O, jellyfish wars, bit like the old days of cod wars.
Still you made me laugh, not easy at moment!
And anyway how many spined jellyfish you know?

Hi, everyone posts have been getting a bit thin on the ground. Still V, O and N have been holding things up at least. I need to trail back through things as have been busy working and on other things. Shares have been up and down but quite well up this week which is good.
Hope everyone is okay, including the absent friends. And hope things have been going well for your investments and wish you all a good weekend.

Morning everyone, was walking dog a littel earlier and it was a beautiful day, now I look out and it is gloomy.
Let's hope that's not a sign for my portfolios which I haven't looked at yet!
My tech US shares all down this week mainly Intel and AMD, I might have bought back a few AMD which I sold some at 111, but after exchange rate even though 101 they were effectively little different. BB. in similar situation.
Bit disappointing that, but really have no money to do anyway, would have had to dip into savings proper to finance.
Heard about Wetherspoons on R4 earlier N, thought that did not sound good.
Nothing much else happening, still not sold ENT, am uncertain whether to hang on for a bit (more).
Perhaps todays viewing will bring some joy, will see soon.
Good day everyone.

Evening everyone, it is the end of the week. Today knocked a bit off my fairly good values gained this week.
Haven't done any trading at all, had chance to take profits on BB. and ENT, missed highs on both and still sat on.
Not exactly intentionally just not had time to consider and sell!
N I think I would be happy with even one day trade as long as it was profitable, I just cannot get into them despite hanging around this board. Your post made me think do you guys have level 2 so you watch instantaneous prices. I have never bothered not seeing it as an advantage or good for my eyesight.
Oh well that's another week over, hope you all had a good one.
F1 weekend, another Max and Lewis crash maybe? Would be nice if they don't and we see a race!

Did okay today I have a chunk of ENT which with a few lesser successes made up losses and a bit, over yesterday.
Still no money to invest, maybe sell some Entain to finance, but waiting a bit to see where it ends up.
Good night and luck for tomorrow everyone.

Good evening, shares well down, but slightly better than worst point today. My portfolio much worse than wifes so a bit more levelling up going on here even if accidental.
Did not buy any Intel as found only had £180 spare cash left in ii account as i had spent most of it on regular investments last week.
That's it from me as work now for 3 days and not so much time for watching shares fall.
Have a good week

Morning N even though it is afternoon. Did not want to leave you alone in the posting game, though not much to say. My portfolios are getting hammered quite a bit same as you. Am hoping things don't turn more ugly. Have very little left to invest too, might get some INTC this afternoon if they drop a bit, but that will be all till I can sell something.
Yeah where is everybody, T has not posted for over a week, he was always the most definite and reliable for a morning briefing. m has been quiet for a long time I like his humour am missing that. I think O, V and S are sporadic, so about I guess? Maybe they are recovering from a hectic weekend. Still I am here!!!!!

Morning weekend weather worked out pretty nice after all, a chance to get on with autumn preparations in the garden, mainly hedgecutting.
Max and Lewis messed up again, so McClaren had a 1 2 which was good, shame not Norris winning, still. Emma Raducanu great win, and almost feeling sorry for Djokovic after his defeat! And Ronaldo scoring 2 goals on return, good weekends sport.
S DNLM divivdend going ex is a special 65p, they also have a div atr 23p going ex next month, so are paying out handsomely.
N I generally would not sell when shares fall that I expedcted and still expect to go up. But hanging on means you can't do anything else to you get that rise, which can be long!
Yellow Cake going crazy today, would have liked to have time to build up a bigger piece of that cake so am pleased but wish it had been steadier. Nice week everyone

Hi all, I feel I should write something but don't have much to report.
I started work at this little specialist college this week, which was okay. What they do is take what are termed "challenging" kids from local schools and give them some tuition in work type things, like motor mechanicking, construction etc. etc. The schools never sent us the students in the main, so it was a week of sitting around and assessing previous work and planning for this term. As it is largely practical that we like to deliver this does not take lots of time so it was a bit boring. Next week should be full steam ahead so hopefully will be better, more interesting, and hopefully not too "challenging".
Not much done on shares, portfolios' have drifted down this week. Not sure I have had many disasters though or stunners either. Still catching up as I am doing on your chat.
Good weekend everyone, I will be watching some F1 and that super tennis player Emma Raducanu, weather looking like it won't be all that..

Morning, weather still seems a little grey, though it should be better soon.Shares up a little.
I bought some HTG this morning, probably as a long term, but will see.
Well done N on FOG and EUA you seem to be having a good run which is nice.
Best for today and week to everyone

Afternoon, things looking pretty much even stevens for my shares today unless we have a late swing.
Market bearing out the neither here nor thereness you all have been alluding to.
Bought some more BAN.MI for you to add to companies you have never heard of. It's Basic Net on Milan which owns Superga, Kappa and few others, I am hoping for it to become fashionable, who knows, not a 67yo git probably.
It's in my wifes portfolio which is lagging well behind mine, they were pretty even 2-3 years back and despite putting more money into Stana's there is now a big gap. Mine up maybe 60-70% and hers perhaps 30-35%. So am piling in a bit more and concentrating investing in hers to even things up, hopefully she will catch me up rather than I fall into her clutches. Have I done that before, was it a good idea? Maybe!
Anyway can see some blue sky from the window, so maybe take the dog for a walk.
Am returning to work at a little college in Slough next week for 3 days as a cover one of the other teachers has gone missing, having mixed feelings, but hoping it will be good for me.
Good evening to you all.

