Added 1000@257 to the ISA for the tax free dividend. Might be a bit early but happy to hold here. GLA

It's true bp. Sentiment matters in AIM. I hope PANR works out for you. I will be watching, but not investing atm. GLA

PANR are not producing anything and have no income, so much higher risk and more speculative. We are a producing company here at least.

So it is ex dividend today but the price is the same as yesterday which equals a 37p. rise
Also this time the 40 pound support held very well
If this turns to be a higher low it is very promising for a much higher SP in autumn

I 've heard many times the opinion that this is not a good share because the SP has not gone anywhere since 2017. Well, for me that is a good thing!

Look at a 5 year graph of: GSK, VOD, BT, BATS, IMB, RDSB, BP, LLOY, CNA, ABF
... and those were/ are good reputable shares and recommended buys. I am not mentioning total wipeouts such as PFG, CPI neither leisure-related and covid-hit ones such as IAG, RR, CCL - many of those are still at -80% and -90%

I want to say that in the last 5 years most of the FTSE shares have performed poorly and the only reasons the FTSE 100 is in the high 6000s and not 4000s are reshuffles, commodity price inflation that drove miners' SPs up and AZN holding up.

Hi, I do not know what happened to my message that was posted here this morning, I cannot see it. It as meant to say the below:

I have bought shares here just because of this article: fool.co.uk/investing/2021/04/28/why-the-abrdn-rebrand-is-a-poorly-timed-distraction/

They are notoriously bad in their predictions and also as you can see in their trustpilot reviews people believe that they are talking down shares they want to buy and pumping shares they want to sell with their hedge fund.

Of course, this might not mean anything as it is not a proven link, however for me it was enough to hit the buy button today.

As always DYOR.

I agree, although I am heavily invested in ULVR, if the mother of all crashes starts tomorrow, this can go to 2800.

I definitely hold less shares than that and I guess it might be the same for most posters, as it is mostly average PIs that frequent these boards rather than big investors. Whatever the amount of shares, the most important is to use no margin and not invest money that will be needed soon, as fp well said.

It seems it wants to go lower. Added @ 3911 - wish I had more funds available. I am not worried about lower prices in the short term, because I do not currently need the money I have invested in ULVR so can afford to wait. The main reason for adding is not that I expect a short term rebound, but that the dividend is the most reliable in the FTSE and it is extremely unlikely to be cut. Holding the shares for a long time for the dividend should prove a sound investment.

It seems the fall has stopped for now and ship has steadied. Hopefully that was the low point. Although I hold ULVR and I believe it is undervalued at this price I am not as optimistic about a fast recovery, I think it will take more than a few weeks with ups and downs in the process. Also I do not expect any meaningful rise until after ex divi date. Still a strong buy as long as it remains under 40, but patience will be required.

I think it is very unlikely that we will see 4500 in the next few weeks. It will take longer, but we should exceed it by the end of the year.

I am a bit surprised by the bearishness of your post, which also seems to contradict the previous statement that you are happy with your shares. Would you then sell your shares - or have you sold them - in order to avoid the fall or buy back lower, or are you keeping them as they will come good in the long term? I am holding on to mine as I do not want to take the risk of buying back lower- also imho lower is where we are now, i.e. I d buy more now rather than sell any.

I was expecting an opening above 44 after reading the results, despite the pressure on margins. Free cash flow is impressive. It is a buy and hold for the dividend, that looks the safest in the FTSE

That particular share I am keeping forever - not even contemplating reducing below 3000p

A great chance to get out in profit if you do not like HSBC and the HK situation. I have taken it as there are other more undervalued shares with more potential IMHO. However, I still believe that HSBC is more likely to continue going up with the market in the short term. GLA

Added @4285, short-medium term target 4700, GLA

Ping An bought at the bottom. After the US election and the end of the pandemic we will see the recovery materialise. Looking for 100% return in the next couple of years. GLA

I expect better than anticipated results and I am back having bought @371 today. GLA.

Seems you did very well judging by the fall today. This is also exactly what I was referring to as a ceiling instead of a floor the other day, every time the share has a decent day, there is heavy selling bringing it lower straight away.
