Although you may not fancy a punt on Wetherspoons shares and perhaps just pop in for the odd pint or two, there are other good reasons to support the company as outlined in City AM.

I went into our local Wetherspoons last week to sort an issue with a voucher bought as a Xmas gift for someone. It was very quickly sorted by a manager who emerged from the kitchen. Meanwhile during the two minute wait I was amazed how many people were in there eating and drinking. The place was heaving with just half a dozen tables unoccupied but people arriving and joining the wait at the bar. A dozen or more hardies in the smoking shelter out doors too. I bought more JDW this week and will do so next week.

Darran's interview may have helped the buys this morning. I put it on social media too. Onwards and upwards to June and beyond.

The Abu Dhabi connection is beginning to make sense.

25+ Grand. Not me !

Next spike up on Friday.

Peel Hunt? Save us please from experts . Is someone being paid for this superb piece of analysis?

Still has the J for Jennifer though. LOL.

Spot On. I bought a few more on Monday with an immediate gain despite today's lethargy. in the FTSE. Reinstatement of the divi could be in the cards sooner than we think.

Two of my grandchildren 17 & 18, who are at college and have part time jobs tell me how their local Wetherspoons, Poulton le Fylde and Cleveleys respectively are meeting up points for their crew of similarly minded pals. It is cheap and cheerful whereby the 17 year olds leave at 9pm and the older ones can stay longer if they wish. This is perhaps replicated in many other Spoons across the country adding to the impression that most Spoons are rammed from breakfast time right through to kicking out time.

Meanwhile holiday park operator Haven has announced an exclusive agreement with JD Wetherspoon to open pubs at its locations where a captive audience will add many £s to Wetherspoon’s balance sheet. A clever move from the operators and from Wetherspoons and one that will be replicated elsewhere.

The company and the public at large are due to benefit from Hunt’s giveaway budget in March that will include tax cuts for workers and tax cuts for companies, all designed to get the economy moving, putting money into pockets and winning the Tories the election. So desperate are they that a second giveaway budget will probably appear in the autumn.

Summer and eating out at the local pub is not far away. A clear BUY.

Hunt has implied that the March budget will include tax cuts for workers and tax cuts for companies, all designed to get the economy moving, putting money into pockets and winning the Tories the election. So desperate are they that a second giveaway budget will probably appear in the autumn. I think a revival of the Government Help To Buy is on the cards, plus cuts in income tax and/or personal allowances. Such changes will for sure help retailers, the holiday industry and building related shares. I am in all three, including BDEV, in anticipation of the coming months. GLA.

Great News. We bought future gold for peanuts. Hold tight everyone this going to be good.

Thanks CV. Baker Steel it is.

BSRL?

This has aways been a share subject to day trading resulting in dips and spikes. The last two weeks or so appears to be the same but the underlying trajectory is upwards hence we are back into 3p+ to buy. Two weeks or less to the update and there's no way I will be selling until it hits 5/6p and only then to slice a little profit and keep the bulk of my MTL.

Tygra and all

On 29the December the spread per bid/offer at midday was 2.50p/2.70p therefore the 1,900,000 delayed trade showing up today at 2.60 was bang in the middle. If I was buying 2 million shares I would expect a good price?

A slew of buys and 11.5% rise today might be early indications of good news very soon.

"Heightened tensions in the Red Sea - where US military intervention over the weekend prevented a Houthi attack on a container ship - and Iran sending a destroyer to the region provoked an initial 2% rise in the oil price and flight-to-safety flows into gold” -gold still at $2061.

Keep the faith everyone. GLA.

I too wish all MTL holders a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Let’s not forget a Happy Christmas to the Philippine workforce and to the MTL board whose hard work in 2023 will finally pay dividends (pun intended) in 2024.

As to the regular but intermittent trolls who infest this message board - LTHs know how to spot you whereby you will be ignored, so don’t waste your time.

As we thought, Babu still moving up.

I just bought in here because of future prospects. I have a much bigger stake in MTL, another gold miner.
