Millwallfan,My view is that help to buy & stamp duty holiday ending will have little effect on the housing market, Despite Covid I think the uk is now heading for a much brighter future going forward & with this I expect demand for housing to grow particularly as it is very unlikely we will see interest rates going up for a good while yet, I also believe that once the special dividend is reintroduced next year, we may have a one off larger payment than has been seen in the past, Whilst audi's are very nice cars I think you will find that owning TW shares are a lot more profitable, I have said many times that we haven't yet seen the peak in Tw share price & would expect these to be be into the £2.40 plus next year at least, possibly even this year, these are just my own thoughts, One thing my dad always taught me about buying cars, as soon as you leave the garage it will loose 10 percent of its value,my ethos has always been to invest in appreciating asset like shares & property, I have one car(7 years old) & an old Discovery, I have never seen the point in spending thousands on a car only to get it scratched by stone chips, supermarket trolleys etc etc, knowing that I could go out & buy a top of the range new Aston Martin or Bentley is enough for me, I do not have to buy expensive unpractical toys to show people how much money I have or how successful I am, I know how much money I have in the bank & have never cared what other people think. One thing I would definitely not do is to sell any of my investments to buy a car of any description, Made that mistake years ago having sold next share I bought for .56P for cica £7 each they went on to be worth £85 each at one point! I definitely have know plans to sell any shares in any uk company over the next 2 years, but please make your own decisions, if your asking then you are obviously doubting yourself.

Jugears. Firstly happy new year to you and all contributors here. Re my post 3062 I would appreciate your comments. My current thinking is that despite recent cv figures we may see a rise here given Brexit trade deal, second vaccine and some positive trading figures at the update mid month. I think this could take us towards £2. However thereafter if cv escalates with a total lockdown and slowing house sales as a result plus the potential end of govt incentives we may see a retrace. I have just committed on a 3 month old Audi A8 so will want to sell about 25% of my holding here rather than other gold and commodity shares which I think might have greater short term growth potential or my large Lloyd’s holding which is still substantially under water. Would my thoughts make any sense to you. Accept any comments are NOT given as investment advice. Thanks

Wish all a safe and enjoyable New Year celebration.

Happy new year to everyone on this board

Ah, go on then, end of the year, so why not?

Now, who didn't take advantage of this during the year? And still some way to go, maybe...

For the resident pessimists, there are a couple of gaps further down (as well as higher up). Difficult to think of specific causes for a revisit to those areas, but I'm sure there will be a couple of hithertoo unforseen causes. Or maybe expected ones, I'm sure we'll be told...

What time does the market close today, does anyone know?

[jugears] 31/12/2020 09:43

gbh2, lucky old you I have been at work since 6 this morning & the fog is so thick you can only see 10 feet in front,Its interesting to see that despite Stamp duty Holiday finishing soon all the HB's I work for have forward orders well past the end date, I asked one of the directors last week if he thought it would have any major impact on sales & said he didn't think so & whilst it may have helped sales he said that there was sufficient forward demand for new houses & that the biggest problem was going to be lack off new homes available to meet demand, at the moment we have a forward order book with our hb customers until September 2021, Normally this is 3-6 months in front, We have construction order delivery dates stretching in to 2022 & whilst in the past we have been covered work wise for 12 months in front it doesn't happen very often, We don't advertise our services or have a web site but have increased our customer base by circa 50% this year, whilst certain sectors have really suffered in the last 12 months others have had record trading years, Here's to 2021!, I wish all my fellow investors (even the filtered ones!) a very happy new year & a very prosperous & healthy one.

[gbh2] 31/12/2020 09:23

I'm back fully invested in TW, usual end of month sell off helped to secure my final purchase.

Nice an sunny outside so off for a walk, have a good one guys.

UK house prices climbed 7.5% in 2020, the highest growth rate for six years, building society Nationwide found.

Prices ended the year 5.3% above the level prevailing in March, a resilience that seemed unlikely at the start of the pandemic, it said.

Housing demand has been buoyed by a raft of policy measures and changing preferences due to the pandemic.

House prices were 0.8% higher in December than November, with the average property valued at £230,920.

[sikhthetech] 30/12/2020 12:15

gbh
"good reports of house price increases yet again."

Yes, due to stamp duty hol, which comes to an end in March. Well they weren't going to go down whilst buyers are trying to meet govn support deadlines.

Also Help to Buy for 2nd homes ends at same time.
Furlough ends 30th April.



""However, housing market activity is likely to slow in the coming quarters, perhaps sharply, if the labour market weakens as most analysts expect, especially once the stamp duty holiday expires at the end of March," he warned."




