Member Info for retirment

"I clearly stated this week."

Actually you stated "Why are defence stocks generally down after a weeks worth of world leaders,"

You DID NOT state "This week" facts matter.

The 3 top defence stock are well up the last 12 months I wish I got into BAE back then I sadly did not. I kick myself for not buying at £1600 in the dip ! 20% in one month UP !!! although I went in on the mining ETF which is 24% up so is what it is.

Defence stocks generally are up though the last year some by >100% !!

what are you talking about ?

The three strongest UK‑listed defence plays—based on market size, sector dominance, and consistent inclusion across expert rankings

Rolls‑Royce up 105% in 12 months

BAE Systems up 61%

QinetiQ up 37%

in my eyes ie FACTS these stock are up, yet you state they are down ! lol

i agree i want every one to be wealthy (or do i) it's a small club these days if you take out the top 0.5 elite rich the 0.5 to 1% club in wealth is 350k people from what 70 million in the uk !

but i am sorry to say 85% people don't really want to be wealthy ! it's the debt era !!

my mate calls them middle class w4nkers. ie massive mortgage, 2 bmw on pcp's and live in a 4/5 bed on a ok estate pretending to look rich and will always be cash poor but like to say they are on 60k 70k even 100+k pa each even £300k joint wages but still cash poor. poor as houses !!! and will have to work till 70..

so do i really want every one to be wealthy ! maybe not.

badland i know how hard it is to day trade i did it for 3 years ended up £6k down !!

i hope you have some m&s shares keep spending in there :-)

i stopped day trading i was bad at it ! saw covid as a once in a life time in my life to invest !! and went all in with every penny i had, and for 5 years went all in with every penny i earnt !!

all in every month for 5/6 years. zero spending on holidays, zero spending on my house which now looks a **** hole (just throwing >£60k at it as we speak) i still bought cars it's my weakness !!! point is i have no debt, no pcp's no loans ! my outgoings are small !! (bar car insurance at £4.5k !!)

while i was not poor in the first place was in porkers from 2005 and ran my own business, i am now in that 0.5 to 1% club. some luck in rr but some guts to stay all in all of the time and just keep buying. early days aston, boohoo, m&b, lloyds bp etc

trump day i was down 150k i think ! but not real money paper money next month up was £200k ! i was at the races at aintree i remember it well a few laughing at my £150k losses, i could tell they liked to see me loose the money. i was not bothered as a lth and not needing the money.

ukraine war was worse % wise what a time just after covid to then get hit by that war.

many of my friends who trade kept selling all out, i just held ! never sold and just pumped money in, chasing down shares when they were falling just buying buying buying. i think i got rr at 1.02 it dropped to 78p !! i was down but i was then buying at 78p !

money makes money and the 2nd million comes way way faster than the first million the 3 will come even faster but i plan to spend it lol i don't need 3 million ! i want a new life now. my new goal to cover every thing and now move house is another £400k well £300k now made £100k in jan some how !

750k was my goal to retire on at 55 live an ok life not move house etc . it's been totally smashed but 85% would not do what i did even my mates would not invest when i was pushing them to invest. i made my mate 30% he sold up. my other mates never invested. some of my rich friends sold all out 3 or 4 times !

buffet is right in the main, buy dips invest 20% of your earnings with out fail month on month and have no debt very few want to follow his words, i

JDS15 you are in group 2 of my member list :-) and need to get over it and be more happy and take advice from group 1.

As i said a few pages back, too many people in group 2 imo that seem unhappy they made money but not enough money !! but seem to dislike group 1 people !

issue is they did not have the money at the start to make the millions I guess. these people should be VERY happy they made a lot of money not unhappy at the group 1 millionaires!

I like CEV also he made me look at mining in a way I would not, and while i was not happy to go into one company (EEE or wishbone etc) i did buy an ETF mining group which as made me circa 20% in 23 days ! I listen to every one who has made money, it's about learning all the time vs RR at 5% YTD !

look at other wannbe's who will never be rich, they laugh at my IAG and M&S tips ! some say I will loose people money some say I am a liar lol

The forum has these 7 groups:

1: People who made life changing money and happy, risked the money early doors now millionaires.

2: People who made a bit and seem a bit jealous of group 1 and now will never be happy even though they made ok money

3: People who got in late and always now unhappy RR has not gone up 300% again !

4, 5 and 6: The others ! day traders, snipe trades and blinkered LTH who won't touch another share as RR will be £30 in 5 minutes !

