O ... wasn't the Admiral Benbow you were at?
Was there a bloke in the corner with a wooden leg, dodgy place that not surprising it was quiet.

Morning, dull weather preceding what looks to be a dull day. Hard to define anything yet.
N ... you maybe should keep your hopes up for ABF, clothes sales were up 70% in April, and even a small drop in online from 34% to 30%. Surely that should mean it was good month for Primark?
Waiting for reaction from INVP, in vain by the looks of it!
Have a good day everone

m .. my wife has no idea what am doing with her shares (and her money...which she tries to spend before I can invest it)!
I would not treat anything said here as advice... haha!!
I am not a young folks and no longer in FE when I knew what such stuff might been when directed at me, so had to ask daughter about Rofl?
N I did ISA investing transf. recently ironically wifes again, took what seemed forever certainly was 5-6 weeks. From EQI to interactive.

Another UK day ended, been reasonably good for me.
CWR coming back a good bit, INVP shaping up like it might have been a good idea, several long termers putting on 2 or %.
C ... TSCO not fallen all that much, not even dividend equiv. yet, will see if it holds tomorrow, I kept my (wifes) holding intact so am hoping for opposite to you. Also have CNA and VOD in wifes p/f, it's where I stick all my csdi's. Am at a loss what to do with CNA, am thinking VOD is a good bet to come back though and added a little.
My US stuff looking alright AMD and BB (Canadian almost us) and Xiaomi my HK foray done good too.

Sold BARC from my short term trading fund at no profit at all. Bought Investec at just under 290.
INVP have upped guidance for results to be announced tomorrow.
Doesn't seem to have been that much of a reaction to that, am hoping will be tomorrow when full figures are out.
Was going nowhere with the BARC on this short term anyway.
Still have long term holding on BARC in wifes p/f. undecided on what I will do with that, despite advice from T and my own wish to sell more significant amounts.

Morning, grey day here and everywhere damped up when walking the dog.
Decided to risk adding a few more Vodafone, hope for either a quick return, or more likely hang on for div and see where it goes from there. Had to decide between VOD and TWD as only enough for one of, I wonder if TWD has further to fall, I'll see if this was good idea in due course.
Nothing else to report, Trainline has had a bit of a bounce and could have been good for a quick profit, still not really me that sort of stuff.
I guess only hope for them now is if the Make Great Bitish Rail Again wants to buy them for their website, goodwill etc.

Not a great day for me though it was worse mid afternoon. Only DNLM properly up although AMD is doing okay in US.
Took some CWR and VOD post falls in my regular invests on interactive.
ANTO came back a little late on but has been a disaster for my daughters little portfolio last 3 days.
O .. I am still in N91 which is going along nicely with a reasonable dividend am happy with it.
FGP hanging in there, still hoping for the special div.
Nice evening everybody,
n the zlob

One more thing to mention. I recently transferred a portfolio from EQI to ii, it was an ISA and took a while, it was a pain. There are times in this process where you cannot trade as things are not always aligned. In the end it was all sorted out and okay but was not easy on the mind. I suspect this is the same most platforms so just be aware it will not be speedy.
Maybe if you not in an ISA will be better?

I use interactive investors, which is if you pay subs 19.99 a month UK trades are 3.99, you get 1st 2 free, other trades are cheap too. I am sure there are more out there similar fee's. You can pay less subs at ii and pay more for trades, you have plan options.
I worry about some platforms that claim to be free, but perhaps they are.
I looked at Fineco recently and though I can't remember what it was something was too complicated about it, I think as it was not UK based. But look at them before you decide it might just have been me.
The last tab on this site shown as trading, has many brokers listed with an idea of what they charge, so is worth a look.

Looks like my mistake in buying Dunelm instead of ENT is paying off. I don't need to do all this research and agonising, just a pin and the index I reckon.

Antofagusta has continued to fall, not sure what thats all about!
Annoying as I had intended to top slice it several times and then not done so.
Copper prices and demand still good?

Morning everyone, nice bright morning here in south Oxfordshire.
Did not do anything sharewise yesterday other than prepare and set up for the monthly regular investments which go out today on interactive today. Did my usual which is top up 2/3 of the smaller holdings I want to increase and pick one of my biggest losers (spoilt for choice here) to do a small average down on. It may not make good sense but it kinda works for me, at least satisfies my need for figures neatness.
T the Hong Kong figure is from yesterday, they were closed on public hols last night.
Good luck for today, not sure it will be a good one?

