just looked up a flock of pea****s. Its an ostentation or muster of pea****s.

Hi M. Great that you have heard of Jo and Rebecca's books. Jo is a great author and actor. He writes his own satyrical mag Deal Mockery too. And just to finish off the pea**** connection. The auction house we went to is in Corsham near Bath, home to a great gaggle of pea****s. We parked the camper van right next to the garden. I don't recall much of a disturbed night. Played a lot of guitars but got outbidded on the few I liked. there was a dobro guitar belonged to an old blues guy went for 40k! One or two gems but mostly a lot of old toot though for too much money with the commission which they load on the buy and seller now.

T. No alas not in Fxpo . I got spooked by all the arrests and wanted notices for the boss, not to mention the resignation of the director and total lack of investment by institutions because of its geopolitical background. Just shows if its a good business ignore everything else!

Rehome a pea****. In the first lockdown we had 4 pea****s roaming the town, which inspired a friend of mine to write a children's story with beautiful illustrations by his partner. It was so successful they did another one for Christmas. When you say auction lots, I presume this is an online auction. I miss auctions. Went to a guitar auction last year and our dog put his paw up much to the amusement of the autioneer. 'Thats a first in my long career of auctioneering, does your dog have a number?' Yes, he aint nothing but a hound dog. Ok, sorry I'm bored.

S lol. I've no idea. I sold when I saw £4.50 heading down. I was expecting a bounce from 4.80, but obviously with hindsight never expected the results to allow it to hit 5.4, so should have sold then. I see some people are saying its ok because they are going to get £20k in dividends, thats quite an expensive way of looking at compared with the profit the've missed. I'm thinking if I buy back in before it goes ex I could effectively double the div, not that its anywhere near 20k even if doubled! and assuming it goes back up. Not sure thats the right way to look at it either. Did get back into N4p the other day. Thats how frazzled I am going for big risk, no income share . I think you have to mix it up at the moment, so well done on ARB. As Murray Walker used to say 'Anything can happen, and it usually does!'

morning all. Well done Arb guys. I tried reading up about it, SNTW! Bitcoin mining. Naturally I thought this was something they dug out of the ground to make coins, but no you get the chance to be banker for a while and decide what the value is and pass on to the next person. Does remind me of the Harry and Paul sketch with 2 million pound blank piece of paper looking for an investment in the Dragons Den.
MCRO nightmare continues. I remember how the sp reacted in a very similar way after results in the summer. Initially the market seemed ok with the impairment and subsequently sank all the way sub £2.00 briefly. Fortunately I only had a trial holding at the time and was able to follow the leader when we got sub 2.50. The main difference being this time as yet there don't appear to be so many shorts. I guess it must be the impairment charge again or maybe Covid is slowing the recovery. I know a few compinies are saying we got through lock down ok which doesn't really sound like a recovery to me. The chart on Mcro looks pretty similar to the last time it dipped below £4, which I wouldn't rule out happening again. As T says its a downward trend at the moment. Usually starts the day with a slight rise and then enthusiasm wiped out by midday. Its got 2 things going for it less shorts and the dividend. Unless they come out with a remarkable bit of news or takeover I think it will be a slow journey for a while. I think thats the case for a lot of stock. Hence the requests to prolong furlough. Either recovery is already priced in or there will be a reckoning on how well companies have actually survived COVID. oil heading back up, a lot of gas is on a fixed price, and with summer coming and lack of visibility on travel, its not clear about demand. A lot of these oil companies have sustained huge losses and record borrowing and now the oil price is only about break even for many of them. There must be sectors out there that has real growth, I thought cybersecurity would be one, but that still looks pretty subdued. I think a few companies are beginning to clock that as expensive as a good security system is , its still way cheaper than fines for an attack and all the hassle and bad pr that goes with it. Always looks like a non day on the market when the risers are littered with loan sharks, comparison sites.

T. I have just been rereading the MF Analyst presentation on Yahoo with questions from all the usual suspects Godman Sucks (£6), UBS, Credit Suisse (5.45), Jeffries etc. A pretty decent presentation with some cost savings, debt reduction all what looks to lead to a continued if slowish but sound recovery. I guess they don't want to over set targets. Then I found a selection of 12broker forecasts on FT. with a bottom of £3 and a top of £14 for the next twelve months. Average target £5.45. 2 buys, 2 outperform 7 holds 1 sell. Sounds quite conservative.

looking at the Mcro chart it did exactly as indicated and broke clear of the narrowed Bollinger and would have expected it to continue. Maybe this is just the normal trading range set by wild swing profit takers. Obviously rising from a low of two pounds charts may flatter to deceive, but definitively getting ready to add again

I bought and sold Saga today for a quick profit. So mixed the news on travel. Short term its volatile. There is still the Irish firm selling down , now below 5%. Long term it looks promising but why still no institutional buying? Mcro is a real mystery. Was surprised by the rapid rise. I think people were were so primed for a positive update and the div was the main focus of euphoria. Now perhaps thinking its only ok. Does look oversold again but the last time I thought that it went below £4. Shorts are definitely smaller. A fraction in the states and about 1.7% in uk. Still looking to buy more but will se how it goes for the remainder of the week if I can resist.

