I piled all my money in RR three years back - to the point that I had to go get a real job for one day a week just to keep the lights on (Guess you'd say that I'm semi retired).
Well; I sat at work all day yesterday with a huge grin on my face - knowing that in one day I'd earned more then the CEO LOL
Wonderful times,,, and the cherry in the cake - The suns out !
Over the last 18 months, many-a-good company share price has taken a knock after posting good results. RR is in great shape (Im guessing) , with a good business ,,,,, but it too might drop. --just warning so that we have no 'tears from the north' ;o)
I've just looked at the 'Historic chart' tab and set it to show approx 12 months data Dec23 - until now ,,,,,,, wow RR is doing splendidly ;o) Just saying
.. in fact I'd like to go further and remind people of how hideous it was 5 years ago - not knowing if you were to have a job from one day to the next, RR staff must have been as worried as us all. I hope Ar5nail does show up and can provide an address of were to send a thank you note (and cheque) to fund a staff well-fare fund(even if its just for tea + biscuits at break time). Sounds all a bit emotional, I know , but engineers rarely get 'full appreciation for work done'
Written in a warm friendly tone - I thought JJT/Nettles were as mad as hatters. But I always liked their/his enthusiasm and personally think his evaluation is pretty damn impressive , given how long ago the prediction was made and the fact that £3.50 was approx Equivalent all time high. Personally I sold a small chunk at £4+ just to diversify a little. But glad I held the rest. On-wards and up-wards. Congrats to JTT for his prediction.
Ret_Plan 'I should have / could have / would have - switched to IAG last year :)'..
Just seen your post on BP too. Think its a sensible move. I diversified from RR last year too. Still got a good chunk in them - but I wanted to spread the risk a little :)
