Sanguil.
I believe you. But my first degree was in Politics and German and I did study the KGB’s elite. He wasn’t Elite at the time. He got his black belt in judo and did what he was ordered to. He was definitely in E.Berlin when I was there as I remember reading about his activities. Maybe he was a hedonist above all, but he allegedly managed the demise of a few unpopulars. He hated Gorbachov and claimed that he gave away Russia and vowed to get the satellite states back. Parties or assassinations, the bloke is amoral..even psychotically so , it has been mooted. He has had so many people poisoned by strontium or Novachuk or just shot in the back of the head or had their plane diverted because of a “ bomb” etc etc. But Stalin. Kruschev, Breschnev, Andropov…probably just as bad. Remember the umbrella poisoning in the tube in London?? . Putin so clever though. He is doing more than testing Nato. He wants Ukrain. Firstly Donetsk in the East…and then little by little. But he is testing Nato and particularly the US. Trump might have threatened to nuke him.
Not funny, but………..Trump = unhinged.
France/Spain /UK/US all sen serious front-line arms to Kyiv today. I don’t see this as just a test. But hope it turns out to be. Putin loves to posture. But economically the Roosky stock market dived today and they will suffer hugely economically .
Putin knows all this. Wily fox.
I wish I had the funds to buy 4D.All in shares on a loss. I would snap up right now. Surprised not more shorters buying.
Robins. I feel for you. I am probably losing far more than you but the system has no barriers. I bought Trinity at £1.56 in 2014. They dropped to 1.6p in the 2015 oil crash. Imagine what I lost. I held Stobart just before covid. Thank goodness I sold. They own Southend Airport. Dropped 80%. Think they are Esken now. . I have many other shares I was in. RBS went to 10p. Lloyds 25p. Glencore 65p !!! Ocado 66p!! 4D’s drop is not uncommon. But it has been very fast!
But it is on the back of a holder of 13% relentlessy selling and shorters knowing it.
I am on a ridiculous monopoly-style loss all-round. It hurts like hell . But I have lost it all before and that’s a place I never want to revisit until my final letting-go :-)
But if Russia invade, watch the Dow plunge. Nasdaq already did today. I’m not sure about what oil will do as it is in such demand.Often goes up in crises.
Pharmas are untrendy right now. Ncyt …misery. 4D joke. But the market can crush share prices as they are just numbers. If there is a resolution to Russia and when SO runs out in June( assuming selling all) then watch 4D rerate. Probably. Can never really know. Me and you and Biker and a few others are on big losses. Mine is eye-watering. But lots can happen in a year.
I have so little left on paper it is laughable compared to a year ago!! Lost 70%. Not great investing. But they were all surprises. I was in SNG when it rocketed. Surprise too!
All for one and one for all mate!!
