If my wage had been paid into my bank thgis morning when I tried to buy shares, I would be 1% in front by now. It could quite easily go the other way, but I may do it later. I shouldnt really be gambling my wage like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldnt really be gambling my wage like that there are shares giving up to 30-40% roi, had a few last week but if you cant afford to lose dont trade in shares i wouldn't recommend your month salary!! it is just that gambling and reading the market. hospitality are due to boost on the 1m reduction.

We have to attempt to get back to a more 'normal' situation sometime - the present set-up is unsustainable, and damaging, both emotionally and financially - IMHO.

Oh yeah, now who's talking rubbish? So why has it just been announced this evening that the bank of England is going to pump a hundred billion into the economy. In other words they are going to print money, even if technically some of this money will digitally be pumped into the economy. It was only a matter of time. I rest my case. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jun/18/bank-of-england-uk-economy-quantitative-easing-coronavirus-crisis Edited June 18, 2020 by poppet2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Primark said it will not take advantage of a £30m bonus from the government. I dont understand, companies are struggling to stay in profit and Primark are not taking £30 million Government handout. They are keeping their employees, but not taking the Government money? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53380719 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get a £1000 bonus for every member of staff brought back from furlough - but they have said they won’t claim it. Pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple. Wouldnt a company have a duty to its share holders to gain what ever profits it can, so why are they not claiming £1,000 per employee? Is there something wrong with the scheme?
