Free trade were having issues in last hour of the day. Maybe UK wide problems?

Little disappointing this didn't power up and stay there but at least it finished the week nicely. See you all next week people!

What does that mean?

Well toto was invested in Williams at one point so it is not uncommon for him to invest for financial oro ther reasons other than be wise he will be moving to that team.

I think it gives great xonfidence to it as he isn't in it to lose 37m!

US unemployment way better than expect. Hopefully everything will surge this afternoon.

I built my first portfolio with fool recommendations and did well and still sometimes choose their picks after researching. They put me on to greatland gold beginning of the year so can't complain. Discretion needed though and to evaluate what type of investor the writers are - some will only ever recommend FTSE 100 shares and everything else is don't touch with a bargepole to them.

Well one says buy and one says don't buy. Guessing that means I take half a position?!

Mmmmm lovely big drop there

Depends on your account. If you have low or no dealing fees you can spread several buys across the day. If you buy and it goes down a few percent today it'll be up in the future anyway and a few percent won't make much difference.

Doesn't matter the size of the win - it is all relative to your situation. Also doesn't matter if some take profits and some don't. Everyone has their own situation and strategy. Well done on making some decent money this week.

I hope it is a green day but I have a feeling people will wait until after the weekend now and tomorrow some bargains could be had for a rise Monday/Tuesday. Just my thoughts but hope to be wrong and see a green day across the board tomorrow.

Missed the boat depends on your definition of a good return and the amount you are putting into it. If you expect to become a millionaire off of say £1000 then yes you've probably missed it [though I could be completely wrong!]. If you are looking for sizeable returns over the coming year or two with a modest holding then no you probably haven't missed anything.

I am not going to tell you what to do with your money but Covid stocks are risky, especially if that is all that has driven the share price and they have nothing else of note outside of covid but if something works it will rocket. If it looks like it is going to get beaten or be un-needed or doesn't work at all then it will plummet probably as fast as it rose. GGP will still have risks but they are a lot less for decent returns IMO.

End of the day your money your choice to do research and decide but no I don't think you've missed the boat on GGP for decent returns.

Guessing everyone was stuck at 9:45am?

Not all Ceres investors have waited since 2004. I have made decent money off it several times since the beginning of the year. AFC is new to me but I can see it taking off in the coming weeks so I took the plunge a few days ago to invest here as well and plan to hold for many years. Disappointing the early share rise didn't hold but I don't think it will be long until it reaches it again.

Not necessarily. It might be a different writer recommending it this time. I find them good for a lot of things but the free stuff can be confusing with so many writers offering differing opinions.

Yes I bet the 'smart' people who were sure this and easyJet were going bankrupt so shorted them have needed a lot of new undies these past weeks.

Everything is going down at the moment...

Shame I didn't buy when it was briefly sub 60p this morning. That would have been a nice 13% gain for doing not a lot! I will top up if it goes a bit lower in the afternoon or at close. Either way long term this is only going up.

Well that caused the ftse to rocket!

Oh there will be one sooner rather than later. I believe Toto said as much a couple of months ago in interviews.

However, let us remember this, also from Toto, in a recent interview:

"Wolff was clear about the purchase of the shares of Aston Martin. "I have indeed bought a number of shares of Aston Martin as an investment, because I believe in the company and in their current strategy. There is a very strong group of shareholders who are all behind the company and who will not let it fall quickly. That's why I decided to join them""

https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/60522/wolff-i-ve-invested-in-aston-martin-but-remain-team-boss-of-mercedes-.html

That is why I also bought in. No short term in and out for me long term hold.

Don't think anything is stopping this getting back in to the 50s today. Hope I'm wrong.
