We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
nearly spat my tea out then as glanced over to see who posted and mistook VP's post count for the SP ..2052 oh well, fingers crossed we'll get there seither oon enough after a bumper xmas period, now this news has dropped and spreads, never hurts being at the top of the ftse risers as will create interest with P.I's who have sat on the fence watching and waiting to see where the court case was taking us. think it may move slightly higher this afternoon, a 200p uplift from yesterday close would be very nice... even jimmy is smiling today.
agreed it is your choice, but can't you do it with mates down the pub, or even the dog... obviously you realise that every negative comment you make on the board as a shareholder will impact negatively with any new investor sitting on the fence watching and waiting, so doesn't help you or any of us. but like you say your choice, i just find it a little odd you comment as much as you do on every minor dip like the whole market is against you, or you were promised a steady monthly rise on your investment when you signed up. we all like to sound off now and again, and of course nobody likes to be sat on a loss, so it must be hard for you and i feel for you, honestly. is this your only investment or have you had a lot more luck elsewhere and therefore your portfolio as a whole is at least at break even point, or better still in positive territory?
jimmy, i don't want to sound harsh. but you made a decision to invest and it didn't go right for you on this occasion - YET. . what were your expectations exactly, to double your money in 3 months? a year? .. if so perhaps that would have been greedy and unrealistic, learn from it. for someone that is invested, even though you are sitting on a somewhat small loss at present, you don't half moan and bleat every time there is a dip - no matter if the reasons are valid or out of ocado's control. my advice - stop looking 20 times a day and come back once a week to check on your investment, you'll sleep easier.
your right i'm really down and have suffered this year, perhaps i should have listened to your insight on here and other boards...
sar - up 700%
wmh - sold at 300% +
mars - sold at 200% +
rr - sold at 100% +
iag - sold at 100% +
mks - sold at 90% +
gsk - sold at 30% +
grg - sold at 100% +
the list goes on... and i still hold ocdo at a profit, do i wish i had sold some at 2900p, of course, but long term - i'm talking 2026-2028 i would expect to see ocdo above 3500p.
i'm not taking anything personal HG - i just don't like people that spout total B.S, your bowels must be jealous of your mouth at times. you have said on here that the SP will be 1500p by end of play today, so at 4.30p.m - come back and apologise to one and all and admit you got this wildly wrong, will you do so - of course not.
what are you on about, i think you are starting to confuse yourself now, i suggest you have a long hard?..frankly that's between me and my wife. i'm not mad or upset in any way, i just don't like you. my position here is still in profit, why you are suggesting i'm new to the share or sitting on a loss is beyond me.
1500p today? so a 10% drop from this point in the next 5 hours - are you unstable or just disruptive. do you have to come back from your travels HG or is it QA, clearly one and same person. i see you are 'both' deramping dixons saying you expect 100p this week too, from their current 131p.
hi thanks for advice, when you say average down isnt that what i'd be doing by buying more on the original holding? would it be better to buy more then and say invest in 10000, which i think would be my limit. so 10,006 total and if my maths are right, approx £2000 + the original £745... so my average then would be 27p or thereabouts - 2745/10006, which i'd imagine would be achievable soon enough and it would get me back into profit and recover my original stake i thought i'd never see again?
hi, i held a small amount of val shares about 12-15 years ago, they did nothing and diluted the company and i forgot about them/wrote them off. but i like where they are now and am thinking of investing again. the old shares are in my halifax account and i hold 6 at something daft like £124 each, as below.. can someone far smarter than me let me know what happens if i were to buy 5000 shares tomorrow at £1000 or thereabouts. . would i then own 5006 shares and it would be my initial stake of £745 added to the £1000 hence 1745/5006 and my new average would be 0.348p.. if i have that right, then i guess it would be better to right off the £745 and sell the initial holding at close to 0 and just purchase again at 20p? any advice or help please, i cant get my head around it for sure...
VAL - 6 - 12424.6667p - £745.48 *19.80p £1.19 £-744.29 -99.84%
i'll take a pat on the back then elliot!...i think you were discussing some high end home gym company and i suggested SAR instead/as well, i looked but never invested, how did it work out for you?...i just need to turn a 500% profit on OCDO now...

Looks high end, $4295, wow! I'm guessing anyone willing to spend that will already have a Peloton set up or similar high end gear they have committed to recently? But i'll have a good read, thanks. I'll swop you for - SAR - news conference Thursday p.m, lots of irons in the fire and looks very cheap still at 1.5p.
thinking about getting back in here as a long term hold, but still feel its a bit of a gamble and don't share the huge optimism of most, even at 89p range. mainly as their future is completely out of their hands at present - there is no way i could invest knowing that if the indian variant takes hold and boris pulls the plug on june openings and we go into yet another lockdown of sorts then. well, who knows... but i wouldn't want to be invested if/when that news broke. so i'll continue to get splinters in my bum and sit on the fence taking the risk it may fly back to 100p + in the next few weeks / or of it dropping like a stone back to the 75p area on release of any bad news which will impact openings and revenue. if the later, i'll take the gamble with the hope of long term recovery in 36 months time.
never usually a good idea to just have one egg in your basket, but time will tell. 275p-285p before i commit to a decent buy as it cannot find the bottom, so still watching from sidelines as an AFC investor with an average of 55p (wishing i'd cashed out last month and bought back in) i'm sure there are a fair few thinking the same here!
Still being able to pick these up at 150p seems a no-brainer with the current figures and full year results to follow late June. Todays rns regarding the duty free stores is more positive than negative, as to why anyone would sell and drag the SP down 7p is beyond me. They have no customers to speak of at the airports - so they don't need the overheads of the lease, the staff or to stock these shops with discounted goods... its a positive in all respects (apart from those losing their jobs). These stores used to generate a profit, now don't so they are reacting NOW not in many months time, hoping things return to 'normal' burning cash trying holding onto them, another good business decision in all respects.

Nothing but positives here, the next 5 months up to the AGM are going to be an exciting ride for investors, I expect to see 190p-200p by late Sept. 2021....

more negatives than positives in the MF report for me, MARS are still cash burning £4m-5m a week staying afloat as the majority of their pubs and hotels will not open for another 4 weeks... IF... the brazilian and indian variants do not creep into the U.K during the next 4 weeks, its likely it will somehow do so, couple this with a possible increased R rate thanks to lockdown easing and we could return to partial lockdowns this summer - and we all know what businesses will be closed first. i think at 90-110p the possible long term recovery of this share, is actually already priced in, any further negative news from this point and it will retrace to 70-85p range...
very quiet here considering at a year high for the SP, sales ahead of targets, revenue up, profit up, working from home the new normal and dc. really benefiting from this.. oh and the closure of loss making sections of the business with the announcement of more CW bricks and mortar closures in favour of online... onward and upwards to 165p+
