Scott. I think the use of PB enables you to pay the same price as the institutions as part of the book building process. Whether you can buy cheaper on the market tomorrow is another matter.

WF. You are correct. Unfortunately, you can’t subscribe into your ISA whether it’s via Primary Bid or not.

Avon didn’t bounce the last time it dropped a couple of months back - I know to my cost. :(

Poker. Tim must be listening to you. Just had a message pop up on my Spoons app to say they’ve got a new food deal starting today and goes on until end of February

Though given the price of gas and electric going up, it might be cheaper to buy a pint or so in a nice warm pub rather than staying home and having the heating on.

At close I’m now 25% down on my holding in my ISA. I will continue to hold.
I do find the style of JDW RNSs odd compared with other companies - almost like it’s Tim’s random thoughts. Should have gone through some better quality control.

Yes please, as I’m heavily committed on both, but I will settle for Barclays over 200p for now. :)

Extract from the Mail on Sunday today
“Bullish tones from analysts at Morgan Stanley, who reckon NatWest and Lloyds may be in for a bounce.
The investment bank’s most upbeat forecasts predict a 60 per cent gain in their shares, aided by rising interest rates next year.
The analysts also say the risk of ‘stagflation’ – slow economic growth, rising prices and high unemployment – has been overstated.
They are less upbeat on Virgin Money, arguing rising rates will benefit rivals more.…..”

Any particular reason for today’s jump?

I remember virtually them all. Are there actually any youngsters invested here?.

Agree with you Mando, though I’m still down 18%. Still holding.

He’s not so well known since he broke up the partnership of Smashy & Nicey :)

I bought his last year and then sold earlier this year when the covid restrictions were extended. Bought back in, but current underwater. I am hoping the SP to get back to at least 1300 by end of year. We just need society to start to enjoy themselves normally and not be unnecessarily frightened.

As of today, I’m 12% down on my purchase Friday morning. Was hoping to make a quick buck. Through necessity this is May well be a medium to long term hold.
As regards takeovers (I now wish!) , they have been the ones acquiring companies in recent years. TeamWendy and Ceradyne who both make ballistic helmets and armour cost approx £100m each. They are positioning to be a company offering the full ensemble of protection from head to toe. What they are missing at the moment is suits, so I would expect them to purchase a CBRN suit manufacturer at some point

Rox. It’s certainly volatile. I was up 20% at the end of April, then 20% down. Now only 7% down. I still think this this can go £1 plus, so holding.

Anyone know why the SP increased by 7% today?

Moose, the trouble is that ABF have no online sales presence to convert their social media followers to online buyers. An optimist would say that we might never have lockdowns again, but the shift of a significant portion of sales to online is permanent. ABF need to take a hit and develop an online presence, even if they kind of outsource it.

I’d say a solid performance across all divisions in very difficult circumstances. Currently 1.58% up in Frankfurt.

Any potential rights issue previously announced is already priced in. This could still add 20 - 40p this year.
