Member Info for NettlesTheCat

"Nett, I may be mistaken but I don’t think there was a UT after the price trade , on the 4 million. Apologies if wrong."

I wasn't being intentionally rude.... the large numbers after hours you are quoting are UT. They are a combination of buys and sells.

What is clear, is that this board is full of amateurs.

Tomaaa/CWW - this is a RR board, not a place to spread socialist ideas about things you don't know about.

Fitzy66 - look up "after hours UT (uncrossing trades)"

Adamski/GarryGraham - don't look at Google for a closing price, it's always wrong. Look here instead:

The only thing any of us got right today was by me, calling this a close at 155p......

Hail KewJosh!

.... I hope you all topped up at 145p.

... (bound to happen at some time I guess).

So here is my predictions this week.

1) Monday - RR get's a lovely green day today, earning back a lot of what it lost Friday - finished around the 155p mark.

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.

3) Wednesday - Understanding that any other 'rogue' banks holding tiny percentage bonds will be snapped up by the larger banks so all investors deposits are safe and creditors and cool.... finish 159p.

4) Thursday - Salmon for me tonight! 161p close.

5) Friday - feel good week finished with Gary Lineker being back on the TV and the BBC amend their ridiculous impartiality rules to say "....only opinions broadcast whilst operating as a BBC representative are privy to our draconian rules".

165p close this week!

....also, at some point, Kew et al will say they sold a bunch at 150p and made huge profits...... then they will say they tripped up at 160p and ".....this will definitely retrace to 130p".

Good luck all - it will be a very eventful week.

"Investorhog, in what way a 'bloodbath'?"

He must mean for shorters.

"I'm expecting an absolute shares bloodbath this morning ... happy to be wrong, but could represent further buying opportunities later"

???? Why ???

*S&P Futures!

S&P currently 1.89% up.

This could be a ridiculous day.

I think this may be sensationalism, although I could be wrong.

Last time I had any involvement with a tender opportunity, it was a given that one particular company was going to to get the work but the company offering the tender had to be seen to be giving other companies the opportunity to submit bids.

Just wondering if this is 'due process' and actually a good sign that the government are finally entering a stage where they are about to submit orders for potential SMRs.

Just an idea.

"Keep watching your profits fall today :) ouch"

...Ouch? They're the same price they were last week (which is a 40% increase in a month) - you would be congratulating RichieRich if you had any sense.

Very true HappyZone - today is a day for chasing snowballs.

"@ nettles, finally one human being with common sense`"

I'm a cat. Clue is in the name.... "NettlesTheCat". ;-)

"Ok fine lets see what happens Friday and next week"

Today's most probably going to be a red day for most stocks - next week and the week after will be the test to see if this continues to rise, or retraces.

"Thats why I didnt go all on at 139 Nettles..."

Now I'm afraid you are just trying to save face.... we all saw your comments of how this won't hit 150p or 160p and will retrace as 'it always does'.

I give up.

"Still early days Nettles, nobody was going to tell me I was right to start shorting at 139"

That's not correct - most of us here have a bit more knowledge than you're obviously giving us credit for. There have been great times to buy, and great times to get rid of this share, and most on here will be honest enough to tell you that.

You shorting at 139p when the LTH here could only see this going towards 160+ was the mistake you made and we all told you that. That's why I hoped you hadn't put your none crying kids inheritance on it.

You may get your retrace, but the way you've played has left you wide open to a big loss.

"If I listened to everyone when I shorted nettles, I would never make any money, would I?"

Why not? Most of us told you at 139p that you'd made a mistake... I think I said something along the lines of 'a small loss is better than a big loss'. All you've done since then is remain very short sighted and put more money into to keep your 'bet' open, let alone investing more in the sewer.

"cd27idw stop it we dont have any of that talk here, its only the £2 by next week gang, you will instantly go on filter"

Be fair Kew, I think only one or two on here stated that - the rest of us where right with 140p.... 150p... and soon to be 160p.

You had a lot of free advice to stop your silly shorting.

It's a 70bln MCap company come Feb 2025... everything else is fodder.

... reiterating 70p.

Which is funny.

"....his losses must be massive on a leverage account. might be all his pot."

It's a good question Kew - please tell us your not leveraging? Just so we can sleep at night.
