We should all make a claim against china not that financially it has effected me in any way but whilst Tw share price keeps falling I will be buying some more

Should wear bloody masks & observe social distancing then

There are 9 million people living in Greater London, estimates are for 11 million by 2035.

Any idea London will be somehow deserted is risible.


DM reporting the government considering two week nationwide partial lockdown
measures, with an announcement coming next week.

Unhelpful for consumer confidence.

People & companies are moving away from Londond because it's cheaper & a better quality of life, Why couldn't they have used the great central line that is still relatively intact, surely would have been a cheaper option & less environmental impact? I am not against the hs2 ingeneral it's just the cost, as we all know anything the government does ends up costing 10 x more & will never recover the cost, has the channel tunnel or M6 Toll road even made a return yet? I suppose the only good thing is it will provide employment for thousands,me included

Totally disagree about HS2. If you use rail travel it definitely needs to continue, we have over congestion with packed trains that can't cope with the volume. We lack a quality rail infrastructure, for gods sake, we still using Victorian signals in certain areas plus it will help balance the country's wealth rather than have it all condensed in the south east, we will all benefit eventually. Trouble with our country is that's it's full of short sighted people like you two!

[jugears] 17/9/2020 23:13

Buy well, I always think your a bit of a c__t but totally agree about hs2, of course the other point is that who will want to go to london in a few years when companies & people have moved out? In hind sight it perhaps should have started at Birmingham!

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 17/9/2020 19:58

What about RDW?

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 17/9/2020 19:56

You have to wonder why he spends so much time talking this down, I mean it's so low anyway with the potential for a special divi as early as next year what's not to like?It's very easy to throw up non specific macro information and speculation like they are doing, end of the day it's why they are doing it? Not for our benefit surely...

Sikh let's see about those big redundancies, even the Boe have said they wont be as bad as they first thought, As I understand the housing market is being driven by people in employment/retirement/People being offered incentives to work from home, Apparently you would not get a mortgage being in furlough so if demand is currently out stripping supply how will they cope with the additional demand from those that will be going back to work & many will be in large numbers, I havent actually read about any large scale redundancies the ones where they have to notify the government in advance ? The ones that we should have heard about by now? I would be surprised to see any major losses in the skilled sector that dont quickly find alternative employment,before covid wasn't there a skills shortage of about a million people?roughly the same number as people out of work so basically there could have been zero unemployment in the uk, the hardest hill will be the young & un skilled the ones that live at home/renters/none home buyers, I guess we will have to wait but my hunch is Tw are heading north very soon & that's fine by me, I can also see a large special dividend coming in 2022 if not next year,! Wonder how long it will be before the board start patting them selves on the back & paying them selves a big deserving bonus that share holders can hardly refuse? Dont miss the boat sikh ,its leaving very soon! Like wise how long do you think it will be before the government are patting themselves on the back having averted an unemployment disaster by introducing the controversial furlough scheme, the head lines are all ready written.

Unemployment concerns now furlough is being wound down.

Let's see how many redundancies do arise now the furlough scheme is in it's last 6 weeks.


This from TW - concerns over unemployment:

"Whilst there remains a high degree of uncertainty in the short term from both the impact of COVID-19, particularly on employment, as well as the UK's exit from the European Union, demand has remained robust and our customers have continued to want to progress their home purchases."





Legally...

Big redundancy announcements should start to kick in from today onwards.
The furlough scheme ends end of Oct. For firms, making 20-99 people redundant, the legal min consultation period period is 30days and for 100+ it's min 45 days. Today is 45 days until end of Oct.

WHY on Earth do folk keep on Encouraging this clown to post, odds on there's nothing new and a Book has been written on this thread to contradict his whining!

[sikhthetech] 16/9/2020 18:16

Jug,

Call them whatever you like... The facts are there... The HBs have expressed the same concerns, so far Covid, Help to Buy 2nd homes ending, temporary Stamp Duty Holiday.



As expected, recent housing demand has been because of the temporary Stamp Duty holiday and Help to Buy for 2nd homes ending in 6 months.




Housing sales increase unlikely to be sustained, warns Redrow

Buyers rush to market before Help to Buy scheme and stamp duty holiday end next year






Everyone should read the company/sector/economic newsflow.

[porsche1945] 16/9/2020 16:04

well of course, until the brexit fiasco is resolved the prices of most domestic stocks will drift lower. Obvious I would have thought.

[sikhthetech] 16/9/2020 14:51

Over the past couple of months, every time HB have announced results, the share price has gone up a few p on the day then the downtrend has continued days later..

[gbh2] 16/9/2020 14:49

imastu - I suppose it depends on how many you want. I managed a cou0ple of small buys ca 110.5p, it's a no brainier now I no longer have to pay commission, the tax is the tax regardless of the number of purchases.

"I've never felt the need to justify my purchases or sales"

nor do I.

It's nice to have an investment decision proven right so conclusively BY EVENTS.

[gbh2] 16/9/2020 14:41

I've never felt the need to justify my purchases or sales, which is why I can't be bothered reading the posts from constant naysayers!

[porsche1945] 16/9/2020 14:31

Started to build a position today, I think these are the cheapest of all the builders, good balance sheet, good management, smart move with the capital raise and land purchase, things are difficult right now but office work is toast, people will be working from home, housing will have even more demand, low rates, easier planning, a lot of gov support. I shall buy and hold, i think they will go back through the 237 high and on to 3 quid eventually with some great cash returned in between.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 16/9/2020 14:06

There's certain posters on certain boards in this sector that seem to have an agenda, of course they will claim they are just putting forward the bear case, but why do they spend so much of their time trying to deter investors?Ask yourself that - what have they to gain if they are not actually invested?
