It's not raining!
Quiet day yesterday - just a tiny rinse and repeat on Pfc. Everything else doldrums or down.
Wonder where the x shares will go today?
I'm expecting UK travel sector to be a bit more positive with news of the UK vax passport update (....still leaves the 'problem' for under 16s)
Have a good day y'all
Bonjour!
That was interesting T - I read your comment then watched the mcro chart on opening....down the chute it went. Bizarre.
& B&M - ex d today - price shoots up. 590+ and I was expecting it to be sliding down to 570ish. What do I know....strange markets.....
Have a great day everyone.
NB - Seem to recall I read something in the Times re cine - or maybe it was a HL 'news' item. Do you think rights is likely?
Speaking of HL yesterday they were showing me inaccurate prices on some stocks which is v frustrating......anyone else noticed that?
T - are you still trading CCL? (& excuse my bossiness)
Bonjour
A little brighter than yesterday outside – walkies doesn’t fill me with doom. T – you’d probably benefit from a walk a day as much as your little dog – get out there now!
Odd start to the day. IAG is bobbed even lower this morning – I’m hoping it will revive later. Bank shares getting all excited by the confirmation of higher inflation and the prospect of a rate rise, so those who play with lloy & Barclays are likely feeling buoyed.
Bought B&M and IAG. My TIFS and Cine hasn’t ‘behaved’ yet – and the Hut is more of a blinkin’ shed so far…but I’m hoping for a livelier afternoon.
Have a good day y’all
NB – do you expect cine to do a rights issue?
I’m a veteran of 3 now. First one - IAG-totally freaked me out, I really hadn’t a clue, and with volatility in the shape of cliff edge plummets I lost ‘000s. ( Very grateful for the info and hand holding from S & T and others on this board at the time!) I clawed it back and more eventually. TUI rights – still felt freaky and left me dithering and I’m far from through. And lastly PFC which I’m feeling fairly relaxed about. Should cine do a rights issue, I’m cool, I’ll know what to expect and hope I’ll know what to do. Feels like I’ve come a long way but it’s been a tough boot camp.
Morning Briggers.
I'd like some snow. In low cloud – carp weather for a dog walk here :-(
V bet you can’t see Winter Hill today.
Yesterday was OK. I sold some cine – bought it back this morning. Wondering whether it will replicate last year’s roller coaster?
T – bravo for putting a limit on your ‘gambling’ and pleased avon worked out ok for you
Welcome Topdog (if you’re still reading)
This morning’s gamble for me THG…oops, got it a bit too early.
Hope y’all have a good day
Boo – I have some avon. Hurray – car passed mot. (2 other vehicles due so my period of suspense is not over yet.)
Dank morning, dead deer at the side of the road, wet dog, damp and creaky me, it’s low cloud not fog… could be a proxy for the market
Keep your pecker up Brigade
It's not been a bad day - how about everyone else?
O & T – The market is bonkers. I know we like a bit of volatility but this current behaviour is too hard for me to call. Yesterday I was mesmerised by the fall of Spoons and the rise of MKS and Halfords (didn’t have any) And ASC – I wasn’t surprised it’s continued rise took you by surprise T. Seems, on some days, for some shares, if you ‘raise profit expectations’ then there’s a chance things will take off. IAG disappointed me today.
Betfred alert…… First thing I judged TFS was due a bounce but was also a pretty solid longer term bet. My bounce didn’t work out, apparently some fund (Bain – unfortunate name) has been dumping piles of them. Full of optimism, I just bought some more. Plan to sell them by next Wednesday.
V – I’m hoping you and S still have plenty of sng and are sporting broad grins and brandishing a tesla wing mirror/entire vehicle.
Not here…bracing myself for mot news
Good morning - Damp, foggy, wet and car needs an MOT.
Prescience hahaha. Should have kept my little chunk of sng. Just bought TIFS hoping for a bounce back, thinking the fall is over reaction. (Like the m&S and Halfords rise yesterday)
Wishing you good trading briggers.
Thanks N. The same ‘avoid following’ note could be applied to me, although I seldom confess my worst mistakes. Today I felt smug when I bought and sold IAG and SNG. So neat and tidy and ready to go again. Then burst my own balloon reflecting I'll wish I'd kept them when they soar tomorrow morning.
Thanks & sorry T- didn’t intend to cause any concern. I have had a ‘well below par’ summer. Nothing life threatening, but slightly sapped with endless flu-ey colds and snivels, malaise and fatigue. This has a knock on – garden is overgrown, house a shambles, (could apply those descriptions to me too) and as for life admin and ‘portfolio’ arggghh.
I hope the rest of the RBB are healthy, happy and doing well. Must read back….. catch up on what’s been going on, reflect on the machinations, look for insights and pearls of wisdom.
Just had the 3rd vax – clearly treating it as a re-boot.
Good morning – just came by to catch up.
I see others are absent too. Hopefully busy, not poorly.
Thanks for the good wishes. Annoyingly, I’m still firing on one cylinder and taking it very easy.
Saw yesterday’s red, red and redder :-)
N - BWNG was my share bucking the trend. Unfortunately bought at a level where it’s not in the blue. Also I bought some CCL a little early with the dregs of my funds, which turns out wasn’t the worst choice. I’ve noticed it climbing back steadily. Fingers crossed for everyone that trend continues. (T -Wonder whether you were trading CCL or ASC, or sitting on your hands?)
V – your x shares heading in the right direction, but suspect not far enough yet
O – We are living in strange times, I suspect they may get stranger. Hard to plot a recovery based on guesswork based on shifting sands and government by whim. Got any dice?
Bon chance briggers
Bobbing in to say hello and self certificate. Apols for going awol - I have been under the weather the last week, dizzy and weak as a kitten. Not sure whether it’s long or short covid, (or more likely) a bad case of malingering, or what, but it’s annoying and inconvenient.
Good to hear your neighbours have shifted T – you must feel relief.
Morning briggers
S - thanks for the info -useful as I'm girding my loins to better my bossanova position - I take the prize for the highest price paid with a chunk at 701 :-)
Noticed Lamprell going down the helter-skelter this morning
I'm busy elsewhere, picking auction wins up and doing oldies 'messages' today.
Have a good day y'all
