SF,

Ah, so we’ve set sail into the shallow waters of comedy now — wooden legs and all that.

If that’s the mightiest cannon in your arsenal, then the credibility storm lies on your deck, not mine.

This Captain doesn’t need a peg-leg to stand upright — the charts, data, and tape do that just fine.

Those who confuse a bit of nautical flair for lack of substance usually prove only one thing:

their telescope isn’t pointed at the facts.

So by all means, keep firing rubber cannonballs.

The ship sails on; the noise stays in the harbour.

Retirment: everything you say is literally a lie or means nothing, as you are just full of hot air, pretending to drive around in four different-coloured Porsches, trying to signal that investments in second-hand cars make any sense. I think you'd be better off walking the plank https://www.tiktok.com/@cryingobiyt/video/7538142566659755286

Mark_rs very nice lift off time to reset the main sails again and prepare for full steam & throttle forward towards year end (Feb 26, 2025)

Retirment, you better stow away your shorts, they are now getting BBQ at the moment. The sooner you get out, the less they burn your bottom off.😆

''Did not sell any was out all day, only just seen the prices. No water here to worry about :-p''

In that case, you are not sailing anywhere or anytime soon😉

@retirment

''Going to sell £10k worth at £10.54

buy back in at £10.30

see it's that easy !!!!!! lets hope now it proves me wrong and smashed though £10.55''

How did it work out, and or are you still underwater?

Phuketpunter sadly, I think you might be spot on, as a simple challenge goes down without any response, maybe it's all just hot air and bluster.😉

Retirment here is a real skill test. Compare your portfolio with that of Mr Market, i.e. take Simply Wallstreet, they compares returns against all the main benchmarks to index and gives your portfolio a weekly rating based on either underperformance, overperformance, or matched the market itself. That is how to measure your achievements in stock selections. Do this for one full year, and let us know how many weeks out of 52 you outperformed, say the FTSE100? can you do this challenge?

Retirment,

''last year up 34% this year up 33% so far. I need 8% to live like I do and pay myself very well with no pot shrinking, 15% makes me a lot richer +15% is magic money. YTD RR is 78% up so happy days.''

The SP500 is up 36% from a year ago, and you're missing out on 65% from the 78% rise in RR is more of an underachievement; maybe you would be better off just flying RR solo.😎

The SP dropped below the clouds and the daily 94 SMA, and is now working on regaining altitude, having previously surged through the 94 SMA last Friday. Now, the question for retirement is: Is he hiding the offer at 1054? Or staying grounded?

Maybe Turnaround Tuesday 😉

Retirment Let's see how that goes 4y, and keep us all in the know, time stamps when your trades are placed.

The Touro mining company promises to source more than 65% of its supplies from Galician providers. The general manager of Cobre San Rafael, Fernando Riopa, assures that they are already collaborating with 70 companies in the surrounding area and that the mine's operating period will generate 1,600 jobs.

Typical December Trading — Choppy First Half, then the Santa Claus Rally

Retirment, Good for you that VUAG is up 18%, but one fund doing well doesn’t suddenly mean every other investment has peaked or stalled. RR having a pullback/correction doesn’t equal “no growth.” Corrections happen after major runs—it’s normal market behaviour, not a sign the story is finished.

As for “flying hours peaking,” that’s pure speculation. Aviation demand moves in cycles, and treating a single soft patch as if it means the entire sector is capped forever is a stretch. Plenty of investors take profits after a long run—again, standard behaviour, not a red flag.

And blaming the next four years on some guaranteed lack of growth is oversimplified. Companies don’t just freeze in the face of a government change. Cash flow, contracts, operational performance, and global demand matter far more than political mood-music.

If you’re happy with your VUAG returns, great—seriously. But that doesn’t automatically make RR a dead investment. A pullback doesn’t erase long-term potential, and writing off an entire growth trajectory because of a correction and a few assumptions is more emotion than analysis.

In short, one fund rising doesn’t mean everything else has peaked, and a correction doesn’t mean the growth story is over.

Remind the tea leaves onboard our Rycey don't lie, 37 straight months of higher lows and less than 3 month to results day.

Enjoy the voyage🙌 IV

Retirment, you're missing the point, and now you're the fool. The UK is outperforming the USA this year. EWU is up 26.74%, while the NDX is up 21.30%, SPX 13.78%, and INDU 6.01%. That is a fact.

Retirment, Listen here, sailor—ye can’t judge the whole voyage by a choppy couple o’ months. The seas rise and fall, that’s the way o’ the market winds. A dip don’t mean the ship’s sinkin’.

A few lads bought in at the peak o’ the hype, aye, but that’s why a wise captain spreads his treasure, not piles it all in one chest. Callin’ long-term holders “blinkered” is like shoutin’ at the crew for ridin’ out a storm—they just see beyond the next wave.

Sure, the days of 100% gains be gone, but that don’t mean the journey’s over. If yer happy sailin’ for 15% a year, good on ye—but other captains chart their own course.

A rough patch o’ sea only sinks ye if ye jump overboard, matey.

It ended up being a choppy month, very similar to April — another month where the market couldn’t fully make up its mind and finished right in the middle of the monthly range. Even so, the broader trend hasn’t changed. The price has now completed 37 straight months of higher lows, continuing its move steadily upward.

With annual results incoming at the end of February, we could see an extra boost in momentum. The volatility readings (ATR) are rising at 79.88, and the long-term moving averages are widening out. In simple terms, the price is still climbing and gaining altitude, following a strong upward path. Enjoy the voyage 🙌IV

Gents,

Now compare that to Rolls-Royce’s upcoming engine. RR’s new platform has been designed with far more modern digital controls, updated FADEC software, and improved thermal management from day one. In other words, they’ve already built the newer engines to avoid exactly the kinds of software-state problems that are causing P&W the headache.

RR’s next engine generation also uses cleaner airflow paths and upgraded materials that handle temperature swings better — making it much harder for moisture or ice to build up in the first place.

So while P&W is dealing with a glitch that appears only on the ground because of the engine’s software logic, RR’s new engine has been developed with newer sensors, smarter software, and a more robust architecture to prevent this kind of issue from happening at all.

Different generations, different outcomes — P&W is patching a problem, while RR’s next engine has been built to avoid it entirely.

GLA Enjoy the voyage
