Notice even food sales falling.People maxed out of course.Looks like the margin pressure is really biting now.Your doing a fantastic job if you can hold turnover,but input costs keep going up.The government forcing through big NMW increases is crazy in this macro situation.

Rates down and easing should be the story now,but they are too late,the damage is in the system.Big ticket items will be next like cars.Id expect the average age of cars on the road to go up from here .

You guys should really consider moving up here.Newcastle airport 30 minutes,Kings Cross 2hrs 10 mins from Darlo mainline station.Coast 20 minutes away,Lake District 1hr 20,Scotland the same.Its very safe (apart from Boro).Just avoid the small ex pit villages and stick to the bigger market towns.Durham itself is on the east coast mainline.

I looked into moving from East Yorkshire further North to get a bigger house without having to borrow any money. My house is worth about 140k and Durham , Cumbria and Scotland were about the only places i could seriously think about doing it.

I go to quite a lot of gigs where i live now though , Leeds 30 miles , Sheffield 35 , Manchester 70 , York 20 , Hull 25.  I'd have to sacrifice something i really enjoy for a bigger house.

When beloved value chains Primark and Premier Inn are reporting lower than expected sales...

No coincidence Provident Financial (Vanquis) reporting very good numbers recently, lender of last resort to pay for essentials.

I have lived in Leeds and Sheffield.I never sold my house,but i was seeing women from there and spending half the week there.5 years in Sheffield, (Killamarsh actually) and about a year in Leeds.I actually liked both places.Sheffield was great for the Peak District etc,really nice places.Leeds was rougher,the girl actually lived on a really rough council estate (Gipton),but no worse than where im from really and i got on well with everyone easy enough,it was also dirt cheap.I used to go to the club with her and her parents some weekends and cant remember spending more than £20,though the lass did smuggle in her vodka in her bag.Leeds was pretty much 1hr 10 mins from my house,Sheffield took around 1hr 40 after they upgraded the bit around Ferrybridge.I did consider moving to Sheffield with her and renting mine out,but decided against it and we split up.The Leeds one was a lovely girl,didnt have a penny,but worked full time in a NMW job in a factory ,got a few quid tax credits but it was before Brown rattled them sky high,nice looking lass as well,perfect figure.She had about £220 a week income with two kids and had about £45 rent out of it yet i had to push her just to let me buy her a takeaway etc.I naffed it up hooking up with a lass from Gloucester,she was gorgeous but high maintenance,i sacked her off,but she phoned the Leeds one and dropped me in it.I really wish id never done that as she didnt deserve it and it really hurt her.

Was looking at car prices myself yest. Your are talking 20k for a shit car. 

I'll hold onto my Bentley I think. 

The poor have only themselves to blame. 

Debt, imho, is spending brought forward. It will always leave a hole. The bigger the debt spending spree the bigger the hole. 

We are about to find out how big the hole is.

what does the crest version mean

Decent way to hold foreign stocks.I wouldnt want a huge part of my portfolio done this way,but for a few stocks iv happily used the CDI system,you simply buy as normal,only difference is you do get a small extra charge in the spread as they are sold by a market maker still.I think you avoid stamp duty though on most of them.

Palladium on an absolute tear! currently up $165 / oz on the day.

Its one of the problems i have with Sibanye's current valuation, the 204m Oz of P4E stuff skewed to Palladium for $7bn of market cap?  Thats before you get to the 104m oz of gold....

Only fly in the ointment is Palladium is rising on supply shortages for car exhausts, the kind of thing that gets hit in deflationary crashes!

Next cycle people will start giving miners a value based on oz in the ground,and that will be the time to sell probably.

Has Sibanye 4x yet from the bottom for anyone on here?

Wow, am I a monkey's uncle for selling Sibanye at $4.00 (albeit at a 55% profit)...

As per my previous post, I bought at an average of $2.60, but lost my bottle way too soon.

I do wonder if there's a slight level of depopulation going on

I was in Coventry city centre today.University wasn't as busy with people as a few years back.Could be the time of year.Record levels of student hosuing goingup though.

