This SP has been pretty steady since it leapt 18% to 19.5p at the end of June. I haven’t bought in for just over a year – inspired just a week before by Nico’s arrival at his desk – after far too many top-ups in the Winter-era, swearing publicly that that would be my last time – ever! Recently I have been thinking a lot – as it has languished at its lowest point ever, since the ‘one-for-every-100” Consolidation of April 2015 – that, a year after Nico took over the reins, there seem to be real signs of his team’s plans bearing or about to bear fruit in the next few weeks, as well as much positivity here on this Board, and it won’t be long before we begin to see a steady rise in the share price. So much so that, earlier this week, not wishing to miss that imagined boat, I increased my holding by 33% up to a really nice round number while the price was at its lowest. Only time will tell if my timing was good or not. But it’s really cheering to see that 3.6% rise this afternoon. I know taskmaster, themighty and Fjetcrazy have added to their positions this week or last, so – yet again! – I wish ALL holders good luck and for the long-awaited prosperity after so much patience.
Hello Marksman, hope your keeping well, still looking in daily, just think, this time last year I held a few million of these, only the see several 100 for one dilutions which has decreased my holding to a few thousand , how the tide has turned. On a positive note its pleasing to see and hear some positives !!!!! ATVB to all still keeping just a little faith :-) Farruggia1967
Hello Farruggia1967: Good to hear from you again on one of your all-too-rare visits! Nice to know though that you’re one of those who keep an eye daily on the Board’s activity. Apart from some horrendous dental work, I’m fine thank you as I hope you are too. Yes, it does seem odd to reflect that we held millions of these darned things in the distant past. Four years ago exactly when the price was a penny according to my own records, and again in September the following year. Those days are long gone since the 2nd Consolidation of 1 for every 100 in April 2015. Unsurprisingly my holding now, like yours, is in the tens of thousands yet my accumulated investment is six times that of 2013! I hope you’ve done a little better. Don’t leave it quite so long before we hear from you again. ATB. Marksman
Marksman It's good to here, you and your nashers are in good order, at the moment I'm making a handsome profit with IQE, take a look if you haven't already, this is very much the next big thing and defiantly a share to for a great future with potential for great rewards. As always mate DYOR but don't let this one slip you by!!!! Take care.
Typo- And defiantly a share to hold for a great future .
Sadly, gnashers far from being in good order but too O/T to elaborate on! So glad you’re doing so well with another share. Thanks for the tip. Apart from my latest chunk thrown again at fastjet, mainly with the aim of reducing my break-even point (which I’ve dropped by a respectable 22%), I’ve not invested anywhere else after selling so many others to, again, feed my obsession with this company. I know, I know!! Since it’s the weekend, and so unusually for me!!, I’ll write at greater length! Prompted by your thoughtful offer. I had a similar suggestion made to me back in early 2013 on the (then) British Airways II forum by one I R Baboon (whatever happened to him?) He posted (from memory) “If you’re interested in airlines, you might like to check out fastjet.....” which I’d never heard of. I fell for the whole concept of an easyJet-type start-up in Africa with innocent confidence. And even backed by Sir Stelios himself. The rest, ATS, is history! (And I lay no blame at I R B’s door, btw.) Needless to say, I’m not making comparisons with your recommendation which I’ll give serious consideration to on Monday morning – if I haven’t missed the boat already? Have a good weekend.
Farruggia1967: Well you seem to be proving to be right with Saturday’s tip. My initial research suggests that you’ve already more than doubled your investment, so congrats. I feel I’ve already missed the boat after more rises both yesterday and this morning but I guess they just confirm your forecast. So I’ve just taken up your tip and made an investment, modestly in keeping with funds presently available. I shall double that when a transfer of more is in place, later today I hope. Thanks again.
Hi Marksman Good to here your on-board,I think there is a huge future with the company and it really is the next big thing, Its the lead we have over others that's pleasing and the demand is out of hand, we're investing in a new facility in Newport south wales to try and keep up with demand. I got in at 54p with a nice tip from someone very much in the know. ATVB
54p! Wow! That's the sort of tip to have!
Hi Farruggia1967: I thought I'd better post this on the appropriate LSE Board, certain I'd find you there! But no. Though I see that another fastjetter is! Just wanted to let you know I added another 150% to my position there, benefiting from an unexpected slight dip this morning.
Hi JT I see you are new. If you really want to find out the name of the company it can be found in previous posts. My strong advice is not to chase rainbows. Read everything you can about the company, RNSs and so forth, and then invest if you want to. It is easy to get carried away so don't invest more than you can afford. Marksman has wisely indicated that future discussion will take place on the appropriate BB for the share.
Hi Ronwin. I don't think it was anything to do with his being new, nor did he need your advice. JT was simply pointing out that this supposed to be a FJET board. And I agree with him. Welcome, JT!
Marksman made it abundantly clear to me that this board was for FJET only.... yet was happy to discuss the tempting fruit of another stock when it suited - luckily the error was picked up swiftly before full blown armageddon ensued . No harm done.
