Ben Richardson, CEO at SulNOx, confident they can cost-effectively decarbonise commercial shipping. Watch the video here.
My personal prediction from the data is that Italy , Germany , Poland , Canada , Lithuania , Slovakia , Latvia , Switzerland, Hong Kong and Austria could be added to the green list later today. Obviously Safestay has presence in some but not all of the above so it would be beneficial to Safestay and (UK) customers. Not withstanding each countries own entry policies of course. Mainland Spain will I believe remain Amber despite localised curfews. Let’s see what happens today when it’s formally announced.
I totally agree with you Chilting. It’s relentless and definitely takes the sparkle off the rises. Clearly manipulated…We need it to break out above their price (which it nearly did recently) .. maybe then they will move onto the next victim! I’d much sooner it went up and stayed up rather than continually buying the dips. I’m mindful that not everyone is in a position to do this and would much rather see my fellow investors make some meaningful gains rather than this rinse and repeat process that ultimately benefits the shorters. On a comical note I think the share needs a double dose of viagra to help it get up and stay up!
After 2 days of consecutive falls I just couldn’t resist buying again today .. too good an opportunity to miss. Absolutely agree with bitybit and VP .. more people will revert from store buying to online during this period which is going to last a little while yet. With numbers rising daily and set to catapult to circa 100k of new cases per day by next week and sadly increasing deaths too why would anyone go to a supermarket, even with 2 jabs. As for additional lockdowns i think it is unlikely but not inconceivable in areas with concentrated high numbers. The situation is still very fluid.
This morning I made a purchase of 20,000 shares and yet again it is shown as a sale. Given that this is the 3rd time this has happened in as many weeks I emailed London South East to ask why this keeps happening. I received a very polite reply which I am pasting below. The bottom line is that what appears as a sale might not always be one! I think it’s important to point this out as a sea of red might cause people to sell as a consequence or possibly put off potential new investors. In my opinion it’s not a healthy impression for the share price as in at least 3 cases it’s factually incorrect. I appreciate they are providing a useful free service, however it’s worth being mindful of this anomaly. I hope this is helpful.
“We calculate the trade type based on the trade price being higher or lower than the mid price at the time of the transaction. Sometimes this calculation does not work, or the price is the opposite side of the mid price. This means we are either unable to calculate what type of trade this is at all, or the calculation shows it as the wrong type of trade. (a buy instead of a sell for example).”
That was crazy! From being +4% up this morning to closing -4% (an 8% swing). I couldn’t help but buy some more just before closing. Market manipulation at its finest in my opinion. The shorters are not buying my shares …
I’ve been listening in (and currently listening in to the q&a section) to the webcast. I’m so enthusiastic about Ocado’s future. Hearing and visibly seeing what they are achieving together with the vibrant positivity and expertise from all the directors is extremely comforting and confirms my belief in investing in this company. If you haven’t been able to join the webcast I strongly recommend that you watch it at a convenient opportunity. I’m delighted to be a long term shareholder and customer of this cutting edge forward thinking company. Great things are evolving day by day.
If this isn’t the most promising news thus far , I don’t know what is! Merkel is the powerhouse in Europe.
“German Chancellor Angela Merkel has also said fully-vaccinated Brits should be able to go on holiday in Europe without quarantine in the "foreseeable future", and travel restrictions are being reviewed.”
Yet again my additional buy (10,970) today shows as a sell? .. Pleased to read that the grant of options to the directors have been satisfied and at 18p per share in liu of a 40% reduction in salaries it more than underpins the attractive current share price in my opinion. In addition to the completion of Edinburgh the company is in a good position going forward. Looking forward to seeing the doors of Safestay hostels opening across Europe. Whilst some of the countries are imposing quarantine restrictions on us brits I’m confident that the European countries without restrictions will be able to fill the bed spaces. Positive cash flow will of course follow. Just my personal thoughts and the reasons why I keep increasing my position. Wishing my fellow investors the very best.
You’re welcome VP.
