Good morning.

Another annoying day so far. Whilst the banks are up a bit, my INTU, HMSO, BLND are all struggling.

Something to do with statements from RBS possibly on Brexit.

Regulators say banks near full compliance with post-crisis capital rules

Skinny your above link doesn’t work.

Post 42? - yes it does.

Skinny, Well it didn’t 5 minutes ago have you changed the link as that looks different and does work?

No - only posted it the once.

How very strange some odd things going on here lately.

Right - off to stick my head in the sand and hope my portfolio looks better later.

5 stocks down by more than 2.5%, nothing up apart from LLOY and RBS and overall not a great day.

Wondering just how long we can go on with this. As long as Brexit I guess.

'Complete insanity' of Italy debt plans may lead to huge restructuring - euro officials

At individual stock level worst day for a very long time. Fortunately stake sizing mitigates size of loss, and got a few stocks up a tiny bit.

HMSO down 6%, BLND down 5.2%, LWB down 5.1%, INTU down 3.2%

Rest fine. Hopefully tomorrow will look different

BLnd ex div today, so only down 4% or so. Near 5 year lows, maybe a buy soon, Brexit depending? H

Don't worry, I have been told that everything will be better after Brexit.

Good Morning.

The Papers

Morning all.

Good morning. Possible offer for INTU today. Once again an example of just how much the city keep selling down UK shares only for a party to step in and take advantage.

Closed at 149p I suspect the offer may be around 200p. My breakeven is 208p but right now I'll take £2 and redeploy my capital elsewhere

Unilever withdraws proposal to move to Netherlands

Good Luck with INTU - I sold out some time ago.

Good morning!

Yes I sold out of INTU at about 330 and then starting buying it on the way back down only to watch it fall to a price that to me was unimaginable when I started.

I've been lucky today. This gets me out of a hole. INTU was the only stock in my portfolio that was causing me real financial pain. I have other losers, but none with the kind of stake size I had on INTU.

I'm not sure what the bid price will be. 200p represents about a 33% increase from last nights close but it would still be a massive discount to NAV. I'll hold and see what happens.

FTSE down another zillion today on top of yesterday.

Actually not too bad for me which I'm thankful for.

Got a few dividend pennies to spend but I think I'll sit on that decision for the moment. Can't decided what my attitude to risk is right now.
