    Sir, that means (as far as share price is concerned) that you are fooked.

      Actually it means as I was only 40 quid under, I am now at breakeven for the month with the exception of the 90 quid to come on SL divvies.

      So that's 90 quid on 27k in three weeks or so.

      I am confident that by the end of the week my 27k will be at least 30k & I shall be at your reserved VIP table at Spearmint Rhinos in Birmingham with a wodge of five pound notes throwing them at the girls. (I hear there have been complaints about you hurting the girls throwing 50p pieces!)

            No Brainer?

            Government to sell off Lloyds shares at a 5% discount to market, plus a 10% bonus if you hold for a year (£200 cap). Smaller applications (<£1000) to be given priority.

            Sounds like a no-brainer, but don't start selling your Glencore just yet. Its been announced during the conference season, but it ain't happening till March....

            My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

              Yeah, it is, but it's difficult to get too excited about this; any worthwhile amount is going to be massively scaled back, and it isn't the same prospect as Royal Mail. Still, if it's running via Hargreaves Lansdown, I'll punt up to what I think they might not scale to zero (£5k perhaps?).

                    Right. All shares up and Glencore flying.

                    Better get a haircut those girls at Spearmint Rhinos won't like a man with untidy hair.

                    You got to be init, to win it.

                      Appears that I just shy of 3k up now, cool considering I was almost 3k down at the beginning of last week.

                      AtW, Che Guevara, Jeremy Corbyn, Mao Tse Tung, Edgar Allan Poe, Leon Trotsky, can you hear me, can you hear me? Your boys took a helluva beating.

                      (No doubt back to zero by the end of the week)
