The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from WS Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
About time, hopefully the BBC get their act together and report the facts. It should be headline news given that £3.2 billion of taxpayers money has been totally wasted on a shockingly inaccurate LFT. Bring on the orders from the EU for the best in class LFT - Avacta.
I agree Cameron.
Like yourself I’m heavily down (on paper) with ARB approximately 45%. I’m content to hold for the long term as my thoughts regarding the fundamentals remain positive.
Sure, currently ARB is impacting my portfolio (again only on paper) but my portfolio is diverse and weighted across a number of sectors so I’m relatively relaxed about the medium to long time. Yes, it’s going to take time to recover but I’m sure that all investors would have done their own research in respect of ARB and Bitcoin etc. It’s a very volatile market which is being played and will continue to be played for some time.
ARB and indeed the AIM market is not for everyone but with respect if you’re looking to get rich quick and invest heavily in this market than you must expect and accept the downs that inevitably come.
No ramping, no decamping I’ll continue to hodl even if the SP goes sub 80p. No ramping, no deramping, as I make no recommendations as to what any one else does with their shares or money.
DYOR.
All miners in the US flying at the moment.
ARB 13.5%
Riot 15%
Mara 15.5%
Hopefully will provide additional impetus for UK to break through £1.60.

“Due to fact we listed on more the one stock exchange, we can’t disclosed or hint on the announcement. Bear with us little bit more. ??”
Good news on the horizon IMO.

Mine landed in my HL Fund & Share AC about 5 mins ago.
I applied through HL directly (who dealt directly with Primary Bid) and also through Primary Bid. I received both allocations albeit only £500 + 2.85% of original allocation. Interestingly the shares allocated by HL directly into my ISA were in my account yesterday ready to trade at 0800 this morning.
I applied through Primary Bid and also via HL so managed to get an allocation of shares through both. HL share allocation were in my ac immediately whilst shares via Primary Bid should hit later today. Will sell 50% today and hold rest until Monday and then reassess . Also in Kanabo which IMO will be a better performer over time.
Yep, got the same email and deleted immediately. They’re my broker, not my financial advisor!
Hi ST
I agree, Amazon has been an exceptional stock with a great yield and again I agree the company continues to grow from strength to strength.
I merely pointed out that Amazon does not pay a dividend.
As to the future prospects of a dividend payment I do not believe this is imminent.
Why?
Given the extremely high share price Amazon could use its free cash flow to pay dividends to shareholders however it would be very small regarding dividend yield probably as low as 0.5% yield. A divi yield of 0.5% would be almost pointless for income investors like ourselves. They company could pay out a greater percentage of its earnings to generate a higher yield, but this would hinder its ability to invest in growth, which is essential for tech companies. So I suspect Amazon will continue to focus on growth and an ever increasing SP.
As for Lloyds, I don’t believe it’s all doom and gloom. An increase in the SP to probably about 45-50p for 2021 with announcements of small to moderate divi. For me it’s a hold for the time being however long term it does face significant competition from the newcomers and needs to recognise the needs of a younger more tech savvy customer.
Loggy, likewise, I’m invested in Lloyds and naturally want it to do well. I’m optimistic that we will see a return of a dividend by the end of June.
I suspect that the negative cherry picked numbers are geared towards provoking a reaction for some people’s entertainment rather than an agenda. Unfortunately some people take the bait...
Loggy makes the same point that I made in your post “worrying times for Lloyds” which you’ve not responded to.
Sure, there’s been significant switching this year. But you did fail to mention - “The participant data which is three months in arrears shows that from July to September 2020, Halifax had the highest net switching gains, followed by Starling Bank and Monzo. Lloyds and Bank of Scotland are in fourth and fifth respectively for net switching gains.’
Taken directly from CASS/Payuk
Your quote “ During Q3, both Monzo and Starling were the biggest net gainers with 11,392 and 11,998 customers respectively.‘ is actually from Q2 as the figures are 3 month in arrears.
The actual Q3 net gains are:
Halifax - 22742
Starling - 12652
Monzo - 9157
Lloyds - 8335
The biggest losers being HSBC, Santander and TSB.
