Sold my position for profit, going to start a position in AMD. Hope everyone makes some money.

Any reason Morgan Stanley is buying in?

What's got IDS's price action trending at £3.50? Is it the general buoyancy of the FTSE or is there news coming? Perhaps the market see's Christmas helping with RM's numbers.

Whats your price target?

Any news as to what's happening with DK's takeover? Price action appears to be trending between 3.36 and 3.44 in anticipation of any buyout or failure to buy outcome.

Sorry for the poor English in the last message. In a rush to go home lol

I used to work at Greenford Mail Centre. I took VR after working there for 22 years part time whilst working full time in the evenings as a lawyer for the CPS for the last 15 years. They also introduced a LPSM at this office and it needed about 10 people to run it. I was working on manual parcels at the time and the what I could see was they needed less and less staff to run parcels. By the time I left the office was starting to become very quiet in regards to work to staff ratio. I recall they were going to bring in another machine but I think the Union were digging their heels. I don't quite know what the state of play is there now. However, I could the managers were becoming more ruthless with staff and sending them into different areas of the mail centre. Many older staff members who had ailments due age or general health and in my view were perceived as liabilities so managers constantly moved them into these harder areas in the hope that they take VR. Because of my dual jobs they told me they could no-longer accommodate my shift pattern hence why I took the opportunity with VR. That was the state of play when I left. I still keep in contact with old colleagues. I will ask them what they are seeing in the mail centre. Maybe relay this information onto here.

I guess it was because I own Palantir since 2022, NVDIA stock since 2023, I also bought Amazon below $100 so they've really been exciting to watch and hugely profitable. Been in RM with a cost average of £2.20. Just been itching to see more gains and yes I have watched it go to over £5 during covid, just thought they could hit those levels again.

Does the share price ever move up for this company?

Thanks for the insight.

If we get for example 3.60 a share what happens to our shares? Do they get automatically sold at that price? Can we hold? How does it actually work?

Use to work for RM sorting office P/T for 22 years took VR near enough this time last year. Before I left the place it felt a bit grim I would say largely because of Simon Thompson managers kept choosing their favourites to do the easy jobs and others kept getting moved about to areas involving heavy lifting etc.. Work was also being hidden if not processed to make the numbers look good too. I work a full f/t job too in a white collar role so I saw the VR offer as a good chance to get out. What I was seeing in my last days were managers trying to push out those with disabilities and older persons to take the VR. I miss my colleagues but not the management and practices being implemented. There is another cycle of VR being offered at the mail centre from what I've heard as I'm still in whatapp groups with former colleagues. Call it selfish but I want a takeover so I can ride the price up for a final share sell like a parting gift from RM.

Looking for insight amongst fellow investors but all I read is ego's bickering.

What are people's plans? Buy the rumour sell the news? Or is it better to hold?

Cas, I thought you were a deramper but your predictions about RR are true so far.

I took my money out and bought tesla, workhorse at £10 per share, dphc, shll and some other ev spacs at their lows. You can laugh but just Google them and see where they are now.

I felt it was not going to improve. Cut my losses and only ended up losing £150. Maybe buy in when I see things improving. I've gone into EV companies now already 12k up. The uk just doesn't move as fast. Really negative investing in this country.

The UK market has tanked. Im making **** loads in US EV stock.

One small problem with that. Thats Hydrogen Japan not Hydrogen UK. This is just clutching at straws at anything that starts with the word hydrogen. The UK is slow and is poorly funded. ITM will take ages to ever hit profits. How can apple be worth more than the entire FTSE 100?? All the inventive and forward thinking tech/engineering firms are just not believed in. I'm not saying ITM is a bad company, its just that the UK investors fail to back these firms. Why isn't anyone in the UK making EV cars for example?? Theres just appears to be lack of technical abilty and finance. All we do is rely on the traditional banking businesses and old world oil/gas industries.

Lol
