Not sure about that S. Its impossible to call this right. Just try to buy for less than I sold at. So already buying Saga again. Can be volatile so could drift back a bit more before cruising starts and thats without any more hiccups. And when have we not had them! Got a few more Mcro T. Cant help noticing all the sells are BOT trades of about £50 and the very few O trade buys are all in the thousands

Finally managed to do it! Sold half my saga holding just over 3 quid. I really thought I couldn't do it. Cant really not take some of it off the table, but fully expect this to make 6 on resumption of sailing

Escaped from AIR this morning with a reasonable profit on trading update. One of the shortest in history. Although not dire telling the market they were ahead of expectations is a bit of a white lie to be honest. A profit of .5 million for the second was rather underwhelming. Still the market have bought it for now. Right reinvest in MCRO? Maybe a little more wouldn't hurt!

Morning T. Another day, another president! more fake news from Trump. He is certainly not the first president not to start a war and as you say one of the first recently to incite a civil one.

O yes. M. I miss my Aga. Had one for twenty years. Then bought a house with a ruddy Rayburn. Threw that out and got an outside boiler and electric cooker. The outside boiler was fantastic as all oil so kept all those oily smells out of the house. There was a firm in derbyshire that mad an almost exact replica. They worked out they benefitted from having a bigger flue, can't find the company now. I would love an Aga again, 4 door preferably. Just perfect in the right house and for this weather. Happy hunting

Ditto T. Saga booking up 90% for 2022. Quite a bit of profit taking now though. So you've done well S. Wouldn't be out for too long though, like this afternoon!

S. I probably should have joined you on Saga, as have regretted not trading previously, but I honestly think its only just warming up

M. I had two stoves, some Scandi thing which was great but temperamental and a Clearview, which was a great workhorse. Great output and always kept the glass door clean. You've not taken profits on Saga yet?

Inflation back on the menu , so anything with a racy PE could struggle this year, including property. Funny how its always tricky in this game.

Indeed T. Yes glad I took my meagre profit on BOO. They do seem good at digging their own holes, plus the tax pressure on online retailers. Haven't seen how MKS and OCDO. They are all quite clever at no showing any profit when it suits. Weather a bit iffy here. S TTG response pretty nonplussed by update. I decided reluctantly to sell. Bit miffed by delays in Virolens. Having told me it would be a goer within weeks back in November all they can say is they have a significant amount of enquiries. Naturally, so where the hell is it?

Well done M. Saga one of the few up with everything struggling. Did you pick up any MCRO T? just about managed to sit on my hands poised over 4.09. BOT trades working desperately hard to grab this back to sub 4 again. Will be ready if they do> be great if they popped the results out a week early just to stuff the shorts!

Morning all. Lovely one on the east side. Closed the three positions I opened Friday for very small but grateful profits. Little bit nervous of inflation talk and possible following interest rise. Mainly in the US. T also interested in buying more MCRO. Decide with the US being close 2 days this week I might hang on till next week as we still have possibly 3 weeks before news. Plenty of time for more games there. Also closely watching Saga, not much of a drop there M so far. Difficult with the merest hint of lifting restrictions could see this fly.

Just remembered I never took part in Saga placing because I only got interested when I discovered our local guy DeHaan was interested in coming back. Bought a good few below 12p placing! My claim to fame is having made some speciality bread for one of his doos a few years ago, and helped with a business plan presented to him but never happened unfortunately. So Saga was a no brainer for me and remains very much that way .

