RE: European Leaders to join Zelensky in Washington17 Aug 2025 22:16
Hi Garonne - I haven't been posting much of late, but we do seem to share a few similar investments; Prudential has been great recently - up over 50% this year, and up over 30% here in a matter of weeks (albeit from a low starting point). Just need EZJ to join the party, and this could turn into a really good year - very frustrating that one.
Anyway, apologies for straying off-piste on the Wizz board, but this is now my biggest holding, and I am quietly confident (obvs. - or I wouldn't have bought). Patience may be required, but the history here indicates that when it does move up, it can do so incredibly quickly, like £8 or £9 in a matter of weeks. Not suggesting that will happen here in the immediate future, but would hate to miss out if (when) it happens. Anyway, for once I managed to buy close to the bottom (average about £12.80), and am happy to hold, as I see way more upside potential than downside. Unfortunately, I don't share your optimism when it comes to a resolution in Ukraine - Putin has no interest in peace - he has repeatedly shown that, and human life, be it Ukrainian, Russian, or any other, means nothing to him. Even before the Ukrainian invasion he was a mass murderer; anybody questioning him would disappear into a Siberian gulag, or "fall" off a hotel balcony somewhere. Watching this psychotic, murderous gangster and cowardly midget, get the red carpet treatment, and stand in front of signage saying "Pursuing Peace", when it was him who started the war, is truly nauseating.
That's my little rant over for now, so good luck to you, and all genuine holders here - be interesting to see what the coming week brings.
