Very interesting posts over the last 12 hrs, I am afraid I don't agree with you Kall.
I think we have more cases in the last week or so because we are high testing in certain areas and many of the new cases are in people that so far for whatever reason haven't had the vaccine, and this will all settle down very soon.
As for holidays in the EU we all know they still want to punish britain but now they just want our money and we should all stay at home and bring our local business es back to health first.The EU are fine until they want something.

As they should have sold more food for home eating
The reopening of indoor bars and restaurants last month failed to boost footfall on UK High Streets and shopping centres following May's record rainfall, according to new data.
Analysis by Springboard shows footfall was 27.5% lower compared to pre-pandemic May 2019.
The hospitality industry in England reopened indoors on 17 May.

But while footfall improved from April, activity was "muted" due to the weather and a limit on dining numbers.

At present, only groups of up to six people or a larger gathering of two households are allowed inside hospitality venues. And those serving alcohol must provide table service only.

Yes I know paddy, we have all done it your down what say £1k and you sell but sod's law kicks in and you could of held but if we all knew where any sp is going to end at up or down there wouldn't be a problem. We also all know that you buy and sell sometimes a few times in the week to make a quick £300-£500 each time on some then to lose about £1k that goes down twice as fast.
It's only a loss when you sell but if I knew this was going to £1.20 I would sell but you have brokers with £1.90 in the next 6 -9 months and maybe a divi again. heads or tails.!!!!

This SP got moving up to 75p, debt has now been reduced to £0.5bn instead of what about £3bn New employment deals have been done to reduce more overheads and we are selling more asstes.
Some brokers have higher price targets of 75p ish and when the results come out I am expecting even better news. so come sp get up there to 75p I like many others are sick of waiting.

Sometimes we all try day / week trading to make a few quick bucks and as we all know it's always a gamble on the stocks you pick regardless of any research.
Sometimes the biggest problem is fear and although the sp sometimes goes down when we have bought , if the money is not urgent then it's far better to just sit tight and NOT sell just because the sp has gone down 10%-20% if it's a company like GNC.
We all know that this time next year or even 6 months the company will be back and probably doing better than before.
Fear is a funny thing as it wants you to sell and lose some money hoping to buy something else to make that money back but often the next share you buy also goes down. Life's a big gamble but sometimes it's better to forget about your problems and enjoy the summer while it lasts.

Nett debt down to £332m 1.9x pension surplus £539m
Branded revenue* up +13.6% in full year and ahead +7.0% in Q4

Well that is a problem,you sayyou want to invest £60k but don't need it for 10 years, first I would say many including myself have tried to invest in something and forget about it for years only to find out something bad has happened to the company and your shares have gone by half.
I am not saying it will because it could also go up by half but I have been doing this for some 40 years and one thing is for sure no matter how good the company is when you invest things chang, so I would say pick perhaps 4-6 good companies and watch them every few weeks months because you can then sell if thing turn for the worst and you wont lose everything. Do your research and make your own mind up that way you won't be able to blame anyone but yourself if things bad south. good luck.

We all knew this was going to happen and once things open up gnc position will change.
But brokers Still have these as hold
PEEL HUNT RAISES GREENCORE TO 'HOLD' ('REDUCE')
JEFFERIES CUTS GREENCORE TO 'HOLD' ('BUY')

For the last 10 years or so many companies have been happy to buy many of pfd branded products like Sarsons, Branston Gales honey etc etc but no one as yet have wanted to buy the whole of pfd because of debt.
It does appear that there is always someone out there looking to grow their company buy buying up others, now if that is the case pfd in it's current position must be a target at a price of say £1.40- £1.50 before they get big and the price moves up to say £2.00 but maybe it doesn't matter about price you pay as long as it's seen to be a good long term buy and the money needed is at very low rates / cost. Who knows next weeks offer of £1.45 might be worth looking at.!!!!!!!!!

Top British stocks for June
We asked our freelance writers to share the top British stocks they’d buy this June. Here’s what they chose:
________________________________________
Alan Oscroft: Greencore

My pick is Greencore (LSE: GNC), the food-to-go specialist, whose share price plunged on interim results day. The company reported a £7.9m pre-tax loss for the first half, in a business still devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The market hated it.

5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!

According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…

And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential...

But Greencore expects to turn things round by the end of the year, and the liquidity is there. If the company can get back to 2019 earnings levels, we’d be looking at a P/E of around nine. I think that’s cheap. I rate Greencore a buy, and I’ve added it to my ISA shortlist.

I’ll tell you what winds me up is all these scientists and all their different views.
OK we have a body of scientists that advice the government (sage) which is what about a dozen guys / girls , but why do the media insist on finding about another dozen to put on air to give the opposite views. It just confuses everyone.

Either we have a panel of scientists that advice or we don’t.
If these scientists had their way they would shut everything down for months to clear up the covid but that wouldn’t help any jobs. The government make the final plan so let’s just keep to it.

No Money, it's been a month now when eneo said they would pay but haven't. WHY ????????

It's been a very bad time for all but now we are at the turning point we should let it run and work with the results.
I know it's a free world so to speak but I do think we should make all hospital / carehome staff be vaccinated or lose their jobs.
You have to ask yourself just how much quiker could we have got this covid under more control if it wasn't for all those staff members who just would not have the vacine and instead carry on passing on the covid. It's funny that even now many of those in hospital are the ones that haven't had 1 or 2 jabs. sometimes in life the powers that be need to more forceful.

Going by all the latest info / news on insurance I think saga like all others are about to be hit with LESS money coming in.
Hasn't everyone now agreed that Insurance companies / brokers must stop the bad Discount or reduced prices for new customer only policy that's been going on for the last 10 years or so, all being funded by over charging current long term loyal customers.
Now does that mean that insurance companies will get out of this by putting all policies go up or does it mean that loyal customers will now get a better price.?

So we could see the sp going up to £1.12 on tuesday just on speculation of a bid, or we could see a real bid of £1.30 - £1.50 within the next few weeks. Who knows !!!!!!!

When you look at the sells vs buys, almost 2 1/2 times more were bought than sold so it wasn't profit taking.It's not been any big broker price target drop that we have seen.
This has happened before a few times and it's been when some of the brokers need to get hold of stock for someone so they drop the price accordingly. I think we will see this back up to £1.10 + next week and may see a holdings rns.

Have great weekend

sod it I spoke too soon , I can live with the odd o.5p .

I don't know but couldn't resist it so topped up with another 10,000, just hope it doesn't go down any more.
