And a 830 mile border with a new nato member total own goal if putin tried to shoot himself in the foot he'd probably miss. Gla holders regards jack
22,000 dead, is that what winning looks like?
There is a very big! difference between being able to roam around streets in an armoured vehicle, and being 'in control'. At lot of those towns have regular demonstrations against occupiers.
Reuters.com: Putin sees no threat from NATO expansion, warns against military build-up.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-calls-finland-sweden-joining-nato-mistake-with-far-reaching-consequences-2022-05-16/
dream on Belgrade, Zelenskyy now holds the winning hand. On what basis should he now save Putin after the death, murder, rape and destruction? There is a lot of wishful thinking on here. You're deluding yourselves. The end game is going to be a hard one for Putin.
Russia may have secured its land link with the Crimea, however the land gain is nothing like they would have liked, and everyone knows that its oil and gas sales to the west are doomed and will cost them huge income streams in the years to come.
However they may now have enough to settle for an end to hostilities, I hope Ukraine would be wise enough to accept it, because they have done a heroic job in retaking land and standing firm against overwhelming odds. Would be foolish for them not to also agree to a ceasefire and worthwhile talks.
Believe peace and lifting of sanctions is now taking a good step forward, which is pretty essential to the many investors here. Both sides have achieved enough to keep their honour intact.
Wise words!
wish I'd had spare cash, an ISA, commission free trading, fast internet access for trading and bulletin boards when I was in my 20's!!
good luck to you Bot, you are in a golden age for private investing.
the two most important rules to me
1. never invest money that you can not afford to lose
2. be pragmatic - don't get too emotional about any losses, move on with time you will make it back, you only need get it right 51% of the time to win overall
following rule 1 religiously, makes rule 2 much easier ;-)
Thanks! GL on your investments wish I was so savvy I'm my 20's.
Oh yes! Don't see any reason for it not to, they've got such strong fundamentals. The worst the gov could pin on them was supplying steel for wheels and rail for civil purposes, and in order to sanction them, they've cited that this steel which was intended for civil use, well before any whispers of an invasion to ukrain, is aiding the russian government, it's laughable!
Aye, rather late than never though! I'm sure you've got this! :)
Aye, did the maths myself, it does look rather nice! Will reassess the situation as and when the divis are re-instated... Will most likely re-invest the divis in other high divi yield companies, so as to spread the risk whilst maximising the profits... and then use my income to continue investing in more growth type stocks and beaten down blue chips...
Nicest thing is that all of it is within my various ISAs, so every penny will be tax-free!
Thanks @Just-Anathor-Bot, GL & ATB to you too mate! :)
Fingers crossed for a nice leap on EVR when they get back. You've got years on me in that then, left it late and having to save silly amounts to get a pension together. I took the liberty of going on to thecalculatorsite.com and taking a stab at your compound interest, just on POLY, this is not financial advice, I strongly suspect you don't need any!! :) but if you reinvest even without much risk, you will be laughing for an early retirement, good on you if you decide that. GL DYOR DIOR DOOR ECT
I personally don't try to guess shares price's. there are many successful people, that do just that, but I prefer a Warren Buffet style approach, maybe with a touch more risk for added spice. WB says don't try to predict short term price movements, just basically ask 2 questions, is it a good business? Is it a good price? Of course you've got other stuff to consider like political, trends, etc. Though a good business should theoretically be able to overcome these obstacles, as we are seeing these businesses navigate sanctions etc.
I normally like to have a look at the finances, revenue, profit etc, with growing revenues/profit. During the lockdown, ai was having a look at various shares. One was Intu, that run various shopping centers etc. I decided not to buy based on, declining revenues, and declining values of retail properties. Glad I did that leg work, because shortly after they went bust!
@Just-Another-Bot wow, that's a very nice amount!! with that, a return to £15 that'll fetch you a very nice 210K, plus dividends at that level, that's very cushty for your retirement!
I've only got 3447, but I'm only 25, so with a return to normal levels, plus a few years of divis, that'll be very chusthy! Plus, I bought 23119 shares in EVR at only 52.22, so a return to normality over there will be very happy days! XD
Feeling for you on that, have sold a couple of dog eared going nowhere shares but nothing too big, actually helped me cut the rope with them. Have 14,000 shares now, not enough to make me a millionaire like some here :D but enough to make a big difference to retirement, even just on Kaz will make a difference. Am hoping it takes off soon, am hoping it hangs on like you, maybe I can get another 500 :) GL all, after all this drama and considered input you deserve a reward!!
