@firepower1 You are starting to sound rather desperate old chap. You have predicted Mobico will tumble to 10p. Have you opened your short position on Mobico at 9p yet? Didn't think so. Lol

@MIDS1 When you recieve your cash payment from Sidara - you will be spoilt for investment opportunities galore!

Still waiting for Graff to reveal who the secret bidder for Wood is...Graff says its not over until the cash is in the bank! Graff where oh where are your secret bidders that you banged on about for months on end...oh that's right...you made it all up!!! Lol

Ouch! Just checked in on the YouGov share price - the market has dumped the stock big time! Obviously the results underwhelmed the market. Glad I sold out AM 2 March. I thought the low would be £1.80, down to £1.70 worst case due to teh US-Iran war primarily. It is currently down to circa £1.52. This is over-sold, however, I will remain on the sidelines for now in case events turn for the worse. To those who have remained invested in YouGov since 2 March and experienced the fall from £2.05 on 2 March to circa £1.54 at least you can top up and average down. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that. GLA

Good Half Year results. Revenue up 2% and Statutory Operating Profit up 14% - shows focus on revenues and margin despite macro events. Cash in bank £33M. Good leadership team in place. Share buyback to be announced. Future looks positive. IMO & DYOR

Sidara payment to be made for all of Wood on Tuesday 24 March. Expect funds in your account 2-3business days later i.e. Thursday 26 or Friday 27 March. After that hold on to your cash until the US-Iran war has played out. Cash is King during uncertain times. IMO & GLA

@firepower1 'I say this never gets out of the teens , and share price will eventually go under 10p. How many clown's on here willing to bet against that.'

I'll take that bet - there is no way that Mobico will drop to 10p. You just made it up.

When the US-Iran war is over, Mobcio's share price will surge probably by circa 10p, to circa 30p. IMO

If you are so confident Mobico will drop to 10p, why don't you short it until it 'goes under 10p'. Put your money where your mouth is.

@Scavenger You can let your friend know that I have indeed bought a few Mobico shares at these stupid lows...it would be rude not to. You can also tell your friend that I have plenty of cash ready to invest, when the time is right!

I would have a better chance at a sucessful Class Action against Graff than Wood Plc. Best to forget about it and move on.

As for Graff, I have not been paid out yet by Sidara, does that mean I still have a chance of 60-99p as you promised from your secret sauces who knew all about several buyers leaping all over each other and chomping at the bit to buy Wood?!

Graff, Graff...

Swiiissshhh...the sound of tumble-weed gently rolling down the street...

As everyone here now knows, Graff made it all up! Lol

@Datron. I am not 'bragging'. I sold out - big deal. I was ridiculed for it. At least I owned it. Some 'investors' sell out to pay for their kids Christmas pressies, or to buy their wife a new necklace, or to pay down debt...big deal. Everyone has their own reasons to as to when or why to sell out. I note that without exception all stocks I sold out of on AM 2 March have dropped to date...some more than YouGov's 10% drop. EG Mobico dropped from 30p to 19p today - you can work out the percentage drop. Of course, Mobico is a bargain to be had in due course, which could be days-weeks away.

I invest to make money, not to stay invested in the full knowledge that the stock will fall in value due to the US-Iran war and all the uncertainties around that. As I say, when the US or UK is at war: cash is king.

In the meantime, I await the YouGov results on Tuesday. If favourable, the results will support/increase the share price from its current lows. The last time YouGov's share price was this low was 10 years ago...July 2016! Every stock hits its low sooner or later.

Airline stocks like IAG and Easyjet on the rebound after yesterday's drop. Mobico ought to follow suit. Mobico dropped yesterday too to 19p, which is far too cheap for Mobico IMO.

