'Ordinary shares in each of Anglo American Platinum Limited and of Kumba Iron Ore Limited'

Correct me if I'm wrong - these won't be allowed in my ISA? So will be left with 0.886 BHP shares and stock I'm not that bothered about?

Hi Ripley, looks like we have had a similar - and sometimes difficult journey with Avon. I bought at the beginning of September 2021 and sold at the end of that month at a very modest profit. Bought in again a few days later (thought I acted hastily in selling - as I felt it had M&A written all over it) and have bought dips, and dips, and dips ever since. Jos and Rich have been a God send and I sense they are turning it around. However, the market is fickle and I suspect tomorrow will be a serious test. Have talked myself out of profit taking all week in search of bigger gains - due to the current conflicts and the decent contracts they are winning. This afternoon's drop was very dissapointing and I'm hoping it was just a bit of profit-taking. I'm looking at reducing, don't want to be out fully until I feel the time is right. Did you cash out completely? Fingers crossed for tomorrow (for anybody left in), as it should be a good year if the numbers are decent.

I think we are all a bit shocked ....

Fingers crossed

Looks like everybody is gearing up for a cracking set of interim results on the 21st

I'm guessing they could make it state-owned ... Personally, I bottled it and more or less sold out with a 45% loss - left a bit in there, but only so I could still have my hands in it to see what the outome will be, as I was fearful for what tomorrow brings. Just got out of Poly with a small profit and have a nice share certificate for Evraz in a drawer somewhere. I didn't need another victim of war ....

Lol

Its in freefall, and Wednesday is due .....

Me too

Just gone to auction

Today is a concern, and I can only think that politics is at play. They are the third biggest producer in the World and the grade is second to none. They are an important company for Ukraine, especially with regards to any rebuild, and I would like to think that a suitor is sniffing the resource. But why they are being treated like this can only be seen as power playing. This is the only thing I can think of - why would they treat a great Ukranian asset with such contempt. Only my thoughts and I realise there is a war going on ..... but!

I topped up this morning Pedro, bit puzzled why the SP hasn't moved at all this morning.

But my slight worry for Calnex is that their relationship with 'Spirent' (post-sale) will be a very different one.

Hi Grippa, you are right - and I was one of them. Just topping up and hoping to piggy back on the good news for Spirent (like the others I guess). According to HL todays day gain/loss is still not available? But Calnex does have a tendancy to lag behind Spirent.

Good point SPKS. Apologies Blind - you big charmer, I'm the Aunty - not the Sister. But we do look similar

This is what I said 2 days ago - "Personally Lloyds has been a great stock for me, but only because of averaging and a great divi to boot. Looking to offload 30% very soon, sure as eggs is eggs there will no doubt be better priced entry points to bring the average down even further, but the 1 million buy has given some food for thought."

- I will definately let you know when I offload if it hits the price I am comfortable with I will - I know what it is. If it sinks again, I am happy with the divi. Win, win - I love Lloyds. Are you testing me Longtime?

Are you a bot!!!

I honestly think the same will happen again. The market may indeed decide the value of Lloyds, but the individual will decide when to take profit - if they are lucky enough to do so

Longtime - ???? The quick 10% in less than 3 weeks. Are you testing me?

Longtimeinvestor - there is no way I will ever disagree with you, but many of us have seen 50+ appear and disappear as quickly. This year may have been different, except for the stupid 2/3 weeks at the beginning of this year when the SP dropped from 46/47 to 41 (again) - shorters that took advantage of this will be taking profits, and long term holders will either jump ship, slice, or hold. Yesterday, I think, is why the drop happened, today it happened again, but not as bad,.48 will see the same, if it can hold to 50, the same will happen as happened on the last 2 occassions - selling pressure will succumb, it is what it is.