T have just seen your post.Not seen Sky news, but there is news from another small Pharma IOS Bio that have signed an agreement with a bigger company with a an oral vaccination. I suspect it might be them. N4P are in the middle of getting patents agreed but I think they are still in the trials stage with the development of oral vaccine. Its potentially a billion dollar market so plenty of competition, but they all bring something slightly different to the table. Risky business finding the big winner

Yes I did T. Very volatile. Interesting company. One of their main lines is revamping old drugs such as Viagra which have lost a bit of sparkle and come off patent. Currently looking for a partner to help accelerate the vaccination enhancer. Basically trying to help make drugs more effective by keeping drugs in the body longer. Very interesting company that could hit the jackpot one day. When pfzer closed in the uk there were some very talented Pharmacists with a lot of experience setting up their own drug trial companies in the old Pfizer site in Sandwich. A guy I used to play in a jazz band with a few years back has 3 companies now, one of which is trying to develop a new antibiotic. Its a very long journey, firstly designing a drug and secondly clinical trials and approvals. I think in N4P.s case they are halfway there as they are merely try to make existing drugs more efficient, which in the case of expensive drugs also makes them more economical I am assuming. Will certainly be looking to buy back once the froth settles.

I have received a reply from my accountant already. He doesn't seem to think there is any time limit if losses have already been declared. Thee is a 4 year time limit on declaring losses. Also you still have the current 12 thousand a year threshold, so losses only need to be used against gains above the threshold. B brilliant !

Yes thanks all for tax comments. I googled losses and it seems to be an 8 year carry forward, but have also sent my accountant an email to advise. T. I guess you were referring to Zammit? Reminds me a bit when George North (who could have played for England) hit the scene. He really looks something special. Wales proving again they are the comeback kings. Ireland, not quite so successful again. At least they proved there is a chance that France are beatable, although they do have a habit of improving rapidly throughout the season and they are a young growing team. England look like they have very much plateaued out and much in need of a proper full back. Its very useful having interchangeable players like wingers at number 8, but full back, scrum half and flyhaly really need specialists at this level. Always felt Mike Brown did an amazing job despite his size and worked so hard on his physique to maintain his place as long as he did. Never really found his true successor yet

Hi T. I agree with you both on Wales strategy and funds going nowhere. I think in both cases the sendings off could have been at the most sin bins. Farrel just keeps getting away with his antics. I closed a few positions in stock going nowhere on Friday specifically to redirect this week. Also finished assessing my trades so far for the year and pleasantly surprised by the contribution of many small gains. Got to check with my accountant now if losses from the financial crash can be offset still. I stopped trading for several years after that with a few things t sort out. Only really started seriously trading again last March, after a trial run the previous year which nearly made me pack in for good until Covid hit.

Yes C. Gold was only slightly down on the week but seems to have a big effect on gold stock. Nearly had to eat my words about Ireland, they certainly dug deep. I think the French commentator was right about France being a little over confident. Ireland really took the game to them. So Wales and France now the only two unbeaten sides and yet to face each other and both have to play England. What makes this such a great tournament . 3 countries in the Eu and 3 in the UK. Obviously we'll be better vaccinated.

and now for the rugby. Probably the most interesting game so far to see just how good France are. Underneath every great team there are always a couple of key players and Dupont at scrum half is at least if not more influential than full back Hogg is to Scotland. England were improved against Italy but still not in the same league as the rising French Team. As much as I would like to see Ireland win, they will have to dig deep not just to keep the game alive but avoid total capitulation. Still capable of a surprise but only if the French turn into headless chickens again. Cant see that happening

C. I think you'll find there were some very questionably umpiring in the old days, especially when umpires were usually from the host nation. i.e. not neutral. So they created a global pool of umpires to solve that. The third umpire system is not infallible but it is improving all the time. There are many waffer thin contacts that are impossible to judge by the human eye. LBW, catches, run outs, stumping, no balls ,have all benefitted from technology and more often than not endorse the very high standard of most umpire decisions.
What the two tests have shown us so far is whoever wins the toss wins the game which is a bit of a shame. India's fielding has also improved as has their batting. There has been some class cricket in tight situations. Its been great to watch on telly and have the time. Would be interesting to see the two sides meet on slightly more stable pitches

How quickly things can turn around. Great start to week and ending up the creek. I saw the placing at KMK coming. I don't know how telling the market only 3 weeks ago at interims that you have enough cash to see you through, trading is robust and then call placing is not misleading the market. Thankfully I had an inkling was going to happen. Always seemed to be dodging the cash question, and robust trading with no numbers is always a bit questionable. Great company with great inventions, but absolute proof that great ideas do not make a great business. Have a good weekend all

Morning guys. S even thought Mat Han**** booked a holiday in Cornwall, Don't do as I do!
Thanks T . I looked a ARB @80p and thought No idea whats going on here, pretty much like N4p actually! You pays your money and takes your choice. Good we both got a result

Thanks S. WE decided go the whole hog and have one off our friends amazing proper free range chickens, with a glass of Chateau Tirrol. Our eldest is finally moving in to his new old house tomorrow. I think they now have 3 listed buildings!
