@Hindy86 Don't worry, I don't work for HMRC :)
Oil down
Bids for transport companies happening
Finally certainty on results
Get the the CEO potted and finally a rate cut and we are in business here
This chairwoman does she do ANYTHING
Might even go up today, as at least there's a bit more certainty
I half expected the results in the RNS. Nice to be warned for once!
Results on Monday!
Will be interesting to see the numbers and whether it's worth getting back in.
@ronnie you don’t work for hmrc do you? 😂
On this account I could Yh. And I would think on most accounts you can track your progress. I do get what you are saying tho I have multiple accounts and have even closed some down some sites are better than others so it’s kinda like finding the shoe what fits best. Also did they start with a lump sum or do they add it as often as they can do they withdraw it can be a lot to keep track off but you should have some idea of how your doing at all times imo. I had to take a lump some out not so long ago (through no fault of my own) because sometimes life hits you hard… or idiots driving tractors do🤷♂️😂
I've encountered people like this as well, generally its just a 'im up' but not sure how much, or if they've declared it all. there are various sites that can do it all for you as well which makes it easier.
@Hindy86 I'm curious, do you keep track of your portfolio performance since inception? For example, could you tell me what % you are up since you began? (I don't actually want to know) I'm only asking because it became apparent to me recently that many people that I talk to cannot tell me, even though they spend countless hours researching positions. They have multiple accounts and have traded so often, they've 'lost' track of where they are. When I tell them to just take their current portfolio including cash and minus all of their deposits, I am met with a blank stare
Paddy. I won’t miss out tho if it turns because i always keep a core holding. I have buys above £1 my average on paper has gone back upto 93 at the min be lower including anything I’ve banked, il add to again when ready. Like I said i don’t necessarily class it as earning me loads because my main holding is still down more saving me thousands. If your strategy is hold do nothing then moan when it doesn’t work then that’s on you but I wouldn’t be so quick to say ppl are lying or talking bs just because they have a different strategy to you. Take Mary for example she has a similar sort of strategy and I bet she has outperformed anyone who just bought and hold. She knows what’s she’s doing and sticks to her plan, yes she’s an amateur and still gets things wrong but don't we all? I’ve seen ppl make millions doing what she does, and No matter how good you are at this you will get things wrong,
But don’t we all? Imo that’s what stops a lot of you is fear! Fear of being wrong and I know that for a fact because I use to be the same. So I surrounded myself with people who know what they’re doing and learnt. When you learn and come back to lse you realise 90% on here are clueless. This is actually one the best boards I’ve seen tho some intelligent ppl on here,
Poker,wealth, lw to name a few
"Pokerchips and wealthtransfer have been keeping me relatively sane on particularly bad days. "
what about you JG68...
How about you keeping everyone else sane , by giving it a rest with all your moaning about the BOD ..
You are vomiting on the page at times ..give it a rest ..for your and everyone´s sake !!
Its just an assumption.
It changed a few times so far.
Not sure how accurate the following information is, but this is what I have found on Tikr:
Mobico Group Plc expected to report Q1 2024 results on May 2, 2024. This event was calculated by S&P Global (Created on April 4, 2024).
This chairwoman worries me a lot
Done nothing since she got in
Keep up
Your declarations in holdings and length of hold please
It is now the third week of April and still no FY results date. I suppose they're thrashing out accounting on German rail. Surely no further surprises?
Great to hear these stories from the long termers
Only just jumped in but feel there is method behind the madness
Gotta be activists lurking too
Any other stories would be welcomed
Feel that the bod does need a total cleanse and is very elitist seems you only get a role if you’ve been to oxbridge
That’s totally not the right type of people for 46000 employee company
Agree JG, I'm about 45k down and same boat as you. Can't do anything but wait. Would have got out at anything in the 2 dollars at the time and would have grabbed a 15k profit. That seems like paradise now.
JG, Remember: At the end of the storm there's a golden sky!
Hi Hindy, what i don't understand with all these short term type trades is really how you can make profits of any significance while risking missing out if the worm were to turn. I think you've been commenting here since the 120s level. I'm not sure what your initial entry stake was but obviously the trend has been overwhelmingly down since. Same with say JWs comment. Selling at 77p to reenter @68p. Retrospectively it all looks great of course but i don't believe in the real world that is the mindset. Of course all of us would have sold our entire holdings @92p regardless of losses if we knew we could buy back in the 50s. Everyone's mindset then would have been the SP was heading for a £1.
Meant to say cried wolf
Mavswf
Totally with you mate, I'm about 65k down accross my 3 holdings.
So many lost opportunities with so much tied up here, and so little confidence or trust in anything these clowns say, and unfortunately it's like cried woke here now, are the markets ever going to believe what they say ?
Imo not until they meet guidance for at least 3/4 quarters moving forward. Unless of course it's downgraded guidance again.
Jg ahh got ya
Paddy-guilty I’ve said from the start I’m trading round a core and am more trader based
And il be honest the positions I’ve closed on this are in net profit, its saved me loads more than anything its not particularly made me loads because the majority of the time it’s only come down and I’ve only shorted it a couple of times once recently because the updates aren’t exactly screaming buy and like I’d already mentioned the markets needed a flush imo it’s was more a to cover my core holding more than anything but I’ve bottled it closed it and took profit plus it’s getting to an area I’d like to see it hold onto whether or not it will tho will have to wait and see,
I agree with what you said the other day when someone said your trying to scare people 🤣 just because it’s low doesn’t mean it can’t go lower, if they keep underperforming we’ll be punished 🤷🏻♂️
I’m £70k down on circa 160k shares in MCG at an average circa £1 … it’s been easily the worst buy and hold that I’ve ever made in any share in 30 odd years. Made even worse by the fact that it was a coin toss between this and FGP when I first decided to invest in a transport recovery stock and FGP would've returned me 40 pc plus in the same period. The management team has been almost comically inept and the market has treated them accordingly but I still feel that the share price is going to recover here. Not quickly but with a change in sentiment. Public transport is a long term business and this is a solid and diversified business, of course the debt is dragging on profitability but interest rates will come down and I still believe that the Cosmens can’t be fools and have been buying for the long term. They know the long term plan better than we do surely ? It’s frustrating when you have money locked up like this and sat on heavy losses when the opportunity cost has been lost had it been invested elsewhere. However patience should have its rewards here , hopefully within the next 18 months when they learn how to use a calculator and some degree of faith has been restored. It will jump pretty quickly imo once sentiment changes. GLA.
A sub £1 type average here would've been nigh on impossible over the 30+ years this has been listed as it's only gone below £1 3 times i think. In 2009; 2020 & now. The cyclical SP is very telling here. When things improve the rerates here are very fast!
Very true Paddyboy, good to read you're posts again.
Pokerchips and wealthtransfer have been keeping me relatively sane on particularly bad days.
Fingers crossed for a mini bounce tomorrow if the cpi comes in lower than expected.
JG, need to relax mate. I think you're less underwater than me or similar. I think in the end we're both probably in on this overall for decent averages & with the right mindset will ultimately make money on this. It is frustrating i know but i'm given up stressing about this type of stuff. If you've invested too much & need the cash then fair enough otherwise best to sit tight & wait as things will turn here eventually. You're reading too many of these posts about people slicing for a few pence here & there. Buying in the 50s & selling just in time @91p etc. You know it's all BS really. all retrospective so it is BS. Ask why would someone have sold at 90,91,92 when it looked to have turned? They wouldn't have. How many of the 614m shares in issue do you reckon have been bought for less than £1? very few i'd guess. There's many investors out there sitting on much bigger losses than you or i but none of them are selling!
