kernowlad, now. I had to sell due to personal circumstances. On the price right now, I'm unable to afford an amount that would make it worth while buying. I briefly read up on it a few weeks ago and from I understood OXB may hold the patents to administer a possible new vaccine, that AZ does not have. The article should still be on their website, as they are very transparent.
There was something extremely interesting about the way they linked up and if I'd have the sufficient funds, I'd invest. But obviously, everybody needs to do their own research, connect the dots, apply common sense and logic and the rest is following your instinct. At least that's how I tick. Also it's safe to say that medical research on their level is now more important than it ever was and they have had some great results in regards to eye-disease in the past.

kernowlad that's what it was called. Exactly, thanks. Well, but I came out £3200 better off than I went in. I was happy :-)

Good afternoon, Suckitup. I'm also observing Pan African Resources (invested into them years ago, but very little - regrettably, but they seem undervalued), Mosman Oil & Gas and Bacanora Lithium. About the latter I'm not sure at all, as they're not yet mining and there's been a development in regards of a new lithium/silicon based battery generation by Tesla and I'm not sure yet if these require more or less lithium.
My best investment ever was Oxford Biomedica (back in the days when their shares price was cruising between 6 and 8p each :-) ). They're are working with Astrazeneca to solve Cov19, so this could also be an interesting one.

It's a new chance
Amiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigooooooooooooo
And I'm feeling good
:-)

GLA :-)

Seriously, Hickson9, I only just started going back into shares after many years of absence (1990s) and boy, things have changed. So I feel as if I am a mouse treading through milk and hoping it turns to cheese, so I won't drown :-) . This here is my second position, "jumped in", as you say, last week and last weekend I spent lighting white candles, burning incense, chanting and meditating in the hope this investment will work out for me. I didn't jump in with much, I bought 2k and by that I mean 2000 shares, not monetary value :-) . So I need this to up significantly. 20p would be ok, but 50 or 80 would be fantastic :-) . Depending on the development of this, I might leave this as a long-term investment. See how it goes. Should I lose my investment, then I will be a little frustrated, but upset or completely distraught. I'm happy about taking the leap :-)

Hickson9 Exactly the reason why I stopped studying psychology less than one year into it. It became terrifying enough learning the basics of how to read people, I didn't want to perfect this dark art :-) As for how many he has left to sell...I don't know, but perhaps if you grow some crystal ones you'll not only jump in, but you also find out :-)

Hickson9 I suspected that when I read your first message in this thread: "jumping in tomorrow", "read a few things on twitter", "read a bit here and there"...followed by some questions which suggest to me that you may have picked your pointers up in here, but clearly did not understand what you read and then you're asking for help in your decision making (as if anyone would do that ;-) ) . At the moment this seems to be something between a stand-off and high noon. A battle of the nerves. So tonight you plan to stab in the dark (oops...do your research I meant to say) and tomorrow you will buy? What sort of a bizarre flow chart is this? As I said before, you might just as well buy and then do your research, as the way you have already laid out your cunning plan, it will make the same difference :-)

You haven't done this very often if at all, have you? Just go for it, worst case scenario you'll lose every penny you spent. It really is that simple ;-) and if you want you some real big excitement, you'll start the research after you have committed a handsome sum :-)

Just saw a document on Moneysavingexpert updated 1st September 2020, which helps people reclaiming guarantor loans for free and of course Amigo gets (ab)used as a bad example. In case you haven't read it yet: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/reclaim-guarantor-loans/#:~:text=So%20far%20no%20guarantor%20lenders%20have%20gone%20into,planning%20to%20sell%20his%20stake%20and%20%22jump%20ship%22.

Think it's time for me to watch something seriously uplifting. Found an old movie documentary about Black Thursday 1929 lol

gdpollard Night night :-)

itisagame, that is a fair point. As I said, I'm new to this in the sense that investing in the 1980s and 90s was a different thing. I am learning the new way. Globalism and the speed in which news travel can be factor that I might underestimate massively. So thank you for this pointer. Very valuable to me what you said is ( Why do write like Yoda talks? :-) Perhaps one glass of red too many lol)

itsisagame,
I thought of you as one the tough investors, at least that how you come across in your posts. I'm shocked to read this from you :-) . I evaluate my decision and I'm opting for longer terms, not for quick fixes. "Get rich quick" was something that worked a long time ago. I bet you that in years to come you will feel sorry to have sold positions. Perhaps its because I don't have to get rich quick, neither do I want to. So I just enjoy the ride and the excitement and in between learn a lot. Patience is a virtue, not an issue ;)

