Chris Heminway, Exec-Chair at Time To ACT, explains why now is the right time for the Group to IPO. Watch the video here.
I'm gonna say it ... we're all hoping for a long overdue wedge from our portfolios, Dubjon
Down 6%. Can modify that saying to "Check your shares in May and see your hair turn grey."
A Little Blue again youtu.be/GxXSUyc3BAU
We're a little blue (up) at the moment (at the risk of channelling Eiffel 65)
Bennster, I've no idea other than to commiserate. I've had these shares for about 20 years, sold some last year but not as many as I should seeing as the price is now about GBP1 less than it was when I sold. I might've bought back in, I might not, but it'd been nice to have the option and spend the money as I ain't a spring chicken.
OBC -22p/25p
Honey, I shrank the money!
:-(
Argo down 17pc, I suppose that's not helping.
At least AFN is up (15%).
Least said, soonest mended?
I won't have to fight for empty aluminium cans to sell to the scrapyard no more?
(I was watching AFN this morning (I hold a little) and saw no movement and no trades. I should've jumped in for more, but sadly the tea leaves did not tell me that.
Was I hallucinating or did I see a 50k (volume) buy yesterday? "fess up, who was it? :-)
Best of luck, Bennster.
MrDribbles, are you going in now? ;-)
I can't say I'm topping up, but that's not personal to this share. I'm sitting on my hands at the moment. That said, didn't Buffet table buy HP or something last week? Unless I dreamt it.
I've no idea, Bennster, bearing in mind I saw ARB was even up a tad. There are some buyers now though. In my past experience, occasionally there's a horrid drop before a big rise the next day or soon thereafter and the dropped price is usually not revisited. What causes that I know not, and I also dunno if that will be the case this time. I am pretty much put off my lunch looking at the nearly 17pc drop a moment ago before a recovery (!) to 'just' 14.5pc down. It has been a bit up and down like that all day.
Bennster, I think Delferg has probably had to get the smelling salts out if he saw the share price now. Well, I don't know what to say as it is fluctuating but almost 15pc down as I type at 25-28p. NAV or not, am pretty gutted.
Who's still in? And has Tom W added anything since the last time? If he's added anything, I'd like to know, good or bad. I saw one headline saying crypto down today. I also saw some news about women's groups investing in crypto. I hope that's not another shoe-shine boy moment.
To everyone who posts updates, much appreciated, a click of Recommend is likely insufficient, so -thank you-
Thanks Bennster, and everyone who is LTH trying to fathom this. It's not rising on UMBR going up to record prices afaik, it is in fact falling for whatever reason or just drifting. So, when UMBR goes down, assuming it does if people take profits, what then for OBC? OBC down when UMBR is up, and if and the more of the same when UMBR goes back down significantly...? (Assuming that's not happened today as I haven't checked, in which case I have my answer already.) I may need a chill pill! :-)
Delayed sell order somewhere? Else, why the drop again because it seems mostly buys at the moment. What is spooking the market or market maker(s)? I am guessing it's Ukraine. But even so, another drop today!? Bennster's calcs (thanks Benster) not impressive enough? I suppose investing is to some extent based on trends and fashionable sectors, so is OBC too late to the party? I do hope not. It reminds me of shares I held in successful firms, but nobody gave a stuff and the PE average was less and less over time despite good results. Back in the dotcom boom, biotech and tech PEs went from optimistic to silly to utterly nuts, but some stars emerged and justified their PEs in the end afaik.
I'd have thought if UMBR was up like that and the rest of the OBC caboodle is coming together more and more then we'd be at 80p-120p by now. So either I know even less than nuffin as one may have long suspected ...or the sector is falling out of favour.
Isn't OBC now below the price when it was tipped in November by the same blogger who I think tipped OBC in 2018?
One or two posters at around 50p said they wished they'd bought more at 39p. Well, almost there now and can probably get 39p via a phone cal buy order or good online broker.
I've been holding these for 20 years or thereabouts, my contract note is probably older than some of the posters here. I don't know why the shares spiked up over a quid in Jan and Feb this year, but I'd guess the primary reason they went up in Nov was that tipster or blogger who may or may not prove correct on this 2021 occasion, right? Sad if that's all there is. I'd love to be wrong. Anyone here who bought on that tip and still in?
