@Barchid. I thought so mate.
@ Fairdealer.
That's what I thought mate.
Trent
Thanks for the google, but I was aware !
Hopefully today the board will stay on topic, it was a good upswing for Mars yesterday on decent volume, but I have to still report that around where I live pubs are perceptibly more quiet than I would have expected, not helped by the weather here, for sure, but it appears in other regions they are going gang busters, so as always, time will tell.
Trent I guess barchid was referring to the Boeing 777
@Barchid.
RE: B777 engines.
I think it depends on the aircraft customer's preferences. Some prefer the RR engines, others prefer the Pratt & Whitney, and others prefer the General Electric ones
I didn't know that, I Googled it.
I think I need to occupy my mind a bit more lol.
This was a strong buy under ninety now I think investors missed the price
YoYoMa
Yes, I agree, really rather sad, especially the midnight rambling....
or maybe non binary became binary either way they're a 2 in my eyes..............
There is something even more peculiar, the tinder lady joined lse on 15 May 2020 and has made very few, 3 or 4, posts in the last month.
Now the 777 (I believe they use Trent engines from RR, not the aforementioned 211's) joined lse on 15 May 2021.
Maybe the nom de plume changes each birthday ?
Note both have gone from "Strong Buy" to "No Opinion". Coincidence????
I've set my alarm for 4am to see what it feels like to get up for a quick keyboard warrior session...... I may press snooze like I do with all the ramblings of SuperDischarger and his one man mission to take a dogecoin to the moon.
FD
Well they both post at nocturnal hours, we did have something similar with the user of Tinder a few months ago if you recall ?
I wonder what the next topic might be, given his revelation that he used to work at Lloyds I suggest asbestosis could be a likely ramble ?
barchid, could they be one and the same person?
Thanks for the pointers
I'm watching Melrose
And heavily invested in RR
Great minds and all that
Be good
The Jimbo
Far be it for me to interrupt the rivetting news re RR & Melrose on the Marstons board but it could be more relevant to investors to know that at 1pm the FT reported that the average volume in MARS was already exceeding the daily average by 60.8%, which I realise is not half as interesting to learn that RB211 engines burn fossil fuels, but it might be relevant to genuine investors in Marstons as opposed to our "Midnight Rambler" and his fantasies.
Both in the Aviation industry. RR when I was at Lloyds working with the Aviation Industry found them to be the most reliable Jet engine and of preference to most Countries airlines (with money). They are/were also the largest service provider for all jet engines across the world using their own service centres to service not only their own but almost all other jet engines too and would have accounted for maybe 80% servicing of all commercial jets in the World. When more get flying definitely one to watch. Melrose too are heavily employed in the AVN Industry as well as now owning GKN who produce the power units for a large no. of elect.cars aswell as motor industry and avn industry -so worth keeping an eye on too. I also hold both. R-R also have in progress new local mini nuclear power stations on offer that could go to local communities where more electric power is required. Allegedly more environmentally friendly than the old RB211 fossil fuel burning rigs, and might become a necessity the way the world is going for electric! Good luck!
Thanks Barchid. I'm looking forward to it. The same as many others, we've barely been out of the house for the past 12+ months beyond going to the supermarket etc.
I was bloody close to putting a suit on to take the sod*ing bins out.
Our youngest lad knows nothing about it yet, we're gonna see how long it takes him to work out where we're going when we get off.
Trent
Enjoy your trip !
Hopefully weather is starting to improve soon too.
To see our friends in The Midlands all sorted.
We'll be making our way off to The Glassworks for our Sunday lunch (and a few scoops of the good stuff) while we are there.
Had to stay at a Premier Inn, but they do serve a good drop of chilled Hobgoblin Gold on draft.
The things I do to help our shares. I hope my efforts are appreciated :-) :-):-).
OK interweb people
In the interests of 'full disclosure' I have set a purchase order
Looking for a small retrace...if you could oblige me please that would be nice...otherwise I have probably missed this entry point
Kind regards
Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz ( Jimbob ) the Jimster
Supercharger
Yes I like CpG too
Thank you for your thoughts on pub trade recovery
Kind regards
Jim
Will think on it
If we have 1500 from June, say even 700 open now. Say on avge 25 customers a day (most likely far more). £25 spent? 25 x 25 x 700 = say 437,500 takings a day, that will double from June.
Even Ralph F - reported recently that many pubs have reported in with increased sales on what they even anticipated so once Holiday makers work out that there are some great places to holiday in the Uk the summer should this year be far better than most with an increased client base. With good weather coming from the end of next week the next qtrs figures should make far better reading.
I have holdings also in Compass and Whitbread to make the most of any further unlocking from July.
Yep...thanks for your replies so far....appreciated
I personally have ethical issues with 'shorters' can't accept making money to bring stock down is a nice way to be
My attitude is...pile in on a trough to level it out a bit and stop a crash...gracefully pull out again on a rise...leaving it to others to make long term profits
Where I am on Marstons is that I worry about the balance sheet...and thats fundamental to all types of trading
But
I really like the brand for lots of reasons
The biggest being that it is visible at the supermarkets
Thats it for today...enjoy whats left of the weekendy end
Kind regards
Jimbo
Good points sharperite.
It is good to see some more positive points from someone willing to invest like me in Mars. I regret there are two of three on here who probably work from the same address trying to pull down this share so they have either shorted or have sold off and want a lower entry point. Not worth listening to unless you look at it like I do now they actually work for me!
Your words are true and what anyone normal would expect. I can see what with the weather we have been having of late which lets face it has been over cast for too long will soon change for the better, and Marstons always do better in a nice hot summer! Lots to look forward to here. Many analysts have said recently they expect this share once it gets up and running to be a £1.60 share perhaps £2. So I am topping up on the falls. I suppose I should be thanking the three negative amigo's really as last year they made me a fortune. Good luck.
777Jimster, some excellent points shading to the negative on most but true none the less, as an alternative point of view I would suggest the following, 1) Pubs now open and trading and it is down to the competance of the landlord/tennant/manager to grow the business in conjunction with Marstons. 2) In house entertainment in the form of the Euros, Test matches, Wimbledon, etc will attract a solid audience. What is to stop local pubs having more live entertainment as well ? 3) Price structure has increased and as long as it does not overprice itself and keeps at a reasonable level then people will use the facilities. 4) Food is generally acceptable and again reasonably priced which attracts families 5)Accomodation will play an increasingly larger part in the fortunes of Marstons and as yet is a partly unknown yet a positive
My perception is that Marsto ns will be around £1.10 by October given a reasonably decent summer which if correct gives a return on the prescent price of 22o/o not withstanding any dividends ( which I do not expect! For me a BUY FOR THE SHORT TO MEDIUM TERM.
