Seems to be holding up while everything else is a bit red. Maybe some of those US dollars will pick it up cheap from here?
Total carnage today, maybe we should get Boris back ?
Robleo
How dare you say total carnage today - please explain why you needed to make that comment - we could all see the market was in turmoil without you telling us .
And how dare you say bring back Boris - how dare you pick on Truss.
Only joking of course - have a good weekend ;)
Sorry Mikey, I didn't think anyone noticed and thought i might get away with it, promise i will put my thinking cap on before i post again, nice to see you having a joke though, you have a nice weekend as well
Hi Mole, RE: but I fear a long cold winter for all assets, and I wouldn’t want to be trying to retire on equity gains in the next couple of years though.
I have to agree most of my shares are dropping right now, first two of my shares to take the biggest drop due to inflation etc. are directline and vodafone and pretty sure there will be others that will follow the same trend, good thing is though they are so far all still paying full dividends, which will make the long road to recovery a lot easier, if you still have that income adding to the portfolio while waiting for some sort of stock market recovery, will definitely be a big help i think, the largest share in my portfolio, which has been a big disappointment, which is Lloyds bank maybe the one that will benefit the most from high interest rates, it's a case of survival of the fittest with the shares at the moment
Hope the rest of you are doing well, it's a case of grin and bear it for me lately

See what I mean. All you lot who filter Mikey would have missed his 1st ever humorous, & original post to robleo today. Perhaps as Mikey might say, we should all take a screen shot, because it could be very rare? Who knows?
Dan, I thought that was brilliant and very humorous from Mikey, well done mate
But as i got picked on because of Gary
Gary, i think you should give up on the psychiatry and stick to the shares mate lol
have a great weekend all
Hello Rob. (Re Mikey the comedian of the year award), I'm not sure I would quite go that far, & besides I think Gary would make a good psychiatrist, you as well perhaps? Good luck to both of you, & keep your posts coming please on this share discussion forum, sorry I mean share chat?
Stop picking on me just because I study people with brain issues.
I should know because I went to see my own psychiatrist yesterday. I said the her “Doctor I'm here because no-one understands me.” She said, “What do you mean by that?”
Have a great weekend all & that includes you know who. Lovely & sunny up on the Quantocks today, last BBQ of the year tonight, all invited but I expect its a bit of a drive for most.
Gary. The reason she didn't understand you was because women never do? do they? Only joking of course, I love women really, or should I say at my age, rarely! As the psychiatrist said to Basil, how often do you manage it?
Nice one Roofer, 105.69 for me next week. Thanks
Hi Fred. Not sure if your obsession with the no 69 is your age, or your preferred sex position, but I will go 109.96,& if I can do an upside down 69 when I am 96 , I will be very happy.
loving the negativity, tells me we are near a bottom in the markets and I know predictions are tricky, especially about the future, but the last week tells me V'fone has a floor at about 107, no matter what comes out so I'll put 115 as my prediction for end of Fri with most of the work done early in the week.
Happy to have disagreements but also I'm sure inflation is done. only problem is most countries esp US are still acting like it's still here so central banks have already overdone the interest rises and will in next couple months realise that they have gone from being too passive last year to too aggressive this.
Expecting strong asset rises sometime November onwards but def from Jan-Feb onwards so am happily picking up nice deals in the market (no I'm not French so don't quite have that much to put in here!).
Anyway recommend people don't get too doom and gloom as the more your google feeds and youtube channels are sell sell sell, the more likely it is we are near or at the bottom of the market.

Pretty much my thought Oldham, but even though we are near peak fear, we may still have to deal with a global capitualtion dump of assets before we can go up. The FED seem hell bent on destroying their economy, and for us it means months of uber strong dollar and imported inflation. We may have to go for some eye watering rate rises to defend the currency, or you end up with Turkey style collapse and 80% inflation.
Good to be aware of it so you don't over-react with the herd when it happens. The last thing to do is sell at the bottom of a capitulation dump..
A good indication of what the experts at the Banks think is savings rates and what Might happen with in the future..with inflation/ BOE interest rates Atom online bank showing ...
2 year fixed savers rate 4%
3 year fixed savers rate 3.7%
5 year fixed savers rate 3.7%
just a observation i noted
