Retirement: what a load of unintelligible gobbledegook.

Retirment: just to be clear, we have never spoken and never will.

No I don’t bad mouth or abuse anyone, unlike you. I am just calling out you as a chancer who throws around flawed advice which may be followed by some. Your diversionary tactics of I bought this and sold that and I hold this many (which may or may not be true - we will never know) cannot distract away from what you’ve posted which we can all read. Now please continue with your usual tantrum when you’re challenged and I’ll get on with my evening.

Of course you did. Bye.

Retirment: let me help you - you were extolling the virtues of ‘scaling out’ of RR and telling those who had a different approach that they were wrong because £11 was not going to happen anytime soon. Does that jog your memory? Can’t be 4rsed to wade through your drivel to find the actual posts, but they’re there.

Retirment: now that your flawed ‘scale out of RR’ advice seems to have backfired are you now buying the rise? Good job most ignored you.

IAGL: TBF, he deserves that (I bet you’ve been counting down the days) LOL.

Happy: an SP of 600 in 12 months is (of course) not impossible - anything can happen. But to claim it’s ‘very realistic’ is ridiculous. IMO it is highly unlikely. You should stick to backing outsiders at the races.

Retirment: let’s hope that nobody was influenced by your RR insights (scale out, IAG will outperform RR blah blah blah) and missed out on recent rises in the SP. That would be a real shame.

In the short term, It may go lower (or even a lot lower) - or, it may not - or it may go higher (or even a lot higher) - or it may not! But zoom out, not in. At some point soon, this will pivot. The trick is to get the best entry/top up one can (which most probably won't be the bottom, unless you're very lucky). There's rewards a plenty to come. Don't panic. Stay calm. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Oh no, Retirment is back claiming he’s right again (and again and again) and those holding are wrong (again and again). Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but why would he keep on repeating the same narcissistic ramblings. Odd. Best to ignore IMO. Temper tantrum incoming.

There’s a huge diversity of opinion on here with at least three distinct (but difficult to identify with confidence) types: genuine believers; genuine sceptics; and manipulative traders who purport to believe and/or be sceptical either for their own or their paymasters’ purposes. Traders can successfully impact sentiment by leveraging facts and opinions to move the SP in their desired direction. It’s all part of the ‘market’. IMO, it’s best to understand the fundamentals and work with the market to manage your position in line with those fundamentals and your risk appetite. Oh, and anyone that claims certainty, is to be ignored. Anything can happen, anytime.

Svend: well you knocked that one ‘out the park’! Always good to see ‘evidence-led’ posts.

As I said last week: ‘No idea why some on here such as Retirment claim to be right and others are wrong. Very insecure and attention seeking behaviour. Best ignored IMO.’

Good advice. Retirment is best ignored.

PC: for what it’s worth, I mostly agree with your post on this occasion - it’s balanced and probably realistic. Sadly, it will get little traction here because your credibility is shot as a result of the huge volume of ramping posts and emojis that have gone before. I admire your persistence but I am not confident in your motivation (investor or paid to post)?

It’s all about doing the right thing FOR YOU, given your unique personal circumstances, confidence in the investment and risk appetite - it’s your choice, because it’s your money and you live with the outcome (good or bad). No idea why some on here such as Retirment claim to be right and others are wrong. Very insecure and attention seeking behaviour. Best ignored IMO.

Or to put it another way: you don’t fatten the pig by weighing it!

IMO, Lorna’s time is best spent executing the plan to production, not providing commentary on the SP which will materially improve in line with sentiment.

Svend: thank you for your comprehensive and thoughtful response to Retirment’s ramblings. He uses some of the right words, but in completely the wrong order. I’ve resisted answering his question ‘who’s the idiot’?
