Thanks for that. I was also worried about TP and bonus but held my nose.
I haven't done too badly but my all time star is GGP which today is at 19p and I bought a lot for me at 2p.
It has rescued some other bad ones.
Take care and stay safe

Amen to that. Thanks to all of them that posted real information that kept me in from just under 2p.
Might have a shandy tonight.

This is also worth a read from the Guardian
Don't jump to conclusions about the Oxford vaccine trial suspension

I bought at 762 so if I get my £1 I will sell those and hold the core. Much the same plan as yours.
Yes it was nice to read a non hysterical piece. Hopefully there will be more over the weekend which will give the sp a further boost.

Positive story in the media (or at least the Guardian) today which is presumably why this is holding firm. Could see the rise we need to get back to a couple of days ago next week I reckon if more reassuring noises are made.

Strictly
Do you follow BKG (my biggest house builder) and if so where do you rate them on your scale?
Cheers
K

This could be back to where it was soon so I will probably take my £1 a share in that case as I never seem to come out on the right side of decisions around interims and quarterlies. I put it in my ISA so no tax on it

BKG fallen by £3 in the last few days. If only I had the nerve (and ability) to trade them. I don't have historical records as long as SB but I have had BKG since 2013 when it was about £20 and so it has more than doubled with significant dividends as well so I am more than happy with it. £1.07 about to be paid next week for example.
I foolishly bought GT for the dividend but then it all went t*** up and so I am stuck with them and Vistry until they pick up at least a bit.

Blimey.
We may have done something right for once. Not selling yet.

Looks as if we three are well in to OXB boat then. Anyone good at sailing or baling?

Followed your example and bought 650 to trade not to hold long term.
Watch it drop like a stone now!

This surely needs a RNS pronto to give the full facts.
I might get my 750 yet though I am not confident that this will bounce quickly as OXB has an awful lot of eggs in this particular basket and I did muse a few days ago what would happen if the vaccine was not a success with all the manufacturing upgrades undertaken to make it.
Not good news on all fronts; for the individuals involved; for the wider public awaiting a vaccine and last us long term OXB people.

Thanks for the thoughtful and interesting reply.
The short answer is no I wouldn't buy them now. My main house builder is BKG though it swings a lot and at £44 and up you need to buy a lot to make anything much on those. Pays a handsome dividend though.
Yes I am in the next county but just over the bridge.
I wouldn't have bought Vistry either!
Good luck and stay safe

The market seems to agree with you rather than the more positive line though I didn't expect this fall on these numbers; in fact I was quite cheered when I read them. I am in here accidentally as I had and still have Galliford Try who sold Linden to Bovis and am way under water at about one third of my entry price. Long way to go I think.

Good job you said "reasonably". Still the same old volatility.
Hopefully the 17th will cure that as well. Bit worried if the AZ vaccine doesn't work and we have all this capacity and nothing to put in it

The 10% spread plus dealing costs might put some off

My average after the last consolidation was £4.90 so I have taken the plunge and bought more last week to bring it down to 55p which it seems might be reachable. This is a defensive move to "save" my earlier investment so if it reaches anywhere around there I will be gone.
GLALTH and fingers and everything else crossed. Have an optimistic weekend

Seaking
Certainly has. You have the touch!

Mouse
Glad you made the profit. I am holding until the next set of results due withing a few weeks as that should send the sp one way or another.
Good luck with your investments. We all (if we are sensible) only invest what we can afford to lose.
Have a look at VAL but that is NOT a recommendation.

Holding for the moment. Will be surprised if I ever see my £7.50 again but not unhappy about that. Need to set some new trading boundaries.
