on Afx S. I think its holding well after placing. Bit disappointed with their own brokers target of £9.50. Stokopedia have it as a Buffetolgyesque. Sounds painful, but I guess they mean patience!

S. You seem to have the Midas touch at the moment. I see GGP has broken out of trade range which is a great sign. My only minerals are ore and platinum at the moment. Just about to partially move out of lock down which is a relief. Mks making a little headway, still a few shorts open which I would have thought a little precarious having dropped this far, but obviously that hasn't helped the sp recently, although its created a good buying op I hope! gL

I felt it rude not to join 2 directors buying 20,000 MKS shares today: M&S are going to bring food innovation and sourcing at scale. Obviously, in own-label food, their sourcing power is double that of Waitrose. We’ll also for the first time, get to see what these customers are doing in-store as well as online through integrated CRM. We at Ocado Group will bring the leading fulfillment operations with continuous technology upgrades as well as new profitable immediacy and same-day models to the mix. And Ocado Retail will develop their commercial and marketing abilities and expect to significantly strengthen their offering. All of this will create new opportunities, more data and insights to act on at an unparalleled offer.

Best investment quote today. 'Its not a game. You don't need to swing at everything, just make sure your pitch is your best shot.' Must be the Geoff Boycott of investing. He did get some big scores very slowly.

V. Probably gave up trying to get on here. About the worst its ever been today. Seems like you've done ok with OCDO. Certainly steaming away, but maybe a retrace when the rest of the market decides to go up! could be a while especially now insurers of businesses told to pay up!

Morning brigade. Good to hear Javed come out of his hidden hole. The latest revelation that because the world has stopped work GDP is going to take a big hit. Who'd have thought that? As Javed points out this is a worse case scenario not and economic forecast. Why we didn't follow the South Korean example is a question that will be under scrutiny in a few months I should think. No lock down there because they all wear masks. Simples, bleedin' obvious.

Thanks T. Good results, cash generative, and still operational! Surprised by the share price decline so have been buying more. Nearly all small sells but a couple of hefty purchases. Same with SLP, platinum miner. They have shut down for a month, but no debt and cash pile which covers 25% go their market cap. South Africa does however present many other risks but hey still need business. Wyn doing quite well so far.

Surprisingly few in uk T. But it did flag up AA as being contrarian recovery which seems apt! Up 25% again this morning, but all looks a bit fishy. I did buy highly rated food producer WYN on an upward trend and a few in iron ore producer FXPO. If they win their court case as expected should bounce a bit and some heavy buying into small retrace. Other than that a lot of companies in very precarious financial situations. Applications for help overwhelming the government who were surprised at the uptake. Well there's another surprise! Sad reports about restaurant trade a lot of distress there. Cant understand the support for RTN. I worked out that the Wagama takeover cost them 2 million per restaurant. That was fine when they were talking about rolling it out globally but they decided against that long before the Chinese came up with there little gift to the world. Probably be proved wrong again

Morning T. Not so much a lie as sifting through Stokopedia analysis. Very useful platform, but a bit pricey. Will see how their top rated stocks perform. Expect dow 6% rise due to latest Trump tweet on who's the boss!

Dow futures slip a little. CNN claim mega crash imminent as graph shows similarity to 30s depression. There are many more dissimilarities, namely technology, globalisation, population. China have 130 new cases, allegedly from returnees. If this gets worse or turns out not to be the case we could be in trouble with so much pressure and talk of lifting restrictions. There again we should be better equipped with medicines and vaccines for the future. On balance I think I'll go with cautious optimism.

Contrary to press reports. The lowest ever sp for Tullow I can find was in 1991 at 6.98p. by 97 it was trading in 45p - 80p, then 5 years between 80p-£1.20. 2004 -2008 £1.20-£5.00. 2008 from £4 hitting £13 in 2012. Then pretty much downhill all the way to 2020 with a few brief rises. If you got in and held in 2012, one of the worst investments ever. If you got in in mid nineties and held your money would have halved over 25 years. Difficult investment longterm. But pick your moments and has been a multi bagger. I doubled my money twice but lost half of it last October. If it survives, and that looks more likely than a couple of weeks ago, it could double or treble medium term. So quite a good risk. A lot depends on oil price. Not sure the 10% cut in production will be received that well, with a 200% oversupply.

Tlw amuses me. I can remember a few years back when there were about 2 posts a week and the sp was £10 looking to make 12, which I think it hit briefly with analysts calling £18 by some. Never changes.

Hi S. Been following Greatland for a while. Nearly succumbed. To be honest I think it was the mental age of some of the posters put me off in the end. Small goldmines are notorious for going nowhere. This one does look a bit better. Jumped a lot in January up from under 2p, since when it has been stuck in a trade range between 3.5-5.5p. Good updates they keep upping forecasts so why no break out? Heavy director purchasing too. I'm trialing Stokopedia at the mo. Thats throwing up some interesting leads. Very in depth on nearly all world stocks. Interestingly there are only about half a dozen uk stocks in their top list of several hundred stocks. 2 that interest me are Steppes cement and Sylviana platinum. Lot of people seem to be punting on AA. for recovery play. Should be plenty of volatility to come if a bit slower. Cant see a proper solid recovery for months yet, maybe even a couple of years. GL

We used to jet wash, but found it a bit messy. Diluted Jeys fluid does a great job (if you can stand the smell).

Yes T it is rubbish but at least we can chat on it! The only good thing about it. I pointed to some of the problems, like telling them it wasn't any better if you paid for it, but I don't think they are at all bothered

Not a great week for me. Somewhat reluctantly sold out of Kape. I've done pretty well out of it this year, but its always dangerous when a stock becomes a favourite and was thinking it was a bit toppy last week. Just running with BGO going back up nicely and AFX. I think we will do ok with this S. Might require a bit of patience. A lot of company staff invested here. The placing shares joined the market today and it held up pretty well. So I'm back in a massive cash position again. One of the New York journals was saying today the only problem with this stock recovery is there is very little analysis to support it. But there again where else is there to put money right now?

Probably is AZN takeover. They've been rubbish recently. Just taken my £20 profit on £8,000! better than sitting in the bank. Thats about the interest for a year. lol, don't know why I'm laughing

S. Well done with NCYT. Difficult when it rises this fast, but you know how volatile it is. Maybe cover your initial stake at least as T says. Then the rest is free shares. GL anyway. I'm managed to buy back into AZN on the low today up nearly .5%. Nearly as fast as AFX. Wish some of NYCT would rub off on AVN! After all they are supposed to be lending them a hand. Also bought back bgo as the selling there appears to have finished for hopefully good. Interview with the new South Korean partner boss who talks very calmly about making billions of dollars or was it billions of phone calls. Any way I think he is pleased with his new little toy. T have you looked at TED today. I'm way to blinkered sometimes.

love it. Have been watching ccl too. GL

Spot on T. Its quite blatant. S Asia more muted to Dow rally and Japan slightly down. Dow also a bit more hesitant. You would have thought the ftse (normally one to lag behind world markets) would be a little less frivolous today. Perhaps its the thought of easter egg hunts. Contrary to LSE information AFX is up again a little. Was thinking of a top up but really must try and leave till the easter break in the middle of an even longer break is over.
