Yes sharefall, Thanksgiving footfall expected to be high this US long weekend with Disney's release and House of Gucci.

Sammy18, agree generally but one needs access to a certain minimum level of dosh to satisfy basic needs of food, shelter, comfort and security to be happy. Saw programme on Bangladesh's city, Kolkata I think, with its 15m living on top of each other in semi- poverty, they weren't the happiest bunnies !!

Ashjs, we won't have to wait 'a few years'. This undervalued business will shoot up when Covid numbers are perceived to have peaked and less threat of lockdowns....or more positive revenue numbers from all the great film releases coming. But as always DYOR and IMO only !!

Hello bc2020, just curious as you're not shy about your wealth, how much in total do you currently have invested in shares ?

Smithy, I find your posts fascinating,
the more I read your posts the more evident it is to me that you lack empathy for physically weak generally older people. Your parents / grandparents / older relatives are estranged from you ? Your focus is too much on money and economics. People and relationships are much more important, believe me. Money does not bring happiness but only extra choice, and if one is not happy then one will probably make the wrong choice or even not care anyway. As I've already written, you need to read up on Long Covid amongst younger persons and other fatal cases of the otherwise healthy as it may heal your obvious personal deep wounds.

Smithy, Are you blaming pensioners for the economic damage resulting for your politicians' reaction to the Covid-2 pandemic ? And your reference to bed wetting isn't appropriate, not all elderly people bedwet. What ages are your own parents / grandparents and do you blame them ? Btw, I am not a pensioner, and blame Government reaction to the pandemic as the cause of serious economic damage. I would have forced all over 18 to receive the vaccine to begin with, unless medical reason not to, rather than hoping that people would be intelligent !! There are a lot of young people 18 to 25 who have serious Long Covid also, you should read some of their cases online as it may change your mind to 'endemic unrestricted spread' idea.

Smithy52019, interesting post but what do IFR and QALY stand for, googled it and not even google know so my appreciation of your expert knowledge curtailed !! Important to show what these abbreviations are before using them unless your audience definitely knows !!

Pokerchips, Investment CAPEX hits the P&L as it is depreciated over many years so unless the likes of Ocado are treating CAPEX spend as Expenses then they are truly making losses and HMRC wouldn't be impressed with misallocating spend !!

Licancubar, The div reduction doesn't start until 2024 though ? A lot will happen before then.....

Yes finderskeepers, but humans programme the computers so it is always humans directly or indirectly doing the buying and selling !! We cannot justifiably blame computers, they do what is programmed, even AI is created by humans, so why are the algos selling cmc, also surely it's too low a market value for them to bother about ? I'm holding anyway but annoyed nonetheless at the drop.

Zachs rate GSK Strong Buy and Goldman Sachs 11/11/21 sp target £20, lest you LTHolders forget !!

Read your posts today, but with all the positives, and I've £12.5k with avg 277p and not selling, who the hell is selling ? I honestly can see no justification for selling at these or any levels well above 350p. Volatility is also high and increasing, the perceived lack of which is meant to be the reason the sp fell back in the first place. The recent lower div announcement was expected I believe. Bewildered LTH !!

Thanks schjmh re nuri123a, perhaps a good patient psychologist would help him, tbh this last 20 months has challenged most of us !!

Ironic that CMC is down due to subdued volatility whilst CMC itself is very volatile !! Got some more circa 251p today , can see this as a highly profitable investment by close of 2022 but all in my opinion and DYOR !!

nuri123a, how do you arrive at an sp of £1 please because I'm sure Lord whatshisname would be interested as I am with my small holding ?

Strange that it dropped over 5% today in view of recent results and some broker optimism ?

fleccy, wouldn't the purchase of shares on Drahi's behalf be deemed his own purchase at 'arms length' ? I'd imagine that loophole has been closed by now ?

Realistically, regulatory hurdles to take over BT are high

Barclays target issued today is 352p, 13% above current 313p so can't see why the large drop today ?

Thanks Pearls and railwayman2 for your opinions. Yes, the FDCs were heavily over marketed, a bit of a con job really but buyer beware and all that !! So maybe by 2300 they may be worth something especially also if many are soaking the stamps off theit envelopes !!! Hope this SGI recover at some stage, I lost seious money on them in the last 5 years, and now hold a fraction in case ..............!!
