Hopeful - it just seems a tad more likely- it would be such a coup for Boris and guarantee election support/success. I imagine that it would carry the day for a General Election. Eire are not dismissing which is helpful. Above 200 in the morning?

It could be as simple as that. If no more live ammo hits any of the protesters then it could bounce and then continue rising IMO
Good Luck All

I am in the Chilterns. Cycle everywhere, sometimes use the train. No car effectively for the last 12 years, although have been known to hire. The parcel of land is not big enough. All the best. Pursue your dream. Lets hope we are not going to see another recession. GLA

As a late comer to this share, and having panicked, sold and then got back in I will see tiny profit at 280. GLA
Still amazed at the rise today, thanks to those who had belief and were able to in effect persuade me to stay with it.

Is that a time or price!!

Wait Boris is causing us a problem along with China threats which add more instability. GLA

Lewis to head Metro

You offer very sage advice although I suspect the majority on here do not want to consider it and certainly won't heed it. Thanks

Yes I have a bit of land that could be turned into a couple of allotments but it needs rabbit and deer proofing, do you want to go into business together. Lets give up on the stock market. No drug dealers in the village yet nor do we have a laundrette.

colti there is little good news around a further bigger drop looks on the cards. It could be time for us to all review what is going to happen next. Boris' plans for brexit don't have many fans, Hong Kong adds different concerns. GLA

That is over 1% of total shares of the bus. this is good reason to have renewed belief.
Get in quick in the morning for a bigger spike than normal. We will see.

Colti we might see 204 today, just to annoy you a little bit. I'm impressed that you dealt in what to be seems a very narrow range, good luck. If you have not looked you should see the Metro Bank chat, it comes thick and fast. GL

What are we calling large buys? There are 172m shares available, hence for me a large buy would have to be a very minimum of 1,000,000 shares. I cannot see anything approaching that, please educate me. GLA

Mark@1973, when you see swings in one day, holding long term does bring with it concerns. However being a trader allows you to see the ebb and flow, gives a different perspective. Two accounts and holding Metro in both makes sense to me. I've got a lot to learn. GL

I am becoming both long termer and day trader, at least in outlook. Already this morning you could have bought in around 190 and sold above 200, why not do it. Metro is volatile which creates this opportunity. Why not DYOR ?

Colti you could have a wait to get back in with a few more shares. Then again you might find Boris' words create the temporary drop you need, and later today. If it were to drop to 190 then I would add, but at present I'm looking to diversify.

He has 10 times more invested in that one share but that's all he has, but the other guy has millions invested and owns 10 properties spread worldwide has cash ready to invest of £2m.
Good night, and good luck again

I am not saying it is failsafe.
However if you invest in shares you know there are risks.
Now the guy with 5000 at average of £1.60 is able to sell at £2.40 and gets £12000, for a £4000 profit, whereas the guy with 50,000 at £2.50 might wait a lot longer. Of course there is no worthy answer to your question but if the larger investor has an average of £2.50 he can afford to sell some at £2.40 as well. To him I might want to ask is it time to diversify, and a few other questions. In the morning I shall be looking for another spike, to sell and buy later. Its always good to take profits. If having sold half my holding I don't get back in then that's not a problem. Good luck HH, and thank you for your question because it has got me thinking.

I have bought RBS, PRU, in the last week and bought Metro twice, selling once. At no time was NT an issue because I was buying/selling on the phone through my NatWest ISA. Good luck, I'm probably old enough to be your grand-dad and even though I don't know you I care. I lost a shed load of money by not dealing and waiting for RBS to come good. It pays to be wary and take decisions, hedge your bets.

You cannot be bothered to take 5% more shares, really. Lets say someone has 2000 shares. Sells a 1000 at 215 so gets 2150 less dealing costs( ignored); the price drops as today and you buy at 200 you get 1075 shares. Now next time it rises to 215, sell 1075 shares gives you 2311, drops to 200 and now you buy 1155 shares. And you have 15% more shares. And I know I have ignored dealing costs but you really want to look at this.
