I heard a podcast about shares that likened them to a video clip going viral on social media. It starts with a few people being familiar with it and sharing it. It then increases exponentially until reaching a peak. Following this it slowly fades away.

After hearing this information I changed my investment (gambling) strategy. Instead of arriving after the herd and losing money I switched to putting my money into ftse 350 companies. I’m not here to promote an individual company but instead to let you know that since changing tack I’ve been more successful. My 25% loss since August 2022 is now only a 2% loss and I’m hoping it will soon turn positive.

Good luck with your investments.

Read the online documents. I interpreted it as they raised 3mn and from this paid directors fees of 1mn. Looks like a cash cow.

I think your money is safe here. The assets roughly equate to the debt. The company has history and a good name.

Why did I sell today?

I’ve made a profit from Mars of 150% during the pandemic. Thanks. Today is different. Local pubs are closing. We are heading for tough times. When it costs £9.99 for 20 Budweiser in Lidl not many people will pay £5 a pint in a pub.

Good luck to holders, I genuinely wish you well. However, I’m confident that selling today was a good idea.

I can only see this going one way unfortunately. Despite it being a good company offering good products there are tough times ahead. On the beach announced that long haul flights and premium holidays are doing well. 3* holidays are struggling. I imagine that procook are selling to the latter.

Debt is reducing, sales are up. The sp has declined significantly this year in anticipation of consumers having a reduction in their disposable income. I think this RNS has comments about people not going for the big ticket item (car, holiday I assume) but instead treating themselves with an enjoyable drink at the local pub.

I’m pleased I bought recently and have confidence with the team managing Marstons.

Took me about half an hour to read and digest the exploration report. I saw several positive comments. These include the additional gold reserves and considerable amount of sulphides. I don’t think the herd have realised the potential here yet.

Could be substantial https://over-haul.com/about/

The company said it was valued at $2.2 billion prior to the funding deal, and announced it was generating more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/inno/stories/fundings/2022/02/15/overhaul-growth-after-35-million-series-b.html

This is hopefully an initial order that could lead to further product awareness globally.

Copper has about a 4 day supply. I’m invested in GLEN but also in ATYM a copper miner.

Copper is shooting up since the inflation figures in the US were released and China has relaxed on quarantine rules. I think that Black Rock’s 4% stake is a massive boost in confidence for ATYM . I think that Enrique could have bought his daughter a bigger house if he had a little more patience.

Anto seems to mirror the copper price live, however ATYM offers the opportunity to buy at a reduced price after copper has risen. Atym might increase Mon before 8am but it if you were quick on Friday you could exploit the delayed response.

Hi Rookie, far be it from me to give advice…..

The stock market doesn’t often go with logic. We recently had 2bn profits yet the sp declined. When lockdown started shares shot up. Please do whatever you want to do and don’t act upon my advice. However, I have benefited from being au contraire. I bought on 20th March 2020 and quickly made 150%. I have recently benefited from a rise in commodity prices and CINE doubling in value. My next tip is ATYM to increase in the near future but please do your own research. I personally would not have too much invested in this share.

This feels a little bit like cheating. Almost like watching a horse race then betting on the winner. We all own that copper has now increased about 8% in one day but the sp hasn’t yet responded. Is it similar when the price of copper falls? Do you get an opportunity to jump out before the sp declines?

With China reducing lockdown restrictions commodities have increased, especially copper. Anto has risen immediately and seems linked to the price of copper. With Atym there doesn’t seem to be the immediate increase. This has allowed me to buy more before the inevitable increase in sp.

Fleecy reminds of the paid rampers on penny Aim shares. He only provides positive comments about this share. Fair enough - fleecy is invested here, wants an increase in the sp and is trying to promote it to new investors.

This seemed like a good investment when Drahi was accumulating a stake. However, it now seems doomed to decline in price long term. The income isn’t matching the bills to pay.

I’m not going to promote other shares on here that I believe are a better buy, however I would encourage investors who are new to trading to take fleecy’s comments with a pinch of salt or maybe a bit of mint sauce.

I bought on 7 Sep and took a big gamble that I could lose everything. However, as chapter 11 are 70% successful and more so for larger companies I considered it a risk worth taking. I’m not about to sell at these low prices. Yesterday’s news was the first sign of hope of a recovery. More funds are being made available. In my opinion this will rise and fall like something that rises and falls a lot. However, Q1 2023 I’m hopeful of 40p.

Thanks for the advice, sounds really sensible. I’m currently over the moon with my purchase of Cine at rock bottom prices which looks like it’s heading in the right direction.

Good luck with your investments.

This is difficult.

I have made plenty of poor decisions buying and selling shares, selling and it then rises or vice versa. Last year I made a profit of approx 150% from which I have gained confidence from. I thought I had a magic touch. No I don’t. I put about 50% of my money into Barclays in July. My reasoning was tough Financial Times ahead. Barclays has a reasonable amount invested in US credit. Seems like a no brainer. When the results were released last week with 2bn profit Inwas ready for an uplift of 8% or more. This didn’t happen. Furthermore, NWG produce a poor report and due to computer algorithms Barclays decrease.

I can either stick with my original research or accept that it isn’t to be. Instead I’ve bought into yellow cake (uranium) and Atym (copper). After only 24 hrs I’m on starting to recoup some losses.

My advice - don’t expect the sp to follow a logical path ( ie increased demand for credit and banks suddenly make decent profit for the first time in 20 years) instead invest in the next big thing - alternative sources of energy.

It could be mentioned in the 17th Nov budget update or any other day or not at all. I would have preferred it to have been said on Oct 31st then move on. However, markets don’t like uncertainty and I can see this continuing to fall in the near future. I’ve sold 2/3 of my holding and I’m not planning on buying it back. The dividend is no better than what can be achieved in a savings account. Good news recently didn’t lift the sp. I think it’s heading to 80 p like it did following the covid news.

Still hold 1/3 of my investment just in case I’m wrong, as I often am.

Companies entering chapter 11 bankruptcy protection have a 70% success rate. It is greater than this for large organisations.

‘More likely to go to zero’ suggests the above comment is factually incorrect.

If you are shorting this stock at, for example 2p and you read an RNS at 7am with a positive tone, this could quickly climb to 10p or more. That could be a lot of money for a shorter to suddenly find and helps to explain the nervousness in comments on this board.
