The Italian government has approved regulations that could see half of the country, including Lazio, the region surrounding Rome, enter total lockdown from Monday as coronavirus infections surge.

Heard on BB TV and in the Guardian.

When long haul comes back, it will already be too late to buy RR. around these prices.

I wonder how much these genii earn for their research?

Will they raise the target over to over £1 should the share price hit £4 at some point.

Sharecast News) - Analysts at Bank of America hiked their target price for shares of Rolls Royce from 55.0p to 80.0p in anticipation of stronger than previously expected free cash flow generation in 2022.
However, they kept their recommendation for the shares at 'underperform'.

Regrets, I hhave a few.

My F-i-l put me off investing £1000 in a 2p/3p share in a retailer as he deemed it too risky. Back in the day £1k was a lot when you were earning a few £100 a week.

That £1000 was in NEXT.

To be fair I would never have held it past a 10 bagger but I learnt a lesson to listen but not act on others. I have followed my gut instinct and got there in the end.

GL.

Fools rush in - comes to mind. My post was an example not a trade I had done. although I did buy a top up under 103.

I imagine I do not hold the 10000s or even 100000s that others own but I am working hard to get my average below 60p.

Isn't a large part of the stimulus going trojan horse style to the Dem cities which ruined themselves?

OT
It is great that Biden is President so he can take the credit for the market rise, the covid rollout etc. Where would we be but for him. If only he had been President earlier after all his fantastic achievements in less than 60 days :)

Imagine DOW 60k before the end of his term with this pace !

Why are there so few posts on this stock. The volatility is suberb - feel the pain as it goes down and then a few days later - whoosh.

IMHO very tradeable share, with caution obviously.

Great video and lyrics mr, thank you.

Live & love life while the music plays.

I am getting ready add at these levels. Cheap as chips, at least for a trading bounce. The way I work it is eg buy around £1, sell around 108 112 120 or wherever it bounces, the higher the more I reduce and end up with low average shares or free shares.
Wait and repeat. Comm 5.95 no stamp
eg 5000@£1 - £5006
Sell 3500 70% - @ 108 - £ 3774
Balance 1500 holding at £1,232 (82.13p)

Adjust quantities up and down according to what you can afford to invest.
Always a risk but then what isn't.
Not a recoomendation, just what works for me.

Was over 250 when I reduced at the end of Jan. It can easily get there again. The Polish sale continues the restructure and hopefully upwards again.

Nice lift today but it did this a few sessions ago too.

I want near £3 from this this year before I fully sell out.

Going to walk it down to 228 again, surely not.
Adding, on dips. Works for me.
DYOR

AVAP -had a look as I never checked it before. RI underpins? Prefer a lower entry price sub £1. 4p spread a killer for me. Broker tips strong buy. Interesting, will watch for now.

BAR - any IC tip usually tanks for me. (I bought IC weekly for years in the 90s. Waste of money)
Remember SCOOT ENERGIS COLT MARCONI FERRANTI. Per IC Buy Buy Buy. Hmmm.
10p spread?
GL

However :
BVC
0.4p spread.
No stamp.
Great company, pipeline potential.
IMHO. 80p-110p range. Possible breakout at some point.

I just keep adding / reducing within the range.
Seems to work so far. Low average getting lower and holding quantity expanding.

Not a recommendation

Not advice.

Usually as retirement approaches a portion of the pot is put near to a cash equivalent to reduce volatility and risk of large moves around the retirement age affecting hard saved pension pots.

FWIW certain sectors are on a sustainable recovery and whilst not achieving pre covid levels of demand for a long while, these sectors will continue to move higher.

I am already repositioning and sitting with around 40% cash. A cyclical recovery is set to continue, with or without a flash crash. Although post any crash would make an better entry point.

Oils, oil service sector, any recovery will benefit as long as the supply increases are controlled to maintain price around $75. I expect blowout earnings in Q1. In turn that will benefit the oil services as capital becomes available.

Travel, hospitality sector, on a roll and plenty of buyable dips along the way. Does anyone believe this sector will not open up again, that people will not scramble and overpay for a holiday, that a glimpse of sunshine will not get everyone out?

People are gagging to be released.

