well done, spk later

Hi T, I see Ocado just up, but 1268 earlier, funny how some things take time to get going in morning.
Got a few non-share things on mind, Ocado looking positive.
Yes, maybe IAG has hit top of cycle for now. Probably not a bargain. Suppose I might end up just leaving them. The dividends are useful though.( except the 19% tax that you can't get back fro Spain!)
Sorry, didn't look at ASOS, maybe not for me, don't understand the company much. Bit concerned about fashion retail downward pressures, especially when companies using slave labour to make the clothes.

Hi T, I think I’m getting it slowly. Speak later

Got toothache again...so got to go back tomorrow, bit annoyed.

I did see IAG look like it might move up later to just below yesterday close, but for some reason bombed in last 45mins. Prob going down. Maybe someone saw the chart?

When you say peak to trough 50p, you wouldn't have bought at 1254 at 8.01am though? because nobody would know they definitely weren't going down further, based on day before. 1290 you might have picked as high, because that is a good bounce and in my mind unlikely to go higher today, especially with the low volume.

Still no date for results that I can see.

They do say have a 7% rule of loss, otherwise most likely to fall further. Heard people say that limiting their losses improved everything. I have had IAG fall much further but was still confident of coming back.

Hi T, bang on 1280 finish, low volume a slight concern
Yes would be good to own more shares. Really the money I used for IAG is reserve so need a bargain. Or leave alone.
I'll keep watching.
Take it easy..

Hi T, that's right. Only thing is, I'm not sure they will get back to 620, but they might.
They got over a hump a while ago. Will need something to rock everybody first.
I haven't bought any yet!
Thought we might be closer to 1280 finish but still up 16p which is pretty good.

hi T, was reading this when dropped to 655
Ocd also down a bit too

just watching when I can!
Well, chart here says 1290 and almost there, BUT IAG nowhere near graph high. Don't know if it is actually predicting the future.
Glad you in profit, I saw they were up to 1285, back to 1268 and then back to 1288
trailing back now...wonder what finish will be?

Hi T,

re; earlier
Yes pay our NI contrib. Not totally sure where we stand. Yes, you need to develop your own income stream these days!
We are/were Graphic Design and Photography, just industry turned on it's head.

We worked in Munich, but I was in Cottbus near Berlin last January...having hernia operation - didn't want a mesh bodge job done in UK, so went to world expert there and fortunately was allowed to claim a lot of it back under EU law.

Yes, 50 people say things fail healthwise, just got to try and eat right and excercise -stay away from sugar if you have had C.
Great if you are still getting to Tennerife, not much winter warmth in Northern Italy and gas costs a fortune.

very, very low volume so far

nearly 1290 now T

where did that come from

Thanks for thinking T, we're not quite at that stage yet. It's just very hard to make money these days in what my wife and self do, if we look back a few years ago it's just shocking. Don't want to moan to you, you've got your own life. It's just a struggle that's all. I Know there is a lot of people out there in same position, not unemployed, but not earning much either. Companies looking to pay less than half what they did in the past and asking for extras etc....all boring. Plus the age factor of 50 and 56. UK a massively ageist country. We worked in Germany in the 1990'as and senior experienced people were lauded not laughed at.

Sorry to hear about your divorce too, that's very tough. Not sure if we will end up selling our place at a small loss at some point, that will be a wrench had some good times there and a big change from being in UK all the time, hanging in for now. We haven't got kids so was our "project".

I think all we want, is to have enough money to change what we do with our time, wife would like to spend time making ceramics.

Glad to see Ocado up a bit today, still a way to go, but healthier. I can start to think of trading half of mine once over 13.

Ocado picking up. I was looking around for bad business news, global or otherwise and couldn't actually see much today. No reporting. So you'd think would be a calm day.
If we get back into 1280's and stay people may come back in. The previous momentum up and over 13 was built up over quite a few days.
No, still watching IAG , saw the graph, 650 or so would be good for me, but not dropping. At least I didn't do the 8.01am panic and buy on the spike.
Wasn't really thinking of buying more Ocado, but 1254 would have been quite good this morning.

