Just my opinion,

I have many shares in my portfolio and RR is always the one that I am least worried about. I wish that I had the finances and the balls to buy in when prices fall as I think that RR is going to be a powerhouse of the future!!! There is never a straight line to the top and with RR's Beta being what it is there are always going to be sharp fluctuations. Good luck to all of those invested....keep your chin up ....I am sure that when the political rest is settled it will soon be chocs away :-)................................

I guess that I will never understand why people devote so much time to ramping a share up or equally the time spent deramping them to. Are those that do this so narcissistic that they believe that their opinion can really make a difference to a share price. This is always going to puzzle me. We have the opportunity to all help each other and to share information in an informative way that could make us all richer i . However for some reason these boards often look like chewing gum for the eyes!! To me that's a real shame.

Good luck to everyone that is invested here. I hope that you are all able to read around the noise in these boards so that you can make your owned informed decisions as to what is best for you :-)

Bunny I disagree with you that "If you are investing in Tullow you are betting that the conflict between Iran and the US will continue, pushing up the price of oil." I will be the first to admit that Tullow for the most part has been a share dog over the years it has been trading but I invested in Tullow a few months before the Iran conflict as there was positive news on the energy sector and Tullows refinancing.

The war will make Tullows share price bounce around on every announcement but it is my opinion that it will be a long time before oil gets near to the prices that it was before the conflict. That will of course help Tullow greatly.

On your last comment....."So yeah if Tullow does well you are making money of people dying. No point hand wringing about it" I strongly disagree!! I am investing in a company and not in a conflict. Investing in Tullow is not financing or fuelling the war.

That said it is my opinion if you are to moralistic in business and investing you will end up being very poor!

I am very often wrong with daily fluctuations......I like to think that it is because us mere peasants don't have all the insider knowledge that others have. However, on fundamentals alone year upon year Rolls Royce has exceeded market expectations. There are always those that think RR is overvalued but in the last few years time and time again they have been proved wrong. Now I don't think that you can expect RR share price to increase forever but I think that forever is a long way from where we are now. GLA

I expect a good healthy rise tomorrow .........just like the one that we should have had on results day. Now I may very well be wrong as the markets don't always do what I think they will do and there is lots to consider in the situation in Iran and wider afield. So don't shoot Melinda Messenger keep your fingers crossed, polish your rabbits foot, blow out some candles and make a wish and who knows you may just drive the share price to a level where we can all have a mini celebration :-)

Many moons ago I was very lucky to buy in at the sweet spot of just under 80p. I then bought more at around 300p, I held them right until the point where it was looking really likely that Donald Trump was going to Annex Greenland and then I sold the lot at 1245p. I realised that I had made a huge mistake and the shares bobbed around a bit.....and I thought that if they went sub 1200p I would buy back in. I think that they hit 1207 and then they started to rise.... Now yesterday I could not wait no more and I had to buy back in.....and yes I made my self a healthy profit but I think the results warranted more! However, I do think that this is a good result if you are investing long term. It is of course my personal opinon and I amcertainly not an expert but I think that we should have a nice steady rise over the next year.......Just like we did from 700p last year to where we are now :-

It may be the case that sending christmas cards by post may be in decline and this may continue. But even if that is the case it will more than likely be a slow gradual decline. Tradition is very strong and very close to peoples hearts. History tells us many things that we can learn from. The Roman empire did not collapse over night it collapsed slowly over many years. When charles Darwin wrote his book " origin of species" it was rubbished by religous leaders as it made people question the existance of God. Today despite science agrees with Darwin's theories and we still have many religions that oppose it. We humans love tradition......every year we celebrate bonfire night despite the calling for bans on fireworks, we celebrate christmas even though christianity is in decline.......We all love the comfort of tradition and christmas cards are part of that tradition.

