.... holders are already in here. Very few will be shaken out of CMET until at least the next RNS and some, like me, will only be trimming at perhaps 10p then again at perhaps 20p, holding the rest for nothing. So we are sticky holders, which won't

make it easy for newbies to jump on board. The firmness at present is recognition of this.

We are all going to have to get very wiley in the next weeks and months in order for our portfolios to benefit from the gains and reduction of interest rates, but make safe before this market ends. The way to do this is to sell at least most of our profitable holdings deliberately leaving the 'thickest cream' . I am, if I get lucky, not going to be upset if I sell 'too early' because I know from many decades in the stock market that it can and will turn viciously down again without notice.

What to do with the cash we make by selling? At least part we should spend on lifestyle choices we could not otherwise afford. The rest should go safe and boring until the crash is over and then, if you are young enough, (I am not) you could rinse and repeat. Good luck to all.

Brave yorkshirehussar! For the first time in some three years my portfolio has turned marginally positive. What would help a trifle is if you would be so kind as ( with help from your fellow hussars of course) clobber Putin please -Oh and you can add Netanyahu to that list! Then we all could breathe easier. Best of luck matey!!

.... for the year now close.

Bought! Now own 350,000 showing a modest loss, but believe there is potential in the near term. Once our experts report back on P140 (interim expected) SP will react hopefully in a good way. IF that occurs, then options open up for our holding in Incanthera. We could sell some for cash to keep us going until P140 reaches reality or at least avoid a Placing until it can be achieved at a decent price. We could instead take up our option on more Incanthera. Perhaps they will have a bit of inside about the co moving onto AIM.

...is about to shine at last for these.

....to tickle a few more of these with a limit bid today. No bite yet but gut tells me lths like me are about get a small reward on the road to baggerdom!

Last few RNSs here going back to Nov 23 and the timetable has certainly slowed. Should be producing diamonds before now so ( one way or the other a fresh RNS is due in next 4 weeks, hopefully not just more delays.

Feeling in these old bones that our wait for at least more positive news is coming to an end ,

....when our independent tester reports back but must be due soon. Seems like nearly 6 months since they started work, And if the news is equivocal, may not decide to RNS. So all we can do is wait. Frustrating!

Taking my holding here up significantly. Relatively safe way of getting more EM into the p/f. However volatile the like of Asia and South America undoubtedly can be, they all need functioning utilities and this outfit have a solid record.

Now built p my holding to one of the top 10 in my p/f. Can't afford to buy more speccies until one (or more!) comes good,

so the £20,000 was added to this, Alliance Trust and MNG.

So place d a very low buy order for a smallish amount in my ISA. 75p!! in next few days.

Do not expect it to take effect unless the market views it as a basket case.

Fully agree. Those who follow will be brimming with FOMO. Many like me will be happy to help them at the right price by selling a proportion as I can take a generous profit and still be in the game - all wonderful IF it goes to plan!!!

Hoping for good news on a number of fronts, but particularly about clean aeroplane fuel which, if it arrives, will herald a very bright future for this SP and our skies!

Shullbit!

MANO has behaved perfectly in the circs. These things happen in their chosen field.

Nice one Odins!

Wait a minute - yes, I can just see a Ferrari pulling up at Screwfix!

..... ..why this is not bouncing. It yields over 10% and interest rates here are definitely going down as we approach General Election,

....more today out of my 2024 ISA. Not great divis but great management so safe.

....I hope!

So I have put in a chunk of my 2024 ISA to add to my holding here.

Exactly as I expected. Market does not like but what did it expect?

Likely to be bolted on to larger co in similar business once it hits target this year.
