Bargains are coming....but wait for next month.

Dibs, good luck with your investment, Buddy. I only ever buy falling knives. It can be a dangerous game in the short term, but as others have said, if you can tune-out the short-term noise, you've backed a winning horse.

If Zimbabwe do that, they'll find themselves "regime-changed" in two seconds flat. Let's not forget that Ghadaffi proposed something similar with the Gold Dinar & look what happened to him. And don't forget what we did to Saddam, just because he stopped selling Iraqi oil for Dollars.

Patience, Grasshopper....

As a holder here since the float in 2013, I cashed-out in August at £1.46 & am now waiting to buy back in. Yes, I could buy now at a 9-10% discount, but I remain convinced that the market is about to **** the bed. Look what happened in March. I rather fancy picking up a bucketful of these around the £1 mark for a nice fat 7% dividend. Some TRIG, too.

NB: still holding GRP.

The UST are pulling a number of their stimulus programmes. Mr Powell isn't too pleased, apparently, but Mnuchin is calling the shots.

CSDI, I see that you already hold BERI: have you considered BRWM? There is some overlap in holdings between the two, so you may want to look at that before taking the plunge, but I like it a lot.

There are a number of high-yielding ITs in the renewable energy sector (UKW, TRIG, FSFL, GRP, etc), some with inflation-linked dividends. Given that inflation seems to be on our horizon, & we must all "build back better", I would suggest the future is bright for the renewables sector (although please note that some of these ITs are currently trading at a 20% premium to NAV).

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I agree, I might have to wait until Biden takes office, but with all of the good news (globally) already factored in, I see significant downside on the horizon. There will be stimulus in spades, I'm banking on it, but first they need a crisis to justify it.

PRS.

I already have skin in the game here, but am biding (no pun intended) my time before going all in.

Patience, Grasshopper...

One of the hardest things to do when you have cash on the sidelines is to wait for the right moment. There is no blood on the streets yet. The market will **** the bed. Bide your time.

...given that our CEO just sold over a quarter of his share holding.

...that at least one of the directors is prepared to put his money where his mouth is.

Have we now turned the corner???

The lockdowns are unconstitutional: agreed. But so is the Fed. And income tax. Etc...etc...

Biden has promised to lockdown the country "if the scientific advisors recommend it"...which, of course, they will (& many have already done so).

Lockdowns aren't necessary. Already in the UK we have seen how the infection rates peaked PRIOR to lockdown, both in March & within the last few weeks. This was even covered on Sky News earlier today.

Lockdown is in the plan. Biden telegraphed is acceptance of this by his references to (Project) "Dark Winter" & his adoption of WEF slogans like "build back better".

I am in ZERO doubt: none, zip, zilch, zero, nada...that there will be a US national lockdown. It's in the plan! There are many here who don't accept that (I get it), but when it happens, the doubters need to start asking some fundamental questions about government response to this Plandemic.

If I'm wrong: great! It means the world is in a better place. I'll willingly hold my hands up & feel free to rib me as much as you like....but I'm telling you, lockdown is coming. Invest accordingly.

BBBear, at a complete guess, Bitcoin is having a run at its all-time high: there are probably people wanting to get on board that train. I strongly suggest that TPTB will pump crypto in the near term as they push for wider acceptance of CBDCs.

I too am puzzled by the AU / USD double-whammy.

Meanwhile, I see we're back to a 14-handle. As someone who bought in at 12p, this is now tempting me to add, but I'll sit on my hands for a while longer. I want to see the reaction once the US goes back into lockdown. ATM, it seems to be happening on a state by state basis, but Biden has promised a MINIMUM 4-week lockdown.

You get what you vote for. Or not, as the case may be :)). Depends if you want to get into that bag of worms.

We have FOUR (count 'em) investment managers all registering significant holdings today???

Marcus, I like your strategy & am adopting a similar position.

I am a long-term holder in 888 (I saw your comment) & was lucky enough to load-up at sub 40p back in 2008 (I think it was).

Just sold a load at £2.66 (not quite the top) & bought back for £2.52. I'm not a trader, but was selling outside of an ISA to buy back within an ISA: it's always nice to make a few quid in the process. Waiting now for another opportunity to repeat the transaction.

Just a shame I'm 40% under water here...

All very predictable. Vaccine news is the new "trade deal is close" mantra. This is a card they're going to play again and again and again.

Regarding the (Moderna) vaccine.....MODERNA seems to have produced an effective experimental vaccine. 30,000 people would normally be expected to incur about 900 infections over an eight month period, using USA data to date. With a one month exposure, that would be just over 100 infections. They got 90 infections. I do not see 95% effectiveness. I see less than 10%. Maybe they believe in fairy tales at MODERNA.

If anyone doesn't yet know how an mRNA "vaccine" works, I suggest you find out. Moderna's (& Pfizer's) mRNA vaccine will modify your DNA.

No thanks.

...on what comes next.

JMAX, good to know you're on top of things. I couldn't help but notice that BERI is up from the point at which I sold, and FRES is down a little from where I bought back in.

"No-one ever rings a bell at the top", & I'm sure we all have at least some experience of catching falling knives. It's galling, of course, but I remain focused on the longer term, the fundamentals & continue to back my instincts (which have always served me well).

Even though we may all be living life in lockdown, events can still prove entertaining. I remain convinced that, after some imminent turbulence (shall we say), they will prove to be very, VERY profitable.

UKInvestor, I saw that. My point is that if you are the CEO, you can delay (or pull forward) any key announcements that might juice the SP prior to any such divestiture plans you may have. You only need to manipulate one of those two events if you wish them to coincide.

The Pfizer CEO has just unloaded 62% of his share holding...not the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a CEO who has great faith in his newly-patented product that every government on the planet is going to clamouring to pay big bucks for (although their citizens may not be so keen).

I smell a pump & dump. Moderna (& several others) did exactly the same earlier in the year: announced terrific (un-validated & unsubstantiated) results, the shares soared, the BoD cashed-out & within days, the claims were proven to be false. Regulators did SFA (no surprise there).

This is all a game the Elite are playing with people's lives. We have been promised a "Dark Winter". We will get it. Watch!
