In the Ukraine things are now rather interesting, it seems the N Koreans are throwing everything into supporting the Russians supplies and armaments and men. On the other hand the South Koreans seem to be in the process of sending men to bolster the Ukrainians.
Getting nuts.
China?
What the true figures are re casualties I do not know but hopefully the Ukrainians are maintaining some degree of asymetricity in the matter.

One aspect to modern life is that contrary to media propaganda the UK is vastly safer than it used to be, crime is far lower. Perhaps I should give some examples. The Broadwater Estate in Tottenham N London take a walk through it in the late evening or night, no problem. What used to be the N Peckham estate walk through it, no rubbish no needles. The Divis flats in north Belfast all gone as is Tangmere on Broadwater Farm. All these places are now clean tidy and decent with good parked cars. I believe that a lot of the reason for this is the slow slide into a surveillance safety orientated police state. There are advantages but there are drawbacks too. Again the move toward the loss of privacy and phasing out of cash may mean a hit on the black economy and surprise surprise the state may find the overall economy drastically smaller and tax take less. Impediments slow the velocity of circulation of money, it maybe you do not like something but at least it is something that is being done. Privacy is key if people feel inhibited they simply will not do it and money circulation will be less.

Everyone I know more or less says the same.

On general society, hollowed out is the best comment I can make. Nothing works as it should.

I have quite strong views re GBs financial problems. We have the cons that tried to seem socialist with 300billion spent on Covid. Now we have labour that try to square the books with tax rises that will hit the poor and middle earners. However nobody is suggesting removing the tax breaks on ISAs when the capital value exceeds shall we say 5 million or limits the tax breaks on pension pots when the capital value exceeds 10 million. This would hit only the serious rich and very savvy investors where there will be no problem financing a lavish retirement, seems a no brainier for supposedly socialist govt to me.

Good Morning.

A sunny day feeling surprisingly mild.

DF has just docked in Madeira.

[carpingtris] 26/10/2024 17:29

Is there a thread for what folk might think of as 'takeover' targets?

[carpingtris] 26/10/2024 15:49

NHS get shed loads of money just feel it's poorly utilised and it won't matter how much you give them it'll always struggle..

Companies should be encouraged (perhaps incentivised) to offer more health benefits imo and help reduce NHS burdens.

My workplace offers health insurance and onsite occupational health plus visits onsite for bloodwork numbers etc.. spoilt really.

But sure plenty others could maybe offer some of those benefits.

[skinny] 26/10/2024 15:28

Where are all of the Labour voters now?

Unless the double edged sword of mass immigration and benefits is addressed, this is nothing more than a sticking plaster!

[carpingtris] 26/10/2024 15:27

Same feeling here having worked since left school and the fact I can now dabble with investments like shares is because I've worked and my choice how I spend my excess income each month!!

Labour pi$$ me off..

A poor end to a poor week, I do wonder if we may be setting up nicely for a Santa Rally once the budget and US election are in the rear view mirror. I bought back into ABDN this week after a massive sell off, a bit too soon as it turns out, I have some cash in my wife's ISA and watching a few stocks closely, namely PHNX, MNG and LGEN. If they fall below my original buy price I'll probably top up on these.

Grey and misty all day with some heavy showers, hopefully it stays dry for my tennis in the morning. Best wishes to your SIL Dr B, sounds like good news.

Best Riser: ITH +3.48%

Worst Faller: PHNX -5.21%

On the week: -1.66%

No new additions this week though keeping an eye on some potentials! Might pull the trigger on something next week or top-up an existing holding.

Good weekend all :)

DF re Lloyds

''The UK Court of Appeal’s ruling in the motor finance case has also hit shares in Lloyds Banking Group.
Lloyds, a major supplier of motor finance, are down 4.5%.''

(that was at lunchtime - ended down 7.3%)

[dr biotech] 25/10/2024 16:50

Thanks everyone, Enjoy your break MrP

Fairly horrible day for my lot, down around 0.6%

AV/DOTD/OTB/VLX all significant value fallers. Sold CPI (actually did so earlier this week). It had got back to my buy price and my holding was 0.6% of my total so never going to be big, but I'm now wondering if they will be a benefactor of any govt largese.

YTD 7.3% - think that is 5% down from this years peak.
