Ian,
I'm a long standing and regular lurker, that posts very little, but reads the board a lot.
I (apparently) blacked out whilst walking and used my forehead to break my fall upon the pavement.
Not a sensible option.
Lots of blood and stitches and scars. However, still able to tell the tale.
For me, the longer term aspect (after initial physical recovery) was shock and confidence.
Just wished to mention it, so you are aware.
My shock lasted in excess of a month, and confidence can be hampered.
Hope not the same for your good lady.

That's useful. Thank you, Soj.
Isn't it sad, that over half the narrative is a disclaimer!!

Hi Paul,
That's fine...ish.
Let's just hope we all continue to feel comfortable with Stroll's lead.
I'm still with him, but the road is rockier than i first thought.
A rocky road, is never a good feel in a high performance car!!

Err, have a read it correctly.
Lord Bamford has extended an agreement that he will use his shares, and vote exactly how Stroll asks him to?
Mates, in high places, eh!!

I'd echo that.
Come on Billy, not like you to be shy.
Whatever are you finding to do, early in the morning, that is as much fun?!!
Hope all is ok with you.

Oops, with the qualifying.
That wasn't in the script.
Not one screen shot of AM in the tv highlights.
It can only get better.

You are.
However, understandably so, and probably correct.
You are like minded to me, too!!

I don't think that is rubbish.
Just look at the spread and transfer of wealth in any country, so called civilised or so called third world.
You can apply Maslow's hierarchy of needs, quite aptly here.

Hi Jon,
Why not top slice?
I followed in Billy's footsteps, as he's usually on the money (pun intended).
I've now sold 25% of my holding.
5% at £4.75, 20% this morning at £5.07.
I still think there's more to go, but will be further reducing at £5.50 and onwards.

If you take some out, look at it as getting the best of both worlds?

Good luck, whatever you do.

Yep, again i agree with your sentiment.
There's more in it for Glen to rise.
Be nice if your £7 came about.
Interesting times at the moment. Just referring to the market. Obviously, some tragic times for many.
Who would be our PM in these volatile times.
Often viewed but not touched AIM, until now!! Time will tell. It's not a huge amount.

Hi Billy,
As mentioned before, i do like your style.
I always listen to what you say, since invariably you are 'in the right area'.
You put the wind up me when you bailed from Glen a little while back, since it was below my target.
Been nervous since, but managed to ship some out at £4.75 during the week.
Still looking for £5.00 to £5.50, which i think will come if/when we get a ceasefire. It's taking Putin longer than he thought to secure his area of neutrality though.
Wait for it.......
I bumped my Glen proceeds into an AIM stock!! Aaaarrrggh.

Keep up your valuable comments Billy, i'm sure many appreciate them, as i do.

Bill and Ben!!??

Mine were fine.
Received separately, but simultaneously.
Together with 2 email alerts, confirming receipt.
Suggest you speak to your broker, if you are sure not received.

Billy,
Putin won't do anything whilst Olympics on.
And probably not afterwards, it's all sabre rattling.
I'm still in with Glen, and also BP, and speculative Tullow.
My timing has, luckily, been good with Tullow, and they are doing me proud. Still more to go with oilers.

Hi Billy,
Good to see you're still posting, even though you've sold (all?) Glen.
You got a good price.
I'm hanging on for a further 10/20%, if it comes!!
Keep up the good posting.

There are 3 ways of viewing your average cost.
1 includes top sliced profit, 1 doesn't, and the 3rd takes into account dividends, if and when paid.
A broker, and thereby your portfolio doesn't include profit, nor dividends. They use price average merely upon purchases, which is, IMO, the better way to view your average.
The figure quoted here 'as below £1, must include the profit made from sales.
Personally i use a figure excluding profit for day to day comparisons, and also keep a separate spreadsheet showing the overall average including profits. A dividend paying stock further complicates matters!! Do you include or exclude that in your average cost calculations.
Then you have Glencore, who treats dividends as a capital repayment!!!

If some-one quotes their average, one needs to clarify on which basis they are quoting that.
Hope this helps.

Couldn't agree more Justbeing.
You are spot on.
Very long, slow road ahead of TUI.
The only thing flying here, will be the planes!!
But, not today. A red day beckons.

Well, i'm not in that league.
That's premier league, i'm more national league south!
However, I'm in at 48,000 @ £0.32. So not complaining.
Actually if i take into account previous profitable trades with Tullow in last 18 months, my average is £0.14.
So, happy bunny.

Apologies if that appears to gloat. I do have other stuff negative to balance the scales!!

I read here, but hardly ever post.
I've binned quite a few, but have cleared my filter recently.
As Bancal said, they obviously soon disappear, since i was getting very few green boxes, prior to clearing.
I give every-one a 2nd chance, but happy to bin them again, if needs be.

Please accept my deepest condolences, Matty.
What a lovely way for your Dad to finish his life, having you caring for him.
Sit and enjoy the lovely memories you have of your Dad, when you feel sad.