Whilst relatively new to this board I’m not new to the share. It was only a matter of time before we went back above 2000 and of course it’s never nice to see your existing holdings drop in value. That said I took full advantage of the drop at various increments as did others. I enjoy seeing the shorters suffer if I’m honest when the SP retraces upwards. I only ever look for long positions as I have to believe in the companies I invest in and want to see them succeed. The legal cases will get I believe resolved. I have followed their progress very closely with access to them via law 360. Tim Steiner and his team are extremely intelligent forward thinking people and my faith in them has never faltered.
Ocado is unique and it’s only a matter of time before we see the share price rebound to it’s all time highs, then exceed those levels in my opinion. I truly want everyone who holds stock to benefit from their investment. I value your input enormously VP.
Thank you VP and others for your insightful posts and highlighting new ventures that Ocado has ventured into.
Here’s hoping that the positive momentum keeps on rolling. We hit 2070 earlier , then a bit of a sell off by the looks of it. Now on a second upward trajectory for the day. I’m not interested in selling anytime soon …
The journey continues.
Thank you for your kind words Valueplay. Yes you are absolutely right… I haven’t met a miserable one yet! It’s good to know that you share the same thoughts and experiences. They are the face of Ocado and it instills confidence in me when I see people are happy. Yes we are all here to make money but life has a much bigger meaning than just the pound note. Especially so over the past year.
So far so good today (thankfully) and I think we are all waiting and anticipating the return of the 2000p plus level!
I always value your input VP. Have a beautiful day one and all and here’s to many more blue days ahead :)
Just wanted to share this with you all. It’s nothing to do with the share price directly but I felt it’s important that I give the human side to the company that we are invested in. I’ve just had a delivery from Ocado and had a longer than usual chat with the delivery guy. He absolutely loves his job and said it’s the best company to work for. He’s been there since 2017 and said the company treat him exceptionally well. He actually said it’s not like working when you go into a job every day that you truly enjoy. He said the company benefits are outstanding. All this from a guy who’s been a teacher and a policeman previously. Now if that testimony doesn’t give each and every one of us faith that we are invested in a company that truly cares about its staff I don’t know what will! For me it’s important that I feel a sense of ease and comfort in a business/company that treats its team members well. Huge respect to this gentleman and huge respect to the management and directors of Ocado. Onwards and upwards we will go!
That’s strange. The trade this afternoon for 19512 shares shows as a sale when in fact it was a buy. Only reason I can say that with certainty is I was the buyer! Buying in anticipation of positive news from our government tomorrow that there will be some beneficial effects on foreign travel. Whether that’s regrading the traffic light system or the 2 jabs and go/return or a few more European destinations going green where SSTY has presence I’m obviously unsure. The share price has taken a bit of a pounding over the past few weeks and I personally feel it’s a good opportunity to add to my holding. I guess time will tell. Either way I’m in this one for the long play as I feel it’s undervalued as I’ve previously stated. Let’s hope we get some positive travel news tomorrow for everyone’s sake (not just shareholders). Have a good evening one and all.
Hi XBB2008… snap! I bought into this today (my first entry) at almost the exactly same time as you at the same price!
It’s a share I’ve been watching for quite some time and it just seemed too good an opportunity to miss. I hope it does well for us both and all the other investors too.
What a beautiful morning my fellow investors!
It’s only a matter of time before we re enter the 2000p range..holding tight.
Who else loves the “There’s an Ocado just for you” radio jingle?!
Thank you Valueplay and others for your noteworthy positive comments over the past couple of weeks..I appreciate you all.
Have a lovely day and a great week ahead.
Definitely a strange and somewhat disappointing day for us all especially after the SP got it’s mojo back yesterday. I couldn’t see any logical reason for the drop so I ended up buying another sizeable bundle just before the close of play as it just seemed too cheap not to. I didn’t get in at the very bottom, but at £19.29 which seemed pretty respectable. Trading volume was fairly low at 50% of the daily average from what I can see. Holding holding holding.
Does anyone have any thoughts for today”s drop? (Neil; please don’t bother)
I always appreciate VALUEPLAY”s and other fellow active investors opinions.
I hope everyone is well.
You’re welcome Hops.. that’s a tidy holding. I’m confident that your strategy will reap you very healthy rewards. Wishing you the best with your investment and it’s a pleasure to interact with you. Stay safe and well. Regards..Mr Hold.
