My sons both use etoro. They pay no fee , but they do say they pay more for the trade generally. Dont know too 6much about the background either, like who owns them. Dont know what size trades they take etc. not really concerned about fees on trades whether its £5 or £10 is pretty immaterial, its the service that counts.

Darton and FTSE, I think the issue of shares is more of an irritant than actually detrimental to the share price. All that lot adds up to about 1.5 percent of the capital value. Not sure how much is for staff and how much is acquisitions, which of course adds value to the company. It does seem that the sp takes a knock when they announce it. I have noticed just about every share takes a knock when the annual meeting statement is released. I do wonder about the wisdom of buying a Surveying company but again valuations are always needed on assets of many different kinds. Why not have their own in-house team? They have been on a bit of a buying spree in the last 12 months. Hopefully we will see the benefits in the next 12 months

If Mark Dickinson thinks the market is confused about it being an energy company maybe Inspired Energy is not the best name for a company that doesn’t sell energy. The real problem is that costs outpaced growth in the first six months. That’s what he needs to address. He can call the company what he likes.

Another 55k dumped at 70p. Who can it be . Plenty to choose from. Slater, Miton, Gresham, and half a dozen others. I watched the CEO being grilled by Wotton recently. He still blames the market for thinking they are an energy supplier of broker, neither of which is the case as most of us know. Interesting that Sunak put back end of new petrol and diesel cars and new boilers by 5 years. Like the Ford comment about what he would like from a government. wouldnt we all. Finally fezzed up to Boris being a total idiot. I could have told them that 25 years ago

O god slap face for not topping up. ‘What is longevity?’ Something a bit bigger than shortevity. It’s quite possible it will retrace as before. But some reasonable size buys so I think people know a decent risk reward ratio when they see one.

Merchants Trust have it in their top ten holdings, obviously helps their generous dividend payout, but they do also have to consider the strength of the companies they invest in.

Its almost a repeat of a couple of years back. Made it to just about £1.50 and then all the way back to £1.08. Mostly trading between £1.15-£1.35. I decided to give it another go yesterday at this price. Their strategy is not uncommon one but it can take a couple of years to reach the magic inflexion point.

Seems to be a constant stream of good news. So slightly surprised at this fall back in share price. They had risen well over the year but still way off all time highs. Trading inline and director share buying looks encouraging along with this thumping US army contract to be completed 2026. Gresham House hold quite a stake in at least two funds. Been watching for a while . Now seems a good time to join Nezlob, obviously £4 would have been better, but trust we wont see that again

Ex div in a couple of days for a handsome 39.5 p. Thursday will be a big test for markets. For the umpteenth time will this be the final rise if at all. The trouble is there is no clear picture yet and the independent BOE just follows the fed. The first sign of a change in market sentiment and this should be one of the big movers having ploughed a lot of cash into buybacks at these low prices. Risk though is still currently off. Should get a clue tomorrow on inflation . Sudden rise in fuel prices hasn’t helped. Longer term this looks a no brainer. I know they say don’t buy for the dividend, but IGG must be an exception.

Nearly topped up today but gave myself a good slap!

DC. Trying to find reasons for my own sanity for investing here in the first place. The case is not hopeless imo, and the cause is admirable. Doesn’t always make great business though. It amazing how long these kings of toddlers hang on. I see companies fro 29 years ago that have hung on at the same sp as then but diluted into oblivion. N4p are in a very good area. The main concern is that they have not been bought out. One possible reason is Nigel won’t sell or can’t get a price anywhere near what he might think it could be worth, or the pharmas think he is looking for a needle in a hay stack. Possibly somewhere in between would be ok

Elrico. Like the final comment, ‘should thrive for years if it survives M&A activity of traditional bank.’ Got to think why are they (the banks) leaving it so long? Every day now its going to cost them more. I suppose it would cost them too much in an inevitable bidding war. Win win

