How is your wishbone gold tip getting on? 😂🤣

There is all sorts going on here and very fishy, wouldn’t surprise me if money laundering, mafia and organised crime isn’t involved but like I said yesterday, anything other than administration or delisting is good for now, yesterdays RNS shows the company is still trading and not in the process of administration or delisting, could be a 10-50 bagger for people willling to have a gamble.

When everything is going good but the price is down don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and ask why, the only question you need to ask is ‘how many can I afford’.

This was a 10 bagger or bust at 0.005. At 0.0015 it’s a 25 bagger or bust. TW is a fraud too.

Still waiting for my 0.035p buy to go through, surely not long now.

You’d think at this point any RNS other than delisting or liquidation has to be seen as somewhat positive.

£30m… I’m not sure if before or after tax deductible but no doubt there will be a small amount of general staff cost reduction and some price increases to cover part of it, that £30m might quickly be £25m or less.

Given the investments/acquisitions made this year, it should be a good year ahead. £1bn+ in a poor economy, paving the way for £1.2-1.5bn the following year when things settle down.

It’s been estimated at £30,000,000 (NIC and National Living Wage combined).

There’s pros and cons all over and nobody really knows which way things are going short term. On one hand consumer spending might be hit by employment data and inflation, on the other hand wage increases suggest people have more disposable income than ever. Who knows what Trump will do, or even our own government - to tackle growth. Markets are at an all time high, JD is almost at 5 year lows (including the Covid crash). However so is B&M, and the Greggs chart is also very similar, I’m sure there are many others that for whatever reason have followed this same pattern of big drops in 2020, 2022 and now, following all time highs in 2021 and 2023/4. But things can change very quickly. This was £1.60 on track for record profits 4 months ago. Whilst things have cooled off a bit they haven’t cooled off that much, and you’d argue that any economic uncertainty, unless there is a major recession, are more than priced in on a few of these stocks, including JD. So I’m buying up what I can, and selling the all time high stuff to get in on the cheap stuff.

They needed a new director to sign off the next placing so the FCA doesn’t get too suspicious that the same person keeps signing off millions of ££ worth of capital raises with nothing to show for it other than a few holidays to India.

“ China, which has long called tariffs counterproductive, offered relatively muted criticism of the tariffs and signaled an openness to talks.

The country's government appeared poised to seek a deal with Trump that could delay or stop tariffs, according to a person familiar with the matter.”

Trump is a billionaire businessman and a genius. He is also doing exactly what he promised voters he would do. The politicians he is dealing with don’t stand a chance against him and the tariffs have been paused because Canada and Mexico have done what they were told to. China will get spanked and rightly so.

Let’s hope the tills aren’t quiet or you might open shorts again.

Awful close but Mexico tariff is already on pause and I suspect others will fall into line pretty quickly, even if it’s reluctantly. In all fairness, I haven’t seen a demand from trump that is unreasonable.

Looks like placing shares are being forward sold again

Investing profit into growth isn’t a bad thing, particularly when that growth includes diversification into new markets, which is precisely what they’ve done this year.

“We have today reported record interim results with Group revenue of £5.0bn, and Profit before tax and adjusting items of £405.6m”.

Just a shame this year is a bit thin on sports events.

£1.23 is nothing more than what it should be already. FTSE all time high, JD almost hitting record profits despite the downgrade and it’s at an almost 5 year low. In fact it’s lower than at the peak of the Covid crash. Surely a very good year and £1bn mark hit (possibly not this year but next year is a shout) and you’re talking £2+ a share with the right market sentiment.

£1.60 a share when they forecast £1bn profit, 84p with that figure reduced by 10%. Anything under £1.20 is a steal IMO, fill your boots.
