What's wrong with US employment numbers? (S&P500 figures say employment is falling.)



Is the current US recession going to be the first one that does not get reported in government numbers?

Looks like there may be some positive movement with the DX. takeover. Probably a few more weeks before we know exactly what it all means for DX. shareholders.

Looks like had the best of the weather on Friday MrP.

Apparently my Ateca is in the country!

Morning, full of apprehension for the forthcoming week.

I was down -0.54% last week, making the Folio YTD +9%. The current quarter dividend accruals would put me into double digits, I may need it if the worst case scenario were to happen.

Yesterday visited nearby Hedgehog Rescue Open Day.
Was allowed to see 5 tiny 'hoglets' found wrapped up in a roll of fencing delivered to a builders yard, who had called in the RSPCA. They are doing ok in an incubator now. Miracle.

Morning All.

Great long weekend, and the weather was very kind. Worn out and looking for a rest now!

Last weeks performance was better than I expected having seen a nasty fall on Friday. The SIPP managed +0.05% on the week and is now +4.94% YTD, the pot jumped by +0.61% taking it to +9.92% YTD and the Virgin ISA added a further +0.56% to +8.68% YTD. Quite happy with all of those.

Back to a usual 2/7 for me on the quiz, knew the Beatles one.

Came back to a couple of awkward jobs which I had hoped has gone away!

[skinny] 03/6/2017 12:51

Spittingbarrel - it looks too good to be true - so very probably is!

My SIPP finished up 0.35%, +0.23% on the week and is +10.21% YTD.

We had a pretty frenetic thunderstorm yesterday evening, which has left todat feeling more fresh - currently @20°C.

Enjoy your weekend.

Busy Thurs and went to Bridlington on Friday. Brid was surprsingly quiet. Occasional spotting rain was a factor but it was warm and bright at times so not a bad day. Kids were happy so we were.

-0.2 Thurs and +0.2% on Friday. YTD -5.1%.

[hyden] 02/6/2017 19:53

Up all day but somehow it all went wrong in the last 5 minutes of trading. Down 0.1%. Just about up on the week at +0.02%. I am up +12.55% YTD but I reported +12.64% last week so there must have been a mistake with last week's calculation. I'm not sure how that can have happened as my numbers are reported from two different sources.

RPC is today's biggest value gainer and CINE is today's biggest faller. ICP has given me the best gains so far this year by far and VED has cost me the most. I should have learned to cut my losses on that one, I think. Funnily enough RPC is my second worse performing share this year, although it is fighting back strongly of late. I hope that VED will take the hint and do the same.

Have a great weekend all.

I'm down slightly on the day, but don't know by how much as I made a typing mistake yesterday (FTSE100 +0.051%), down -0.15% on the week (FTSE100 unchanged) but up +7.65% YTD (FTSE100 +5.67% and HIX +3.36%.

Worst falls: TW. -2.74%, MKS -2.03% and UU. -1.96%.

Best rises: S32 +1.34%, BATS +1.27% and ULVR +1.22%.

Those shares which went XD for big special dividends yesterday continued to fall. RB. is now over £80. Where will it stop?

Rain stopped play at Edgbaston again. Only 9 overs played, so they need some more to make a game. We've had no rain here today.

Enjoy the weekend.

OMG, I got 7/7. A couple of guesses in that, but I knew a frightening number.

Skinny - Without doing any research it has to be a con. Why would the government back a bond at 9% when it can borrow for 1%?

[skinny] 02/6/2017 06:02

My SIPP ended down 0.18%.



4/7.

Has anyone on here come across these?

[deanforester] 01/6/2017 18:58

I'm up +0.358% on teh day today (FTSE100 +0.317%).

Best rises: CLLN +2.41%, AZN +1.80% and RIO +1.31%.

Worst falls: TW. -6.5% XD, NG. -3.6% XD and MKS -1.9% XD.

TW. and NG. both fell more than their dividends while MKS fell by less.

I watched about 5 minutes of the 7-way debate last night before finding something more entertaining. I prefer the old method of giving election broadcasts pro-rata to their MPs or support. Why give the greens so much exposure? Likewise UKIP. These near-riots do nothing,

We have been to Tonbridge today to take a friend out to lunch. She has a broken arm, so can't drive or do fairly simple tasks. Wetherspoon's Curry Club did us well.

Slipped behind the indices with a fall of -0.19% for the Folio,. [FTSE250 +0.19%]

Risers not making much headway, plenty of fallers though: NG. -3.6%[xd], MCL -6%, TW. -6.5%[xd], ASY -4%, BT.A -1.8%.

A warm 22C, scattered cloud , wind SSW 12mph.

House prices recorded their third consecutive monthly fall in May - the first time this has occurred since 2009.



When is the stockmarket going to react? It look slike US, UK and Oz are all going into recession, with plenty of speculation that India and China are, too - yet the market just keeps rising as if we are firing on all cylinders.
