All time low? Not for those of us who have been in ITM for 20 years.

Talks a good game

Thanks, Bilboburget, for your note and for your various updates. For those of us on “the outside” living in hope of a return to the heady days of seven quid your sensible comments are appreciated

Positive ITM comment in tomorrow’s (Friday) DT Business section. This is a good month for serious ITM holders

Seem to remember Smithy buying at 600+ not long ago!

No postings from Seaangler for some time. Always thought he (she?) wrote sense. Trust all ok

Hmm. So are we all. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

He then went on to say that he’d sold a tranche last week at £4.46 so don’t get excited

Ha ha. Some chance. In fact more chance of a return your "175"

So you two not Mancs then? London presumably? Grew up in the rag glory days?

Pleased to note that JPM see things in a more positive light.

...........and if ITM and Ceres are the outsiders who are the favourites?

Yes, I've read the article in today's DT "Money" section. I'm not sure what the writer means when he says that "Ceres Power and ITM are outsiders in the race" - to me that doesn't sound very complimentary so is he saying that those two companies are long-shot bets? If so, why does he then mention the positive messages from the stock analysts?

Here's my recommendation - if PSmith says tomorrow's going to be a sunny day take an umbrella - or even a boat!

Spot on, Ladders!

Is this the 175 man???????

Thanks, Seaangler and Toneman, for taking the trouble to reply. Interesting. Cheers\

Always interested to read about selling part of holding. Do you then want the price to go up (meaning that you regret the sale) or down (meaning that you are pleased about your sale but wish you had sold more - or, indeed, all). I think the "mental' side of investment is very interesting. I'm a pessimist so would probably sleep better with a building society passbook (if they still exist)!!

Will probably sleep badly tonight in view of results tomorrow!

I've been in ITM since I read an article by Peter Hargreaves about ITM (Daily Telegraph) in the early 2000s -paid 132p for my original stake and watched them descend to 15p, at which stage I bought some more as an out and out gamble. Have added along the way and, but for a brief wobble when I foolishly sold some having read too much nonsense from Smithy (only to buy back in later), I've been a keen watcher of progress. However, when I see that Tesla is more valuable than every car maker in America, Korea and Europe combined despite only producing 1% of their output, I just start to wonder if the recent rise in "promising stocks" (Ceres, too) is too good to be true and, bearing in mind the current world situation, whether the expectation of some big orders is coming too early

I see that Ian Cowie has been selling some ITM. Does he know something about the results due later this month?
