Yep and me. It means HL have decided you cant buy the stock on their platform because someone hasnt given them assurances that its gonna make a sound investment -I think. Never heard of this before and it seems bloody outrageous that I cant buy stock of one I already own because someone else has decided so. Its not like SHED is highly volatile or very tradeable.
The Loon started the rot on both his entrance and exit, Jeremy *unt helped it along and the 'Loss has kept it going. With an underwhelming divi and Starmer and his red battalions polishing their wrecking balls in readiness its hardly likely to be a must have in anyone's portfolio these days. Apart from the possibility of a takeover (and imo not particularly likely) there is not much to anticipate. Its on my list of 'ones to dumo' as the opportunity arises
sorry jrise - thats ******. more to it. have you seen the volume of sales today? 3m. thats a lot. especially with 2 new us facilities coming on stream in the next few months. whoever is selling has more money and less confidence than you and certainly me
I reckon the route is pretty clear. We are at the moment no worse off really than we have been for the rest of this year and the second half of last year. (sp wise). Anybody who was expecting anything much above the update that we got was touting at windmills. We all know what a mess the country is in let alone the housing market and nowt much is going to change until interest rates fall and the housing market picks up which is unlikely to be this year. I listened to the pod cast the other day (for which I always wear my bulls*it filters and deflectors) and to be honest there were a lot of positives to look forward to. I honestly think they are pro active and in a great position to take advantage of the upturn - its just how long that will be and whether my money could be better used elsewhere in the meantime. I did sell quite a lot on the confirmation (rather than news) of the fall in dividend as I think this will deter investors as at the moment dividend hunters seem to be the vogue. and Im in that group. Im not sure that it was the right thing as like you Gingy Im not sure how much the fall back will be and perhaps more importantly whether the sp will start to tick up on anticipation. Once cut though the divi is most unlikely to be restored for some years and thats the big negative for me. I could repurchase and have my previous holding at quite some discount which also appeals.
Thats my musings anyway. Always appreciate those of others - its what the boards are for I guess
GRID and HEIT have acknowledged they cant. What risks do GSF need to acknowledge that they havent already done so and that is not universally understood
One thing for sure there is something not right. GHE is currently up and HEIT are down but less than GSF which last week was supposed to be the one shining light in this sector. Obviously not what the big boys think - but why??

Always struck me as strange on a public chat board saying DYOR. In fact isnt that a bit of an historical thing? Anyone know of anyone getting into trouble for not saying it. I never have and been at it over 30 yrs.
As for shorters. There are none. They would have to have balls of titanium to short GSF at present. Rathbones sold a dollop a month ago so maybe thats made a dent but they still hold plenty - or did. Maybe they have been selling out. I wish I had

its a conundrum for sure. i bet there are investors who sold amazon and who held gec who have different points of view. i wonder if there are any who panicked and sold gec and held their nerve having bought amazon. one thing is for sure - whichever end of the stick i grab its usually the ****ty one :-)

A chance to take out panicking investors - I wish I had a quid for every time Ive heard that before it all went tits down - which is what they are panicking about. No matter what the big time charlies would have you believe fear (if not panic) is a well tried and tested method of protecting your capital if not producing windfalls.
