contracts. As contract owners have delayed payments to contractors, insolvencies in the supply chain have increased, leading to more disputes.

ScS report a slight slowing of LfL from 2.7% last year to 0.9% YTD. Pittards profit wiped out and eceptional pushed them into loss. NAHL report challenging legal markets. Independent News and Media report slowing digital revenue growth. Still plenty of other strong news out there - notably 888.

In US, Wells Fargo reported a significant slowing in its retail business - fewer current acccounts and credit card accounts opened.

+0.40% for the Folio. [FTSE250 +0.30%]

Highest value risers : BGO +9.1%, CLIG +4.3%, IGR +2.7%, BRSN +1.2%.

Worst value fallers : CSN -3.4%, RTC -3.8%.

PHNX fell away after it's early post results rise, CSN following it up went negative pm, surprised at poor market reaction. Still, here for the ironclad dividend.

Shedload of rain again here, 3 inches plus since Feb 1st .

DF -do you have a link please and this isn't widely known - .

[mrphil] 20/3/2017 17:45

freddie, wonder if this could be what DX. needs?

[mrphil] 20/3/2017 17:12

Was invited to contribute to this, but I haven't read it yet.

[mrphil] 20/3/2017 17:10

The SIPP actually did the opposite and ended a bit stronger, helped by some action at DX. The SIPP added +0.35% thanks to top risers UU., DX. & NG. whilst the pot managed +0.59% with AMS, SGC & DC. providing the gains.

Skinny, probably the drizzle that put them off, it doesn't seem to take much to call a halt to proceedings these days. If they're not peeing behind my garage with a mobile phone in the "other" hand, they're looking up at the sky with a great sucking of teeth! Half day again today!

Broadchurch tonight.
