just topped up, third purchase, very small transactions compared to the rest of my portfolio, but this is in my basket of high risk high reward plays. DYOR

I have doubled my holdings today at 597.6. Good company in the north east, Im happy with the valuation and the growing dividend, but the cherry on top is the management team think this share is undervalued and are buying back the stock, which is a good use of the cash in a growing economy. I dont know if they benefit from Rishis 5k give away, but the fact that the management are buying it suggests it might do.

Cathie moves money around, but when people sell her ETF they sell Tesla.

really good value here, I bought a few days ago for 223. Dunno if it will drop to 200 first, but this should be 280 by end of the year

what a pain, so what happens next if they don't accept your shares?

Tesla has fallen 850 at to 650 = 24% fall
My trade has gone from 0.0064 to 0.0104 = 56% gain
Dollar / GBP rate has changed a little from 0.74 to 0.725
Just patiently waiting for the margin calls to happen.

the USA is already pumping cash into the economy at an unparrelled rate. There have pumped in like 8T over the last 12 months and thats like double their tax take. The dollar looks like its started a 8 year decline, and if they pump too much too soon, they risk trashing the dollar in an alarming time frame. They are already going to get massive inflation in the US which will be politically dangerous. So looks like the animal spirits are pairing back behind the scenes. Currency cant devalue at a massive rate else it will suddenly crash and everything breaks.

Hi Perma.bear, yes unfortunately, doh. Thats the problem when you get your gains so soon. FRES (580) & HOC (98) were leading my portfolio for a time (went up to 1400 and 330 respectively). Now, these two have come down and the likes of BP, RDSB, CCL, RR, ESC, AML, FEVR, MTRO, CINE, LLOY, BARC, HSBA, TLW have gone up a fair bit. Im just a long term buy and hold value investor.

I hold 59 stocks in all, 21 have gone down an average of 24%, 38 went up an average of 46%. I'm now in a good position to top up further especially with Stocks ISA allowance available in April. I have no where better to put the money so I allocate my cash and leave it.

i topped up my holding at 910 yesterday, having bought in at 560, 600 back last year. Have got more dry powder if it drops to 800 range

HL sounds good, I keep all my shares in IG and havent had a problem with them yet. Fingers crossed

not yet here either, first time using it and came here just to double check if i had been scammed.

Tesco management look to have a nice approach to adding shareholder value. Spare cash used to reduce the float of the shares making future EPS growth excel by 20%. They are basically giving the money back to the shareholders and hoping they repurchase boosting the share price even more. I see this pull back as being healthy, higher lows and higher highs to come. (that means weve had a 25% jump then a 10% pull back, then hopefully another 25% charge upwards to 280p ish.

still waiting for my Tesco dividend in my IG account. Anyone else got the same issue? Not too bothered as I intend to re-invest it back into Tesco shares which are down 10%. Not sure why, seems a good bet going forward. Perhaps due to competition this year, or Rishi is going to penalise supermarkets on wednesday. Who knows?

My short at 880 (pre-market price 850 of Tesla) was .00064 on 11th Jan 2021. Today 3STS.L was 0.00101 (approx 60% up in dollar terms), with Tesla at 683 at 4:30pm UK time. Tesla is now at 681 in the US at 6pm, but this stock will not be tradable again until Monday, so if you want to get in and out its not that easy. Currency conversions might be a bit tricky too, the £ has fallen a bit between my trade open and today. Only problem with this i have is Im so emotionally attached to watching this go down to prove Tesla is an overvalued company, that its taken my eye off other things. Be warned.

Im in! at 223 on the primary bid placing. Wont see the shares in my brokerage account till Tuesday at the earlier, I could have bought the same shares this morning for the same price and had them straight away, but they didnt charge me any fees, so I guess thats a plus.

Im in! Really regret not buying a Berkeley house a few years ago, it wasn't really the best time for us, but i still think about it. Plan is to build a position as it falls to even out any volatility coming this year. Will use this investment as a hedge against increased property prices in future.

seems a good price here, any news for the 5% sell off?

the timing of it is unreal, you've got less than 5 hours to see this RNS, sign up to this website and subscribe to it. This is gonna cost me a few pennies to get out of this, but this is insulting, Ill happily take the pain. What a **** show.

RNS at 4:11pm, yet I'm allowed to subscribe to new shares by 9pm the same day? wtf?

I have Fresnillo and Hoschild for £UK silver investments, I also have some PHAG. Had a little look into buying real physical silver, but I think you have to pay 20% VAT, crazy.