Typo ‘a specific area.’ If there are any biochemists out there that can explain what sets n4p apart would be very grateful for an explanation. All I see is a spiked ball that looks like one of those useless organic washing machine balls. I wonder if that’s where Nigel got the idea! Anyway, about £1.3 million left. No employees to pay. Does Nigel just have shares as payment? He got costs down to under £0.7 million. It seems most of the trials are outsourced at other peoples expense and research being funded by a grant at Queens Australia. Bit of a shoestring affair but he’s got this far. Must give him some credit for that. Typically British company

Nanotechnology In medicine has a massive future. It is all about the delivery of drugs to combat chronic disease. It is important because it can help deliver the medicine to Astor specifics area. This is vital because many medicines can be pretty toxic as can be Nanoparticles them self of which there are a few different kinds. The advantage of creating a delivery system like this is that it improves the efficacy of a medicine requiring considerably smaller doses to site specific areas with much reduced toxicity

Or side effects. Quite what N4p are trying to do or the product that they have that makes it unique enough to make it different from other nanotechnology I don’t quite understand. I’m not a biochemist . But here we are with a patented product that can potentially greatly improve the chances of people recovering from horrible chronic illnesses, cancers, IBS and improve the immunity boosting vaccine injections and possible orally which would be another massive leap forward not to mention facilitating the transportation and storage of medicines. The stakes are enormous monetarily but also for helping medicines become more accessible, cost efficient and effective. Who said it would be easy ? You have to be in it to win it . It may not turn out to be N4p but there again there is a realistic chance it very much could be.

And very well played Namibia last night . I dont suppose they see that much rain during the match in a whole year. The All Blacks have a point to make not being seen as the main contender, at their awesome best, so a very gallant and entertaining effort.

Unfortunately we always are investing against ‘people’ with inside knowledge. You have fund managers who sit on boards of a company, then the directors themselves and the large fund holders. Your not going to tell me they dont have the upper hand when it comes to investing putting it politely. Then there are the devious market maker fun and games. Filling order games. The list is endless. This is the danger for a Pi trying to beat the market. The. Market is completely illogical, never mind crystal balls. You certainly need a pair, a lot of patience, and above all the ability to make the right decisions for yourselves.

They have been busy. Their very good website is more up to date than news on lse. There was an RNS on 6th September about small increase in holding by Cannacord to over 10 %. Look forward to interims on 26th September

Not sure what balance you are referring to. Oo ah ouch. You say in 2020 you nearly invested but you didnt. 3 years later and constant stream of negative comments without ever explaining why or where you thing the business is going wrong. Not a single post about any other company. Yes I do make the odd bad investment. I think events have conspired against Inse. It happens in business. Fortunately I have had many more winners than losers and much larger holdings as in Equals, Niox and Atm all having netted 100% gains plus. Not actually badly down on Inse and as I said getting a reasonable dividend. I find it hard to believe that you have been following this company for at least 3 years and you dont realise that two big founds had to pull out. One, only yesterday with millions traded at 70p. Presumably broker to broker. Basically I just dont understand what your fascination is with this stock or why you dont give any clue that you know anything about the company or what they do other than making cynical comments about following Ken Wotton, who incidentally netted me a very handy 60 % profit when Mgp got taken over earlier this year. Absolutely no ill feelings against you. Just trying to understand your motives

Congratulations Bargain. Finally a really interesting post. After 3 years and 23 posts on Inse you have finally struck gold. Are a disgruntled ex employee? I get the felling you have never invested from your 23 posts and all only on Inse over 3 years. Absolutely fascinating. Yes tricky little one this partly thanks to two over eager fund managers who then became forced sellers in the bear market. The dividend is ok, the debt is too big, but they should be able to start paying that off from next year. Russian invasion wasn’t particularly helpful and the conspiring of Bp and Shell to fully exploit the situation.

Actually it doesnt ! Nearly 70p to buy though. May leave it till next week
