Fooking post of the year!

Summary if you can't be RSed to read it:

France had everything sorted with nuclear power

Interfering cunts from other countries and the gas and oil industry brainwashed everyone and fucked the world up even more with the dream of renewables....

Long live the republique! Truth or cognitive bias?

Are retns going to reduce in Londinium.BTLers to get their 3% gross yield squeezed some more in the smoke? Smaller/cheaper places moving up??

The combination of work-from-anywhere, ridiculously expensive rents, and coronavirus-fears associated with being on crowded elevators in apartment towers, is doing a job on the rental market in San Francisco. And not just in San Francisco, but also in New York, Seattle, Boston, San Jose, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Denver, and other expensive big-city rental markets. But it’s hitting San Francisco, the most expensive rental market, the hardest.

In some other markets, rents are skyrocketing. So here we go with our roller-coaster ride through the cities.

Of course,renewables are fantastic for gas,and the supply chain,oil.Thats why the cycle ahead where they build out massive amounts will be fantastic for big oil.

Lets hope BP get the run up in price before they start selling too many assets.

Telia offloads carrier unit to pension fund for $1.1 billion

Swedish telco group Telia has bowed out of the international carrier services market.

The company on Tuesday announced it has agreed to sell Telia Carrier to Swedish pension investment vehicle Polhem Infra for the princely sum of SEK9.45 billion ($1.06 billion). Telia and Telia Carrier have established a long-term strategic partnership to ensure they can still serve wholesale and enterprise customers effectively.

“The divestment of Telia Carrier highlights the value Telia has built in its digital infrastructure – and today we are able to crystallise some of that value,” said Telia CEO Allison Kirkby, in a statement. “As a consequence, we can now fully concentrate on our Nordic and Baltic footprint, while we at the same time have secured future access for our customers to Telia Carrier’s world-leading solutions.”

For years now the international carrier services market has been characterised by downward pressure on prices, termination rates and roaming fees – as well as a fall in volume of wholesale voice traffic – driven by regulation and the rise of free or extremely cheap, Internet-based comms providers.

A quick scan of Telia’s financial reports shows that between 2015 and 2019, revenue at Telia Carrier fell by 18.2 percent. Carriers are working their socks off to offset declines in their legacy markets by rolling out services to global hyperscalers and OTT players, but judging by Telia Carrier’s books, they have yet to reach an inflection point.

The value then is in Telia Carrier’s reach and the capability of the underlying infrastructure. Given that people and businesses are only going to use more and more data going forward, it makes sense that pension funds on the look out for long-term bets would be interested.

“We see it as a long-term investment in digital infrastructure, one of our core areas,” commented Mikael Lundin, CEO of Polhem Infra, in a separate statement.

The cash and debt free deal will see Telia book a SEK7 billion capital gain at closing. Crucially for Telia’s investors, it has enabled the company to reinstate its 2019 full-year dividend to SEK2.45 per share. Telia was forced to cut its payout in March this year to SEK1.80 per share after coronavirus lockdown measures saw revenues plunge at its TV and Media division. Its cash reserves have since been boosted though: in addition to today’s deal, Telia in June sold its Turkcell stake for SEK4.72 billion.

“The majority of the proceeds from the [Telia Carrier] sale will be used to strengthen our balance sheet and thereby provide a solid financial base for Telia Company and our shareholders, enabling both investments in services and networks in our core markets as well as providing a strong foundation for attractive shareholder remuneration,” Kirkby said.

As for Polhem Infra, it is now the proud owner of 67,000 km of directly-owned fibre backbone, and 320 PoPs. “Telia Carrier transports a significant amount of all public Internet data traffic. Telia Carrier is one of the leading companies in the world in this industry. This digital infrastructure is a national asset that Polhem Infra will own,” Lundin said.

Polhem is jointly owned by a group of Swedish national pension funds: First AP Fund, Third AP Fund and Fourth AP Fund. They form the country’s income-based pension scheme, funded by taxpayers. “With Polhem Infra, Telia Carrier gets a long-term stable owner with digital infrastructure as a core area. Polhem Infra’s long-term perspective gives stability for customers, employees and society,” Lundin said.

Don't go there, the spreads are sh!te, seriously anybody who trades that now is worse than me* 

it's ok if you got in at the bottom and you're HODLing for a few million 

*I trade Cable on margin with a CFD account......and DAX and Nasdaq......but more often than not I get my arse handed to me on a plate.....hence the need to concentrate more on 'longer term' investments 

PS if you trade cryptos cos you think they only go up, the same applies to the Stock Markets yes? So it's a case of 'picking bottoms' or trading 'pullbacks'........

IE. I fucked RDSB up the arse last week; bottom picking AND leverage combined........now it's a question of how long can I run it for???.........we have a RUNNER OUT OF STABLE 6, YEEHAH!!

Good interview 

 

Australia housing around the 2 minute mark about how recently they are removing the responsible lending rules for mortgages 

 

Some have mentioned here about governments will always support the housing market god knows what's they plan

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/boris-johnson-speech-conservative-party-conference-111324985.html

Johnson used a major speech on Tuesday at the Conservatives’ annual conference, held virtually for the first time, to tap into the party’s traditional focus on home ownership. “We will help turn generation rent into generation buy,” he said.

The prime minister vowed to hand aspiring buyers new long-term, fixed-rate mortgages with just 5% deposits, in the “biggest expansion of home ownership since the 1980s.” The right-to-buy policy in that decade helped many council tenants buy their own homes.

They have many many branches.. i really don't know.. siemens building automation, siemens trains, siemens traffic lights, siemens medical make the big body 3d scanners.. and on and on it goes.. 

But the one that might be interesting is the turbine technologies.. 

Make lots of wind farms and water turbines, wave as well i think.. 

Not sure if they do solar as well..

I've not checked my shares.. im a bit lazy.. but the message I got was talking about the energy sector splitting from the main siemens parent company.. 

I'm no investor.. i just buy a few big companies and hope for the best..

Harley, might be of interest, most of these have been discussed on here (i even own some, for my sins!! - as i bought in at too high price)

For the oil co's how about - ENI? Is Ovintiv to small?

Services - RPC inc., Helix Energy, Newpark Resources, Core Labs, Petrofac                                            

Are you also doing infrastructure?... Plains All American, Kinder Morgan, National Fuel Gas, Entreprise Prod Partners, Inter Pipeline Ltd, ENB, Atmos Energy, Phillips66, DCP Midstream, Atmos

Here's my list for the Investing.com Natural Gas Utilities industry.  Same criteria as before.  DYOR as before!

A few of the missing ones on your list but many failed with bad current ratio scores.  Some real dogs!  C****** was in there briefly but there were bigger boys, just as well given its 508% debt ratio!  However, a couple on the list are eye watering too.  One company seems to have 83% of its assets as goodwill and/or intangibles!  Generally a bit of a dog sector (polarised scores) based on my limited review requiring some careful footwork, unless a rising tide floats all boats or, as Buffet would possible say,  covers up the naked swimmers!

Warning:  My prior list, which I deleted, contained errors.  Maybe this one does too so please DYOR.

An effective restructuring and higher oil prices are essential for Shell, as on its current path the stock is set to continue declining according to WalletInvestor. Its Shell share price prediction has the stock halving again to £4.71 per share based on its current trajectory.