7: People with no RR shares and here to abuse people or have £5k worth and expect to now be rich, wannabe angry people.

I find in interesting who makes what. Most other countries don't worry about talking figures, UK is so awkward

Talking about money in most other countries is tied to ambition, success, and transparency. It’s normal to discuss salaries, investments, and financial goals In US, Singapore, Netherlands, Asia etc. people share wealth.

I made more money looking and chatting to how wealthy people make money most if not all have been 100% open.

So what's the goal £100k a month not enough money ?

My targets £17k a month, and that's just crazy money TAX free of course.

As for exhaust got the Akrapovič ordered for the GT3 :-) ready for spring.

Badland, I bought RR today for a long time in years @ £12.40 will keep it a week see what happens :-)

But as an investor I am £95k up in 2026 so I still don't get day trading and stressing over daily price changes.

will that £12.40 buy make or loose me money ? that's now a stress position :-) is it worth it !

Ok it hit and bought at that.

I'll buy at £12.40 for a laugh. Put £10k in if it hits it see if there is a snipe in there.

Badland I am sure you are up enough this month not to worry about a daily SP move !

The market HAS already priced in a big jump in future profitability.

SO we will NOT see the silly gains we have had until the results year on year are not making the SP 40-50x earnings which as it stands is over valued.

But people get in early on the hope future profitability is real atm the market is betting on a great future and willing to pay a current over value.

as i posted in another thread knowing a future share price is totally impossible.

modelling has ranges and that's that.

financial analysts have less clue they just creep up the price after the price has gone up, and if they were real "financial analysts" they would not be working and be rich, "financial analysts" just sell funds and rip you off 8% on the fund nothing more just guys in the 20's selling ****.

base case: £14–£16

bull case: £17–£20

bear case: £11–£13

that's a pretty big range to go at. i would be happy at £14.50 dec 2026. but that base case range seem the most likely £14 to £16.

Livepari4 "How likely is £18 this year? I’ve set my target at that and waiting."

modelling =

Base case: £14–£16

Bull case: £17–£20

Bear case: £11–£13

No one knows the future, for one thing it's not going to be £30 ! I am saying £14.50 ish for Dec 2026.

- vessel is the formal term for any craft that travels on water.

only one here in a pirate boat is svend :-) some call him "Busta"

The forum has split sadly in these 6 ok 7 groups:

1: People who made life changing money and happy, risked the money now millionaires.

2: People who made a bit and seem a bit jealous of group 1 and now will never be happy even though they made ok money

3: People who got in late and always now unhappy RR has not gone up 300% again !

4, 5 and 6: The others ! day traders, snipe trades and blinkered LTH who won't touch another share as RR will be £30 in 5 minutes !

7: People with no RR shares and here to abuse people or have £5k worth and expect to now be rich.

:-)

There is no crew

There is no ship

There is no £15 in Feb

It's getting dull to be honest are you 12 ?

I actually like Trump :-) he gets stuff done.

(he does do illegal and bad things) but the good things out way the bad things imo.

UK does nothing ! only bad choices.

As for Greenland, he is actually right that it's needs looking after, the EU don't have the power to look after it, he just goes a bit OTT about how to talk about it lol.

Denmark has responsibility for defending Greenland, but it does not have the military power to do it !!!

US has bases in the UK and Greenland.

Greenland is strategically vital for the west and Denmark have NOT got the resources !

Trump has NOT started any wars, pat USA gov started wars ! in fact USA has stopped wars. :-)

USA is the only country to stop Russia or China from this north route !

SO in Greenland they have

- missile‑warning radar

- space‑tracking

- monitoring of Russian ICBM flight paths

Denmark don't have the power or any of the above systems !

Markrs "I’m lost today -25p on a fantastic market day

BAE - flat

IAG - up

Makes no sense"

IAG is still a recovery stock will be £6 again, up 2% again today and BAE red again today a great share as still in recovery.

Just ingore him and every one report the abuse posts, all the post about me he does I got removed, he will get banned soon enough.

Why would you expect further drops ? its gone up 20p from todays drop already.

Badland "Getting a bit messy this drop, 1240 now, so when is it gonna stop."

I am sure you know this answer and don't need it spoon fed to you :-)

On the plus side mining now up 20% in 2026 and M&S in the blue today.

As always hold a balanced pot and in these times you have to be in mining in some sort of form.

A lot of moaning again by the needy and greedy(not pointed at you btw) when it's just a trump tariff issue again.

give it a month be back over £13.
