The unmistakable sound of someone confusing braggadocio for wisdom.

"Am I to assume you are a billionaire or just have a big mouth with nonsensical remarks coming out of it?" — A curious opening for someone who's quite evidently chosen the latter path for themselves. Self-awareness clearly wasn’t on the trading list today, was it?

"I make heaps (Aussie expression) using my trading methods and doing OAAT most of the time." Oh, do you now? It's fascinating how the most successful individuals never feel the need to shout about it, yet here you are, clinging to your "heaps" and your suspiciously vague acronyms as though they lend your argument an ounce of credibility. Newsflash: they don't.

You profess to "know everything," trumpet your "debating skills," and yet, this comment reads more like a mid-life crisis disguised as a power move. Anti-Brexit and Lib Dem? At least they aim for intellect and reason, qualities glaringly absent in your chest-thumping proclamation.

So, congratulations on your "OAAT" success—whatever that may be. But next time, you might want to consider that loud declarations of personal wealth do little more than highlight a rather desperate need for validation. Cheers, champ.

morning Qantas- yes, same situation if in UK buying foreign stocks and the brokers cunningly do not point out that major disadvantage I mentioned, especially for traders . Investors would normally be allowed to keep the currency converted into when they sold in the future and then make a new purchase perhaps . Depends on which broker is used as might not be allowed with some .

Arja That is a very interesting on exchange rates as you say.

Is it the same If I buy foreign stocks in the UK?

[arja] 25/11/2024 12:43

Qantas,
Yes, I can trade UK stocks in OZ but would only do it through my CFD account . Any profit or loss is converted back into the base currency , ie aussie dollar in my case . One can buy UK stocks using a share account but not smart as the full value is converted to pounds and then back to aussie dollars on selling - means a loss on the exchange spread which could even exceed the profit on the trade , ie a formula for losing money :) .
Nice bounce by OCDO today I notice .

whites123,
you seem to be an apologist for Putin and thE MOST OBNOXIOUS BREXITEERS sometimes do this but a remainer would never do that

Another breathless screed masquerading as insightful analysis. Your post reads like a bingo card of overhyped hysteria and self-satisfied indignation.

"A majority of the British public are unhappy with Trump’s return": Oh, how convenient to speak for "a majority" with no evidence cited. You’re trotting out public opinion like it’s a universal truth while conveniently ignoring how fickle it is. If Farage (and by extension Trump) has no support, how did they consistently command headlines and influence? But sure, continue clutching those imaginary pearls over what “most Brits” think.

"Extremist oligarchic government": Do you ever get tired of melodramatic buzzwords? It’s amazing how every administration you dislike is the death knell of democracy while your favored ones are infallible bastions of progress. Throwing out terms like “theocratic221; and “oligarchic221; makes you sound like a Twitter doomscroller, not someone capable of nuanced thought.

"Loyalist government, Project 2025, and packing the government": I love how you cite a think tank's proposals as if they’re gospel truth. Let’s be honest: every incoming administration appoints people aligned with its vision. Did you clutch your pearls this hard when Obama or Biden filled posts with ideologically aligned figures? Or does your outrage only flare up when the other side does it?

"Attacks on civil liberties": The irony here is dazzling. You lament Trump’s supposed erosion of freedom while ignoring that many Democrats have pushed censorship under the guise of combating “disinformation.” Perhaps take a look at the mirror before accusing others of authoritarian tendencies. By the way, isn’t it funny how vague you are about the specifics of this alleged "Republican-led bill"? Almost like you’re banking on readers not asking questions.

"A Battalion of Buffoons": Elon Musk? Tulsi Gabbard? A Fox News pundit? Oh no, differing perspectives in government! The horror! Meanwhile, you conveniently ignore the revolving door of incompetence and cronyism in any administration—;left, right, or center. Your selective outrage isn’t just transparent; it’s exhausting.

"Obeying in advance": Timothy Snyder would probably appreciate you leaving his work out of your rant. Your attempt to paint Hollywood producers and newspapers as heroic victims of Trump’s hypothetical wrath is laughable. These industries are hardly innocent lambs—theyR17;ve played politics for decades. Spare us the drama of “fearing Trump’s vengeance”; it’s pure projection.

"Stripping the state for parts and persecuting dissenters": Oh, the melodrama! Funny how every criticism you level at Trump could just as easily apply to your preferred leaders if we swapped the names. Perhaps you should apply the same critical lens to your own biases before declaring others unfit for red-carpet treatment.

Finally, your fixation on Nigel Farage as some grand Trump puppet master is as tired as it is unoriginal. Farage’s support for Trump doesn’t cancel out the reality that many people in the UK value strong US-UK relations. If anything, your condescending dismissal of those people only exposes your own elitism.

