"Stock Market for me is to buy when there is unexpected major
Crisis in the country-world then sell once there is recovery. I have
Done it in 2008-2009 and 2020. At the moment, waiting for the next
Major crisis, hopefully won't be long cos the Tories are in power."

However, the real investment guru, Warren Buffet says:
"If you aren't thinking about owning a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes"

I think his opinion is the better path to follow.

Cineworld was one I had been considering a few months ago, as well as Purple Bricks and Boohoo! But I decided not to!

I came across this post yesterday on the Cineworld BB from some poor soul.
Under the thread "My life is over thanks to this share......Fri 13:48"
"Just want to say I ruined my life thanks to the stupid decision to invest in this share and listening to the positive posters rather than the (now I realise) realistic negative ones. Everything gone, my wife will kill me if she knew our life savings had now vanished. So I'll save her the job."

To the credit of several other members of that board, several have replied trying to console him. Later in the day after reading this and seeing some of the replies, LSE Administration put up a post advising anyone affected by events with Cineworld should seek help and posted links to the Citizens Advice Bureau and the Samaritans.

To be fair it seems that the share was held back most of that time by events such as ongoing fallout from Financial crisis, PPI mis-selling, Brexit, Reading scandal, COVID, Russia invasion of Ukraine. And now if you listen to BOE a looming recession. As with the title and lyrics of a certain hit in 1993 for Irish band D:Ream................... Things can only get better! We hope!

After 121 trading days, buyback complete to date:
Total shares to date.................................................3,328,408,541
Total Cost to date... ................................................ £1,484,715,615.99
Average price paid to date.......................................44.607p
Percentage of £2 billion buyback completed.........74.24%

Chapter 11 will mean that the creditors of the outstanding debt will exchange the debt for equity and the share holders will lose out.

Experienced day traders have likely made a killing with this? If you bought at 16:00 on Wednesday and sold at 12:00 on Thursday you would have made 40%. Not for me though!!!!!!

Here we go again......FTSE recovers morning losses and making good gain now........and Lloyds getting hit again going down, sub 45p as I write, as FTSE goes up! The Friday afternoon dump? Such a frustrating share!

Here's one for you to watch..........make sure you wear your boxing gloves when watching it! lol

Will it be good for share holders though? It should be...........but as with previous hikes the SP will probably take another hit!

livestock,
You have just posted the same link as what Trojan posted at 15:36. Read my post at 15:42 and then read the very last 2 paragraphs of the article on proactive investors.

You are delusional.

After 120 trading days, buyback complete to date:
Total shares to date.................................................3,299,294,209
Total Cost to date... ................................................ £1,471,582,140.82
Average price paid to date.......................................44.603p
Percentage of £2 billion buyback completed.........73.58%

"For Barclays, the ShoreCap target price is 171p, which offers 91% upside based on the last close price, while for VMUK a target of 156p offers 83% upside.
StanChart's 603p target equates to 41% upside; NatWest 40% based on a 261p target; for Lloyds the 46p target would give a 36% gain; and for HSBC 550p would give 26%. "
Those figures don't make sense with current prices?

Diplomacy?

Thankfully neither of the 2 ever will be!

After 119 trading days, buyback complete to date:

"and if they have bought back so many shares then the dividends should be higher but they are not they are pathetic"
The dividends are higher! They raised the interim dividend 20%!

Watching clips of Liz Truss in Norther Ireland today for the latest hustings with Sunak. All she can seem to say is "I will make sure this.......I will make sure that........I will make sure if...........I will make sure....." without giving any detail or explanation how she would achieve each of those "I will make sure"!

Is this an inadvertent admission you are living in a dream world?
