Is ripping higher now, surpassing back above the Monday opening range and routing back towards ATH 🚀😎

Harleygreen, Badland Investing in stocks is a lot like cooking with corn:

🌽 Some kernels explode into glorious popcorn — loud, exciting, and ready to be devoured.

🌽 Others just sit there... silently... burning at the bottom of the pan, pretending they were never part of the batch.

Moral of the story? Don't get too attached to every kernel — some were never meant to pop.

Nettles, Peakdread, now that Rycey is sailing well above the clouds in upper lane 9, maybe the time to look at a couple of international copper plays. AAZ and ATYM are on my double shortlist within a 2-year horizon, and a very speculative punt is HE1, which has an incoming signed-off ML in its portfolio, along with a former Exxon executive joining the board. This could balloon significantly with ever-rising helium prices once production kicks off in Tanzania. IMOO DYOR

No Reason to be sorry at the end of the day, nobody knows what is going to happen

Nettles, I think you may have potentially underestimated the SMR effect on the Rycey SP trajectory in the short to medium term. I may be reading this very incorrecetgly, but my old bones are telling me that once we pass the SP of $ 15 and $ 20 mark, respectively, the gloves are off and we start to fly northward because at these share price levels, certain USA funds and institutions start their buying and not before either, if you get my idea or afterburn effect. 😉999 🙌 Let'ts rumple, shall we

Nettles, great post. I see our Rycey ship as a powerful four-masted barque—each mast symbolising one of its distinct and independent revenue streams. It’s this diversification that underpins my confidence in its resilience and long-term prospects. As a result, I’m comfortable steering a position that’s four times larger than any other in my portfolio. For instance, a 40% total allocation to Rycey effectively only translates to a 10% weighting per business stream, assuming equal distribution. Enjoy the voyage

Nettles, Aye, that ye will! The minnows be fine in a dinghy, but if ye plan to haul in the kind of whoppers I’m chasing, best bring a trawler with a reinforced hull, an industrial winch, and a keg of rum for ballast. 🎣⚓🐟

How’s life in my 3-bed semi? Peaceful — unlike the bitterness leaking from your message.

Let’s be clear: I don’t need to “pretend” anything. I speak directly and with intent, and I don't dress up disrespect as banter. If you felt insulted, perhaps examine why it hit a nerve instead of jumping to judge character based on a single exchange. You don't know me — but you’ve certainly just revealed plenty about yourself.

The quotes by Edwin LeFevre in the book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator say it best.

'The nature of the game as it is played is such that the public should realise that the truth cannot be told by the few who know.'

'It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market.'

Aye, that isn't a tweak — that's a full-blown spreadsheet sorcery act! From -33K to +100K? Must have hired a few thousand wizards in the Department of Optical Illusions and Statistical Gymnastics. Probably slipped a “Summon Jobs” spell into the education budget and hoped nobody noticed. Fraud? Nah mate, just creative arithmetic with a dash of public sector pixie dust! 🧙‍♂️📊✨

Peakdread, love it or not, but official figures have notoriously always been manipulated to fit the narrative.

Stiperstones, you rightly highlighted that timing is everything and much of what people believe is often based on speculation. My advice would be to take the experience for what it is—an opportunity to learn and move forward. Dwelling on the past won't change the outcome. Frankly, your comments suggest there may be a deeper reason behind your need to rationalise why the share price rose rather than fell during that period—perhaps it's a case of regret over a missed opportunity.

Weird behaviour indeed; I got banned too without having viewed either positively or negatively on the thread, very strange indeed! But my access is still open, so I suppose it might be a technical internal glitch, perhaps.?

Greenshaw Indeed, systemic neglect rarely comes with quick fixes—especially when the repair crew only recently arrived with tools still wrapped in plastic. That said, returning to Vistry: if the £2B government funding wasn't baked into Q1 figures, Q2 could well offer an upside surprise. Markets often price in what’s visible, but not always what’s quietly sitting in the footnotes of policy announcements. Thursday might shed some light—and perhaps lift a few eyebrows.

Hi Stiperstones, while the February 2025 results were a surprise to many, that alone isn’t evidence of a breach.

Without a clear indication that Rolls‑Royce knew of the outperformance well in advance, or that they actively decided to withhold material information, there's no public basis for enforcement.

The absence of a trading update likely reflects a legally and operationally defensible judgment: the information hadn’t crystallised until just before results.

That said, it raises valid questions about market best practices—particularly for a company of such prominence—regarding the management of investor expectations and the avoidance of “shock” moves post-results.

SparkyTC is 100% a rollercoaster of a ride; it turns normal flight turbulence into a fun experience at the local playground. 😊

Sparkythecat, thanks for sharing the charts. It's the perfect Turbo Tufan and Team Fantastic phases we are experiencing. I started my journey too, at the flotation and consistently reinvested dividends and bonus allocations as they became available throughout the entire period. As a result, my average purchase price is down to 59.48p. It seems we are both on a very similar flight and path regarding the actual price paid. ATB and enjoy the voyage 🙌999

TJBH > Yes, in the UK there is a period before a listed company (including a PLC) announces results during which it must disclose significant changes in expectations — this is governed by the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the Listing Rules.

Key Points:

1. Obligation to Disclose Inside Information (MAR Article 17)

A UK-listed company must immediately disclose to the market any inside information — that is:

Precise

Not public

Relates directly to the company or its securities

Would likely have a significant effect on the share price if made public

A material increase in profit expectations or revenue outlook falls into this category.

Timing: This obligation exists at all times, not just before results. If the board becomes aware of a material uplift in expectations (e.g., from new data, internal forecasts), it must announce it without delay — even if the scheduled results are days or weeks away.

2. Pre-Close and Quiet Periods

While not legally binding, many companies follow a "quiet period" or "closed period" (typically 30 days before results), during which:

They refrain from commenting on performance

But must still disclose inside information if it arises

So if expectations change significantly during the quiet period, the company must still issue a trading update or profit warning/upgrade.

3. Profit Forecasts and Trading Updates (Listing Rules)

If a company has previously issued guidance and now expects its results to be materially different, the Listing Rules expect a corrective announcement.

Summary:

✅ Yes — if there's a significant increase in expectations, a UK PLC must disclose it immediately, regardless of the upcoming results date.

⛔ It cannot wait for the scheduled results day if the information is price-sensitive.

ShareFlyer Ah, yes — 10% on RKH, the helium might be rising, but that balloon’s still tethered firmly to the ground. Call me when it clears the treetops — until then, careful you don’t sprain anything patting yourself on the back!

Ahoy there, Miner of the High Seas! ⚒️🌊

Glad to hear the dinghy's holding steady and the salmon are biting—though do beware of overloading the hull with all that lithium and protein weight, or we may need a crane to hoist you back aboard! 🐟📈

KOD’s 13% surge is duly logged in the ship's journal—marked under "promising treasure sighted by rogue scout." Keep those dispatches coming; always good to know which coves hold gold while we chart through RR’s turbine-charged waters.

We'll keep the main vessel steady on course toward 999 and beyond. Should you hear the foghorn calling or the SMR winds pick up, you’ll know it’s time to set sail home.

Fair seas and fat dividends,

—Captain Svend ⚓
