BS. Keep wringing your hands till you draw blood. People who think that societies can magically go green overnight such as academics like Klaus Schwab of the World Economic forum infamy promise are clueless, just as Marx was . They just don't understand human nature, or the economy and how it works.

The earth and its atmosphere is far more resilient than you think. As are people. Humans have only been here for a blink of an eye in terms of the earth's existence And human activity is puny compared to the effects of Milky Way, the Sun, etc. The psycho-paths behind this Great Reset aren't doing things because they care for humanity or the earth. This is about control and restricting freedoms. They actually hate people.

The bottom isn't far off. Hydrogen is a non-starter, due to the energy returned on energy invested. EVs are the future trend, but it's just not primetime yet. Hydrocarbons will be with us for this decade anyway, plus they're used in just about everything that you can think of. As for certain commodities, prices will pick up again. The time-frame is uncertain, but I would say over the next few years, tying in with widespread shortages due to all these dumbo climate-change inspired lockdowns and general supply chain carnage.

The same exuberance that pushed it to 27p has dissolved into fear and profit taking and taken away those gains. Shares rise and fall more on anticipation than on fundamentals. However, this recent drop is not a surprise. Seen it so many times once a high hits on the AIM casino. Still a good share to have in your portfolio though. Unless you've taken advantage of the drop, you just have to learn to live with days like this if you're a noobie or a seasoned investor. Human nature is what it is.

Lol, ITV shares have been in a downward trend for years.

If the oil industry wants to change the trend, it needs to leverage its power and understand there are elements using this virus and global lockdowns to bring them down. Currently, without the oilcos, there's nothing: No supply chains, no food, and especially no big US tech cartels, stifling competition.

As long as confidence in governments continues to dissipate in the west, gold will continue its ascent. Yes, there will be ups and downs, but my guess is that by 2024/25, physical gold prices will be £4000+, a commodities boom also buoying up the price.

You've been generally on-the-money of late, djryan777. As the old cliche goes, the truth hurts. It's not what investors want to hear, but there's no getting away from certain realities. Things can only get better from here, surely? Leigh Creek can be the saviour, with a commodities boom expected over the next few years. Getting it up and running profitably will be the main hurdle.

People took advantage of the early 2018 highs of £1.40something and the lows that followed, I hope. Like everything, it's about timing. On AIM, as we all know, you must always take your profits during highs (and sometimes sit on losses till they hopefully recover -- Rainbow Rare in my case at 8p a share). This share will take off. When, well, we may be waiting some more months yet...let's hope that in 5 years time, when it's 20 quid or more share, we'd wish we had bought more back in the mid 2020s.

I thought the company was back in 2012, looking at their current SP. The best course for them is to avoid identity politics, quotas and general wokeness. It will only grind down the share price.

SLA has been building up a position in Boohoo since they listed on AIM. They talk about divestment, having high standards and protecting clients capital and the usual PR pseudo-woke baloney, but the plain fact is they have over half a trillion in assets on their books, have done well out of Boohoo and are moving on, as opposed to Jupiter Asset Management and others.

If it's any consolation, Standard Life Aberdeen's SP is still below Boohoo's.

I know of a few US pension funds that went all-out ethical and green after 2009 and missed out on some massive stock gains. You've ultimately got to think with your head, and not your heart. Wringing your hands won't make you money 99 times out of 100, even in this current climate. Boohoo has just got to ride out this media-created shorter play and play the cards they've got effectively. Time and the distractions that brings is on their side.

That's not much of a future then, especially if you're a shareholder in a variety of companies.

Germany will lose 1 in 5 businesses by the year's end, it has been forecast by the German equivalent of the CBI. The UK will probably lose an equivalent amount, if not more. Lambasting a successful business like Boohoo is the British way, I realize that, but all this handwringing and spite is really nauseating to say the least. The UK will desperately need all the businesses it can hang on to.

You're not daft enough to find that garment factories employ people for £15/hour, are you? This has been business practice for years, from Next to ASOS to Boohoo and Co. Unfortunately, this country has turned into a handwringer's paradise where moral outrage is negated by a quick shop to Primark and an ebay package from Asia.

"Major lows are always short-cover rallies, but they are much more dramatic." Now, who was it who said that...

Mock outrage is an industry all by itself these days,. You never see the internet gobbos starting companies up though and making 'stuff'. I certainly wouldn't choose this country for business, looking at the state of UK shares. It's lost a trillion or two in capitalisation over the last year or two.

Moral outrage is one thing, but so is cognitive dissonance.

The handwringers behind the Guardian and their ilk wouldn't even attempt to start up a company, with all the risks that that involves. All they can do is throw brickbats from their safe little middle class bubbles.

The world has gone doolally and BP has got a Looney at the top. Perfect symmetry some will say...from their rubber rooms.
