It shall be interesting to see if the volume picks up down here @1235/45

Badland, maybe another pullback down to 1240 (Fib 0.38 and 150 hourly EMA)

Goldman Sachs raises Phoenix Group to 'neutral' (sell) - price target 752 (593) pence

Much closer to £15, so that's my number for COB Feb 26 GLA 🙌IV, meanwhile 13 is going to be blown away very soon!

Bav1975 100% hopefully, Davos teams are going to freeze him out. He has no human right to grab Greenland, the only real home of Santa Claus.

Ah — that’s just the limited-edition market wobble 😄

The kind that appears like clockwork every few months, arrives with great drama, causes much hand-wringing, and then quietly disappears once everyone’s finished shouting about it.

Think of it as the market’s seasonal clearance sale — no appointment needed, no refunds, terms and conditions apply.

Very sensible 😄 — nothing like a fresh tax year to summon a ceremonial wobble.

I’ll keep the sails trimmed; you stand by with the dry powder, and we’ll call it “disciplined timing,” not procrastination 😂

Fair enough 😄 — some people buy the dip, others prefer to wait for the scheduled dip.

I’ll keep sailing the ship in the meantime; if the next “four-monthly special” arrives, you’ll have dry powder and a front-row seat.

Silver is breaking out above 93, with the round number 100 incoming as a magnet.

By the way, Silver is rocketing up past $ 93 as we speak. Someone needs the silver lining; it looks pretty, and it's got its sights set on a round number of $100+ for now.

ShareFlyer,

What can I say, AI understands me. Scary, right? By the way, what are your Bingo numbers for the weeks ahead? You seem to run that frequently; you're due a winner soon! Meanwhile, it’s either AI or I start free-styling bad ideas.

Here is a breakdown of the situation based on recent developments:

Political Rejection: Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov described threats to seize or buy the island as a contender for the "most illegitimate land grab in history," noting that Greenland is not for sale.

"Utter Nonsense" Claims: Experts and commentators have labelled the idea that the US can simply take control of Greenland for its resources as "utter nonsense".

Protests and Resistance: Thousands have protested in Denmark and Greenland, delivering a "hands off" message to ensure respect for Greenlandic democracy.

Geopolitical Concerns: While the US considers Greenland vital for national security against Russia and China, critics argue that seizing it would violate international law and put NATO at risk.

No Legal Basis: There is no evidence of a legal claim, historical ownership, or broken treaty that would justify such an action, proposing a form of "political plunder".

Resource Reality: Despite claims about Greenland's valuable minerals, the harsh environment and lack of infrastructure make extracting these resources extremely difficult.

In summary, the notion of grabbing Greenland is widely considered a non-starter, with strong opposition from Denmark and local Greenlanders, who emphasise their autonomy.

Retirment,

Fair play — strong returns across the board and no argument that 2025’s been kind to you.

My point wasn’t to deny the recovery trade — it was to anchor where the recovery started from. Context matters when comparing outcomes, not just entry points.

You played the rebound well, 333 > 369, no question. I’m simply looking at the longer arc rather than the sprint — different timeframes, different lenses.

Either way, profits are profits. The market doesn’t hand out medals for how you made them — only that you did.

Retirment,

1-year context: The FTSE 100’s ~21 %+ annual gain in 2025 far outpaced M&S’s share price moves, which appear muted or modest (flat to single-digit) depending on the exact period.

Retirment,

Portfolio returns should be compared and correlated with those of the overall market. In the UK, compare your performance to the FTSE 100's 1-year return of 22.1% and/or the GB Market's 20.7% (Mr Market's SP 500 is 17%). Whether your portfolio has and is consistently outperformed these indices is the real question 4u to answer.

Retirment,

Fifteen days in and already calling the league table? Bold. Very bold. 😄

That’s like declaring the Grand National winner after the first fence because your horse started well and looks confident. Plenty of track left, a few jumps still to come, and more than one muddy patch waiting.

Fair play though — you’ve hedged it properly: a bit of M&S madness, some mining spice, dividends ticking over, airlines flying, and RR still sat there doing the heavy lifting at 42% of the pot like an engine that refuses to stall.

Let’s reconvene in 12 months. Winner buys the first round — assuming the ETF hasn’t dug a hole to China by then. 😉

Swoosh to be able to purchase RR shares @32 Pence at the RI, you would need to have held an original shareholding in the 1st instance. As a result, your cumulative returns are nowhere near a 3960% gain when calculated correctly.

A full and unconditional pardon is hereby granted to the ship’s loyal cat, Nettles, whose claws may have slipped in the heat of battle but whose service to this vessel remains beyond reproach.

As for years served, engines turned, and oceans crossed — all duly logged and respected. A long tail of victorious comments tends to follow those who’ve actually stood watch in the engine room rather than shouted from the dock.

Now then… claws sheathed, rum ration steady, and let’s keep the fire aimed at the horizon — not the crew. The ship sails on. 🐈‍⬛⚓

Sparkythecat, I am with you on that one 100% seeen more Rollercoasters than there is tarmac on the M6 🤣