I may be wrong but I have held shares in card factory many times. The dividends have always been favourable to me but sadly I have always felt that card factory has been undervalued by the market. I guess that it is just not seen as a sexy stock when compared to tech and AI stocks. It normally produces good solid results ( but rarely anything surprising ) I do think that the board can sometimes be slow to react to market conditions. Sadly it has been a favourite of shorters which has kept the value of the company down. But at todays price it seems ridiculously cheap to me......so hence I have had a flutter. Good luck to those that have been brave this morning.

The growth figures for the economy are not great. In my opinion its not going to be a great year for non food retail but........ I do think that a 26% drop is a massive over reaction. I hope that I am right as I have just bought in off the back of it.

I actually have made a bit more than 15% due to the tick up over the last few weeks and of course I have had the dividends. For me this is the right time to say goodbye to SSE. For some this may be the start of a new journey and I wish those all the luck with their journey.

I have held shares In SSE for a couple of years and only once have I seen a profit ( I missed it though hoping that there might be some upward momentum). Today SSE results were not great but the market appears to really like the investment that SSE are making. I sold mine at when they reached a 15% increase today as I am happy with a profit rather than a loss. I hope that I have made the right choice but very rarely do I play the perfect game. Good luck to everyone who is still invested and to the ones that sold today enjoy your profit . :-)

It tells me that since that purchase they have lost between £30,0000 to £40,0000. I think like others have said it is really just a gamble from here on in.....It just depends on how lucky you are! Good Luck all :-)

If POO starts rising sharply then it is time to get off the toilet! Tullow share price has been on a constant downward spiral from the day it was listed. But at these levels you might just make a quick sneeky profit if you buy right. GLA

You may be right and I hope that you are better man than me and that you are able to catch the bottom perfectly :-)

Tullow is a share dog and in the past i have lost a lot of money in tullow. Recently though I have done quite well buying in at these levels so I have just bought in again today hoping that I might be able to make a quick profit. Good luck all :-)

I love haribo tangy fantastics but I hate to see threads become bitter! Everyone has there own game but clever man will listen to all opinons in a gentlemanly fashion.......afterall none of us know everything and without the input of others how can we learn. For me empire metals has come along way since it hovered around the 6p mark. Now for those invested we are hoping for positive results from the MRE ( I hope that acronym is correct ) If they are positive then.........40p + is easily achieved. If the results are not positive then who knows how south we will all be....but who doesn't like a gamble :-)

It may be the case that Rolls Royce soars up in to the sky tomorrow..............but if it doesn't I would not panick and I would not worry. Nuclear energy is the future .....its the only clean energy that you can turn on with a flick of a switch! And Rolls Royce is currently one of the best companies in the world to capitalise on it. If the market decides that it doesn't like the figures or it has already costed the deals into the share price....... Then I would like to hope that we are all investors here and the long game.....well....it looks pretty :-)

Card is a great company that delivers solid results and a healthy dividend. But in my opinion the shorters are killing this share and also the fact that selling greeting cards on the high street is just not sexy enough to attract investors. A gloomy fair valuation on card in my opinion is £1.20 but it doesn't matter what I think. It is what the market decides. This is a great price to buy in at and if you are are lucky within a year I believe that a 20 to 30% profit is achieveable if you sell at the right time. GLA

Hi All,

Rolls Royce has been a hell of a journey! Many have made life changing money here. Every time I re-analyse my position here I only ever see positivity but I am also quite well aware that nothing lasts forever. So far rolls royce has exceeded all expectations.............will it do so on the 31st? I would love to hear your thoughts........

There is never a straight line to the top on any good investment. There will be highs and lows but if you have done your research you should be rewarded in the Long term. In my experience small caps like EEE do bounce around until they find their happy level. A good announcement on the MRI will send this share easily to 40p and maybe beyond .A bad one and we are back to 10 to 15p in my opininon. Whatever the outcome you will all hopefully all gain experience from it or if you are lucky enough maybe a new car :-) GLA
