The London Stock Exchange bats for More Lesbian Visibility or is it less?

When I say that some of my best friends are lesbians I really am not kidding. The lovely Abbe who broke my heart in 1986, my best friend from Oxford Elaine and the only one I did not proposition but whom my Godfather had once married, Olaf’s old headmistress. All out and proud so I have no issue with Lesbian Visibility Week. After all, barely a day goes by when we all don’t shout at the BBC for not having more members of the Lionesses talking about their g/fs, Claire Balding, Alex Scott et al on that day. So I am delighted that the London Stock Exchange (LSE) where I am a loyal shareholder, supports #LesbianVisibilityWeek..

I shockingly agree with Vince Cable on the London Stock Exchange

I put my hands up and admit there are some companies about which I just cannot get my head around their share valuation. One of these is the London Stock Exchange (LSE) which - from the perspective of its share price appreciation over recent years - has performed rather well. Yes, I get the natural monopoly angle and some well-timed expansions into different markets and different products, but a x54 P/E and a measly 0.5% dividend yield are starting metrics that indicate...enthusiasm rather than value. And then, of course, there are the range of critiques that this website has highlighted for example, here. Anyhow, back to me and Vince…

LSE AIM Statistics for June 2019 - these truly are awful stats for the “worlds leading growth market”

The joke management of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) continues to insist that the AIM Casino is the world’s leading growth market. But the hard data from June 2019 shows once again that the fat cat LSE bosses are ‘avin’ a giraffe.

The Stock Exchange steals my cash because I am relatively efficient

Via our broker,the London Stock Exchange (LSE) warned me that unless FIML and also my pension fund had what is called an LEI number by January 3rd it would be unable to trade. I filled in complex forms on behalf of FIML and applied. I handed over £138 including VAT and today FIML got its number.
