Don’t know about £12 but for sure, we are not going to see under £10 again. Very few shares went up today, especially In the FTSE100. Last week, it dropped to 10.25 then bounced up fast. Even covid doesn’t seem to impact it

Many thanks everyone, let’s hope for a rise. With their good health I am confident there will be

Hi everyone, stumbled across an article back in August which endorsed GLENs strategy, predicting Coal would be in huge demand for a long time to come. Bought in and am confident SP will jump from here. However, have researched but am struggling to find when next dividend is likely to be announced and would be grateful for people’s views on this and as to how much it will be increased. Personally, with the profits in the bag and Coal news now, surely it will be greater?
Views please

Thankyou

Please see my post back on 5 May. Surprised this board is so quiet. Didn’t expect or want to wait this long for this to take off, but in view of the shoal of Director Buys in November, impressive RNS today and so much potential in what is a very bespoke market, hopefully it will now. Bought more today and with projections of 84p (which I think is conservative) and since this stayed in the 60’s, seeing little downside. What do I know about fishing? Practically nothing. But everything I read about BMK appeals. All we are missing now is a dividend, I will be happy with getting around £1 As usual DYOR GLA

Agreed. This is a no brainier. Please see my post last week when I never expected such fabulous news. Their presentation was solid, confirmed growth and that contracts have been renewed = yes, plenty of income to go to the bottom line. FIFA are rather large…..can only assume that SP won’t jump until we do see actual figures in black and white. So, be patient, I topped up today too. Just cannot see downside here especially as they confirmed last week that they are well ahead of competition. GLA

Agreed. BIRD picked up yet another award today, environmental. Not shown on this site but on HGL. Stocks always dive up and down upon a placing, so not bothered. Please see my previous notes for anyone interested. Just not seeing a weakness here.

Hi Paul, couldn’t resist referring back to my comment that this would stay above £10! Rare and a joy that I called it right, time will tell, but especially after the carnage today, to see a small rise is rewarding. Will add more if it returns to £10 ish but as before, I really can’t see that happening, this stock is going from strength to strength. GLA

BMS said in November - The board expects to report underlying operating profit* for the half year to 31 August 2021 of £6.9m, well ahead of the prior period (2020: £5.6m) as a result of the strength in depth and diversification of the Group’s shipbroking service lines, together with the general strength in many of the Group’s shipbroking markets.

The overall trading environment for Braemar continues to be positive and the board now expects to report underlying operating profit* for the year to 28 February 2022 of £10.8m (2021: £8.9m), 21% ahead of the prior period and 15% ahead of the board’s previous guidance.

Sometimes this good news doesn’t hit the SP straight away. Am hoping for similar positive RNS in the near future, but for now see this as a low risk stock, especially as others have said on here, the dividend is here too. Views anyone please?

UNCTAD say- “Maritime trade contracted by 3.8% in 2020, reflecting an initial shock from Covid, but it rebounded later in the year and is projected to increase by 4.3% in 2021 The medium-term outlook for maritime trade remains positive but subject to mounting risks and uncertainties”. Other mixed observations but overall it seems Braemar is a well established company who have (forgive the pun..) weathered the storm
Have observed this company for a long time and because elsewhere in shipping - WNWD launched 2 days ago, looked again and by chance just before today’s rise, so jumped in. Forgive me for shouting out WNWD but if you care to take a look you will see what I mean.
Going back to BMS

Thanks Shareinvestment. Invested here showing a tidy profit when it hit 140, regretted not selling sooner to limit damage and got out at 98. Have stood back since but when I saw today’s RNS - thought “what the hell” I want that money back! (Usually not a wise move at the best of times) and sold a LTH which had dropped today to get back in here. Haven’t forgotten the strong powerful ambition from the presentation back in H1 which was beautifully backed up by the Telegraph promotion = up it went. Then we had radio silence for months and people got wary, with the selling train gathering speed. So = yes, I agree there seems little downside from here, just hope I have the nerve to stay in, as suspect that a lot of people like me will try to recover their losses. Looking forward to the many potential deals in the pipeline - eg Rolls Royce coming to fruition, let’s hope so..GLA

I give you a round of applause for buying at such an amazing low price, I can’t say any of my p/f fall into that category. Have no complaints with an average of 91and likewise, will be holding for a while yet
Have no idea of just how high this can go. But as with others, am struggling to find a weakness here. Wow! What a jump up today.

Was impressed with their ambition to expand and clearly BIRD have the edge over competition saying others are literally way behind them. Understandable focus on fund raising with the board investing from their own pockets. I asked what happened to existing contracts and was happy with the answer - yes, they are being renewed and they are getting repeat business with ever increasing income. Surprised this has been kept so far under the radar. For me, this is a solid stepping stone for the expansion. Topped up. Views anyone please? Thankyou

One of my better purchases fully approved so the company can choose when to distribute
Focus on USA where like everyone else they are behind our vaccination programme
Product helps those with breathing difficulties which is sadly a symptom of Covid
Guessing jump up today is ahead of impressive sales which are due probably January
So forgive me, but from a selfish point of view, this could not be better timed and like others on this board see this growing
Will continue to top up if it falls back down below 100, but wouldn’t be surprised if never gets there again.

GLA

Am down a fair chunk after buying yesterday, but definitely holding. Why the drop? Not a clue, however, company made it clear they will be paying a dividend + as on this board below, great RNS + plenty not even reflected in SP. given up trying to understand the market, this year it seems every time any company gets a great RNS the price plummets. Can’t argue that the value is reflected in the SP, it is way undervalued. GLA can’t wait til 2022 when this really starts to deliver

Agreed just topped up

I don’t know about reaching 3.15 by year end, looks like week end…

Truth is, I am more interested in the predicted price when Santa comes down the chimney in 2025

Please see my post at 12.29 today. Thanks

Sorry would really help if I could type. NG. National grid not NP

Hi, I don’t know much about the telephone industry but will share my research. Brokers tip Vodafone to go to around 160 but admit the risk is high because of the fierce competition in that industry and the view of the Vodafone management isn’t good and they don’t sit top of the telephone league table, endorsed by some on this board. I did invest here but sold at a loss and am looking for a better alternative, hence this reply
Considering NP. Which is reliable, good dividends but right now a little too high for a ideal entry point. Hopefully it will drop before ex div 2/12. Results were good. However, I recommend NP. not due to my research but because it’s one of the top 5 for the futur from Hargreaves lansdown. See for yourself on their homepage. It’s in an ideal position to lead the energy, environmental growth which will continue to be flavour of the month, pays a healthy dividend and for me is a better bet than Vodafone BP similar proposition with SP falling nicely. Despite the good results for IMB I just can’t invest in tobacco as can only see demand continuing to fall. Not found anything else that gives that level of reliability. Knowing my luck, VODA IMBwill fly…my late father, bless him invested in NP. 20 years ago. Very wise move and it’s that which will make me invest here. Good luck in whatever you choose to do