@Icarus42 I was bullish...until the US-Iran war kicked off on 2 MArch. I sold due to the US-Iran war. End of story. I made that clear at the time when I posted I had sold out of YouGov and most of my other investments. I have repeated the same story many times and have been ridiculed for it. My story has never changed. My view of YouGov as a turnaround has not changed. Therefore, I believe my posts were balanced. I am not so attached to any of my investments that I do not sell when it makes sense to do so. During war it makes sense to some investors (myself included obviously) to cash out and wait on the sidelines for a bargain or two. Other investors have their head in the sand and believe there are fairies at the bottom of their garden. Each to theor own. YouGov's revival now depends on favourable results announced on Tuesday. That could go either way. Hence, my cash will remain locked away...until the unknown becomes the known.

If YouGov's results on Tuesday are positive, then YouGov's share price ought to climb pretty rapidly from these lows...war or no war. IMO

@papduke Cheer up - it's not all bad. When connectivity is completed, Zephyr's share price will rocket. You know that. Patience my friend, patience.

As I mentioned previously, JD Sports' share price slumped to 63p in early April 2025. No reason not to think it will slump to circa 65p before the inevitable upwards swing sooner or later. I will remain on the sidelines for now. Good luck to those who remain invested though.

@AimMaster I am not sure why you are posting about YouGov on this discussion board. Especially when you are incorrect...nice try though. Lol

The fact is I sold out of YouGov at £2.09 on 2 March when it was clear the US-Iran war was about to kick off and banked a small profit, and I posted the same on 2 March and was salted for it by almost all on the YouGov discussion board. Since 2 MArch, YouGov's share price has tumbled to £1.78 as of now (I predicted it would fall to £1.80).

FYI I also sold out of almost all my stocks AM 2 March...even Prudential Plc! I have only remianed invested in certain areas (gold, oil, defence etc). It's all there in my posts. I have not reinvested in YouGov and nor will I until the results are known on Tuesday next week. The results would have to be stellar to entice an investment from yours truely at this point in time.

Not sure why you are on the Mobico discussion board - you have never invested or shorted it. You are a stalker plain and simple. Time you stopped your obsession with JO and went back to your Capita discussion board.

Don't worry about me, I have done perfectly well with my investments without your 'wisdom' imho

@AimMaster I have only invested a small stake in Mobico at 19p. But, hey thanks for 'caring'. Lol

In times of war (especially those that include the US and UK), only 2 rules apply: Rule 1 Cash is king. Rule 2 Never forget rule 2. There endith the lesson.

Aimless, why don't you short Mobico? I double-dare you. Go on throw a fre of your hard earned pennies at it. Put your money where your mouth is. Lol

As the US-Iran war escalated into 'stupid', so the stock market continues to fall. Glad I sold out at £2.09 on 2 March when the war started to kick off. Now it looks like my prediction of YouGov at £1.80 has come to pass. YouGov is now circa £1.78.

YouGov now needs to produce favourable results on Tuesday next week to support its share price.

All those on this YouGov discussion board who rubbished my decision to sell out of YouGov as per my brief post on 2 March, and instead said YouGov would not be affected by the US-Iran war are now strangely silent. The truth hurts. Smart investors heeded my post and sold out fast.

In times of war cash is always king.

@Robert1234 I will recieve funds 2 business days after my broker is paid i.e. on or before Thursday 26 March.

YouGov has dropped to £1.83 as of COB today...very close to my prediction of £1.80. The tipping point will be the results on Tuesday. Either it will climb to £1.90 or higher...or slump to £1.70. It all depends on the results and the outlook naturally.

@AimMaster2018 ' Im sure iv read somewhere never to invest during periods of war 😆 imho'

Oh, so you do heed my advice after all. Lol

The fact is if a few stocks are at record lows then it makes sense to invest at those lows. Don't forget that as investors, we are all here to make as much money as possible, so I bought some Mobico shares when it hit 19p. When I said Prudential Plc had hit its low of £6.00 you were adament it will sink lower. You were wrong then too...and you never invested in it. Big mistake, huge AImLess. Lol

In the meantime, I remain cashed up, ready to pounce when the US-Iran war ends.