If you want to critique Farage or Trump, do better than this kitchen-sink approach of throwing out every buzzword and headline you’ve absorbed. Otherwise, all you’re doing is virtue-signaling to an echo chamber and hoping someone gives you a pat on the back for your moral posturing.

arja, post 2790

Ah, arja, the self-declared oracle of "tangible benefits" and geopolitical expertise.

"Talking about tangible benefits so far": Oh, pardon us for not presenting a fully gift-wrapped list of immediate post-Brexit miracles for your personal gratification. Systems and policies don’t change overnight—something even a high school economics class would teach you. But sure, let’s ignore long-term strategic benefits because you can’t find them on your doorstep today. Patience clearly isn’t your strong suit, Sport.

"Assume you support Putin and blame NATO": Wow, what an intellectual leap! Because someone disagrees with you on one topic, they must automatically support a dictator? That’s a level of reasoning that would make a toddler cringe. Here’s a thought: maybe someone can critique Western strategies without being a Kremlin cheerleader. But subtlety seems lost on you.

"Putin has often said Ukraine should not exist": Thank you, Captain Obvious. Did you think anyone missed Putin’s imperialistic rhetoric? Repeating this doesn’t make you sound insightful; it makes you sound like you’ve just discovered Google. We’re all aware of his justifications—;using this to lecture others on “bright” thinking while you regurgitate headlines is peak irony.

"Putin’s actions helped NATO expand": Oh, well done! Did you figure that out all by yourself, Sport? Yes, Finland and Sweden joining NATO is a direct result of Putin’s aggression. But claiming this is some revelation while ignoring broader geopolitical dynamics is just embarrassing. Proximity to NATO was a pretext, not a cause—and even bright people (like the ones you wish you were debating with) already know that.

Your tone of smug superiority might work if you backed it up with compelling arguments, but this? This is a slapdash mix of clichés and unearned arrogance. If you’re going to throw the word “bright” around, make sure your own post doesn’t shine with the dim glow of intellectual laziness. Sport.

Arja. Spot on. Full respect!

[qantas] 23/11/2024 15:16

Good evening Arja

Are you able to trade UK stocks in Australia?

[arja] 23/11/2024 07:49

lEONEBULL,
spot on but some on this thread seem to have rocks for brains and do not get it . Brexiteers actually voted for same level or a higher level of immigration as immigrants from EU had to be replaced with immigrants from other countries and ask brexiteers which countries :) . we have got our "sovereignty " back but hard to eat that = LOL !

[arja] 23/11/2024 07:31

whites123,
you failed badly sport as I was talking about TANGIBLE benefits so far and not about some benefit which MIGHT emerge one day in distant future .
Does not surprise me you are happy a convicted felon won and I assume you support Putin and blame NATO expansion for the invasion but SFA to do with that as Putin has often said Ukraine should not exist as an independent country and has put his words into action ! Ironically , it is Putin's actions which helped NATO to expand and you can work that out yourself Sport .( Suomi and Ruotsi). Putin made NATO proximity to Russia as an excuse to invade and bright people can see that .

Time for all you daft mugs to wake up and smell that freshly ground coffee.

Ocado has a long history of over-promising and under-delivering.
================================================================

Ocado is a company that’s been around since 2000 and it only ever reported a post-tax profit during three of those years.

Ocado's revenue stream was 12.2% higher in FY24 than in FY23 and its post-tax loss was £94 Million better but after all this time, surely the company should have turned the corner by now ?

When Ocado started, its online offering and home delivery service was different. Now every other supermarket chain is doing exactly the same thing.

Worryingly Oxado's losses have taken a toll on the company’s balance sheet. At 3 December 2023, its borrowings, including lease liabilities, were a staggering £1.96 Billion.

It looks like Ocado might be able to limp through FY25 without having to ask shareholders for more money or raise more debt. However, a rights issue cannot be ruled out if its losses persist or the timescale of its anticipated recovery slips. Ocado already has 50% more shares in issue than when it first listed.

Analysts think it is going to take a lot of cash to continually replace and improve its technology too.

My New year wish is for Ocado to deliver and the weak links are sacked.

[whites123] 22/11/2024 15:54

fuji99,

Your posts are filled with a refreshing amount of common sense. While I’m a committed Reform voter and don’t subscribe to Arja’s crude and stereotypical portrayal of someone like me, I hope my congratulating you on your sensible remarks doesn’t cause you unease as it seems to with some, particularly those from Labour or the woke Lib Dems.

OCDO is in my opinion being manipulated. When time and again their results surpass all expectations.
