I said next year, not 30 minutes after my post!

Now 189 :-(

"Anyone thinking this could go lower?"

Yes, sadly, and I have over £80k at 570p average, so down well over £50k.

Decided back in March not to top up at anything above 180p, so I really need this to turn around now as I do not want to get tempted!

AstraZeneca's Oxford Covid-19 vaccine has successfully provoked a strong immune response in human cells, according to a detailed analysis carried out by independent UK scientists, which proves the science behind the jab is working as intended.

My last purchase was June 2019, so have resisted catching more of this falling knife. But at these prices crack in my resistance are starting to appear ...

Any hospitality lockdowns will be very short-lived, probably no more than two weeks. Considering the SP is already quite low any announcement should only cause a slight ripple, which in all probability will be corrected by the end of the day (good opportunity for day traders as downside risk is very low). In the long term, as I cannot see people giving up drinking, there is no way this is going anywhere but up.

"Never quite agreed with that one"

Yep! Have always felt the "it's not a loss until you sell" approach is a bit of a head in the sand way to view things. One makes better decisions by accepting that the value of your portfolio is the value at which it stands right now.

"It’s worse than an aim stock"

The entire market has been behaving like the AIM for most of this year.

"I'm holding £50k @ 319.36p - a pretty nasty position to be in at present."

I'm jealous since I have £80k+ at 570p and am also similarly into RDSB giving a total loss so far of £105k+. However, even though I accept that both may go a lot lower they may also rebound at any time and so I will hold. On the positive side, my investment in BP and RDSB has shrunk so much that this downward drift is affecting my portfolio a lot less these days.

Looking forward to the SP returning to my average of 2662p!

We had a high of 603.2p almost exactly two years ago on 4th October 2018.

The payment date was Friday 25th September but when you actually receive them depends on your broker. Anything more than two working days late is unacceptable in my opinion. As for the amount, you will get 4.0433p per share.

"I haven't received my dividend from Trading 212 yet - have others?"

That's late considering the payment date was Friday 25th September. However, when I was with Barclays they were often up to two working days late. Have never had a late payment with Hargreaves Lansdown but they are not the cheapest broker. Depends what's important to you.

No surprise their numbers are looking good. Glad I got some on the cheap. Now my second largest holding after ULVR. Rock solid in uncertain times.

"Well I called that right for once, next question is when to buy back in..."

ULVR is one of those shares that is so solid that, even though you may get it right trading a few times, over the long term holding and adding is a far better strategy. With an average of 4380 at about 15% of my portfolio it's been a life saver for me, especially considering all the dividends (paid quarterly) received of the years.

zac0_4, Can beat that! Mine's an £80k+ investment at an average of ... drum roll ... £5.70!

Still resisting the temptation to average down. This will bottom out a some point so haven't ruled out buying more.

"Got 60k at an average of 285 ish bought at different stages"

Lucky you. I've got just over £80k at an average of 570!

Earlier this year I cut my losses with Halfords just before the share rocketed. There is no way I would sell at these levels. BP is going to be around for a very long time.

Into positive territory now.

The vaccine is not the only game in town. Moreover, this is routine for vaccine development.

Early drop gives time for top up!
