It's so great to read what I consider to be a measured and honest view how some people seem to use this chat share to spread spurious outlandish claims.
I usually follow the IAG share chat and believe me, there are folks who post there that make even some wild posters here seem measured.
I posted this over there just 2 days ago -
So, you'll probably see the length of this post and think, I ain't reading that. Life's to short (not short selling)
So, as I've said elsewhere on this sharechat, I'm a bit of a newbie to investing and finding my feet.
However, I'm not a newbie to life and understanding how things work.
I thought I'd use this lse share chat across many different company chats to glean some insight and knowledge to help me make informed decisions how to invest my money in different companies.
That's why we are here right?
Blimey, how naive was I.
So, before I decided to spend my hard earned cash on shares I had my own criteria. Pretty simple really -
1. Before, despite, because of Covid, will a company go bust. (Think flow chart, if not, go to point -
2. How long has this company been going, firm up your knowledge of its core business and is it diverse enough to ride out most storms. Then onto -
3. Am I willing to ride the wave of ups and downs, if I believe LONG TERM I can add value to my pension pot. Finally -
4. Am I willing to lose the money I've invested if I got everything wrong? Onto -
5. Yes I am, I'd be p****d off for sure, but I'm not betting the farm.
Saying all of that, I'm amazed at how some of you guys n girls bicker and fight. Point score with wildly ridiculous predictions of share prices. Almost gloating when some admit to losing money and others posting 'your £3 investment will be worth 80p tomorrow'. Almost with glee.
So here (finally) is my point. I've lost a bit, but mostly made enough dough to keep me in beer money and happy days over the last 3 months.
There are a few on here I totally respect and listen too (but don't always follow their advice) and others I laugh at their audacity (but don't discount)
I personally only buy into companies that fit my criteria when their sp is being hammered down.
Hence I have-
IAG at 166 and 172
RR at 263
BT at 107
BP at 287 and 307
I await being told they will soon be -
IAG 80
RR 60
BT 44
BP 100
ALL that aside, good luck all on ALL your investments

"When I see comments with words to the effect of, “this share is still too high”, or “it has a lot further to fall”, or "I will be buying, but not until it reaches sub 200", you have to ask yourself what is the motive for such comments? "
rr.investor
welcome..thanks for your view
can i ask why you didnt add in there the comments like "600p next year " and the such like and the motives behind such ramping comments ?
I guess I can be seen to be "negative" but in doing so I have saved myself a fortune for not paying more for a share than I believed it was worth at that moment..such thinking to me was hugely "postive" to my trading account and the ability to buy more shares for my money
All the best
RR investor you 100% correct there are too many naive inexperienced people on here who just don’t get share dealing and this business ,I think they should just trott along to the Aim board that’s where all the hype and day reading is at a premium,there is some real numptys on here at present with nothing to add to the debate ,good luck mate
Well RRI. People should remember why they bought in in the first place and then you make any further decisions based on factual events. Listen to the scaremongers and you shouldn’t be investing. DYOR and make your own decisions. It’s pretty easy to pick out the rampers either up or down.
The idea of these boards is to share thoughts, ideas and any information one might know or discover on a share, that might be of assistance to other holders. It allows for opinions, positive and negative, based on factual information, or reports read in the media, or from other sources.
I do wish the ones that are blatantly attempting to unnerve other shareholders, would disappear! (I could of put it into stronger words, but I think this is more subtle and respectful, even though you do not deserve politeness, and you will all know who you are)!

If you are also suggesting that RR. is going bust (or the government will be taking it over), but in the meantime if the price goes below 200 and you would buy, how is your money going to be safe even at that rate!
Rolls Royce is carrying out a lot of housekeeping at the moment, (like many other companies), and the benefit will be significant in the long term to the business and ultimately to shareholders. Covid 19 was outside of the company’s control, but what they do now will re-shape the company for the future. Rome was not built in a day and these changes will take time to be felt.
I know it is a free world and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but current investors either short or long term, get tired of reading pages of posts that contain a lot of rubbish, its so amateurish, as other posters have said, it is laughable, but can also get boring and tiresome!
It’s bad enough having to read most of the doom and gloom the media put out there on many different subjects, obviously the main objective is to spread fear and disaster, to destroy and damage as many peoples lives and companies with whatever trash they can write, draw in readers with shocking headlines, but then they are paid to do this. If they were printing good stories, they would not sell, it’s as simple as that!
If you have worthy information please feel free to post. Anyone that is not able to do this, please go and waste your time on another board!
Good day to you all.
