Oh Dear, it looks like I might have stirred things up here today, sorry Mikey mate, I think you know I didn't mean any offence to you, but there are some Idiots on here who think they know it all, sadly I don't think they do, but (DYOT, do your own thinking) on that, I know Dan likes that one
Hope we have a better day tomorrow

There has been lot's of intellectual prople making predictions here over the last few years, and it's great to hear all your different views, but no disrespect meant to any of you, but upto date, the only one who has got it right so far, is mikey, make what you like of that guys, and i think any financial expert would advise on a balanced portfolio
Cheers

Dan i believe you, yea bring on tomorrow morning then, i can't wait, buy bye, lots luck, and don't you go doing any u turns on me now

Good afternoon guys, I think some people can take things a bit too serious on here, it says at the top( share chat), If you want professional advice, you need to go and talk with a financial advisor , not listen to misleading advice from amateurs on here
It is a chat room, where people can give their opinions, I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone how long this has been down in the red, well for me at least, It has has gone up to 140 a few times recently then dropped back down again, you can talk this up or down as much as you like, but for me I need to physically see the share price rising, I am cautiously optimistic about it rising, but that's just my opinion, and as Dan & SIDI say, nothing anyone says on here is going to make any difference
best of luck, hope its a good week

Dan, good evening mate, well it's gone up today after the report, not down, so sure that's obviously good, as you know I topped up recently at 118, so its nice to see that everyone is optimistic, even Mikey, cant ask for more than that ?, all this talk of bonds /undervalued/charts etc, etc, means nothing to me, unless its reflected in the share price, so if this keeps (creeping up} I will be very pleased, looking promising so far though, so fingers crossed
Have a nice weekend

Dan only joking mate, well sort of ?, ramping is ok, but really need to see the money to back it up, lets hope so
best of luck

lordloadsoflolly, Thanks for your views, funds and investment trusts can be a lot safer option ,and less volatile than individual shares, for instance 2 of my shares are still down vodafone and saga, and can take maybe a cpl of years to fully recover, had I left that money in funds, over say the last 18 months, they have mostly either just held their value or made steady gains, but as I said I still have 8 funds and this investment trust and intend to increase my holding in smt, don't fully agree with you though, sometimes things happen, such as this pandemic, and you can pick up some shares at a bargain price, and make some good rewards when they regain their value, also some dividend stocks such as lgen for instance, can be very good for income without touching capital, and lgen has a very good track record for increasing its dividends year on year, and buying in on dips can also increase growth
always best I think not to put too many eggs in one basket, but do agree its much safer to have the largest percentage in funds and investment trusts, but we all have different strategy's
best of luck to you all, and was another good day today for smt

cheapshares, well its the moment of truth tomorrow mate, and I for one will be very pleased if we can start making our way back to 140 fingers crossed

Welcome back sidi mate, Dan is feeling a lot better now, I told him to get a grip, he's now back to his normal argumentive, sarcatic self, at least he's not telling everyone to sell up and go away now, told him he was losing the plot, and he wouldn't have anyone to argue with of we all went away, anyway had a big wad of notes to put down on vod today, but none of the experts here would say if it's going up tomorrow
Best of luck, and hope it's good news

The question i have for all the analysists here, up or down tomorrow ??

Thanks guys all interesting stuff
for me I have to say, I have some good shares, but also some bad ones a couple are still down at the moment.
currently have
legal & gen. mng, vod, tesco, all good dividend payers, plus lloyds bank and saga, when i get the right price will be selling off most shares, and just sticking to maybe 2 dividend payers for income, and putting the rest back into funds and investment trust
wish I was in smt for the last 5 years like you guys, but I'm in now and hope it continues the same, thankfully i was able to sell off some of my worst performing funds, for topping up my shares when the prices bottomed out, so i am now starting to get some rewards from that now,
cheers guys, and best of luck

Lordloads & owls
My top four funds are
Fundsmith equity
Legal & gen us index
Lindsell train global equity
Legal& gen internatioal index
Not been with smt very long, but already 7.5% up so not bad
My all time favourite share is lgen great for regular high divident yield
What are your top few Lordloads
Cheers guys

Cheepshares , hopefully it will creep up after the update as well, that would be nice

Dan come on mate, get a grip your losing the plot here, just put mikey on filter and stop all this ballux please, and let's try and just have a laugh again, all this will pass by, and things will start rising again later on, there's much worse things happend over the last couple of years, i can tell you

Cheers Owls, always interesting to know what's working for others, also getting in at the right price is important of course, think we might be better off with a bank account and premium bond the way the stock markets getting battered at the moment though lol smt got away quite lightly considering the big hit today
best of luck

sd 166 , that would definitely be a bargain buy lol

notmyjob that's very true mate, and i don't think you will go far wrong with 250, good reliable dividend payer

Problem is, where is the bottom going to be

Oh well, i can forget about my hopes of retirement next year, i will probably have to work until I'm 70 if this carries on, I'm not being negative though ?

What's the other 9