Morning, another pretty gloomy day weatherwise. I suppose it's Autumn almost.
P/f's looking good so far up 1% or so.
Might buy some Intel later to keep my transatlantic holdings at a level, have sold some BB. and AMD.
Not much else in idea's at moment, but as things have been fairly steadily going up don't necessarily need to many bright idea's to lose money on. Was thinking maybe some RR.
Nice day everyone

Evening all as dixon might say.
N, I read UK likely to hold on 3rd vax till more evidence and then maybe only do the vulnerable over 50's. We'll have to wait and see.
So Afghanistan is finally over for the US, now just the Afghans left to sort things out and maybe the odd stray Pen left. It seems such a mess.
GP was a wash out literally, shame as George Russel starting 2nd might have produced some fireworks. Also Lando starting from pits would have been interesting as he had been so quick till his crash. I was looking forward to it.
Sold my recent dip into BB. at a reasonable profit, still have a holding and it may yet go higher. Yellow cake had a good day and a few others too. So overall a little up.
Have had an earache for a week now, getting fed up with it. Weather has been crap too.
Things can only get better, maybe!

Morning, another reasonable start to the day for my portfolio's.
I sold off a few MKS the other day, kind of wish i hadn't now, but am still on a selling roll.
That makes me think about Charlie Watts, on R4 this morning they said Keith Richards said that Stones were a rock band, and Charlie was the roll.
I was still at school when Let it Bleed came out, what an album still an all time favourite, and the first I bought. I used to play the intro to Gimme Shelter incessantly on on our old radiogram.
Missed a good rise on BB. last night, was doing tax returns, would have sold some had I seen, hopefully won't be to late today.
Well done on ABDX, V. I remember now when I looked at them they actually weren't from nearby Abingdon but somewhere else entirely. Wasn't exactly why I didn't buy but maybe?
Ah well back to the tax, done mine which was simple as I did practically no income work, just the wife's to sub now. I actually ended up with a chunky rebate being due, as I withdrew some pension.
Nice day, all.

Did someone on here not have ABDX, I noticed that went bonkers yesterday. Good if someone did, I live near Abingdon so it was one of those things I thought maybe I'll get some, never did though!

Morning all, quite cool here and cloudy, I thought we were supposed to be getting bak to summer? Cloud is thin though so maybe will soon improve.
N no broker I have used does much more than straightforward sell and buy orders. It is an interesting idea, as I sometimes do similar trading stage by stage.
Another good start today after Asia doing well overnight.
I am still looking to sell I think, my targets being mainly BB. and INVP and then anything else I can I think the term is topslice!
I wish you all a good day.

Hello everyone, not such a bad day for my shares today. Week though a different story, big losses yesterday and some before. Still overall not as bad as it might have been. MKS done well for me today.
Did not do any selling this week or much buying either. Was going to sell some MKS at one point but never did luckily. Bought bb. just a few to top up and sell if there is a shoot up. Also bought a few top ups on regular investing.
My mum has improved this week too, better she is up than my shares.

You have 3 oil stocks, so I might start by selling a couple of them. PSX maybe 1st as US market is kinda higher than UK. Lucky dip then for Shell or BP. Might be worth hanging in there with IAG but also might not! Lloyds you have done well on and AML, so why sell them? You should maybe check on ex dividend and announcement dates for bit more timing of decisions!

I meant to say it's 74 years since Brentford were in Div 1 which was the main point of the coincidence that they have the same opponents as the last match they played in top div, so there it is!

Hi everyone, good week I hope for you all.
Steady week for my shares and a difficult week for me as my 93 year old mum is unwell.
Still she has made it through so far, but it is hard for her now and not so much of a life at all.
It's a big job caring for your parent/s, I am glad we have taken it on, but it's tough in ways you don't imagine!

Anyway life goes on, I have done a little more selling this week some CPI I bought a few weeks back as a day trade, for a month trade more like still made a sensible profit.
Then today sold 10% of my AV. a long term hold that has a quite high (for me) overall value, so looking to realign things, maybe.
Premiership football back tonight will be interested in Brentfords 1st match against an old foe in the Arse. It's funny how things go, last time Brentford in top div their last match was against Arsenal. Good luck to them tonight, though I have 2 Arsenal players in my fantasy side.
Might buy some BB. tonight have placed a little order but price not quite achieved yet. Was thinking about the HOOD, but that has now gone up, hopefully enough for you T, so anyway have left for now.
Good weekend everyone, test match and football to watch, should be good, though work to do in the test.
Was listening to BOO CEO either today or I think yesterday. They are trying to get a more favourable appearance as far as throwaway fashion and employee care goes, and addressing both. Better late than never but time will tell whether they can convince.
