At $101. Hoping this will be "the Tesla of the vegan movement". Current share cap already $6b, with almost infinite growth potential as snowflake millennials go veggie. On the downside, it's still losing money. But investing in the clear market leader is rarely a bad idea.

Over the last year. Very nice, only decent thing I've had, other than the divis, from my purchase of GE 10 years ago.

Very nice green patch on an otherwise very red day for my portfolio

Glad I shoved my divi back into this at £59 a couple of weeks ago. With iron ore pushing well past $200 and rising (against costs of $50 and less) Río has only one way to go. Might topslice at £75.

Stuck myself down for a few more. Decent divis and reasonable prospects for long term growth

"the Board now expects the Group's adjusted PBT for 2021 to be materially above current market expectations" - which explains the current 8% jump in share price.

Got my small holding when this was spun out of Pfizer and decided to treble the holding - low divi but huge growth potential

Added a few more to my (very) long term holding - had a few Reckitt and Coleman from when my grannie died. Only 3% extra, but will probably reinvest my divi when it comes. Now (just) my largest holding after Berkshire Hathaway.

Yup, me too, more than wiped out Sirius losses, and a nice chunky divi coming in on Friday. Thinking of ploughing it back in to AAL - £50 next year?

Up 2.8% today, should mean a decent start to the week in London tomorrow

£13.75 for me

Yup, looks very decent, should get our divis back to 2019 levels, and sp back over a tenner very soon. Glad I held my nerve last year.

According to seeking alpha.

Up 7.2% at close on Wall St. Very nice - topped up last week at £1.37 and then saw it dribble down, so glad to be slightly up on the deal (and healthily on my average buy of c85p)

Sounds like we'll get a tiresomely small number/value of Thungela shares - in my case around 250 with a probable value of around five hundred quid. Hardly worth having. But sometimes these spin offs can be quite lucrative in the longer term - my Zoetis, spun out of Pfizer 6-7 years ago, have gone up over 500% since, so are now worth having. And Reckitt's Indivior soared fourfold at first (and then crashed down again)

Dipped in to add another 10% of my holding, using up part of this year's ISA sub

Stuck a third of this year's ISA sub into Shell, upping my holding by about 5%. Long term holder (since Shell T&T in the 80s) so hoping the covid downward blip will soon by ironed out.

I went to one for the first time last week, as I'd read somewhere that their hot cross buns were the best. It was horrible. Dreary range of products poorly presented, little attempt by shoppers at social distancing, not entirely clean and massive slow queues at the check outs. Also a far less convenient location than the local Tesco or Sainsbury's. If saving a few p is so important that it trumps time, convenience, cleanliness and choice, then I can (just) see why people might go there, but I never will again - especially with 25% off most wines in Tesco this week, and a perfectly drinkable prosecco at under a fiver.

Reckitt: Deutsche Bank reiterates buy with a target price of 8,200p

Last three years I've ploughed the divis (and more) back into more Rios, most pleasingly last April when the price was briefly back down in the £30s, so I've now got over 20% more shares than I had back then. I see no reason not to put this April's £2.90 straight back in, especially if the price stays in the £50s.
