PRD - good read thanks for sharing.
I was annoyed at how blasé Boris is going on about 3rd wave coming to our shores. I would like to think the 30m vaccines down will count for something. I never fully bought the huge demand spike for summer but if they don't get tourism back to places like Spain then the EU is going to see member's default. As a remain voter its pains me to say this - "I am glad we are out", they are sowing the seeds for their own end now.

Oil just jumped a $. Very volatile......

Ugly day coming. Asia taking a battering and nasdaq dropped 3%. Hopefully the big boys just taking us on a ride. They must have been bored with the last month. Europe not helping with vaccine dodging!

You still at the tables ace? Hope all is well.
I have a small holding here. Will double down if it hits 18p.

Mrc, got to laugh at the panic a drop from 70 to 69 creates. When it was under $30. Ebitda of $1bn at this rate surely, be nice to see debt under 1 as a multiple. Not seen that in tlw or pmo (pre merger).

Are you on drugs? I am sure SNT (whatever that is), know that they need a margin out of a contract - this is something WSG have never had. they spend it all and more - that is the objective of the BOD, to make a living out of SH cash.

It does make sense. They never move up the same way on the same day.
Trick is to try and play it!

Funny with oil shares, any dip and we see gloom! I am so guilty.
The fundamentals right now are just so good. I am happy if brent holds 55.
Roll on the summer spike.

Wonder if oil will spike as lockdown lifts. I see China comments have booted the markets today (very helpful. Its normally January when the whole China demand propaganda campaign is started by hedge funds to achieve their lower by in.
F knows where anything is going right now.

Michael, hope so, feels singled out.

AA, i get it, looked like i was bragging, but to be honest the amount is pathetic! Patience and good investing will build it, cumulative interest.

Nasty day coming in markets, china and japan down. Lloyds will be interesting to watch today after latest results, im guessing a down day. Oil doing well considering.

I care AA. It amazes me how the average joe is so switched off to the biggest investment in his life!

Small trader, be careful, don't over invest in a single share!

Small Trader - I am with HL. Mainly a SIPP, that has collated about 4 prior job pension schemes.
I like HL, very good app on the phone and always gives me a quote.
Not bragging cos its not much really - I have £100k in the SIPP and they charged me £17 this month - to give you an idea.
One mistake I made was I chose BestInvest for my SIPP initially, they weren't awful but they are not for a trader - they sometimes make you wait until the shares have settled before you can sell. Also - their admin is slow, I could have cried in 2016 when PMO relisted and went 100% up on the day - I couldn't trade it because the platform took 1 day to register it was no longer delisted!!! That is a risk I do not need.

My current work pension is with Standard Life. If I ever leave that pot will be straight into my SIPP also. Hideous platforms.
It amazes me that the biggest investments in people's lives are on such appalling platforms. When you switch funds it can take up to 3 days. If you speak to the average person at my work they will have made 15% return over the last 5 years. I have made about 50% - mainly because I moved it into a cash fund in Feb 20 and bought back at a 25% discount. Sometimes moves like that are gold (and lucky), I did it because a very travelled person I spoke to told me more about COVID than our media were reporting.

Its not worth it Pelle. Had some bad days, leave it in funds.

Pelle - the SIPP is not something I contribute to. It is a collection of previous employers pensions.
Once you leave a company it freezes and you can either leave it, transfer it to new employer or like I have done move it to a SIPP. To me it is better in a SIPP due to range of investments. Most works pensions platforms are utter garbage. The Standard Life I have with current employer is useless, even trying to find fund prices is just painful.

Jungle - don't forget "profitless"
They don't make a profit out of anything they do - that's the point.
Next new large contract = placing for "necessary CAPEX"........
Everything they have ever done results in a net cash outflow, mainly to their own banks.

Spindok - I think most will go back to work, because they want to. None of this is good for mental health and we are social creatures. I am fed up of zoom\webex calls and being on the phone. I hate that work feels like it is in my house.

Mr C - I was joking about my buy\sell indicators of course. My aim is to make just 20% each year (because that will make my SIPP £1m+ at aged 57.5). My current work pension is something I view as making up any shortfalls. I am glad I made the win here, it lets me sit back for a bit.

PYUECK
I work from only a couple of indicators:

1. When you see a message board complaining of doom, whinging about the BOD and pretty much everything - buy.
2. When you see a message board all congratulating each other - sell.

Wider market taking a beating. We need some optimism on virus exit plan. Im hoping numbers continue to fall sharply, as vaccine kicks in v people that are more important (entitled) than me.

No idea why it just suddenly woke up and went shooting past TLW and PMO in terms of growth.
It just does that!
I came out yesterday, had to, was 40% up (12.5 to 17.5) and it is only Feb. Trick for me now is to stay away from penny stocks. I am like John Daly winning at golf - straight to Vegas!
Interesting update today from Barclays, a bit of divi re-instatement but ultimately the RNS has disappointed, knock on effect also for LLOY and RBS.
