It's very likely the RR share price is being manipulated by the MM's on a daily basis (frustratingly) and this is likely to continue until they can no longer get away with it such as a positive company update during the 12th May AGM or a positive RNS? As willsmith123 said in an earlier post, the recent trend is one of upwards in the morning followed by a downward trend in the afternoon. Of course, we could all play them at their own game by selling in the morning and buying back in the afternoon. Circa 2% daily gain? Not sure if that would work pragmatically but you get the point? I read a lot of posts stating it'll be this price it'll be that price. The truth is, nobody knows for certain what will happen to the SP from one minute to the next. The markets and the markets alone dictate this. In my experience, the markets can leave you feeling delirious one minute and despondent the next. I won't be following my own advice by day trading RR like some (I'd even get that wrong) but keeping the faith with my 96p buy!

Good luck with your investment here mountainous. You're in at a much lower cost than I am! :)

As convb says, the AGM & update takes place on the 12th May. Nobody knows not least of us investors what the outcome of the update will be whether good, bad or indifferent? If a level of support at 85p can be maintained and we have a positive update this could provide a welcome boost to the SP. Obviously, any news contrary to this could send the SP into a spiral. I'm looking out for positive news on aircraft engine maintenance & defence primarily but additional updates on alternative aircraft carbon neutral fuel as well as SMNR progress although I expect it will take time to get anything really exciting with regards to the latter. I slso suspect we will receive an update on the ITP sale & current debt status. Pretty much everything then! :))

No matter what target price investors have, for me it's a joy to see a blue start to the day. Fingers crossed it manages a finish the same way it started... and long may it continue!

In my opinion, it feels like the whole market is uninvestable at this point in time. Whether above or below water you just know LGEN will bounce back. Just a question of when?

Another drop in SP today... seems like every day is a good day to buy! :)

Garonne, another potential option to consider is wether or not the MM's are fighting to bring the SP down as far as they can before making their investment and ahead of the mid May update? Any good news here (over & above any expectation) could see a bounce up? Just one thought.

Same guy who said the RR share price would fly not so long ago. The truth is, nobody knows how any stock price will behave from one moment to the next. Just too many factors including MM's at play particularly with this one. I only invested 2 weeks ago and now very much underwater, but, as far as I know, the reason's for my initial investment have not changed and until they do, I shall remain invested but also watchful.

Dow sliding this afternoon. I'm expecting another deep red day for many stocks across the board tomorrow including our own RR I'm afraid. You really do need nerves of steel to hold here but that's exactly what I intend to do. Each to their own though.

If anything was untoward with the ITP sale then RR would have a legal duty to issue an RNS. Unless one is forthcoming then we must assume no change since the previous update. Some posters have shared their concerns on this board with regards to company communication. Or lack of it. I, for one, would agree with them. It wouldn't hurt to keep the market updated and thus on board. In the event no RNS' s are in the immediate pipeline, we might potentially need to hang on for another 17 days ( including today) for an update which I think is due on the 12th May. In the meantime, it's entirely possible this share price is being manipulated perhaps to catch a bounce in a couple of weeks or so time? I only bought in a couple of weeks ago so my losses (£500) to date are comparatively small . Even though my purchase is 2-3yr time frame, it's still not nice to see one's investment decline day by day. I remain hopeful for some good news on the 12th May then to bring some general positiveness to this board. Bad news and I may have to adjust my strategy but I'm hopeful the next update includes exciting updates on cash flow, ITP helping to pay down debt, defense, alternative fuel, increase profits from flying hours and last but not least, SMNR's. Fingers crossed.

Markets down again today due at least in part to the worsening covid situation in China. This is creating a headwind and thus the markets react in the only way they know... slash share prices! Unfortunately, LGEN is not immune but on the flip side, is this yet another good day to buy?

The market's in a bit of a tailspin this morning... just another one of those highly volatile days. The worsening Covid-19 situation in China appears to be of primary concern weighing heavily on market sentiment. RR's SP seems to be holding it's own as I write.