Services sectors will roar, advertising etc

Pharma will be much higher too.

Covid cannot be used to contain everyone indefinitely. The political covid - another strain warnings - no longer work.

Sun, sand, sea and Summer :) will test whether the vaccine works and whether any rise is acceptable given the % of the population vaccinated (increasing daily).

BUT Look out below if the vaccines are pulled as ineffective. Who knows if that will be suggested as part of the plan? Nothing surprises me any more.

The rallies could happen from lower levels follwoing a correction which, for all is a much much healthier than throwing money at stocks with all time highs.

Don't forget, funds are brimming with cash and they will not mind throwing other people's money in for returns as long as they get their fees.

Bond rates increases improve bank sector margins, inflation (should) boost materials & metals stocks

After the next correction DOW 40K S&P 5k - is on the agenda. The FTSE will of course increase only modestly :)
Stay safe and good luck all.

Good to see, Friday, weekend, position closing. Powell is damned no matter what he says ad the markets will dictate when to crash or rally in exuberence.

A tantram is all it is at the moment and for the next months will be manipulated to create buying opportunites in stocks by bringing down the markets. Trash the FANGS Buy the FANGS Rinse repeat.

It is already being teed up.

Take advantage of the disp because initially that is all it will be. 1.6 1.7 1.8 - positioning and then surprise the rate settles around 1.5. Remember when it was higher pre covid and stocks were content.

For now it will prove for now to be a trading opportunity, rates are long term benign. Just watch the VIX to know when to go back in.

At some point, not yet, a capitulation in the stock markets will be created by design to catch out all the newbies who think the market goes one way only. It will test their mettle as people rush to cover margins but ultimately this will lead to a better place after the shake out occurs.

Build up a bit of cash to be prepared and take advantage.
It will never be as bad as expected (although it will be grim in the eye of the storm) and as the fear increases the manipulators will have already been buying.

It will happen as night follows day.

Just when will be when least expected and the storm will pass.

Just a way of stealing hard earned wealth in my opinion, but know the signs and join where you are content to be.

Tick tock.

Bit quiet out there today, give us a spike to trade off MMs.

Happy Friday to you too.

Another AZN attack story being spread.
They are determined to do down AZN. It is right up there wish UK trashing and RF trashing, City of London trashing. I wonder what the agenda really is.
It seems the world is scared of UK when there are so many other problems that need attention.
There was a death also linked with Moderna but that is written off as normal. Millions have taken AZN, If there was an issue would this not be happening on a wider scale.

Should the public not be more concerned about the aluminium nano particles in most vaccines entering the brain and causing issues?
Me, I will just get on with living and ignore most of the breaking news agenda as I would rather think independently than be brainwashed.

Happy Friday x.

Well said. Case in point.
I was unaware of TTG and have done my usual diligence and gave added it to my reserve list to watch. Certainly looks tradeable on pullbacks.
.So thank you.
My checking out also led me to some other pages which may be useful for background research for other companies.

It is often hard to time this successfully.

In a perfect world, the share price should drop by the amount of dividend on the ex-div date. However the world is not perfect and other factors mean that the share price could open lower or higher and then move throughout the trading day meaning the share price is unlikely to fall by that exact amount.

Many scenarios - many outcomes - any of which could happen.
HOLD - pocket dividend and the SP prices past pre ex div price...... Ideal.
HOLD - pocket dividend and the price falls further than the post ex div price..... Ouch.
SELL - miss the dividend and the price rallies past the pre ex div price..... Oh dear!
SELL - miss the dividend and the price falls further..... Useful (as you may be able to buy back same stock at a lower re-entry)

and of course what happens to the share price over the following days or weeks could make a good trade bad or a bad trade good in hindsight.

Sometimes a share price can rally a bit as the ex div date approaches as many institutions invest for income and want to participate and bank the dividend. Often, after the ex div date, the share price can continue to fall as there is no compelling reason to hold until the next dividend is due.

HTH to show it is not all black and white.

Also complicated by your tax position if you exceed your dividend allowance or need to pay additional taxation on dividend income via self assessment.

I trade and am content to pick up dividends along the way. i look at them as a bonus or compensation if there is a need to hold until a miss timed trade turns around.