@Onlyonewhufc Nice! I wish I had more to spare to buy more, but I'm all set now... hoping prices stay low until pay day on the 23rd, but then am considering JRS to diversify my investments among the beat-up Russian-exposed stocks... so we'll see... As much as I want to, I am not risking selling other of my investments to pile more in here though, that would not be very sensible as that would be a bit on the emotional side then, and as I said, I try never to invest emotionally...
@Ade1234 has a very good point.
On another Share, CNA, their was(is) a poster called Porky9(I loved reading him)
Last year he promised me that SP-CNA would hit £54 soon...so I know I'll be very rich.... very soon?
Among the dross-posts there is also some good information...a case of DYOR.
On another topic -I always suspected Angela Merkel, seemed too well connected;
chatting often & easily with Tyrant Putin in fluent Russian.
At the age of 10yrs her family had moved to East Germany.
In 1968, aged 14yrs, an intelligent and impressionable, Angela, happily
joined the Free German Youth(FDJ), the official Communist Youth Movement
sponsored by the ruling Marxist–Leninist Social Unity Party of East Germany.
Was Angela another KGB-Commy-Party-Plant?...Who knows?
Kuurj...
I'm thinking the same, I managed to get another batch of poly shares this morning at £2.37....a steal imo
Cheers, fingers and toes crossed...
@Onlyonewhufc absolutely! With my investments I always look for ones which are underpriced, and ideally already covered by the company's assets, so as to negate any risk of loss due to unforeseen issues such as in the event of insolvency.
- if what is there is already worth more than the price I'm buying in at, then loss is only made if I sell when the SP drops lower. This way I can remain confident to not sell when sentiment is low, and then in worst case I'll still get back what I put in... Obviously that is easier said then done, but that's why I love investing in blue-chip type companies during times like these - very difficult to go wrong that way...
Kuurj...
You're 259 is highly likely to be covered by any potential spilt which I'm sure you've taken into account?
@Matt, @Ade1234 has a very good point.
I like to use these boards to get a feel for sentiment, but always bear in mind that most people have an agenda.
Try to look for comments which have well formed points, and arguments, but always DYOR. Factcheck things that others say, and don't take it for granted.
I enjoy reading posts from posters like @Fair Analyst, @Big Blue and @Pandamonia, as they often bring something valuable to the table... I tend to ignore emotionally heated crap, as people on here unfortunately tend to easily get drawn into arguments, which quite quickly devolve into childish drivel, however, some of the arguments and debates can be very informative...
Ultimately, be careful of people ramping and de-ramping, i.e. making it look like a goal in the bag or using extreme fear tactics. Some are honest opinions, but others have an agenda.
The key with investing is NEVER do it emotionally - otherwise you WILL make big mistakes. Read up on the great investors and how they've done it, trust your research, and don't panic sell if something isn't going as expected - markets recover, and often when things are down, people sell when they're closest to the bottom. Good thing is to average down, buy as price drops, but don't over-expose yourself.
My personal opinion, with POLY, short term will be volatile, and highly dependent on the progress of the Russia/Ukraine situation.
I guarantee, that if it ends soon, we will see a very rapid gain in SP, followed by a correction as people cash in profits, and then a steady climb or descent to real value. If it doesn't end soon, then the SP is likely to slowly move lower, as it has been doing over the past few weeks since the last high. I myself bought in at 259 GBX, so sitting on a bit of a loss, but IMO still a very good price - can't predict the future with certainty... at time of buying I had suspected price would move a bit lower, but for a matter of a few percent, I wasn't willing to loose out on the gain potential that the company has, so I piled in there.
Ultimately, choice is yours, consider all things carefully, fundamentals of the company, micro and macro economic factors, and the geo-political factors.
Any price predictions are just predictions, unless you have a crystal ball, they are the least important consideration in comparison to the aforementioned. I myself am reading up a bit on Technical analysis, to help me understand price predictions a bit better, but that only compliments the other fundamentals for Long-term investing.
Good luck mate! :)
Matt my top tip is don't trust anyone on these boards, they are full of liars idiots and pro rampers.
Hi. I'm fairly new to this and not having much luck. So I thought I'd ask some experienced traders... anyone got a clue what this week will be looking like...
