Can't say the interview impressed me much. Thought the pitch from six years ago was much better, and just as relevant.

Apologies Taskmaster, just seen the correction

Taskmaster, the link you posted seems to be the wrong one.

Hoping that we will see this begin to tick up again soon. Thought I'd bought some on the dips between £5 and £6, only to see it fall further.
Long term holder, but probably a few too many in my portfolio, though still tempted by the latest price!

Why is it a warning to the UK though? We are ahead of Serbia according to the stats, still have lockdown in place and as far as I'm aware haven't got lots of illegal gatherings taking place - in contrast to them. Vaccination in the UK also due to gather momentum according to the news.
Vaccinating the whole of the UK may not prevent new cases, but evidence suggests it will prevent deaths.

Thanks SatellitePro. I didn't realise skylarks nested on the ground.
Every day is a learning day as they say.
Here's hoping we have some nice weather this weekend so we can get outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of Spring.

Always have lots of sparrows chattering away at the bottom of my garden. My parents moved last Summer from their beautiful countryside home with large garden to a bungalow near town with a low maintenance garden, but surrounded by trees. Each day that Summer a hedge sparrow would sit on the fence and sing - such a joy,and I never realised what a lovely song they have.

Who else has noticed lots of adverts for stock market investing on TV these days, and I can't recall seeing any ads before - I hasten to add that my tv viewing hasn't particularly increased since lockdown. There must be a huge influx of new investors who are fed up with poor bank interest and also those who have benefited from furlough cash / reduced expense from working at home, and more time to look at the stock market.
I wonder if this is adding to the volatility of shares.? I am probably paying much more attention than I used to (particularly due to the huge increase in ITM and its ups and downs), but I have been surprised at the ups and downs of safe stocks / household names on sometimes a daily basis.
Is this a new phenomenon - or one that is getting more exaggerated?

Lfclfc5, your post really made me chuckle this morning, in fact I am still laughing, just what I needed after a difficult few days, not just because the share price keeps falling!
Trader87 - it does make you wonder what he spends the rest of his time taking about on his phone!

On my way out, so haven't got time to watch right now, but I have to say that we definitely don't want any talk of bangs where hydrogen is concerned! That's definitely going to put people right off!

Lfclfc5,
I've been a bit disappointed with some of the comments recently - reminded me of Facebook after Brexit!
I also used to work in the Energy sector, in a coal fired power station. Each summer, two of the four units would have their annual maintenance, whilst the other two generated, mainly for peak demand. With more renewables, generation patterns began to change and the last two summers before I left the station was eerily quiet - no generation. Staff got excited if an unit was going to run....and there was big money to be made for keeping an unit on standby. I already had a small portfolio in an ISA, mainly household names/safe.stocks and used to read the Interactive Investor boards regularly (I think I may recognise a few of the monikers on this LSE board) . I read an article about ITM in one of the Engineering magazines at the station shortly before I took redundancy (25% of the workforce went). My firstt AIM punt was IGAS. £500 investment now worth about £10!. Got a couple of others worth diddly too. I just had a gut feeling about ITM, and invested a chunk of redundancy money. Can't remember if it was all at once, but I invested £10k averaging 40p a share. Now, as a carer for my Mum (with Parkinsons) and a small business owner (currently closed due to lockdown), I am lucky to earn that much in a year! I have sold some.of my original holding, with some going into other hydrogen stocks and other tech stocks that have had a battering recently. Covid hasn't helped my "safe" stocks either, but my ISA is still in good shape - around ten years old I think.
Those long term holders that say don't worry when it drops have so far been right, but you have to trust your instincts and do your own research (DYOR).
Good luck!

Same here I think, but only just. That and Tiraputi Graphene. I daren't look at the rest of my portfolio after the last few days of falls! Think I will take some gardening leave from when the sun breaks out on Thursday, maybe until budget day.

Well my whole portfolio seems to have taken a battering today albeit one or two shares. Still holding all as I think they are good investments, and thankfully most of my recent AIM selections have been through earlier profits taken on my original ITM holding. Hopefully won't have to wait years to recover!
With sunny weather forecast for the next week or so here in North Wales, perhaps it's a good time to take a break from looking at my shares and getting depressed. Get outside in the garden instead - at least until Budget day.
No more cash to buy on the dips!
Here's hoping for good news around the corner.

SueJ , I hope you are right! Whilst I bought most of my holdogs at under 40p, I have had to keep back a tide of tears over todays fall especially after seeing the highs of £7 and keeping most of my holdings. Ah well, paper losses and all that. Taking solace in my other shares, be they safe or risky doesn't seem to be helping as most seem to be down!

Is that for Breakfast Peoplepower1?
I'm very partial to their milk chocolate with sea salt caramel pieces. Hard to stop at four squares though.

Some good news, just what some of the newbies and long term holders with doubt starting to creep in needed. Hopefully we'll see a steady rise from next week.

Chippyjo - did you read about Bitcoin's footprint?
Madness!

Missed this yesterday.

Bilboburger, ISPY for me too - just a small buy as ISA maxed out. Have you bought into HTWG too? I have a few hydrogen stocks already (all down this week!), so I'll keep in my watch list for now. Also wondering about TRIG as it has a good divi. GLUG caught my eye as I thought it might be booze related!
