The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
LSE on here currently show 0% short positions for Rolls. My IG trading platform says 13% short positions. No idea which is to be believed if any. Also the exact definition of a 'short position' is the same. Never cared enough about them to educate myself 💁🏼♂️
Anyway, onwards and upwards.. I love sitting on a +£100k profit. Having been here a number of years like a lot of people here, I don't think I'm the only one 😎
A great RNS and countless positive media releases. We are one of the top daily rises in the market and getting excellent exposure to PIs for a bright future with circa 20% annual up tick year on year for the foreseeable future 👍
What's not to like 💁🏼♂️
I would also doubt Tufan would leave Rolls Royce after such a short successful period. Does not look good having such short contracts on one's resume.
Rolls Royce, although no angel is a damn sight more ethical than working at an oil major.
He obviously has no money worries having the salary and bonus scheme he has. One would hope you get to a stage in life where money isn't everything, I would hope he isn't too tempted and would finish what he has started.
Having worked for an oil major, they are not particularly pleasant organisations to work for and your moral compass does weigh on you somewhat.
When people leave jobs to go elsewhere, you never think about returning (in my experience).
Nevertheless if he were to leave, I'm positive Rolls would continue it's upward trajectory with who ever the successor might be. A lot of 'Tufan's' success was already in the pipeline prior to him taking the seat. I do like him and think he is doing very well but not all credit can go to him. ITP sale was already on the cards and the macro economic recovery of the world within this industry is for the most part out of his hands post COVID.
If he goes, he goes, a short term blip would be on the horizon but long term gains would succeed and I don't believe he would go back to BP for a minute.

Diddley I don't think any of the factors you have listed are beneficial and RR would have been better positioned if none of these had come into fruition. Not really sure what you are going on about..
Finchy8, thank you for your post. I think we are all on the same page 💁🏼♂️
I've only been here for about 6 months but have seen about a 25% loss in that time which isn't great! I'm decensitised to losses, I have the benefit of a large profit on my dominant holding of Rolls Royce though.
I am too wondering why we continue to drop as our balance sheet isn't too bad..
The only upside I see is if a pay settlement can be arranged for the greedy rail workers (mostly the drivers and conductors) who are already on very respectable salaries in my opinion.
How negatively the continued strike actions affect the share price in not too sure, but this is the only near term positive to look forward to that I can see.
Why our rail network is so expensive is an embarrassment, one of the most expensive in the world. Where I live, a 60 mile return train journey to London is about £80. What a way to encourage people off the roads and on to public transport 🤦
It would be nice to rip up the whole network and re lay it so it worked properly but the time it would take would be a slight inconvenience 😂
Nevertheless the government has spanked all its cash on furlough schemes, PPE and housing economic male migrants who for every one that stays is sure to bring about four dependents over legally at a later date..
Anyway rant over. I look forward to increased cost of living and taxes on a yearly basis where a sane country would be easing the cost of living year on year thinking towards the long term and not every re-election year which doesn't do anyone any favours.
Afternoon all,
I just want to repost something I wrote a couple of weeks ago and didn't get a reply..
Basically wondering how or if a circa 2% dividend would attract fund managers and make it "investment grade" as people have stated.
"having difficulty finding past dividends shown as a percentage for rr. but a little research, the last dividend was october 2019 when ex div share price was 208-214 for the day. 4.6p per share was the dividend paid which is approximately 2%.
will this really entice large fund managers when inflation far outstrips this? i would also suspect an introductory dividend due to our struggles the last few years would not be at the same levels as before?"
Thank you
Rolls Royce operating margins are in the region of just below 10%. Large civil projects are typically less than 5%, if not 2 or 3%.
I just question where you get your 40% from when we all know there is high profile competition for SMR contracts.
I wish it to be true but you can't just pluck 40% our of the air as it's misleading. I would like to see the source of your statement if to be true.
All the best