 

What data you referring to?This

https://www.talkingretail.com/news/industry-news/food-sales-fall-sharply-december-17-01-2020/

Sales at food stores fell by 1.3% in December and by 0.6% over the past three months, new industry figures reveal.

Remarkable that so many retialers are staying up.Interesting as well to see UK hosue builders bombing up past previous peaks eg BDEV

We got some at $2.60 and tranche 2 at $5.Still holding though.Can see them heading down fro  here.

 

Do you remember our chat about Impala ? They were roughly $1.50 at the time.Don't look :ph34r:

We never dabbled.

Gazprom, Shell for safety. Spreadbet on fcg for fun. Stsrting to look at US shale specialists like Chesapeake and Devon. Looking at buying options, but have found Saxo very clunky so far. I'll try IB too. Centrica also has gas exposure through Spirit. And I like DBs viewa on midstream (pipelines etc). The guys selling the picks and shovels made the real money in the gold rush days!

Intersting to see RDSB as one of the few FTSE fallers today.Incredible.

Was thinking about sixing up some options trades on saxo.It is clunky.I much prefer Interactive Brokers.Less fuss.They do the mulitcurrency stuff for you,whereas on Saxo you have to move currencies yourself.I don't like the dealing screen either.BUT the options are super.(I alos like IB's portfolio page whereas with Saxo its at the bottom of the dealing screen)

Was chatting to my Mum today and was saying this bubble has the feel of 2000 all again.Tech stocks rumbling to unprecednet levels,old economy stocks flat as a pancake.I'm looking at these oilies and whilst I'm not metaphircally filling our boots(I think there may be more to come on the downside),I have been steadily moving in as you know XOM <$70,ENI<E14,RDSB<£23,BP<£5,EQNR<£20,Total<E47 etc.Ducked out of Gazprom in August,living to regret it.

 

Ref pipelines,have you got any you're sizing up?

They saw a foot off the beds usually.They also place mirrors all over the place to make them look bigger.The ones near me now all have ^ shaped gardens,about 12 foot long with a bit of false grass and two paving slabs for the bins.Utter shit they are.

Ah, and there was I thinking the mirrors were there to appeal to buyers sexual peccadilos!...and I suppose if you are `into` dwarfs and role playing that would explain the beds as well?! :-)

Could the afford, or want to, pay that? 

 

This...I don't think it necessarily a case of not being able to afford to pay (although it is), but wanting to pay. I have worked hard for my capital and made many sacrifices, I am not prepared to gift it to someone else just because The Market `tells` me I have no choice...I do have a choice!.

In contrast to this, as the majority of people buying only have a small deposit the sums borrowed are meaningless/abstract, they have been conditioned to the belief that owning is the only `way`, and so they have no choice but to pay whatever the price.

Until a greater number say "No" (or are forced financially to say no), we wont see a HPC.

Sterling went up a bit against USD? RDSB often moves down if Sterling goes up due to USD earnings. The same applies to VOD but in Euro terms, that also went down yesterday.

See how its all turning out as we said over two years ago.The dis-inflation cycle ending is forcing the hands of governments.We wont be alone,the EU will follow and then the US and of course China.Javid is 100% right that the market is sending them a signal to spend on infrastructure.Its actually really good for the UK if he kicks this in quickly and might help us compared to the EU etc and before the input prices go up by large amounts.The message is clear and the road map is clear.Inflation might have one last fall,perhaps into outright deflation,but then it turns and heads up.The only question is how high.Low range says 8% by 2027,high range says 16%.

Im really pleased to see the government start to openly say all this.It shows our macro models showing the road map are on track.The reflation is now almost certain.We should be very well placed on this thread to navigate.

 

"Mr Javid said the extra growth would come from spending on skills and infrastructure in the Midlands and the north of England - even if they did not offer as much "bang for the buck" as projects in other parts of the country.

Historically low interest rates, which allow the government to borrow money relatively cheaply, were "almost a signal to me from the market - from investors - that here's the cash, use it to do something productive", Mr Javid said."