Well, yourboyHK, Covid is something that we should learn to get used to. I knew that when all governments started talking about "The New Normal". It's something that exists, but without any proof in regards of the danger as such. In my mind it's a bit like a religion, when the priests say "This God exists, believe in it, but don't expect me to delivery any material proof, for I don't have and Faith doesn't require me having to proof anything to you".
How I decide may make a lot of hardened investors in this BB cringe :-) I go by: What do I like, what do I need and then I start thinking about if everybody likes and needs this also. I then research the company and if I don't like the website (some are so minimalistic, I could knock up a better one using Word for Windows alone), I look into who is running the company, are they trustworthy, do they have a track record of success or of failures (LinkED can help with that). I also check them out via Company House. I look into their plans for the future, because investing into what won't work in the present and hasn't worked in the past is futile.
I give you an example: I know that the future of mobility is in Electric Trick Vehicles, which will need batteries. I can't afford Tesla cars, but I might be able to afford shares in companies that are mining the components of batteries. I have looking into that come across a new generation of batteries, which are based on using silicon and lithium instead of graphite for their main components. I am now trying to figure out how much lithium these batteries will require. Lithium is something that is not THAT rare, but a lot of it happens to be in countries which are a bit 'shaky'. You see...it's not easy. On the bright side you learn stuff about stuff you never thought exists. Research also gives you a great inside about global politics. It's actually better than going to school ;)

It's my second investment here :D My first was 470 shares in PanAfricanResources which I bought when they were on 8p and they are now on 23ish :D so they are in profit now (Yipeeeh :-) ) Was a while ago an trust me, I wish I could have bought loads more of them at the time, but it was not possible. Personal circumstances which totally wrecked my plans, but I am eager to bounce back now :-)

yourboyHK what you said sums it up, but I'd twist it a touch: "Don't invest more than you are 'happy' to lose". For when a loss makes you feel down or even devastated, then don't enter. The difference was back the 'calmer days' was that the world was a lot more slowly in comparison to today. Nowadays you get news from anywhere in the matter of minutes, sometimes even seconds and back then it would take a day or more days. The "game" is the same, but a lot faster. Another difference is, that in my young days it was a lot more easy to save up (better income, less living cost etc) and we knew we'd eventually finish working with a pension that we knew would be ok. This all has changed, you see. I give you an example: We were three children, our father worked full time (not in the trade he learned, which he could no longer do due to a war injury) our mother worked part time from home as a seamstress/tailor. We owned a house, two cars and went on holiday twice a year. To replicate this today would be incredibly difficult. It was different times, significantly more slowly than today, we did face challenges, but they were different altogether. What I just told you isn't that long ago, it was like that in the late 1960s/1970s.

Hi Pension-investor. I'm also on HL, but they are doing something to their website and often their figures are a bit 'weird'. I have no idea why they can't correct this and revert their page to what is was. However, it safe to say that HL are, at the moment, not the sharpest tool in the box. They need to improve their service and they want to do it fast.

@FigTreeHarry, you want a small corner, too? :-) then come up with a few sensible sentences and I shall grant you the space of an average postage stamp :-)

I was ready for a rest from all of the excitement this weekend. I had my rest. Can't wait for Tuesday now lol. My two positions are in profit with a staggering £28.53 :-) so I have done something right ;-) This is such a journey for me. My first dabble into shares came from the days when you bought them analogue via a broker, now it's a matter of registering with one and you're a mouse click away from it all. Amazing. In the old days shares just got bought and that was that, but the market wasn't as volatile as today and the real action was on "The Floor", which only few ever saw, and not in the living room or the study. I'm beginning to envy all the young people who are starting these days. The make or break of a company is these days in hands of many and the broker has become a middle man, most of them providing little more than an online platform. Reminds me a bit of 'Power to the People' :D

Dear Fletch83 You have just won yourself a place on my fridge door :-) Thank you so much, I will print this out. I wish you a great and relaxing weekend with your family. Such wonderful thoughts. Thank you.

"That’s the thing Mousekewitz... we all have something in common if we invest in shares. We are all dreamers and starters who want better. Whether that’s a better life, a holiday home, to financially free. Whatever our end goals are. One way or another we get there. We’re that kind of person. It’s the reason why we take risks, start businesses, take chances and do what we do. On our heads be it. I don’t always get it right. But I do a lot of the time.

Just do your research it’s all out there for you to read. And make your call. Take your chance. I for one will be achieving my goals with JB leading a forward thinking global business. And there will be bumps in the road. But soon we will see. And when we do we can thank JB and understand what he was actually trying to do here.

Just my 2 penny.
Right curry and booze time. I’ve neglected my children and the other half all week.
Stay positive Amigo’s & senoiritas
Have a top BH Weekend!"

Fletch83 "Take your opportunity or don’t. That’s your call. But jog on if you’re bringing your negativity. We don’t need you." is the best thing I have read in a long time. Mind over matter. Positive thinking. The power of thought is what shapes the reality. This may seem a little esoteric for some, but most very successful business people think like that. If they didn't, they'd never started. Thank you, Fletch83. From now more positivity:
The only way is up, Baby,...we're all Amigos ;-)
