Zoom out, matey, an’ the chart shows its true colours. This mighty vessel o’ a share be sailin’ steady, markin’ its 35th moon in a row o’ higher lows. The daily n’ weekly squalls ye see be but market noise, no more than sea spray off the bow. What it truly signals be the great institutions quietly loadin’ their treasure chests, buildin’ their stakes slow n’ steady, lest their size rock the whole market ocean.

ShareFlyer translation:

When viewed from a broader perspective, the trend is more evident. The share price is on track to record its 35th consecutive month of higher lows, with the daily and weekly fluctuations representing short-term market noise. This pattern suggests ongoing institutional accumulation, as large investors typically need to increase their positions gradually over time to accommodate their scale.

Rycey is firmly back on track enroute to 1111

Jefferies is positive on the stock with a Buy rating. The target price continues to be set at GBX 1290.

Onward & Upwards

Littleaston, yes, let's hope the results are great, and if we get the reintroduction of the dividends, the shorts will go up in flames all round.✨

Here we go, please walk the plank, Starmer

A true victory for the nation of the UK.

Trello, 100% agree that in that case, the government might even be able to offer its citizens free airline transport rather than a free bus. 🤣

Courtesy of shared24 on advfn: SMR and Power Systems are high-growth areas for RR. More details in the video below, Rolls-Royce CFO Helen McCabe discusses the company's defense sector spending, its deals with governments for small modular nuclear reactors, and talks with hyperscalers.

CornishPete agree the last paragraph is the Take off & Take away part:

'' Rolls-Royce chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic, who has overseen a 10-fold increase in share price since taking over in January 2023, later told the BBC that the group has the “potential” to become the UK’s highest-valued company.

His optimism has been built around the company’s role in powering the data centres behind the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Erginbilgic estimates that the world will need 400 small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) by 2050, a market he wants and expects Rolls to dominate.''

Edward75, Yes 100%, interest rates down and Rycey on to the moon 🙌.

Edward75, Yes, SP 500 departed and Taken Off above 6500, with a clear full moon in sight here from the UK, so hopefully, the afterburners shall kick in tomorrow for another shoot towards the blue skies ahead. Enjoy the Voyage 🙌🚀IV

True enough, shipmate — the ship may be anchored in these waters for a spell, but I spy fine winds ahead. With new engines firing, SMR dominoes lining up, and trade winds favouring aviation once more, this vessel’s set for fairer seas. A steady deck now often be the calm before the next surge o’ tide.

Gridstone good luck. I am guessing the 'Stay true' + 'Scandinavia' each way, i.e. the favourite and/or the donkey, who knows it's a gamble, a toss

Either way. Enjoy the race and have some fun either way, best of luck. 🤞

Gridstone, game shipmate, maybe we can predict the 2 favourite horses for the finish at 3:40 E/W bet?:

St Leger acceptors

Arabian Force

Carmers

Furthur

Galveston

Lambourn

Lazy Griff

Rahiebb

Saratoga

''Scandinavia''

Shackleton

''Stay True''

Tarriance

Tennessee Stud

Thrice

Minnie Hauk

''Betfred St Leger, Doncaster, September 13

Betfred: Evens Scandinavia, 11-2 Lambourn, Lazy Griff, 7 Carmers, 10 Minnie Hauk, 12 Arabian Force, Stay True, Tennessee Stud, 16 bar.''

Which ones are your favourites?

Cheers, shipmate Peakdread — the Captain just keeps his spyglass polished and the charts updated. Always glad when the crew find the research worth a read.

For the record, “Attention seeking? Nay, matey — if I wanted attention I’d sail Nettles the cat across the deck in a tutu. What I post be research, not circus tricks. Best to fire your cannons at the numbers, not the Captain’s hat.”

Shareflyer Labelling a contribution as ‘attention seeking’ doesn’t add anything to the discussion. If you disagree with the content, challenge the facts, the reasoning, or the conclusions — that’s how we all learn. But dismissing effort with a throwaway remark says more about intent than substance.

Ha! No offence taken, shipmate — the old adages be like barnacles on the hull, they stick around year after year whether the tide proves ’em or not. I just like to haul out the charts and see if the sea’s really been running with the current or against it. Arabian Force may win the sprint, but I’m more interested in whether the wind favours that breed of vessel in the long voyage. DYOR aye, but sometimes it pays to sail the course backwards to see if the legend truly holds water.

Jakeyork take a moment out and do the investigative legwork before posting a simple calculation based on the FTSE 350 index, would have told you that

roughly only 9 out of the last 25 years (~35–40%).

What I’m counting as “successful” here is the summer stretch being weak enough that being out from ~1 May until St Leger Day (mid-September) would have beaten simply staying invested over that same summer window. Two UK data points get us there:

FTSE 350 & peers (20-yr cut): interactive investor found that in the prior 20 summers the May-to-autumn period was positive in 12 and negative in 8 across

FTSE 100/350/All-Share—i.e., “sell in May” would only have helped in ~40% of those years.

FTSE All-Share (latest 20-yr cut, May–Sep specifically): Hargreaves Lansdown found the May–September window was negative in 6 of the last 20 years (~30%).

Both series point to the same ballpark: about one-third to two-fifths of the time, not a majority. That aligns with broader UK seasonality work (e.g., the classic “Halloween effect” showing winter outperformance, but not reliably negative summers every year).

Here’s the clean answer, based on what can be verified right now:

On a strict UK-market cut using May→mid-September (St Leger) seasonality, the “Sell in May, buy on St Leger Day” idea works only about one-third to two-fifths of the time. Across 20- to 38-year samples on the FTSE All-Share (a 98–99% market-cap proxy for the FTSE 350), summers are negative 30–40% of years — not a majority.

For the past 25 completed summers (2000–2024), that implies a FTSE 350 hit-rate of ~9–10 of 25 years (≈35–40%) — directionally the same as the verified All-Share counts and the FTSE 350/All-Share 20-year studies.

Aye Sparky, let’s not be forgettin’ why we sail aboard the mighty vessel Rycey, ridin’ first class with our hammocks slung close by berth 1111. ’Twas the Iron-Handed Lady Thatcher herself who first set the keel straight back in ’87, rebuildin’ this grand hull o’ fortune that now carries us across the high seas! ⚓️🚢

Aye, crew, here be a nugget worth chewing on – near half o’ Rolls-Royce’s backers hail from the New World. That means when the Yankee coffers open wide, this ship can catch a mighty tailwind.

If Turbo Tufan and his officers chart the Roadshow with the right tales – SMRs sparking to life, UltraFan slicing the skies, and fat margins from the service docks – then the American funds’ll be hoisting the sails alongside us.

Mark me words, £12 landfall may be on the horizon sooner than the doubters reckon.
