@ MR T. Thanks, will take a look at these.

So many stocks and so little money to spread around :)

@mushyd thanks, will definitely take a look and do some research on this one. Any fundamentals I should be aware of? Any news due / obvious reason to spike?

Cheers

Afternoon all,

@ jewels - appreciate all of these companies "could" fail at anytime, but that in my opinion is life right. It's a crap market and unprecedented for many, but life is slowly starting to return to a new norm, the stock market will always recover long term; sure some companies will go bankrupt and others will flourish.

For me, I have different amounts in different holdings, larger sums in one's I'm more comfortable with and less in my "gambles".

For me personally, since C-19 I've turned more into a part time trader rather than an Investor, I've managed to go from a 40% loss on my portfolio from lockdown to a 0.4% profit on Thursday by jumping in on stocks I feel I can make a quick profit on (with 1 - 10 days) and then turn these around.
Unfortunately Friday was a pain, took 6% of my portfolio, so really hoping Mon is a good day to chip back at that loss and get my overall portfolio back in the blue.

Totally understand your thoughts on many of these companies such as INTU and banks, but for me these stocks are the ones that are making me money, INTU last week if you had bought and sold over the course of those 5 days would have made you between 60 - 70% depending upon when you sold. Even buying on the 22nd and still holding after yesterday's huge drop would have given you a 25/30% rise, sure long-term there's issues, but it's all about the short term at the moment, LAM and CINE have done the same yet are all worlds apart industry wide - trying to spread risk on different sectors.
Bank's are pretty poor at the moment but profits can still be made.

I guess what everyone wants to know is where to put our money, where is safest, where we can make good returns with little risks; questions not many can answer. Even Warren Buffet gets it wrong, selling all his airline stock at a loss!

I guess not every company will go bust and the rewards that can be obtained in a market like this should outweigh the risks as long as the risk is spread over different companies band sectors, worse case you're holding stock for many years before getting even.

Money won't grow in banks at the moment, commodities are a different ball game, shorting has its risks, bonds and futures out of my league.

Out of interest, where would you look to invest? As a novice I like to listen to everyone's opinions and then to make my own call, another reason I registered on here to get others opinions, we've all got the same goal after all.

Morning,
A few ideas based on what I'm personally in.

Lam - up 170% last couple of weeks, retraced, has good potential, market capt is less than cash in bank and no debt as of march!

Intu - owns shopping centres including, Trafford centre and lakeside. Loads of debt, but huge potential upside based on current price!

RBS - fancied this over HSBC, too much going on with US and China. Although HSBC could be a great punt as well.

Cine - done well the last week, lots of upside, good RNS about financials and well below value, also deal to buy Cineplex still on table.

SSPG - once travel opens again should rocket up, nice low price sub £3

GVC - online gambling, loads of additional business since lock down, owns Ladbrokes, will reopen next few weeks in high streets, very much undervalued, also flutter and William hill stocks are looking interesting as a comparison.

LGEN - this one's been up and down for me, should be good long term

SLA - had bigger loses with this since the lockdown, although was making nice progress before yesterday, one to watch.

AV - Aviva seems to be one of my worse performers, not quite sure why it's that bad, spoke to a friend the other week that is consulting for them and he told me I did bad to invest in them as they have loads of debt! I'll hold for the foreseeable.

AMGO - bought this yesterday on a 8% drop, been watching this for weeks and seems a fun day trading type stock. Seems they are in a bid situation so might get takeover and a nice price on sale, a risk for sure though.

GKP - oil.. potential upside on this one, brokers recommend a buy a few weeks back and TP of 210 from around 70.. we shall see, I've held this for a while and is my biggest failure, even at 210 I'm still gonna be down on this one.

So there's a few ideas from my end. I'm currently looking at a few ideas, although after the hike earlier in week I feel I've missed a good entry price.

Airlines, rather easyJet over IAG, potentially Ryanair as they recovered quickest back in 2009.

Aston Martin I thought about when it's was dropping daily and on its way sub 30, missed the spike on this and will look to see if retraces, still big debt issues there holding it back.

HSBC - maybe, still not certain on that punt.

US stocks, casinos MGM, LVS and WYNN, should rise nicely and Vegas looking to reopen 4/6.

Anyway, all my opinion, always dyor :)

GLA

@ MRTROTTER - Let's hope we see a nice 325 next week then, Very unfortunate today's big drop after you bought yesterday - I feel your pain, done it myself.

