Keep noticing that it gets to 997 and drops back. Not sure how many times it has happened.

Does anyone have a site that lists the daily high for a stock for say the last 28 days? I did have a quick dig around but couldnt find one.

Will be intersting to see where is heads once the 'electric fence' of 997/1000 has been succesfully jumped.

Fair play Moby. Like you I have been in this for years. Still have a fair few but will be sticking around a bit longer.

I have also been having a little play with CVS https://www.lse.co.uk/SharePrice.html?shareprice=CVSG&share=CVS-Group that has plunged from the heights of £20+ to below £10 in last 6 months or so due to a pending CMA enquiry into UK Vets. AIM listed. Like this it forever seems to get stuck in a zone, so just waiting for a breakout!

Good Luck and pop in and say Hi :)

I agree with all that you have said.

The other challenge Vets are facing is shortage of actual Vets as well as Nurses. Gaps everywhere therefore movement is easy if they fancy a change. That in turn will mean paying a bit higher to retian/attract talent.

I am not in deep here (685 shares) which I have purchased at various prices, at a current average of £11.12 per share.

I do think if we see this breakout the current trading range it could move up fairly quickly. It seems to be hitting the 'electric fence' just below £10 and dropping back.

Jay K - I get it . It was Russia/Ukraine that time but there has been 'something else' other times. My mistake has been (for example) I will sell some when it gets to 200p, it gets there, I think, this will probably go a bit higher I will sell when its gets to 220p, it drops back a little, I think shall I sell at 190p, I say, no it will get back to 200p and as soon as it gets there I am shifting some, it then doesnt get there! :) Yes flexibilty is key but actually taking action is the big one for me!!!

I am also loving this recent rise however (sorry to be a doom merchant) but I remmeber just over 2 years ago (jan 2022) it was sitting around 215 and I thought we could see 3 quid by the end of that year! You know what happened next.

Long may it continue to rise but I have been 'greedy' in the past and not sold when it reached a target price. I have then sold some over the years and see it rise. I am always invested in this but all I will say is, I hope I learnt that if I have a target price I will stick to it. (easier said than done when all is looking rosy!)

I keep telling myself time will be my friend. Patience is the game here. It will get back to 'decent' levels, its just when.

I always thought it was tracked via National Insurance number and picked up that way. So multiple across different banks would be spotted.

Staff Sharesave always matures in November. So that Q will see an increase (although they have 6 months to excercise most will do on maturity)

See Lloyds annouced they have set aside £450m for Motor Finance Claims in todays results update.

When you thinking of taking them hands out the pocket Mr A? Sub 135?

Doesnt seem to have done much in early trading! Tesco is up though as using the proceeds of sale for Buybacks.

I agree that anything negatvie about banking shifts this share.

Wouldnt say the Regional Bank in US is totally tin pot though!

420 branches (more than Barclays) and 81 Billion on deposit (Barc had 243 billion in Q3 results)

Yes smaller but not as small as some!

Well done Mr A. Nice profit as ever. As always there will be more oppurtunity. I am still just sitting long at the moment, no plans to get out. I MAY sell if we break 165 and then look to get in again lower but never quite got timing right with out and in deals!!!!

Happy New Year Mr A and others.

I am still fairly deep here for various reasons! Still longer term for me albeit I may start to dabble in some more swing trading this year. I will let you all know if I decide to sell any, as that is more often than not the signal for others to buy!!!

My guesstimate for end of H1 is 168 and year end we will be around the 185 mark. Purely a guess so dont hold me to it!!

Have a great Christmas and New Year Mr A (and all other posters here)

See you in 2024

Hi @fusion98 - I am lucky and dont have an average anywhere near 300. I was only saying those that have been on this board a number of years are aware that some posters have been invested for a long time and have much higher averages and the 162 you mentioned is way off what people are wairting for! GLA.

@fusion98 - It may recover for those in at sub 200/250 in short term. Not sure that is the case for those (as some here are) at a 300+ average anytime soon!

Also KYC(ID&V) for account holders has come under scrutiny from the regulator (all banks not just Barclays)

If you opened an account 33 years ago and havent updated your ID, they are likely asking for a refresh of that.

There will be a reason, I dont suspect they are just freezing bank accounts for the fun of it (the regulator wouldnt like that either!!)

I read that they will sell for c£510m for 141p? They are only halving their stake not fully jumping ship.

Redundancy always comes with a significant cost to achieve, would assume this cost would come out of 2024 financials as will be a consultation period and staff normally get 3 months notice.
