Real wage growth at 2.9% beats expectations and points to further evidence economy is moving along nicely.

Market isn't interested though. Even though interest rates rises now look more likely sterling has not reacted and banks have continued to sell off which is the opposite of what is normally expected.

I guess the market is going nowhere until Brexit is sorted

Perhaps, the market is sceptical of the figures.

Good morning!

Good morning

Morning all.

It is very quiet.

Is everybody still on holidays?

It's always quiet now.

No-one invests in shares any longer. We are just dinosaurs who haven't worked out the real money is in crypto.

Also all the ramping is now on twitter. No-one under the age of 25 would be seen dead using a computer.

And then I guess we have "professional client status" which has killed off a number of the rampers trading on margin.


I'm off to see CMC in Birmingham tomorrow:

I am not even sure why I'm going. I hope to meet some traders/investors who live near me who I might learn something from. At worst I hope for a decent glass of red wine.

Lol CC!🤣

cc.

Was going to the CMC meeting, but decided to meet up with chess playing friends from 70years ago in Cardiff.

Have to inspect each other to see whether we have another year or not left in us.

The glass of wine would be nice, but I will be the chauffeur.

Enjoy the meeting.

Interested to know if it was any good.

Good morning!

Good morning

Morning!

Welcome back Skinny.


BOE today at 12:00 not that anyone is expecting any surprises.


I find myself in a strange position. I am feeling rather optimistic about my portfolio.

Now let's get RBS back over 150, LLOY over 60

Morning all, Yes welcome back Skinny.

Thanks - after checking on things, I feel like a need a holiday.......

Don't worry Skinny the ft100 rises in the last week of Sept (but avoid the last trading day)...well thats what is supposed to happen -):

Good morning!

Good morning

Morning!

Market extremely slow today and order books very thin. No data either.

Looks to me like the algo's are trying to buy without disturbing prices and not succeeding.

Will RBS have another go at 250 and get through this time? Will LLOY be a quid before Christmas (or 50p). 60p would be a good start. I feel my best chance is MARS will get the right side of 100