GLA

@nebanlon 276 was around what I topped up at- wish I’d had the foresight to enter my position there!
@JH - If only we all had a Crystal Ball we'd be laughing right, the amount of trades i've done since the C-19 Lockdown, and its almost a certainty - I'll watch, wait and buy low.. hour later.. I could have got it better :)

However, its not all doom and gloom, had some good wins the last few weeks, some just need that little bit of luck..
Alhough the market is bonkers ATM. I bought into LAM 13/5 - if i had waited one extra day would have avoided the 16% drop. Thankfully the next 5/6 days this stock rocket and I was up 170% in a week! didnt sell - Greedy... retraced.. Today went up 20%, thought all good.. ended 2.5% down!!

This market is madness... and that was one of many examples.

Today is my first day invested in RR - lets hope next weeks a winner

GLA

I held out and waited for a decent entry point, missed the 10% drop so held out for it to drop again after thinking i missed my chance as it started to recover. Grabbed some @ 286 thinking that was the low.. next minute it was in the 270's range!

I can always guarantee that whenever I buy, its 90% never the low!!!

Anyway, lets hope next week we see this flourish to 310 - 325 Range.

GLA

What's the news with the "Bid Situation"?
Likely takeover? not really read up too much on the latest, always thought it was a good buy before i noticed that.

I know what you mean, but don't fear.. I'm a novice Investor to say the least.

I was 40% down on my Portfolio when the markets crashed due to C-19, slowly i have made progress by doubling down on shares that have lost large %'s., reduced my liability on these and got better weighted costs.

I have also been playing the markets buying and selling making a quick buck here and there and as off yesterday I had made back the 40% loss and was 0.4% UP!! :)

Although today, I am 2.5% down again.. So swings and roundabouts.

Been looking to get in on Amigo and when i saw that 10% drop went for it, although by the time I got my trade in, it was only 7% down.

Anyway, keep the faith - the market long term will always rise up; just don't put too many eggs in one basket, although I made back my 40% loss, i still have stock in my portfolio that are 40% and 65% down!!

GLA

Never doubted it :)

Will we see 8 now? Questions is, when to sell and take a profit, after all the company still has issues to resolve.

Morning,

Seems we are moving back in the right direction, well done to all those that held, the question is how high will we go? We have the obvious issue of the Bond holders come June and I fear that the Shopping centres will be far from busy after the first week of opening. Read two articles yesterday referencing the new measures to be put into place by INTU both at TC and Lakeside.

DHC - I see you on CINE Board, seems another stock we both own and have done well on (depending upon your entry point) - wonder where else we are both invested and winning this week :)

GLA

We can but hope Tuesday is a good day, after all 5 days either at the top or in the Top 10 Risers on FTSE was a nice run.
Ironically today we are bottom of the list, thankfully i have 2nd in the list "INTU" although a gamble if ever there was one!

Top of the list MARS - Is that the new LAM? or are the pubs opening tonight? :)

Going south now..

Just stuck a Sell limit for 24! active for a week.. Help yourselves :)

Spread seems to have closed to 0.40.. Lets hope for a last 15 minute rally

Well LAM is slowly rising, majority of my other stocks were all RED this AM and most of yesterday, they have all gone BLUE except LAM and one oil stock <1%.
Could be a good afternoon esp leading up to a Bank Holiday.
I think even if LAM ended 5% down, might be worth a sell and buy back in next week sub 20?

Let's hope so.. Soon as the US Markets open I am hoping for a influx of Buys, although we may see a shed load of sells.. if only we had a crystal ball :)

It's been a good 6 days on this stock, the question I guess is.. do we sell and take a profit - currently I'm on 120% UP.. or do we hold for the longer game?

Always a shame when you are 200% up and then the stock retraces, human greed is saying "where is my 200% return", when a week ago would have been more than happy with a 100% return!

It's madness this has been top share for 3 days and was in the list for the 4th.

https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/risers-and-fallers/risers-fallers.html

This Run cannot last forever, although I'm sure we all wish it could.

Are we realistically going to see 30p before then end of the month, or do we think there will be a retrace in the stock back to the 15p levels?

Bought in one week ago at 9.04 - Shame i did not wait one more day as last Thursday was a big drop.HL showing the spread a little strange - Shortness of Shares?Sell: 20.00p | Buy: 20.00p | up8.40p (72.41%)

wonder how high this will go? sure there is going to profit takers which must drop us a little?

Sain,

The Bondholders are showing a strong hand by bringing in one of the best Law Firms in the UK to represent them - this is agreed. I just wonder how long this will take for the whole case to be completed., would there be a need for this to go to court?
Historically I have held shares in companies that have had court battles and these take years, by then INTU would be worth 50p a share!..

For the lawyer's, it doesn't matter what side they emerge out of the battle, they get paid regardless, they work on billing by time, not by Commission . And yes CC are one of the biggest in the World, but there are many others in the Legal "Magic Circle" that can take them down a peg or two!
