Check divi on www.dividendmax.com

Hi nomlungu .
Yes i recall you did mention you thought a placing was coming and i said if you want to pick up some shares on the cheap you could have got some on the 7th of March as they were 33p . Ive been in Duke since 2019 and I paid around 35p for them then they did go up to nearly 50 P but my TP price was 55 p

In 2020 they crashed down to around 20 p and i held on through covid etc
I added some on the 21 Jan 2022 at 37 p and have a TP price of 45 p but didn't get there.
I just see this share as a dividend income share..
As you may recall I'm not a fan of placings as it dilutes the share price.

Also not a fan of primary bid as i see them as a self serving disruptor.
Its a pity that DUKE didn't give its own share holders the option to buy shares at a discount.,that would have been the morally correct behaviour ... (but this is the stock market!) So now as we enter a more bearish stock market I hang on for the continued divis... Good luck to all holders

Yes i know what you mean the tumbling FTSE could knock me off the fence. Lol

Nicknaim No

Cant see that OBNW & 5x5C ......... If the drop continues 230 more likely loads of support around that area

Ok let see what today brings im sat on the fence

Possible Sigma1 The FTSE right now as i type is currently hugging the 200 MA and EMA.
It depends whether it bounces or drops below If it is below I will be waiting for a better entry price .
See what Asia does overnight

Hi GS it looks like a Tech tracker with a 1.3% yield I guess the 5% out a year must include growth?

Friday was an awful day on the markets it has to get better soon!

Everything was up this morning
. By the closing bell its all back down again ..market didnt like BOE's comments i guess .

Now just looked at all the world indices and they are all down.

Looks like the FED hasn't punished us. Should be good day tomorrow

Im not sure about any of your comments GS with out further research but in the short term if the Fed hikes int rates tonight as expected its not good for stocks and it looks like its having an affect already..
At some point when Putin gives up ........ stocks and shares should start to go back up ( hopefully)

M&S has been heavily shorted for a while but now just 1.75% shorted with Marshalls upping its short on 25th April.

No shorts on ABF but like you say not been doing very well of late.

maybe just not exciting enough for the current weird market

Hi guys I agree with the sentiment on lGEN, as over the years its been one of my best all round shares but as you probably know me by now it doesn't do any harm to sell when its high and buy back lower for what i call free shares. ( or income)

This year has been particularly difficult and as trading is a significant part of my income and i don't have any employment income to add I tend to be cautious in the main and a little jittery and take profits where I can get them.

Gs, Tesla cant say that i entirely comfortable with Musks motives as he tends to manipulate the market for his own gains so will stay clear... Greggs yes I am just waiting for it to break out..... just too much "general" negative sentiment about right now for me to be confident in anything right now .

Its getting worse everyday....I am tempted to put a limit buy in on lgen at 240 but im not sure even that is the bottom....RR currently my biggest holding getting slaughtered... pub tonight for some light relief.

Andy its not a conspiracy theory. as a newbie I am guessing you haven't delved into technical analysis in any detail. Look up volume within trading and see how M&M'S manipulate the market. and by studying volume you can spot the differences and divergence of the market to see a more real picture

Stanley pro....... yes possibly will know for sure after 5pm

The drop today doesn't make sense from a technical point of view. If you look at the selling volume, it is relativity small. Too small for such a drop, this makes me think that the market makers are dropping this. Its either because they know good news is coming or they are trying to tempt buyers. As always time will tell....... but I have seen higher selling volume on lower down days, so something is amiss

Under the circumstances that's good then Gs. I hope Greggs breaks out for you.

I have no news except to say my sell of HSBC last Wednesday luckily was perfectly timed.

LGEN even though it dropped a lot today the buying volume indicator out weighed the selling volume . If that the case lgen should get back up to 260 again soon. I guess it depends on how the ftse opens in the morning

Hi Gs the way the market has opened today i think you will get your wish ! " China lockdown" dam oh dam here we go again
