I've been holding for 12 years, when it was 7.25p.

I don't think I'll live long enough to see a decent return.

Does anyone actually take any notice of broker recommendations?

Citigroup cuts SSE to 'sell' (neutral) - price target 1,997 (1,731) pence

JPMorgan raises SSE price target to 2,600 (2,425) pence - 'overweight'

Sold about 15% of my holding (takes it back to a nice round number of shares) @ 2205p.

Here's £20 again but now I think they're on a roll and may go higher.

I bought this as a recovery play on the last drop.

That's gone spectacularly wrong.

Think I'll take the hit as I can't see much reason to hold now.

I wonder which company this is.

Depends what the US inflation rate is over the next few years...

Maybe UKOG won't need a pipeline.

It could be like the good old UKOG days of hiding in hedgerows counting tankers.

This in an old article but still the best explanation I've seen for how buying and selling works.

I was in the Greggs in Union Square Aberdeen again on Saturday morning while waiting for a bus.

Greggs is right between a Burger King and a Muffin Break.

BK near empty, MB about 10 customers. Greggs was queued right out the door all tables taken, I counted about 40 and constantly turning over.

Greggs certainly smashing the breakfast market there.

I'm surprised the YPF case doesn't get mentioned in news stories on Argentina.

Do I get 2 badges, one for holding and one for trading :)

Sold my trading tranche @ 627.555p

I hesitated first thing and thought I'd missed out. Not sure where the bottom is now.

Greggs expanding into Highlands.

Was 570.00/574.00 when I bought.

Someone just after me grabbed 3000 @ 574p.

Didn't buy as much as that, only 865.

Back in at 573.9p

"4x more buys than sells and Mm's not letting this go.."

You can't rely on those buy/sell vols.

There's 100,000,000 of late reported sells from 23rd today.

Or they could be PH buying cheap to drip back to the market at a profit.

I've held these so long I just can't bring myself to sell some.

I'm holding out for £20 this time. Maybe.

Just my luck if do sell and they then rocket past £20.
