Just like Grayling, I bought in at around 33 pounds, and have always held, apart from the odd dips, when they were around 80pounds, when I bought and sold. It seems to me that some of these posts are pure green eye…..
You missed a great investment, and cannot afford to buy in now!
Anti Vax, remoaners, etc……
Who cares really? When the Share Price hits the 100 pound mark, it may be time to top up, as many of us will have done over the years with this excellent company. The Anti Vax brigade are yesterdays people……..
I know that it doesn’t have much to do with what is going on now, but many of us will remember Pfizer putting in an offer for AZN at around 55 pounds per share, just a few years ago, which of course, they refused. Enough said!
Better sell then…..
Some people may consider the share to be high enough, and sell perhaps a portion of their holding, and wait for the fall, which anyone who has held these shares for years knows, is likely to happen. Knowing when to buy back is pot luck. Azn provides these opportunities every so often, and a clever knowledge of the Markets doesn’t really help. It is a calculated gamble like a bet on a good horse, and a good horse has its off days.
I have held this share for ages, and these fluctuations are a great opportunity to build up on one’s Share holding. I imagine that AZN will be back to well over the 100’s again this week, thereby allowing the punters a nice little bonus.
Over the past year, we have seen a similar drop, and the share has in some ways been volatile, for a myriad of reasons. I’ve hung on, and made a few smallish profits over the period, and bought more today, with the usual result that the share promptly goes down. Should we worry too much? Probably not, because Azn is an excellent company, and the shares will rebound at some point.
It is clear that Azn placed a cut off for their “no profit” offer for their vaccine, based on there view that the pandemic would be over by the summer. Obviously it isn’t, so “in good faith”, perhaps they ought continue with their generosity a while longer, though that wouldn’t affect the present dip!
When Azn started the roll out of their excellent vaccine on a virtually no profit basis, they were both praised and slammed. I don’t recall them ever saying that their vaccine would remain free, beyond the first roll out, or for the third world or any one else for that matter. At a certain point, they were to charge a nominal price, which seems quite fair. There are plenty of reasons for the drop, and these swings, which happen regularly, are good way to make money for shareholders, if they get it right.
are we expecting a 1 for 20 share dilution?
All this talk of the huge problems we may have dealing with countries, regimes, etc, shows us all where we ought to be going, and any group of people who are unable to see the sense of self sufficiency in a dodgy world, are blind or more seriously, not acting for the good of their country. Maybe they should consider moving to another place, where they would be firstly treated as heroes, and then put to work!
No coming home though.......Good!
Perhaps we all ought to be taking note of the regular fluctuations in the share price, which has become tediously regular, and follow Borgy74. It has occurred to me over the last months that there could be a regular few thousand to be made, but I hung on for the dividend instead, which is safe and boring. What is his level to buy back in, having sold at over £60? I would hazard a guess at around £56, which would allow for a £4 gain when it goes back over £60 again. That gain would give me £2500 odd, and be a reasonable risk. ZZZZZ if you want, but that really is a mugs game!
If it becomes clear to the general populous that we are buying in shale, then it will filter down to the majority of people in the uk, who have good common sense, that we should be making the most of our own considerable supply.
It would be hard to imagine that the uk won't be up and running very soon on the shale front, even if Igas doesn't perform. It is the self sufficiency of the uk which counts the most.
There seems to be little appetite for fracking, and unless there is a very severe winter, (which it seems there will be), I cannot see that there is anything to concentrate the mind. The idea of polluting our landscape, and possibly our wellbeing too, is quite natural, and I cannot blame young people like rizalino for their concern, as it is their generation which may have to clean up the mess, if it exists. He believes in a rather different world than I have come to accept in my lifetime, and it many respects would seem to be a young man with considerable conscience for what we do to ourselves, and whether we like it or not, is prepared to stick to his guns.
I invest in fracking because I would like the UK to be self sufficient and not reliant on rogue nations for our energy supplies, and that seems to me to be rather sensible, but I have been around a long time and am slightly jaundiced and don't believe in a perfect world where we all help one another. It isn't going to be like that, so we ought to get on with our preparations as an island race, or we will come to grief.
Rizalino was in fort william, or some such place. I clocked that one too, but couldn't find out if schumacher college was there or not, though they are associated with the findhorn community, which is another dotty group. There is little doubt that he and loizou are the same person. It doesn't really matter, but it is always nice to have a face to a name, and to be fair, he looks a perfectly decent chap, if a little misguided. I am sure that he does actually do a lot of good for a good number of people, so if he gives us a break, then we should do the same for him, now we know who he is.
Apart from the name "richard loizou", to which his post name, "rizalino"has quite strong similarities, and that the surname "loizou" is of Greek or Cypriot origins (and Rich Loizou would certainly fit the bill there) , the chosen name "rizalino" is interesting too, as it has a meaning which would fit many of the interests and passions that rich loizou enjoys. That his posts disappeared when he went down, only to appear when he was released may be a coincidence, but it all adds up. Rizalino may not like it, but he appears to have been "outed".
A conditional discharge doesn't carry a conviction, so no criminal record, providing that the person in question doesn't re offend. We will see.....
The three were released on "conditional discharge", which I suppose means that providing they don't commit any criminal activity during the next two years, they will be ok. It may be difficult for them to keep out of trouble though, and they are bound to cause some trouble which will bring them before the courts again, when they could be returned to prison to serve out their sentence.
