"Very good indeed" ...

Only 18.5% down then. Thank goodness the results weren't just "OK".

I bought more last week. Since then it's only gone down. We've had these noises on the back of half-year results so many times that it's now worn thin.

Well, it sounds exactly like every other half-year report:

"It all looks very promising ... Maintaining shareholder value* ... it'll all come good when the market's more positive ... "

* So why am I 40% down?

NS&I currently have a 1-year fixed Guaranteed Growth bond at 6.20%. It might start to fall soon, though, given the last fall in the inflation rate.

Boyo, the 27% rise was in response to news issuing from Ocado itself and was thus reasonable. Yesterday's 20% fall was in response to a rating and target price from an organisation to whose name most reacted with "Who?" and was, therefore, irrational.

Exane downgrade. See other threads.

Ridiculous, bordering on disastrous.

Bet you wished you'd set it at 650 now, eh?

Was Tuesday's event a washout?

Yes, anything going into your ISA is free from tax, be it dividend income, capital gain from stock sales, etc. The dividend issuer, though, should not be taxing it as everyone's tax circumstances are different.

Should certainly see the £ weaken a bit, especially if the BoE looks like skipping an increase on the back of the inflation rate drop.

Well, quite. But this is a chat board and not everything has to be an in-depth analysis. Sometimes people want to bemoan or laud their failures or successes - God knows I've done enough of the former! I like to hear that they're human and experience the same rollercoasters we all do.

Thanks.

"That's a bit meaningless imo, assuming you mean it's more than double (not less than half)."

Really? It just means he paid more than £14. I too paid around £12.70, so I'm a bit encouraged to see some stabilisation and a slow movement in the right direction.

Exactly my feeling too, Sheriff. The silence is painful and I've completely lost faith in Walwyn & Ltd Co. When Project Kuiper was announced I asked how they thought it would/could impact BBB's operations and future plans. Silence.

Chilling, the dismissal of Steiner would be a good start.

Until they ditch the adolescent name change this company will do nothing.

Yep. My car insurance renewal quote in June was up c.20% on last year (LV=). I spoke to them and they offered to reduce it to about a 15% increase as an "over-the-phone" renewal. I said I still felt I'd have look around elsewhere first due to that rate of increase. When I got other quotes they were all above the original quote from LV=. I phoned them back to renew with them, the guy asked me if there were any changes from last year, I said there was one (minor change) and I ended up paying just over 12% more than last year. It's a hassle, but I guess if we have to be careful it's worth it.

Yeah, but it's another nail in Steiner's coffin. He said the Karakuri gear was "potentially a game-changer in the preparation of food-to-go." He doesn't seem to get much right.

The trouble is we're currently going through Boris Johnson's death throes, so anything that sounds like boosterism is going to be looked at askance. If Brexit, for example, had been a rip-roaring success the SP would be rocketing. At the moment, though, we don't know what or who to believe across the board.

"There was progress across all the Company's geographies and business units in the period in terms of expanding the product offerings, implementing new core platform systems and a sizeable reduction in costs, recognising market challenges globally. The Company is therefore well positioned for the second half of the year."

And so the SP falls 8.33%. Why does no one believe you?