On the point of the world covid maybe upsetting the markets. It worries me, last time it seemed to take forever for a reaction, seems may be same now. I doubt we will quite see the crash like March 2020 but I guess a W is still possible even though it will be mishaped bit like my writing.
Have to go to Milton Keynes shortly pick up daughter who is returning from Glasgow after finishing uni. Have to say to you all if you have children coming up for university you can do a lot worse than Glasgow, Matilda has loved it. The city, the university and the life even though this last year has been tough. it was better i think finishing in it all rather than starting like those poor students who began in 2020

Hello everyone, good weekend I enjoyed Leicester winning the FA cup! Weather could have been better but was okay most of time.
Have not done much today, some click and collect then researching some dead ends and maybe's.
Just bought some TWD which I am a bit later than ideal on, only got £475 leaving me room to average down if falls back at all, will probably build if it keeps going up.
Thanks T for advice on selling, have not done it yet but may well go with BARC as I have no better reasons to sell and your point is good.
I am think of getting some Williams-Sonoma a us company, I really like the stuff done by west elm which they own. Their price has gone up hugely on good results recently so I have to think on it before diving in as may not continue?
Mixed day for me, am liking the steady progress of FGP, but not liking the fall from grace of CWR, or come to that ANTO, though ANTO has had a good run overall. Will buy some CWR in regular invest day in ii, on Weds, risking a one-er!
Not a terrible day but hope you all did better!

Pretty good day here for me and passive investing.
CWR and BB recovering well, MKS going strong ready to swap into SBRY, maybe. FGP slowly getting there. Lots of other long termers doing well.
My personal ISA at all time high!
Good weekend everyone, no F1 but some football, hard to call cup final, both teams been in good form. I think I'd like Leicester but Chelsea are my local team in London, though you'd never catch me there! Well only when my team are visiting, which isn't often from league one (maybe even championship as in play offs)

Good afternoon, I am not buying anything right now don't have much shares money to hand.
I need to sell some stuff. a to get some money and as I have far too many different shares. I run 3 and a bit portfolio's. My ISA, my wife Stana's ISA and my daughter matilda's ISA, the bit is the remnants of my original portfolio which is less than £1k now. I once tried to stick to 8 shares in p/f's and 5 in Matilda's as it is much smaller. I now have 39 different shares, 20 in my ISA which is getting out of control. So I need to consolidate and sell some off, to maybe 10 as I saw suggested here in each p/f. I am handing over Matilda's p/f to her as she finishes university this year, so it's a bit of a graduation present.
I am rubbish at selling so this could be a long drawn out process ... I am already bored just writing this out, let alone doing it.
That TWD I mentioned briefly the other day has done well, I have not bought any of course.
What I might do is present you with some choices to sell and then you can pick your favourites.
What might you make of BARC, AV., INVP or LSEG ... don't feel under any obligation to go along with this, but if you have opinion I will value it.

Wow, that's some turn round, minus £2600 earlier to -£47 now and may well be in profit before day is out.

Morning, been out this morning to Oxford taking wife for 2nd vaccination. That's us as a household all complete now. at least for now as next will be boosters.
Saw O's post early this morning before I went and that was enough to warn of today's continuing losses, which again look to be in thousands. When did I get into a world where I would lose thousands in a day and not really bat an eyelid?
I started investing in early 2008 and I remember waking up in Oct/Nov and thinking what have I done with what was then all my families money. I was horrified, now I maybe have a bit of a knot in my stomach but just accept tings. I suppose you know it will all come back, only problem is sometimes you think will it be in my lifetime (not really being morbid ... its just how it is). Anyway hopefully will survive this blip, hopefully only a blip.
One share I have owned on and off since 2008 and has done be well is Alumasc. that is my only properly green share today, and in that process has become my largest holding passing PUMA. So thankyou ALU for the bright spot in this cloudy rainy day. Good luck this afternoon to you all and me!

Overall another loss making day for me. Although the north American AMD and BB's have pushed me into the loss. Their day not ended yet! Without them it is break even, loss in my ISA balanced by wifes and daughters gains. FGP looking promising. CWR looking a bit sad.
The others here and there. Need a good day tomorrow to cheer me up and also to be able to sell something for some funds to reinvest in some better shares.
Maybe N's idea of calling me small n is the way to go. K or Kev for Kevin are okay, but small n could be easier, maybe?
Big N, most PB idea's have not bought through them.Hhave waited and bought on market so I am in control of amount and price and have shares right way etc.. There usually is a time in the week after PB offer where price is almost the same and sometimes less.

That's bigger special div, i do really need to watch my typing.
