@Cashola - wait, what you’re using Ceefax. I thought that went out with the demise of the CRT. I do remember building a Ceefax decoder in the 1970’s as part of a series in Practical Television or some such magazine.

Absolutely.

Now I'm fully out of CPI (again) I'm hoping for some bad news so I can get back in under 22p. I'm thinking the media is going to ramp up the fear factor with Monkeypox.

Such a ray of sunshine.

A friend of mine has just re-mortgaged for 5 years at about 2.4%. That suggests the banks do not expect the current high interest rate to be long term.

Increased wage costs puts pressure on companies to reduce those costs by outsourcing where they can.

Anything to help you get in under 22p eh No1plasterer ?

Have to say I get sick of hearing about the b***** dow. As I'm looking at 16:00 it's 32260 so teetering. Doesn't seem to know which way to go. Maybe end in blue.

What's all this nonsense about share buy-backs. Not while there is debt on the balance sheet. Once that's gone and they have SPARE cash then maybe but not until. - get real.

While I’m off on a Friday afternoon rant, how about a suspension of short selling. Move some money from the wealthy hedge funds to impoverished pi’s like ourselves. Now that would be a redistribution of wealth alright.

I was overweight here with 160,000 but after selling bought back only 40,000 so not too bad. I’ve been £3k down & £7k up with CPI. Only thing that’s changed is the BOE guv’nor’s speech and the Americans flapping about. People will still find the money to jet off to Costa-del-Packet & buy flat screen tvs. If the British government want to help with the cost of living they should remove the green levy on our energy bills. And why was the furlough scheme so bloody generous. Too much for too long to keep dead-beat jobs open while many actually had to work through lockdown. How about those who received furlough money pay it back.

Glad I sold at 26p but regret re-buying at 24p. What to do now though. Probably nothing today.

Got to watch those stop losses tomorrow. Could easily be stopped out.

It's not like this rate rise was unexpected.

Just bought at 24.03p. Had a few no-quotes getting a price.

I'm waiting sub 24p.

I sold out yesterday in tranches expecting a pull back. SP needs to pause for breath. The early birds got in around 20p and have fledged the nest having made a nice profit. I've put a load into MTRO, another unloved company. The trick is to be ahead of the crowd not follow it. If this pulls back to 23-24p I'll be back in. If not and it races ahead then so be it. Never be afraid to take a profit. Plenty more minnows in the sea.

I was trying to be conservative with a small c. Think many will pile in now at 24p that wouldn’t touch it at 20p especially as a lot more positive technical indicators. Here’s to 32p by the Summer solstice and 42p by the Autumnal equinox.

More likely to receive an offer between 32 - 35p imho.

@oceanpassage quiet this morning.
