@Apendragon I didn't say I was buying either! Lol

And on that note: Just bought £10,000 YouGov 4318 shares at £231.45. It would be rude not to! GLA

Like many others, I sold out at circa £2.64 too good to pass up. Easy profit made in one short week. So plans to hold for 12 months on pause. That said, YouGov is on my radar and it is now circa £2.32...a low entry point. YouGov's revenues up, margins up. Looks good. But like all investments timing is all important..! GLA

@papduke Do us all a favour and sell out of Zephyr! If you are such a 'mastermind' investor, you can take your funds and invest elsewhere and make up any loss in reasonable time. I for one am sick of your rubbish posts and your constant wailing like a child who lost his favourite toy. Grow up, sell out, and move on!

@papaduke You have your finger firmly on the sell trigger button...again! Put yourself out of your own self-inflicted misery and sell out completely.

I would like this Zephyr share price to tank so I can top up. CH is dealing with many balls/ducks in the air and at some point soon the ducks will be lined up in a neat row. I sense proper progression is only the next RNS away. IMO

To change the subject of monn-talk, rocket ships, bar brawls, and the like...

With Trump's talk US vs Iran in the headlines, oil prices will continue to rise. If any other company wants to make a play for Wood and benefit from any Wood oil-related contracts in the near future, such a play needs to happen over the 1-4 weeks. It is unlikely to happen given Wood shareholders have voted in favour of the Wood-Sidara deal, and is pending court approval. However, there is a slim chance another white knight may charge in with a cheeky offer of 40p and match Sidara's cash injection. The changes were probably 1%, however, that was before the tensions increasing between US and Iran. Occasionally world events can influence/change the course of takeovers, which at one time seemd 'in the bag'. We are very near that point now. For the record, I do not think it will happen, but wouldn't it be fab if it did happen?! Stranger things have happened before when it comes to takeovers. Will another buyer turn up over the next 4 weeks, and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?!

@Garone Prudential is the stock that keeps on giving. Remember when I said called the low at £6.00 per share and told you to invest and stick with it...and forget about it...keep it in your bottom draw...? You drifted in and out a few times...but it has doubled with a slow and steady climb to circa £12.00 per share today. Hopefully you are still in?! Riches come to those who invest in decent businesses that are undervalued and crucially...wait. Let time be your friend. A very large paper profit for me, but still more to come with Prudential IMO.

The German deal is transformative to Mobico. If the Mobico share price settles at 26p by close of play today, that will be a nice outcome. As this news is digested by major investors and experienced private investors over the next few days, the Mobico share price will slowly and steadily increase. The share price is obviously still a bargain at this low level. Hopefully many here invested at the now former low of circa 22p. Next stop multi-bagger! GLA

Shorts to scamper over the next few days...those with smarts anyway. Still lots of upside to come in terms of share price gains for patient investors. Turnaround clearly in play for Mobico and its investors who are smart enough to stick around for the ride. GLA

Boom!

Dwam only comments when the JD Sports share price drops, then 'disappears' when the share price rises. Dwam, how about you come back in 12 months time, and see where JD Sports share price is then?! Actually, by then I am 100% sure Dwam would have 'disappeared' permanently!

A nice rise for Mobico today to finish circa 24p. When the RNS is announced (probably in the next 2-4 weeks) that the Germany saga has been signed-off, Mobico's share price will rocket to circa 35-40p. Don't say you weren't warned! As I have said a few times now, Mobico is a clear turnaround...and Mobico's current share price is still cheap as chips, and does not reflect the potential and inevitable upside in any way whatsoever. As an investor, it is easy to watch and wait, however, based on Mobico's own RNS released today, the probablity of a successful outcome is north of 95%. I will take those odds every day of the week, and twice on Sunday. GLA

Although the recent lumpy rises in Zephyr's share price (followed by claw backs) has been somewhat overdue, the fact remains that the current share price is chicken feed. Once connectivity to the main pipeline is completed - not if but when - this share price will rise like a rocket...faster than you can say "Thar's oil in them thar hills, oil I tell ye!".

I posted on 23 January that: 'It would not surprise me if the German PTA negotiations are concluded and agreed in principle by 31 January with signed off early February with the RNS to follow. This RNS will remove alot of doubt in this area of Mobico's operations, and the Mobico share price will jump upwards by 5-10p initially. Further positive updates (under the guise/title of 'Business Update') in the same RNS will mean the initial share price jump stabilises and slowly increases over time as Mobico's management turn Mobico around over the next 12-24 months.'

Today, Mobico released its RNS early, which basically confirms all is on track for a successful outcome. Good news for Mobico investors. A predictable early rise on the RNS, but there is much more to come over the next 12-24 months. Today's RNS and share price rise is chicken feed compared to the next 12-24 months.

A little talk/concern on this Mobico discussin board about Mobico's debt. However, the transportation industry and debt/leases go hand in hand. All par for the course. Mobico has plenty of cash and has the full support of its lenders. Mobico is a clear turnaround in play and will reward patient investors.

GLA

Shorts are fleas on cardigans. Follow the shorts at your peril! I prefer to include in my stock portfolio a few turnaround companies. Mobico is a clear turnaround in play. New management, support of lenders, cost savings management underway, new markets opening up. The next 12-24 months will show the current Mobico share price of circa 20-24p as peanuts and the 'missed opportunity to buy in. Lots of upside here for patient investors who are prepared to invest then wait on sidelines for the Mobico ship/bus to be turned around. The next few RNS will be further evidence that the turnaround is firly in play. GLA

@papaduke You sound like a petulent child. The only person to blame for your investment in Zephyr is you. Not CH. YOU! You stupidly threw all your eggs into one high-risk basket: a small two-bit O&G drilling company no less! Take accountability for your own actions. And grow up!

Another rise to circa £2.59 today. Still far more upside for YouGov. Watch this space in February 2026. #theearlybirdcatchestheworm GLA

Well 1% chance of a bidder is not far off 0%. The real payoff is to have a sizeable holding and an average of 18-22p per share...and wait for the full 30p. Anything less is just noise.

Much as I would like another bidder to enter the fray, Wood themselves have already confirmed they have not spoken to or been approached by any other parties. There has been no updates from Wood or anyone (other than Graff in between his monn-landing posts) to the contrary. The fact remains that no one else is interested in buying Wood. The Wood end game is plain enough: Game, set, match Sidara.

GLA

@Robert1234 'Where is the counter bid?'

Ask Graff - he has some sauces like Mr Ketchup and Mrs Tomatohead who says rival bidders are lining up around the corner chomping at the bit to throw 60-99p per share to buy Wood!

Of course GRaff is also throwing old news about the moon landing consipracy theories on this Wood discussion board in order to deflect away from his 'rival bidders' conspiracy theroy...all of which he made up inside his own head!

Summary: Don't get your hopes up. Your chances of a rival bidder for Wood at this late stage is a mere 1%...and even that is pushing the boat out!

Indeed and a further uplift in YouGov's share price to circa £2.54 today. I expect more increase in share price on Monday-Tuesday next week. Good stock to buy at these prices, hold and then revisit in 12 months and enjoy the capital gains made over that time. I plan to hold for the next 12-24 months.