Trying to hold back with IAG. hoping price goes down seems odd if you also want them to go up as well!

piers morgan is a ***** and a trump *****, that's the nicest thing I can think to say about him. the press is APALLED by Harry/Meg because it's their cash cow going out the window.
Ocdo going up a touch, not confident of 1290 today, but did look back over closing prices in Sep/Oct and quite a few over 13.
Suppose main reason I got back in is overall, the graph since major rise has stayed quite high, despite the drop back to 11.
Good luck

ha, ha...they're all at it.

Hi T, will write later.
All can see on news is shares expected up on US news. So let's see
Good luck

Hi T,
There's a lot to take in there, thanks again. I do appreciate you taking an interest. No offence taken. I don't know anyone else who is interested in talking. I want to get cleverer in what I do and have a little bit better life.
Very sorry to hear you have been unwell. Are you doing OK ...or not really? I've had some experience with friends and family in that position. Have you tried any alternative therapies? I've had tinnitus since 2017 which has had a big impact on me (just turned 50 and had to give up playing in a band and going out to gigs/events, even using power tools etc )...but find meditation, yoga, reiki, change of diet and excercise have made me feel better, even if it can't cure it.

We are going to Italy, got a small place we bought in 2004 and did up ourselves. Brexit obviously a killer blow to our future plans. Where are you going?

For this week, can't do much about my Ocado shares, just wait. IAG interesting tomorrow, could go a bit further, then drop.

Exactly right, I have panicked before, (although, believe it or not has paid off sometimes).
Once you have sold a share though, are we saying that the next option is A. wait till it drops or B. look for an alternative that is going up, if A. doesn't drop to what we wanted?
Ocado this week an example I suppose.
When you look back at closing prices for more than a week and factor in the bad supermarket news on Thurs, a fall was due (you predicted). There was actually nothing from Ocado that was going to immediately combat those other results...so basic logic should have said it's not going to go up. Only the very first few minutes did it move up, before people realised the situation.
Next question, when to get back in?
What would stop it falling further..........their upcoming results 3-4 weeks away, (although some buyers might say, well, four others have had poor ones?).
If it could hang around 1280 that's nearer 13.
1259 sounds quite a bit closer to 12. That will be a longer wait.

Re; Proverbs...if in doubt, also a good one. Drew Pritchard, off Salvage Hunters said similar when he's buying antiques, sometimes you just can't decide if it is a good deal. That's when he says walk away too.

If OCADO did relist as Tech, that could be good news

Similar to me T, not selling some on spikes...that's because it's not easy to do.
If bigger players want to sell with a bit less profit, they are more or less pulling rug from beneath you. So, I suppose you have to take in the whole year on balance and hopefully make more good choices than bad.

I hope this year will be your best ever, but I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. I can't see how this year is shaping up. Maybe it will be steady as we get closer to US elections, but not much cheer in UK at the moment. M&S have been making recovery in past few months, but share buyers are not impressed now, I think it will take ages to get them back on track. They keep making promises on changes. Not at all helpful to us here. I would think that the delivery tie-up would be successful, but what is the bottom line on profit from that I don't know.
We could have a small bet, yes, I imagine you think I'm being more negative than you? I just think Ocado had some massive news that drove those big leaps, so we will need that again to get over 14 first, but maybe it will come from something overseas rather than UK? In 2 years things could be different if results start coming in from Australia, USA, Japan, Sweden.

I appreciate all the tips and info, sounds like you've had an interesting career, are you retired now?
Yes, have wondered about "go away in May" does seem to be some truth. Plus, this end of Tax year period.
You can always be open to bargains that come up during year, there is bound to be some shocking falls where FTSE back to high 6000's. I am the same I had bought things where price collapsed thinking that even with a modest recovery they would be a sure thng...and weren't.

Probably what brought me back to Ocado, when you think of the Tech boundaries being pushed, that's got to be valuable.

I agree having a goal (for the year), definitely does spur you on and makes you focus on the job.

Bloody Ryanair though, I only just booked flights for April and he's whacked up baggage/seat charges again...most flights seem full, so yes he should be in profit.

Won't bore you with family problems, (my parents obviously trying to prove something from beyond the grave) but just explaining where I got money to buy shares. I started smalltime in 98, but then stopped when we were buying a house. I had some reasonable success in early days,

You do have to remember that UNFORSEEN events can come out of the blue.

Take it easy
