The discount and fees are irelevant if this good performance continues- a lot if ITs have always traded at a discount and probably always will.

45% 1 year

56% 3 years

218% 5 years

Ohh come on John.

You cannot use the words "SP Falling" you will get lambasted.

Let's try-

Taking a rest

Pausing for breath

Filling the gap

Getting ready to rocket

Dropping the kids off at the pool.

I was adding back in 2021 when the SP was between £5-£8.50..... sitting at -58%, definitely a long term hold!

Good luck if you take Malcy's predictions as gospel - you will very quickly be relieved of your money

And your pies.

It will rise it you continue to rub the little thing....

Once 1p is broken we will see more investors who are not allow to buy shares worth under 1p.

Jeezus!

Stop it man, you will go blind.

Yeah,

I think one of the directors wives spent the "winnings" on a new orangery- once her kitchen was completed.....

Questions abound as Elliott takes 5% stake in Scottish Mortgage

Arrival of activist US hedge fund on the register of the Baillie Gifford global flagship revives memories of Elliott's successful campaign against Alliance Trust a decade ago.

Elliott Associates, the much feared and respected US activist hedge fund, has emerged with a 5% stake in Scottish Mortgage Trust (SMT).

In a post-market disclosure to the stock exchange, the Delaware-based investment firm revealed it had bought nearly 0.5% of the Baillie Gifford flagship’s shares with a further 4.57% in equity swaps to take it just over the 5% threshold.

Founded in 1977 by Paul Singer, Elliott is best known for buying distressed emerging market bonds and pursuing Peru and Argentina through international courts when they defaulted on their debts. Closer in time and space, last month it made a takeover approach to electrical retailer Currys (CURY)

In the UK investment company market, the firm is fondly remembered, by most, for its campaign against Alliance Trust (ATST). After building up a 14% stake in the underperforming global equities fund, it obtained two seats on the board in 2015 before ousting chief executive Katherine Garrett-Cox and starting a process that saw her financial services empire dismantled and the company’s adoption of the multi-manager structure under Willis Towers Watson we know today.

IGC down 17% in a week, bit of a tumble....

No one is willing to explain why 99% of posters here are negative and basically trash talk.

I'll explain it for you-

Some of us learn from our mistakes.

It is welcome- Now, I am only 50% down....

In4,

It has been public knowledge for years - it was highlighted on the old BPC facebook group ages ago... Infact, one of the posters on here bumped into Uliel whilst he was on safari in Africa (pre Perseverance)

eytan is a busy man....jeezus, what a ******!

I was hoping for 0.3p so I could sell up and escape this sh*t show. Looking unlikely atm.....

I was hoping for 2.7p so I could sell up and escape this sh*t show. Looking highly unlikely atm.............

Lots of ITs are doing the same- they see the discount as an opportuniy to buy "cheap"

The hope is it narrows the discount...although it rarely seems to work if the Market is not extremely positive.
