The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
I’m thinking end of this week at the earliest for the report. You are right, will be good to see sales and current cash. Suspect former will be higher than we’d like and latter lower than we’d like. The profit or loss figure will be all about the CDT price on the day ( presumably they use the 31 March price?).
TSP had some complex governance issues. The chair, who invested significantly seems to have sorted things out now. Neat technology. I made some money on it a few weeks back. I’d say a 60 or 70% chance of being very good. It’s highly disruptive tech.
Both having a good day thus far. The portfolio now includes 75% good or recovering shares. The wild cards remain though. CDT hanging in there just shy of $3, still awaiting Aeristech strategy, and the Mode/R8 flotation is a few more weeks away. Quarterly return soon and hopefully global markets are entering several years of growth. Big question on the next investment remains.
Sensible post thanks.
Can I also make a friendly request for people not to quote from Mr Bloggs as I’ve filtered him and it has improved all my boards immensely. 😝
Thank you. JB7 filtered, what a relief. Just need to do same on other sites he haunts.
Some good early buys today.
Re the CDT chat, their quarterly is not great at all, but you’ll see similar going concern wording in all the previous docs too. Nothing new. Only new ‘bad’ news is the apparent paucity of new news.
Disappointed with the lack of activity and price movement today. There are increasingly some good signs, but the high dependency we now have on CDT ( which will be a godsend when CDT soars higher than $5 and beyond) is currently dragging us down as it circles three and then dips below. People are finding good investment odds elsewhere and the higher volumes on CDT suggest boredom sales aplenty. Scratching my head but remaining patient.
Rhubarb. Just an investor looking for speedy return elsewhere. Just a few grand, hardly a ‘dump’! There won’t be a placing anytime soon and if there was then just buy some more! The last equity created to pay one specific bill was priced at 0.017. So relax.
As long as it creates some interest I’m comfortable waiting for the clarification in due course ( which usually means sometime in the next 18 months for CIZ😝).
Happy to keep buying.
The last notification in Feb 23 was for him, this is for the Lang family. It may be they have re jigged their investments or combined them, but technically they have not held before possibly the reason for the blank ‘previous position’ box. Either way, good show of confidence.
Think you should try the casino Joe it will be more thrilling for you.
Can hear it now “ useless roulette wheel, useless blackjack, useless poker” “ rippling more money from me to pay the croupier”.
Take a break from shares maybe? IMHO
A nice late buy for someone at the bargain price of 0.012. The NAV is ahead of 0.03 and with literally ANY neutral or marginally good news from CDT it is even higher, or with any very good news from one of the small holdings. Vela remains IMHO a good, very low overhead, diversified investment for those interested in tech disruptor, British invention or life science. DYOR.
Yes the website, the lack of news and the SP are endlessly frustrating.
The price is at 52 week low and quite unlikely to go much lower.
The salary bill is minuscule and is easily covered with occasional small sales from the recovering and slowly improving holdings. Some of the holdings pay dividends to Vela and this is a source of income towards running costs.
A placing is unlikely to happen to pay the CEOs salary or the part time chairpersons fees… That would be a bit silly.
Do cheer up. It is only money after all.
