Wednesday we will know if there will be a further tax on share dealings but my thoughts are it's highly unlikely as the idea of equivalence with the EU seems a dead duck, so moves to free up the financial markets seem more likely to me.
Puts a bit of blue water between UK & EU, which the BOE have been seemingly implying.

Well I'd start with The Osmonds as what not to like.
And the apres ski is definitely better in Colorado, not that Mercia's performance is providing much chance of a trip to Vail or Aspen at present, either for shareholders or EIS holders.
Boards is still OK though because he loves his west country cider.

Designed in Brum & now HQ'd in Salt Lake City ?
Better take the good book with you if you go there, personally I'll pass !

Re Aldi I totally agree, many people avoid, we do too.

Boards
Let us hope they perform better than Klopp this season then.....
That of course was for the benefit of our Harry Lime poster

Interesting figures, sadly I'm long & wrong but not throwing in the towel just yet !

An interesting point, Amati aim vct which are 57% in software & bioscience had an offer of £7mill which officially opened at 09.00 today and was oversubscribed by 10.20.
I mention this as all that will be directed at the aim market & it shows what underlying demand looks to be like.
They said themselves in a webinar recently that the companies on aim are attracting US interest as they are priced at about a half of what they would be on nasdaq.
Mine's a Morangie unless there is a 15 year Macallan going....

I did mine this morning, about 09.20 online so I keep my fingers crossed !
Certainly never thought it would go this fast ! A very short time span to raise £7m...

@fp
I can not believe this stock is down here (ditto ULVR), but am adding to both today

Good point...

Art & Bern (if I may?)
It has been a pleasure reading your pithy comments, still love the "chicken pellets", not to mention the Tesla jokes.
If I were in your position, owning in high 30's I guess I'd have done the same !
Enjoy your toast (but easy on the Tinder)

If you google" bright talk amati "you will see a link to Dr Jourdan of Amati giving a review of his portfolio in the vct.
It starts at 11.00 on Feb 18 for an hour

You also have to assess if AIM shares/Amati especially have already had a very good run, for instance in Sep 2018 I topped up in their offer & paid 182.98p, then an all time high, fortunately 5 months later Feb 2019 I averaged and bought some more in their offer at 143.2p then again in Nov 19 at 149.75.
Is buying them in the new offer going to be ringing the bell at the top again ?
Hard to know, probably not as they are heavy in health care & tech but with AIM it is hard to predict....

@adv11
Agree with you re the spread, scandalous !
However the comparable divi in Feb 2020 was only 6.75p in the old form, I believe, whereas this is 12p in the old form so a very pleasant hike.
This came out 2 days early, isn't it odd how good numbers can be added up faster than bad ones ?

@smose
I think you will find HH vct offer is now closed ?
As to Unicorn yes their NAV performance has been good but look at the discount to NAV it often trades on, recently 18% which is a result of them not having a discount control mechanism. So when you sell you give up a lot of your tax benefit.
@Pyueck
Amati target a 5% divi and tend to top slice their best performers to pay it, so it is a safe bet that providing the NAV stays at or above this level 2021 divis will be rather higher than last year.

@trent
Spot on.
Sometimes one needs to take it on the chin.

@peaksandtroughs
I detect from your "Mr Angry" persona that you are currently experiencing more troughs than peaks ?
Get over it & remember DYOR

Jimmy
Very well said, and just to prove that some posters are apparently too idle to DYOR, if "muppets" isn't bad enough peaks & troughs blames the fact that he sold out on Friday because he listened to "complete morons".
Sometimes you have to pinch yourselt to ensure you're not dreaming....

Scharnhorst/Boards
4BB, 4base bio are on pi tv if it is of any interest ?

YoYoMa
I confess to being seriously impressed with your humour !
I totally agree re Zombies on this board but until I googled Brian Cox I thought it was "life of Brian".
Probably why I still have a modest interest in Marstons hey ho.....
