There is always a place hear for the likes of KPA and the Dog and Dogger in that such posts take away the rose tinted specs and every so often it is worth revisiting why are you invested? Can you stomach a 100% loss?

Each time I review, for me it just reinforces my investment in PFC as the BoD and Aiden will navigate this through while protecting shareholders as best as they can. It seems a ST issue, not a terminal one.

Ask yourself what you fear most-

Risking a total loss (unlikely) from an entry of 40p 30p 20p 15p for a potential reward x many multiple?

Take a loss and rue seeing 60p 80p £1 £1.30p £1.60 and be gutted?

Depending what you fear most, you will have your answer or just walk away and enjoy life.

A novel idea perhaps - why not continue to be patient?

When the FSS contract is in production, this will not be a 12p stock anymore.

Goodness, a lot of bedwetters here today.

IAG is adding slots and growth with Air Europa -strategic move for peanuts at a time when profits are roaring in. IAG will hit 220p again and the dividend will be reinstated - so mopping up position at these levels. Trim & Add while in a range and increasing exposure.

For example (during the last 2 weeks anyone could have)

Added 10000 @ 143 incl comm and FTT - Stamp n/a ...... £14,334.55 around mid Jan or Dec or whenever

& Trimmed 6000 @ 157 incl comm £ 9,414.05

Net cost £4,920.50 for 4k shares = 123.013p average price

That is some 14% below your initial entry price !!! and ready to sell at 160p (30% return for the tranche) if that's what happens again - or higher.

Not a recommendation of course but sometimes there are ways to gain an entry and lower the average costs.

As a "friend" of mine on LSE says - KEEP PLUGGING AWAY !

GL & only invest what you can do without.

Content at these levels as currently tranferring to my ISA and releasing a loss tax efficiently into my non ISA for the 2023/24. If it goes to plan, then a flly recover of loss and an offset to reduced taxable earnings. On with the plan.

1st tranche taken here - despite headwinds, seems a good entry for a quality company despite a few headwinds - will add again as it drops, if indeed it does.

Already bottomed at a higher st low and moving up towards 240.

Screaming £3+ all day long for this cash cow.

Some day folks will realise that and be chasing it up.

HTH - for the Gold.

More like a bid for James Fisher from WG. / merger synergies

Rank Group PLC, up 3.0% at 72.50p, 12-month range 60.40p-107.60p. The gambling company reports its results for the six months ended December 31. It reports revenue of GBP362.6 million up from GBP338.9 million a year earlier. Rank swings to a pretax profit of GBP10.4 million from a loss of GBP109.1 million. Looking ahead, Rank expects the challenging economic environment to remain, however it remains "positive about the future" and expects like-for-like operating profit for the year to be in line with company expectations. "The board has not proposed an interim dividend but expects to recommence dividend payments as soon as circumstances permit," it adds.

Delivering well on matrixes. Adding on any weakness as surely the markets realise the quality of this company.

Continued growth compounding the recovery already underway,increasing visits and profit improving across all venues, debt down, cash balances increasing, wage growth absorbed, LFL continuing to improve, nothing in the rns of concern.

Dividend, was hoping for definitive news as to when but as a large shareholder remain content that they are containing to invest in the growth of the business.

Someone will take notice and make an approach for this icon.

Market surely will rerate this, so adding on weakness while it remains here as it should be heading be £1+++ when dividend resumes.

Ripe for a bid, this keeps me invested.

Rangebound until March then. 110 to 132.... add & trim.... still profitable as waiting for the tide to turn.

Kpa, good evening been out all day with friends on the N Coast so just tuned in.

No doubt you say. Wrong again, I had to look up the ticker ITM but not a holder. Why you cross post here seems odd. Enjoy your evening.

Snooker racking, core building, trim to win... ... some day a book deal 😁.

Guess you and I are on the same page here.

Adding on any opportunity, trimming on a rise. You can work on a 70 / 30 trade on a 15% rise to be 65% of your initial purchase.

Think about it.

Eg 1000 x £1 less 700 x 115p = 300 @ £195 ie 65p average, just saying.

Different moves different % but lots of opportunities.

Working well though, anyone elsectrim yesterday? Great call.

Always keep a core here and trade to lower average. Great opportunities here.

Of course the contrarian will see each of those event a Ms a buying opportunity in the normal course of investing.

Add trim .... trim add... remember Hogs 🐷get slaughtered. Only bulls 🐂 and bears 🐻win and reach their targets.

🎯🎯🎯

Event risk of deal being blocked, deferred recession fears, oil price peaking, bull market correcting, labour govt screwing North Sea producers and all in one sentence.

And that's if you live long enough to draw one down.

Have a good look at your pension statement when it drops in next.

What do you see? A mediocre promise of a pension at some date way in the future.

Keeping up still.

Now look at the protjected returns.... yes that's right... projected may never happen.

Then look at the pot size...... currently.

If you live to 85 then you may get something.

But remember the size of your pot.... the pension funds have been gambling with that for your working life and until you retirement date and after.

If you cashed in your pot today, do you not think you could get at least a 5% return yourself after tax?

Even after a drawdown tax hit?

Meanwhile you amass a large pot and what happens at the end?

Many give it up and their savings and house

to pay £50k per year care costs or 100k now in the south of England.

The pension risk is many never live see it, get taxed on it or give it up in IHT and care costs.

Perhaps you will be the exception I hear you say. Well live long and prosper.

Taking my pots out at the 55 level. To hell with keeping it there to be stolen in taxes and care costs.

Even if your pension is fantastic, at the end of life all your assets get scalped with taxes. Even if you plan prudently, will you beneficiaries also plan. The govt gets it all.

The motto is

Enjoy and live life when you can as few get that bit right. Spend it all on your loved ones.

Pebsion Ponzi schemes.

All pensions schemes are ponzis.

Did Golmans see the combo when the SP was around 220p and issue a Buy note in anticipation ?

Thought not !

Broker notes = 🧻🧻🧻
