Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Basically the bottom line is we are absolutely no clearer than we were 24hrs ago. We still don't know if they can make things work or not, all the same questions are still in place.
What would have happened to Dan Betts a long time ago if he was managing a football club? We know what, because nobody likes being in the relegation zone.
Well as unfortunately expected Humm carried on disappointing, almost as disappointing as the reaction here. What's this absolute bo ocks about NOT HERE FOR THE RESULTS BUT FOR THE POTENTIAL??????????? Of course we are for results ,are you happy for another 4 reports of poor results next year,as long as they have potential, and the same the year after? You can't live off potential. You live of results and we bloody need some, it will be nice for them to actually forget about potential and start to start doing.
So a quick straw poll, who's optimistic about tomorrow and who's pessimistic? Have to say I'm pessimistic, but you never know. They might get it right one day.
I wouldn't buy any more here as such,some fairly pessimistic predictions about, I've just read a pretty discouraging one (taken with a pinch) my opinion is the safest way to average down is just to reinvest your dividend, that's what I'm doing and slowly my break even price becomes lower, without actually touching my savings. Just my opinion or way of thinking.
I take it you opened the sherry a little early this evening?
Yes I'm not optimistic , I think rumours of good news would have been circulating by now if there was any,and we would have seen some positive movements here by now. However let's hope for the unexpected.
Stop being so pathetically desperate for a war, so there's a chance this sp will go up, have you any idea how needy and desperate you come across?? They always have a fleet in that area, and in times of tension they add, standard procedure in times like this. They also have nuclear missiles, they don't have for nothing. They won't be using those anytime soon either. You will just have to hope the sp goes up on good figures on Thursday. FFS stop hoping for a war.. Desperate or what!
No of course I don't think a comment can do that. The obviously wished for escalation in the middle East would though. Hence the Israel about to invade Iraq wish.
No it's not . Jesus are you really that desperate to push the pog up???
Mr Betts as spoken very well for several years now, I wouldn't worry to much about his words, he's brilliant with them. I'd look more at his results, somewhat less brilliant. Let's hope on Thursday there's signs of the words and the results matching up. I wouldn't bet a penny on which way Thursday will go,but let's hope. Just don't worry too much about words.
Yep lack of skills a big issue, and those skills go abroad, and stay there and benefit others. Hum unlikely to make me a fortune, because I've only had a modest flutter, but hopefully it might pay off, if not I won't loose a fortune. Some of what I invested was already gained at easy jet. Which is really low at the moment.
Don't think so Baz lesson learnt. Safety first from now on. Anon I do respect hard work, hope you are paid plenty. I was an engineer, not the most overpaid trade, especially with (not bragging just honest) the pretty high skills level I had (have?)
Some of us have worked dam hard for our money, long hours and hard work. We're not all on mid term breaks in the Canaries, good for you that you are. However having worked for my money it's a tad disappointing to watch it dwindling. Especially when you have a site full of rampers misleading people. This as never apparently been a bad investment according to this site, at any price between £2 £3 , how many times have you heard it said here. I'm topping up at this price, can't go any lower, only for it to go lower again and the next person comes along and repeats the process. When people do research before investing, these sites are among the places they look. I'm pleased to say I've never talked it up and encouraged people to part with their hard earned, many here can't say that. Yes your right I would be happier with a 3% gain in the bank (we all know we can do much better than 3%) rather than the rather large loss this year here. Who wouldn't? Can someone tell me when this year was a bad time to buy these, because according to general opinion here, there hasn't been a bad time. Soon as I get my money back, I'm off.
That's an interesting post OBW.
At least we have the rugby World Cup to watch so much more entertaining than the bloody football.
It kills me on here. To be honest every board is the same full of people saying what a good investment they have made. Earlier this year this was definitely going above £3 (apart from the odd decenter ) and that made them a good buy. Now they apparently are going below£2 and that makes them a good buy. Was there ever a price between £3 and £2 that wasn't a good buy??? This company is a go nowhere do nothing investment at best, with a tiny bit of luck the dividend will cover the decline. Its so desperate here that the only thing that actually boosts the sp is rumours that another similar company is likely to be taken over. I wouldn't buy one more share in this place, the only thing I hope for is my money back one day. This is heavily invested in by institutional investors. If they ever wake up to how crap this is ,God help us.
Things are looking up, but that's a big assumption. Just as likely he will put another spanner in the works and put us back again. He talks very well, unfortunately the actions rarely live up to the talk,but here's hoping.
Great film always will be. Trouble is will this always be an opportunity ,or will it be a result one day, been an opportunity a long time, but that's all. Wisely my investment here is modest, and that's how it will remain. X
Yet we are still actually priced around 9.5p so that's not impressing many is it? One day people will get it here. The only thing that matters is results, results results and the possibly results, until then potential is nothing.
