FTSE100 is down 1% again today and we are looking flat so that's a win imo

I tend to agree given the backdrop of the ftse 100 being down nearly 1%

Thanks for the comedy Manz :)

I think until some positive news/update comes out then this isn't really going to re-rate anytime soon. Realistically we should get some news n the next 2-6 weeks so it shouldn't be that long we have to wait but it's going to feel like an age, as others have said just have patience try not to watch this one daily because it's just going to add to the frustration.

I am very frustrated myself but it's not one of those that keeps me up at night and I have 5 figures in here.

without wishing to derail the discussion THG has indeed been very nice to trade I got in @ 52 after the last update and bottled it @ 64, hoping for the market to react badly to tomorrows update so i can get back in :)

LG I too think things are going to turn soon, the SP has resisted capitulating today with the expected ex div dip (could still happen, I hope I haven't jinxed it) and as you alude to potential good news could drop any day now.

Just out of interest I checked and 2022 they announced their date for their Q1 trading update on the 8th of April and reported on the 26th so that should be just around the corner too which will hopefully be positive and not marred too much by the UK strikes.

are you aware this is ex dividend date and this drop was expected?

Yup, expect volatility today people are going to be selling for tax purposes and to move funds into their new ISA's tomorrow, see where we end up middle of next week when the dust has settled.

Some platforms will have an option where you can tell them to reinvest the dividend but it's not normally a free transaction there will be a fee. I just let the cash land in my account and then decide what to do with it myself.

i've not seen price action like this, every morning this stock tries to head north of 123-4p and every morning without fail the market goes "where the hell you think you're going, 120-122p please"

Quick my head tells me we'll see £2 before the end of the year but if it takes 18 months to get there so be it

I'm in @ 126, i'd like £2 within 18-24 months.

Does anyone actually understand what JPM are doing here?

From a technical perspective 125 is the next hump to get over before we can reenter the 130's, hopefully get some positive news and ISA buying to get us there in the next fortnight.

It's been range bound for the almost the entire day between 121-122 hopefully it picks a direction sooner or later this week... to the upside

It is low but not ATL and there's still a couple of hours of the trading session.

ATL? Better get to spec savers mate

Interesting first post ;) not saying it's impossible but i'd be surprised to see it slide there without some negative news.

Well we were hovering around 115-116 last week so we have improved but NEX always acts like it's trying to ski uphill

A rise of any kind in todays market is a win, it's a sea of red out there. I have no doubt it will be accepted but II's may want to sit on the sidelines until it's announced.
