Torn between a late 1950’s Citroen DS and a DB9 (I wanted a DB7 but it’s too low for getting in and out!)

Guessing this good news is already priced in?!! ?!

AV .. 5 posts on a Saturday all negative .. what a life!!

You would expect 80p when market opens but such is the perversity of markets 70p is just as likely !!

Splendid news .. ducks lining up!

I topped up at 8am yesterday now up to 11 million shares .. a day too early. A consolidation would make reading the share price easier but of course it would crucify the share price! Alternatively a 10x rise on good news would simplify the share price!

That’s over £25,000 worth of shares. You must be confident! I’ve got 10 million shares .. enough for me!

I agree Croft. I could scarcely believe the recommendations I was looking at! My friends were indicating their risk profiles and risk strategies and time horizons and asking the IFAs to recommend how to structure their portfolios. Quite depressing. I’m also surprised by the FCA suggesting 5% annual growth as the “mid” growth scenario for an equity dominated fund.

Do you have sell strategy too BB hoppa? Mine is to be sell 1/3 when a share has risen 3 fold. After that there’s nothing to lose!

Fund managers do my head in. I wonder what they are doing sometimes. I have come across 3 cases with friends recently looking to invest sizeable sums of money with IFAs and they all recommended roughly 50% into U.K. equities which I simply could not understand. Looking back over the last 20 years or so the U.K. FTSE has been very poor averaging an average return of 3.5%, the worst performer of all major indexes comparing unfavourably with Stoxx Euro 600 4.3%, Nikkei 7%, Hangseng 3.4%, Dow 7.7% and Shanghai Composite 4.3%. Any decent adviser would be spreading risk more evenly than 50% in U.K. My objective when I started managing my own portfolios and pension inn2002 was to beat the FTSE by 50% and currently I’m at an annual growth rate of 6% over 22 years far outstripping the FTSE at 3.5%. This is inspite of some painful long term stragglers like RKH, BOR, SAR, TRP all of which are threatening to come good at last. My point is beware of financial advisers. There are great resources out there like Yodelar, Trustnet and Salty Dog who provide fantastic information sources to help you make your own decisions. I keep 10% in high risk stuff like the aforementioned shares and several others just for fun but most is properly diversified in funds.

The regular buyer of 10,000 shares. Do you think they might be the 20,000 buyer too?!

Totally agree £2-£4 must be a possibility and I’m sure I wasn’t alone amongst very LTH in taking the opportunity to significantly top up in early 2024 thanks to the RiverFort fiasco!

No worries there PP because I’m on the ManU side of Manchester (or Salford as the City fans like to tell us!!). As an investor in the likes of RKH, TRP, PRD and SAR I have suffered my share of leg pulling over the last 10 years by family and friends who are “experts” in these fields but I feel on the cusp of them all coming good at once just in time for Rachel Thieves to try and put a dampener on proceedings!!

When Manchester City moved to their new ground there was a competition to name one of the stands and the winner (sabotaged of course by Man U fans) was The Bell End. Disappointingly they called it the Colin Bell Stand .. missed opportunity I fear!

Changing Marathon to Snickers was a big deal!!

You’ve nailed it KeithOz that was indeed the original!

That pretty much doubles purchases for the day so expect a tick up in the morning.

Did he take himself off or was he banned?

Like many very LTH on here, I’m sure, I have been spell bound by the detailed knowledge and articulatarcy of our new arrival and I wish no harm on him, indeed hope he will still be a shareholder when we touch £1. However in the famous words of Rowan Atkinson I don’t think I would trust him to sit the right way round on a lavatory and if his family could be compared to a compost heap, and I think they can, he would be the biggest weed growing out of it.

Landman watched it .. agreed great series!