C. Actually being retired the time absolutely flies and I wonder how I have fitted in full time work! Root notched up 228, and Sri Lanka need 280 to save innings defeat.
M. Don't know how up to speed you are on Saga. They floated for just shy of £2 originally, because of the 15-1 consolidation after placing that equates to £30 per share today! The placing was for about 40% of the company, So lets say with dilution £20. Much of that money has paid down debt.
Dehaan bought tin at an average of £3.00 in todays money, which is a bit less than the takeover attempt in the summer by a consortium lead by a former Aviva boss, obviously after the valuable insurance arm. I should have trade these at least 3 times and made a fortune, but I didn't . Some times I think you have to bite the bullet and buy back in at a higher price if you get out of kilter with swing trades. Could never have envisage this going down to £1.20 low or unto £3.4 high briefly. All in the last three months. It is very volatile. It is now a small cap with a fairly small number of shares after consolidation. The accountant on stokopedia is convinced this will make it back to at least £12 in the next couple of years and it is his second largest holding after BOO! which he obviously thinks will rival ASC eventually. The spanner in the works for Sag is the continuing delay in cruising and travel currently offset by the insurance arm. They are poised to go with river cruises in Europe as well as two global cruise liners , 1 brand new and both exceeding the new regulatory COVID safety requirements. I can see this remains volatile and not sure at all how we bounced up to £2.70 this week unless the big boys are getting interested because they weren't too keen on the placing. Mostly funded by Dehaan and me and Stockopedia! Assuming we are clear to cruise this could double up in short time which is what stopped me trying to second guess, but have been topping up along the way . I think I might have even paid £2.75 for a small batch when it first flew, my average is just over £2.00 now, clinging on for a 6 bagger. Similar story with MCRO, except I was lucky trading that, GL.

Yard Arm! Just opened another chateau Trillol, not corked and all roses! Thank heavens now got 3 cases. Have a very merry locked down weekend and thanking my lucky stars drinking as responsibly as possible under the circumstances! Cheers

S, Bit of a mystery saga surge. Maybe the market is coming round to the idea that they are company still making good dough, they are not likely to go tits up with Dehaan back in the saddle and the shares are actually stupidly cheap. Don't laugh I've just bought the filmsy girly clothes share @3.3 and MONY looks to have been a good purchase , should have been a bit bolder maybe. Even TTG is on the up! Been an interesting week

That takes a lot of nerve 3 placings in one year. Well done .Would have thought 'saw you coming' to quote Arry Enfield. Of course it depends on the reason. Mostly this year it has been about running out of cash and work except for OCADO of course! Decided to take a small position in MONY. Rather have just bought more MCRO really but market is definitely a bit off today maybe just profit taking

M & S ( no not ordering a home delivery). Am quite staggered at the TUI sp. If I was into shorting would have gone for £3.00. I suppose we have had a fair bit of practise at these rights issues. Just going by what happened with RR. and IAG. Anyway good luck whether your in out or shaking it all about. Glad I refrained from anything this morning. Almost jumped into Boo, but managed to remind myself that don't really need flimsy girly clothes. Mony looks a good punt at £2.50. Naked trader bought at £2.60 for a buy out. S . I missed that this morning. I'm sure Aggers remembers Johners with great affection. He did recount a very amusing little tale about a hotel in India he stayed at with just Boycott. Only last 1 night! A one night stand you could say.

Bad light stop play. So Andy Zaltzman now discussing with TMS playing cricket on the moon. A return to sanity!

T I agree their have been some ridiculous nonsense about fake news, alleged empty hospitals, raves, protests and god knows what and then you see a film crew inside a hospital showing everyone the NHS world of fighting tooth and nail against the pandemic.
France have already gone to 1800 hr curfew. In their lockdown you had to have written proof of a need to even go out of your home, and an on the spot fine if you don't have a bone fide reason
We get Boris's dad swanning around the world from country pile to country pile, Cummings saga, high profile systematic flouting of their own rules. DFLs fleeing to their second homes to check the homeless haven't moved in etc. There was a village in Dorset complaining that DFLs come and go as they please. We gat a fair bit of that here. There is little attempt to lead by example.
Going on to the Derbyshire police fining those two girls with lovely tans and coffees in hand. Lovely photo opportunity. Then the police are forced to refund the fine. Great message that sends out . That would not happen in France.
