Well not a bad finish to the week.

Well I probably missed a good buy, but its got me spooked so I will wait and see what happens next week.
My apologies to those holding, I've been there and its horrible.

Thank you for that, I will have a search.
I've been invested in SSE since early 2020 and it now represents 5.12% of my portfolio,
I like the stock and view it as a constant part of my portfolio.

Thanks I will indeed give it a look, I am always open to suggestions of opportunities to research.
As an aside I have had an eye on AVON, glad I'm not invested today, sorry for those who are, I would never have seen that coming. At one point today I got a live buy price of £9.245. I declined.

I don't think your question is being ignored, I just think like me, no one knows the answer,

Thank you, that makes sense now

I'm afraid its not quite as rosey as you may believe.

It is likely that average temperatures in the UK will rise. This may affect some crops in the UK, lead to possible water shortages, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Water levels are likly to rise by as much as 400mm by the enturys end.

Hotter summer temperatures will become more frequent and very cold winters will become increasingly rare. Cold winter help maintain insect populations, and mild winters can lead to booming insect numbers. There will be increased local flooding with more flash flooding occurring.

Severe weather events are likely to increase, such as flooding, droughts, heat waves, severe gales and snowfall.

This is only a small sample of the possible impact.

As for it being other peoples problem, I think you will find unless you reside on a different planet its going to effect you, and even if it didn't, what about the people it does effect. We shouldn't only worry aboit ourselves.

I hope you are alone in your lack of consideration for your fellow humans.
Unbloodybelieveable.

What is the latest RNS about?

I agree very little cannot be bought if the price is high enough.
So my question to those thinking an aquisition of AAF a possibiity, is what price?
I think AAF would attractquite a premium, such that it would make any aquisition unlikly.
I would agree with the original posters sentiment that if AAF continue on their current course £3 is not unachievable in the next 24 months. Over a longer timeframe, not withstanding any problems, I think its highly possible.

I'm not sure I follow you correctly, are you saying you don't believe the value of TRIG and subsequent SP will improve.
TRIG continues with a programme of aquisition and expansion that over time I see as increasing its value and profits, surely this will lead to an increased SP.
I'm not being argumentitive, just wish to understand your view.

Gavster-NBC
Thanks for the links, they provide an interesting point of view.
The host does appear to be concerned, and put a good case.
I don't think caution is a bad thing, but I'm also not sure he has given consideration to the army of financial wizzards that SSE will have access to, and I doubt he is alone in considering the questions raised.
I think it inconcievable that SSE haven't got a strategy to account for these costs over the long term.
For me SSE isn't cheap, but it does offer good value, and cheap is not the same as good value.

I wouldn't worry too much about daily SP, its the general stability that counts. After all the SP only really counts when you sell, prior to that its all paper wins and losses.
LLOY looks to be doing well, but there is obvious resistance around that 50p line.
I have no doubt it will breach that wall at some point, and more importantly, maintain that price.
I'm just not certain that its going to be today.
I've noticed that Fridays often show many of the stocks in my portfolio falling slightly before the weekend, only to recover early the following week. I have no idea why that is, and its not every stock on every Friday, but its certainly a thing.
I can't fathom why this is, and I'm not talking a couple of stocks, I'm looking at 21 stocks in diversified sectors.
Anyway thats why I have my doubts about 50p today.
I am as always happy to be wrong when it increases my paper value.

I hold both LGEN and DLG, and obviously believe they are both excellent cash cows.
I have held LGEN for a few years, and have been well rewarded for my investment.
DLG has been a recent aquisition which is currently showing me a 6% paper loss on 6411 shares, but like LGEN, long term believe it will reward me.
Personally I dont believe you can go wrong with either stock over a longer timeframe.

In February 2020 this was trading around £3.18 just before falling to the terrible lows of £1.38 in March 2020. Its come a long way since those dark days and now looks likely that £3 will be seen within the next few months.
I see no reason why the SP couldn't regain its February 2020 highs over the next 12 months, barring any future unknowns.

I don't think China will allow Evergrand to default, the Chinese government has a lot of power it can bring to bear.
Evergrand may well be broken up over time to reduce the impact.
Hopefully the resulting impact will be short lived on the world markets.

This type of fraud is always going to lead to a conviction. There will always be a money trail to follow.
Its reassureing they were found out, and dissapointing the sentenceswere not much stronger, they will most likly only serve half their sentence, but will find it difficult to gain further employment afterwards.

It's annoying that the SP seems to be on a constant downward trend at the moment, especially as I have no free cash to invest at the moment.
