Holding for elder son in his SIPP has been cashed in today to bank a 12.63% uplift. My holding in my ISA remains unchanged.
Being over a certain age I've already had both my vaccinations done, but agree with your prioritization. GL for Sunday.
I think it was an HL item I read that commented that this week many traders have been away from their desks as it's half term week, so things would be a little other than normal. This all goes to reinforce the maxim that patience is a virtue, especially for investors. We look forwards; fingers crossed for June 21.
Oldfortyniner, I have not pressed the sell button, for the simple reason that the argument to continue to hold is more compelling than that in favour of selling. The change in holding by Morgan Stanley has caused the SP to wobble, but today is a down day for most of my holdings so no biggie in the overall scheme of things.... just a litttle larger fall than other holdings.
Since there is some ambiguity on the easing of restrictions (in the UK) provisionally mooted for 21 June, investors will probably want to sit on cash until at least the outlook is a little clearer. I am in that category and see no point in fiddling with my portfolio until at least 14 June when an update will be published by the Government. (Unless something else triggers a decision, of course).
I have my 2nd Covid Vaccination scheduled for Sunday. Much more important than worrying about stock exchange movements.
Excuse the apparent familiarity but alas, Smithy, depending on where you topped up, you're probably going to be heartily brassed off with today's opening. What looks like a shift in position by Morgan Stanley doesn't seem to have done it any favours. You have my commiserations. I haven't changed my holding, but am staying in there for the sort of future you are looking forward to, and this does not look a very pretty start to the end of the week.
Hindsight is brilliant, isn't it? After all, it betrays all the little mistakes, the short term decisions, which when repeated become long term decisions quite unwittingly. Hey, this is not a rhetorical post but more one of strategy where we could all do with sharing others thoughts. So, to start the ball rolling here goes:
I'm not going to pretend that I am right or wrong or have any special knowledge - I am just an ordinary herbert that has been round the block a few times and has made plenty of mistakes.
Latest broker opinion is to sell with a target price quite a bit down from where the shares are now and since published the SP has risen. I have recently added shares, but I don't have the privilege of broker notes, so why have I bought shares? Well, I expect that the share price will rise. I think that the rise will be greater than for its peers such as Diageo (yes I am comparing with a colossus) because I like niche, I like the whopping markup for flavoured water and I like the fact that "Kevin", "Sharon", "Tracey" and "Roy" are choosing Fevertree water instead of "You know who" for whatever reason they want. Perhaps it makes them feel sophisticated or like to be associated with the "brand" - I really don't care. What I do like is that the Kevin's, Tracey's, Sharon's and Roy's are being replicated in new markets which means that volumes of water are likely to increase. That I can't stand the additions of cucumber or any other concoction that for me ruins my evening drink as I wander around the garden trying to ignore the weeds before supper gong sounds I am endure the delights of whatever my wife has concocted., is neither here nor there. Somewhere, people are buying this stuff and, thus far my purchases are not doing too badly.
America (one of the largest markets in the world) is starting to grow - it will make UK sales seem trivial. Brexit rules will settle down and all will be fine in a couple of years for the European market to grow. What about China? That surely is a target market? Growing US markets customers by a compound 7% will have sales to dwarf those in the UK in 9 years. I think that the SP is back on track for exponential growth. Not advice, of course, but the points to support not owning shares in FEVR suggest to me that the recent broker note is tripe.