"The UK property market could cool rapidly in 2021, according to forecasters, as the stamp duty holiday ends and unemployment rises."

"House prices rose to a six-year high at the end of 2020, according to Nationwide building society, rising 7.3% in the year, but the mortgage lender expects the market to slow “sharply” over the next few months.

The lender Halifax is expecting a fall in house prices of between 2% and 5% next year, while the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Treasury’s independent forecaster, is more pessimistic, predicting an 8% fall in prices in 2021."

I Filtered the numpty shortly after the first comment, never read one since.

[inaminute] 30/12/2020 11:28

Porsche riddled the Aston Martin board with his talk of going bust. I have had no shares there but his nonsense was so transparent and relentless every time I checked it out. Just put on ignore. You will save yourself a lot of worthless reading. A know-nothing with fantasy trades.

[gbh2] 30/12/2020 11:28

I've picked up few each time we've approach 166p, given up on cheaper purchases until after the next results, good reports of house price increases yet again.

Good to see Oxford Vaccine has been approved as well.

The sooner we overcome this nasty killer the better.

The vaccine is being rolled out, 1m doses a week.
The 2nd jab will be 12 weeks after the 1st.

1m vaccinated a week and 70m people in UK. If they plan to vaccinate 70% or 50m and 2nd dose after 12 weeks.
So those receiving the 1st dose in Jan onwards will receive their 2nd after 12 weeks. Tlobs, a 5 yr old will tell you that 12 weeks after 1st dose is March onwards. So not fully vaccinated by end of Feb as you claim...
So summer it is then.. ;-)



"Everyone will still receive their second dose and this will be within 12 weeks of their first. The second dose completes the course and is important for longer term protection."

[tlobs2] 30/12/2020 07:18

LOL. It looks like Billy Liar aka Porche1945 is posting about his fantasy investments again. Claims to have bought at the bottom and sold near the top. Strangely he has posted similar tripe on other boards.

An no, I don't believe him either. PMSL.


In other news The Oxford vaccine has been approved. Should really hack off sikhthetit

[sikhthetech] 29/12/2020 16:06

Porsche,
Likewise, I don't like the brexit deal.
UK is heavily reliant on Financial services and these are omitted from the deal.

The ironic thing is the leavers, like Tlobs, will have Pensions. Pension providers depend on Financial companies like Lloyds. These Pension Funds of these 'leavers' could lose thousands of pounds. But posters like Tlobs are clueless to understand the consequences. They've made a few quid and a short term ego boost with this brexit deal, short term gain, long term suffering. They will lose thousands in the long run. Karma comes to mind.

Plus UK is likely to be broken up sooner rather than later. No more UNITED Kingdom or GREAT Britain. It'll be little old England for brexiteers to sit in their little garden with their cup of tea and Rich Tea biscuits.

[porsche1945] 29/12/2020 15:35

Didnt realise tlobs the brexit knuckle dragging self harming moron had appeared on this thread, hey ho, loads like him worst luck. Sold out of TW today, bought in at average 1.09 and sold at 1.69, not bad three months return on 54k investment.

I dont like the brexit deal, its thin and the U.K. will get poorer and poorer, as Adam Posen said (ex BOE) the deal is better than nothing but its still chronic, “ the U.K. will survive but its people will have to work harder than they should for less “. We had our cake and eat it with EU membership, with wheezing Boris and the brexit self harmers dragging those of us with a brain and proper money down the tubes with them I dont see how the U.K. skirts a dire long term recession. Time to move all investments onto S&P 500, UK is toast.

[sikhthetech] 29/12/2020 10:58

tlobs,
"Final nail in the coffin of the Bremoaners"

Read the Brexit deal before engaging your mouth!!

Leavers voted to leave EU completely, ie No Deal.
Remainers voted for status quo.
Neither remainers nor leavers won. All there was 4 yrs of talks and wasted money. Lawyers won.

The deal means UK are still tied in with the EU, whether it be on 'leveling up' or fisheries.


Btw, it looks like UK's biggest earner, Finance sector, are not part of the deal - they don't have automatic right to access EU market.
There's also a real risk of UK breaking up.

Come back later in 2021 and you'll start to see the real consequences of the deal and then make a comment.

btw, keep buying here at 170p.. ;-)

[mayers] 29/12/2020 10:21

Thanks for that gbh2. I think I may have overdone the selling but it was at a time no deal was much on the cards. Hence my interest.

[tlobs2] 29/12/2020 09:44

Final nail in the coffin of the Bremoaners....
