Morning everyone.

Sunny, blue skies but very cold. Portfolio red again.

carp well done with DLG.

Skinny, I couldn't access the Times quiz, I'm not a subscriber.

Had a good walk yesterday to the Nature Reserve. Wind not as strong as predicted but very cold. Had our sandwiches shivering :-)

[carpingtris] 23/12/2024 07:28

Thanks for update wllm,

Just hoping I can stay positive at year end!

[dr biotech] 22/12/2024 10:58

That’s a great gesture from the terriers. Watford very much second best to Burnley. Still a better season than I predicted so far.

[skinny] 22/12/2024 09:02

Good Morning.

Thanks wllm.

A bit of weekend fun :-



7/15.

And an interesting take :-

[gateside] 21/12/2024 23:40

Two full trading days plus two half trading days and then I can reset my portfolio YTD here to 0%
Yay!
:)

[gateside] 21/12/2024 23:27

Thanks phil
Yes a good point for the Hammers. West Ham fans never seem happy with their manager, are other clubs the same?
I feel Julen Lopetegui needs the whole season, we signed 9 players over the summer and have moved away from the defensive football that Moyes used to play. Lots of changes!
I think mid table this year is the best we can hope for. But with the likes of Southampton, Wolves and Ipswich all struggling, I don't think the Hammers need to fear relegation.

[aleman] 21/12/2024 22:33

I gather we played ok but gave the game to the Magpies by conceding 3 in 5 minutes of mad defending. Merry Christmas, blueliner!

Super performance from QPR in the 2-1 win against Preston. Lost our captain with an injury in the first half when he pulled up with what looks like a bad foot problem. The Preston striker then ran past him while he was on the floor beating our keeper with a low shot. One of only two Preston shots all afternoon.

We played a 4-1-4-1 with three teenagers, Morrison, Morgan and Koli excelling. Koli equalised just after half time with a low shot from close range and Jimmy Dunne got the winner with a diving header in the 89th. Thoroughly deserved. Up to 14th after being bottom less than a month ago, unbeaten in seven.

Back home for a couple of bowls of homemade broccoli and parsnip soup :-)

Well done to The Magpies in the 'NFDS derby' today , for kiwi's 'Terriers' last night and a point for G's 'Hammers' this afternoon.

wllm, thanks for updating.

My wife is exhibiting at a craft show today. I've been left with a short housework list before having chicken and chips for my lunch then setting off for the match.

A light intermitent mizzle but warmer. Trains running ok.

Tawny owls were hooting away after midnight :-)

A dreadful week, down -1.91% and holding onto positive territory by a fraction, YTD +0.02%. I was meant to be playing tennis tomorrow, but, winds are forecast to be around 50mph so play looks unlikely.

Have a nice weekend gents and hold onto your hats,

wllm :)

[kiwi2007] 20/12/2024 21:19

Skinny - ref your FT article link - By far the best parts of the FT are often in the comments section following each article. Some insightfull views in this one and well worth a read.

Anyway, no matter how bad UK Labour are they'll certainly beat the mix of Labour, Greens amd Maori who ruled and ruined NZ recently.

[justiceforthemany] 20/12/2024 20:18

Point is they should never have made that particular promise re: working people. Sunak pushed Starmer in the debates but he should have just said it depends on what the books like and they could not commit to it in their manifesto. The £22Bn black hole could also have been raised over 2-3 years instead of one. You do wonder what these so called intelligent highly paid advisers actually do...

[blueliner] 20/12/2024 20:11

I was wrong, w/e 20th Jan was worse than this week.

Today. No turnaround here, +£165. [FTSE All-Share -0.18%]
DFCH, BRWM, only comeback stocks.

On the week -2.02%, only 5 gainers out of 45 odd stocks
Faller of the week : BA.
Share of the week : AA4

Folio YTD : +4.51%
It's a lean month for dividends, will try and squeeze as many that come through as possible into December's figures.

Rough weekend expected, take precautions.

[mcunliffe1] 20/12/2024 19:05

justice - I hope those economists are correct. Agree with you on the manifesto hand-tying.
They should simply have ignored their manifesto promise as they did with the Farmers, The WASPI's and the Pensioners.

labour didn't 'win easily'. The Tories simply lost and many votes went to Reform thus splitting the centre/right.

Have a pleasant weekend everyone - and let's hope for better news soon.

[malcolm caton] 20/12/2024 18:42

UP 0.13% on day.

A lousy week -2.55%

[skinny] 20/12/2024 18:41

[carpingtris] 20/12/2024 18:32

Down -1.69% this week!
Still waiting for an update on DLG/AV.

YTD is now +4.81%

Added some more BRWM today at 472p and pleased to see that go up today.
Also received the BRWM dividend today and will be re-invested.

Good weekend all :)
