...so you've closed your 157 position (nice profit by the way), but you've still got all the rest (including the 139p) open?

Just 2 pennies..... that's all.... not asking for much. Come on 158p!

KewJosh sold his 40trillion short and the share price has shot up.

...3 and a half pennies.... come on RR! 158p close!

No, it's ridiculous and the majority on here can see that but no need to start name calling.

You did well to get 144p yesterday.

Really annoyed that a modern bank like Barclays can't do instant transfers between Barclays accounts!
Cost me 2p a share yesterday by the time it had transferred over.

And no, before anyone asks, I'm not keeping money in my Smart Investor Saver account.... it doesn't pay enough.

Be nice boys.... no need for the hostility against KewJosh. He's got a different take in investing in RR. He's not killed your cat.

.... just another 5 and a half pence needed for that 158p finish..... come on Rolls Royce, you can manage that!

"I started at 139, added at 141, 146, 148 and doubled my position at 157."

I think they want to know your average Josh.... if you put equal amounts into 139, 141, 146, 148 but then doubled up at 157, my estimate is your average is 152.50..... but I'm a cat with no fingers to count on.

"I have my rules and close it based on that, I cut out the emotion of the money involved. I started at 139, added at 141, 146, 148 and doubled my position at 157."

Well, best of luck to you - it's good to have rules. If it does go down to your sell figure, I'll actually be very happy so I can top up even more.

"Lets be honest if I had listened to any of you guys, I would have closed my short at 157 for a loss"

Let's be honest, if you'd listened to us, you wouldn't have started shorting in the 130's!

I'm guessing it's now breakeven/barely in profit..... which, for a man of your obvious gumption, isn't enough.

You want to win big on this.... and that will probably be your downfall.

"daft he did not sell his short if he had a 1.57 double up at 1.44 , it was always going to go back up so why not make the money"

That's the bit that surprises me. It was clear the drop yesterday saw global, for ALL shares (as you say) - absolutely zero to do with RR.
Why wouldn't any shorter take that as a "get out of jail FREE" card?

"No its still open, doubled up at 157 so still plenty of room, im thinking another week, but will see what happens the rest of the week. I expected a bounce from AUKUS so its all good"

I was convinced you'd take some at 150p.... then when it went to 143p I thought you'd 100% taken a chunk.

Any reason you didn't? I'm guessing a 100% sale at 143-145p gives you break even?

"Wow! 255p, that has to be the highest target yet."

I think I called £7. And I'm better than any broker.

"Didn't think of selling but did grab a few more at 144.15p yesterday."

Good price Tommy, bearing in mind the current upward trend.

Day one (MONDAY) was a pile of crap - I guess you can't get Wordle in one and then expect to call the closing SP.

Todays (TUESDAY) looking better:

"2) Tuesday - News crosses the pond that Biden and Albanese have built a three person bed and invited Sunack to be in the prime middle position. 158p finish."

COME ON 158p!

I tried top up more at 145p, but Barclays are crap and it takes 15-20 minutes for transfer from Barclays account to Barclays Smart Investor account (go figure!).

Managed to deal at 147p.

I stand corrected - I'll update my system. Still showing as a UT.

I'm not seeing it as a buy.

"Your prediction this morning doesn’t have legs unless the banks financial sector worries die down and show signs of recovering. Tricky to make predictions at the moment until that situation calms down."

It was an over reaction of the UK MMs monitoring the US Furtures, namely the S&P.

As usual, the US have sorted their nest out - shame we had already closed.

If you're on Twitter, have a look at this guy if you're as interested as me in US markets: @RobinBrooksIIF

He stated in perfectly today:
"Don't get caught up in doomscrolling. S&P 500 is up around 0.5% as of now. Markets recognize - correctly - that SVB is a micro- and not a macro-story. It changes little about the trajectory of the US economy, which is the same as it was a week ago. Recession is NOT imminent..."

156p close tomorrow.