It's really important that new investors in particular are aware this is more an income stock as opposed to a growth stock. However, I'd like to say 3 things to any
1. The LGEN share price has, unless I'm otherwise mistaken, always increased over time so capital investment has all but been safeguarded.
2. I have been in & out of LGEN over a number of years but in every case I have made a profit. The old adage, not about timing the market but time in the market.
3. The LGEN board appear to be totally committed to increasing the divi Yr on Yr making this one of the best FTSE paying dividend stocks on the market if not one of the safest.
There will naturally be ups & downs along the way and no doubt we may see one of those dips again tomorrow but to me, that just presents "a good day to buy".
All in my opinion of course.

Thanks for sharing this with us prophetus. While not a huge fan of the Motley's per se this editorial maps out precisely the reason's why I made my first investment in RR last week but in particular, the fact that the commercial aircraft industry is now emerging strongly from the pandemic not withstanding of course the terrible events in Ukraine. At some point, we should see an end to this needless invasion with air traffic once again returning to (perhaps a new) normality allowing the likes of RR to recover to help further pay down it's debt. If all the negatives are priced in at current SP levels then the future of one of it's main core activities bodes well. In so far as nuclear is concerned, I strongly believe this is only part of the solution to the world's energy challenges albeit a very important one. Wind & solar should also play a part as should tidal energy. As a nation, we are surrounded by the sea. (check out Simec Atlantis - ticker code: SAE) As a great British engineering company I cannot believe RR have not got the required skills to design & develop innovative new turbines required for wind & tidal energies opening the door potentially to becoming a world leader in terms of the turbines required to provide these forms of renewable energy's. Can't believe RR have not already previously discussed any opportunity here at board level. Ok, that's summising. In terns of the SMR's, I would be much happier & relieved to learn RR have received their 1st order. I'm encouraged by convb's post yesterday that RR are slready pressing ahead by ordering a number of component parts. That means they are supremely confident an order is coming soon? Like the author of Motley Fool, I'm looking to add to my current RR shareholding but doing this on a drip feed basis on any dips as we move forward. I am not looking to day trade this share today as many are, as I believe, the true reward for investing here will be tomorrow.

Following my own advice, just bought a further 2000 shares at a fraction over £2.60. Like other postees on this board, I believe this will recover well. In what period of time I do not know as this is subject to general market conditions but I believe an investment here is better than leaving too much of one's savings (SIPP, ISA etc) in cash during this high inflationary period we are in. Just my own view of course and each to their own.

Nice to see at least one American company putting their money where their mouth is!

With sll the negative news floating across the pond today including rising costs of food due to the Ukraine invasion coupled with rising inflation not to mention the Fed's projected rate increase, we may see a plunging market today? I sincerely hope not but if it does it could drag down LGEN? After the ex div day yesterday, today could be a good time to buy?

It's amazing to think a nuclear reactor of this proportion can be built in 500 days. It really is. The video is definitely worth a watch. 1st time I've seen the modular in truth. 1st impressions are great "space age" design and looks relatively unobtrusive. From a personal point of view, I'm invested in RR as I believe it to be a relatively safe investment with values relatively low at sub £1 a pop with increasing air traffic and defense spend increases around the globe making this investment perhaps a safer one than one would reasonably expect considering recent fortunes. SMR's are not part of my reasons per se to invest but boy, what an incredible engineering project to have as part of the RR pipeline. I really hope it pays off but, in my humble opinion, plenty going on in other core areas to give confidence this world famous company is back on the rise.

There are always 2 jokers in a pack.

Hi iParsnip, consider your short, medium & long term investing strategies in RR but moreover, your reason/s for investing in the 1st place. For me, my hold & acquire on-the-drop strategy argument just gets stronger & stronger. This board is aflush with more knowledgeable people than me however so maybe they or someone else can provide a different view point.
