Member Info for Carrington

Yup, results due tomorrow morning - the market has been savaging most results from just about any company of late (BP being an exception today) so it may well fall further regardless of how good the results are just because of the Iran situation and negative sentiment going forward - I will be adding more if it falls tomorrow - the company is sound based on fundamentals and once the war is resolved it will bounce back hard imv - gl all for tomorrow - dyor etc.

I added a few more here this morning at 167p - I see EZJ as being in the same situation as SSP and I also added to my EZJ holding a few weeks back - not concerned re the drops, its all airline related - US T Bonds still falling which is increasing the interest payments on the US debt, so Mr T needs a deal just as much as Iran do imho - will all be resolved soon imv and when it is both these shares will bounce back hard - until then I will wait and console myself with my defensive positions in BP, BT, Centrica and Aviva which are all doing well today - gla dyor etc.

Fordm "Carrington, I appreciate things were different back in the 70's, however, this is now. Times change and for the record, women in Iran have not been required to wear a head scarf since 2018/2020. You get why you are focusing on Iran as a 'oppressive' government, I never saw that when I was there in 2018."

With respect 2018 is also a long time ago - my Iranian friends would never go back to Iran, no need to you see as they no longer have any friends or relatives left, all were eliminated by the regime as they did not agree with its principles, alongside thousands more - agree re war its a messy business and the US are by no means saints in all of this -I am not pro USA as such, I lived there for over a year for work reasons and have visited numerous times in the last 40 years - I would never live there permanently as I don't agree with their gun culture, - I have stated this many times to high ranking people and some don't agree, while some do, but the upshot in all of this is I am still alive as are my family while my Iranians friends and family are not -

Decided to add a few more at 79.5p - for me the current trading is more than in the share price and below 80p it is well overdone imo - gla dyor etc

Small beer in terms of a windfall tax - BP total earnings from the UKCS are only around 10pct of their total earnings - gl dyor etc.

Terrific set of results this morning, very pleased with that, hopefully an increase to the dividend to be announced - lets see - gla dyor etc.

Fordm - no problem for usa airbases to be attacked, legitimate targets and the US would have expected no less imv - bombing airports, ports, tankers, refineries, utilities and industrial and residential areas etc all over the Middle East tells me the regime in Iran is reckless imv - not questioning the Iranian history btw - I have a couple of friends who are Iranian, lived in Tehran in the 70's back in the days when woman were not repressed as they are now -

Fordm - "please explain why you think Iran should not have nukes, what you think, not what the media has told you to think." - Iran has already shown why they shouldn't have nukes by firing missiles at countries which are not involved in the war" - that is what I think - if you think it is a good idea for them to have nuclear weapons please explain why ? - gl dyor etc.

Mimilasa - "Carrington - my research suggests the following:

Iran is not simply saying “it’s open” right now. - I never said it was re read my post - gl dyor etc.

Not a massive fan of Trump tbh but atm the Iranians are saying they will open the SOH but not alter their nuclear weapon ambitions - that in itself justifies the US continuing their blockade until Iran are smoked out economically and/or Iran agree to no nuclear weapons - lets face it nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon especially the Middle East countries that surround Iran and have already been peppered with missiles from Iran for no good reason - gla dyor etc.

Decided to buy in here on the ex div this morning at 209.9p - the outlook looks good here, store expansion - trade pro deal etc - will add on further weakness - gla dyor etc.

Avocet - you have replied to yourself on the last 5 posts in a share you are not even invested in! - ffs man are you stark raving mad!

Jds/Forest - tough for retailers across the board atm - SBRY getting an absolute mauling this morning - haulage costs are bound to impact the bottom line going forward - I have not added to any retail stocks of late and will not until the Iran situation is settled - prefer to add to my defensive stocks right now, BP, BT etc - having said that it may well benefit OCDO as more and more people will imv see the benefit of home delivery to avoid topping up their car with petrol! - gla dyor etc.

Added a few more at 503p - gla dyor etc.

Added at 1138p - gla dyor etc.

Added a few more at 1150 - gla dyor etc.

Decided to add a few this morning at 510p ready for the trading update next week - gla dyor etc.

These orders are now taking the MTI revenue above its MCAP - clearly undervalued here - HAS to go higher this morning imho - lets see - gla dyor etc.

"Me too, showing a small profit. I'm missing why the rise? JJ" - JJ I didn't realise you were holding Ocado - last time I saw on here you were touting a £1.50 target price? - or did you see the light and change your mind😀 gl dyor etc.

Decided to add a few at 1187 - the spread was only 0.2p - that suggests to me there is plenty of buying at this price - lets see - gla dyor etc.
