Snap, I got in at 6.8 and haven't any intention of selling in the immediate term.

HEX should start seeing some action again soon as well if anyone is looking to split the risk.

They've gone for it, 1.45bn over the FY.

Unless you're needing to liquidate ie obtain the cash tied up now or in the short term, you'll be fine. That being said it's always unwise to sink your whole pot on one share as it leaves you open to black swans - look at the deepwater horizon accident for one specific to BP. Once your position is recovered to a level you feel comfortable with, try and deversify into different shares spread across different industries.

Gallini - I can see that being on the table given the shares are unexpectedly quite a bit cheaper than a month or so ago, however will they instead plough the money into defending the challenge issued on price by Asda?

Historically it's struggled on results, so I get what's being said, but all signs are pointing towards a good set of numbers, so hopefully not the case this time out.

A little disappointing tbf, I wondered if some were keeping their powder dry until today to drop it into a new tax year.

I think they have some value in identifying support and resistance points in large caps in a stable trading environment, however they absolutely shouldn't be the main driver of investment decisions as there are a lot of other influences that affect a SP.

*established.

No idea what the autocorrect was up to there.

100%. Charts have a role to play in well stabilised large caps but are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike for small/micro caps and startups.

There's some fantastical valuations being thrown around, I'd love to see them but would take a fraction of that. Remember those valuations are based on mcap and current shares in issue which may be diluted in the future. If we hit the jackpot I'd expect we will be taken out a long way before we start talking about £15+ a share, let alone £300+ a share.

Few days late, but it looks to have finally began.

Still rated 'buy' though.

Stanley - the SP would certainly be set for a big fall if they scrapped the dividend. Debt isn't always a bad thing for a business, it depends on the terms.

I have a feeling a lot of stop losses were taken out unexpectedly and a surge will come on Monday as investors recover their positions.

You certainly do. I've a couple of very nice ones coming up in the next year or two, where the option price was in the 180s and 190s.

Assuming TW is Tom Winnifrith, I'd be very careful taking too much stock in what he says.

they had a category 5 cyclone (read hurricane, they're the same thing just a different word) pass through the area not long ago. it's sp****ly populated so no harm done but it will have affected commercial enterprises in the area.

Before Monday would be nice, currently in Lanzarote, that would definitely be a nice gift to bring home ☀️💰

Probably more to do with the shaky growth forecast and inflation still being a threat ie a threat to lowering interest rates, which impacts the money people potentially have to spend. Maybe a bit of profit taking too after it's latest surge.

I have to say, I took some profits from here a few weeks ago after entering just after IPO at 10.8p and gone into GEX as I feel there's a move up due there after the SP taking a pasting, I will be back into this though.
