PEAKDREAD I Agree 100 % and I get a little unsettled and impatient that I now wish to increase my targets despite the seasonal headwinds. GLA

By the way, I highly recommend investing in knowledge. Thank you kindly for the very informative NTD podcast; it is truly worth listening to.

Trade idea:

NB. RYCEY take off last minute ticket issued at 806 departed and heading towards ATNH above 818 enjoy the flight and check your seatbelts, and stops are securely in place. GLA DYOR IMOO.

Update

The airborne heading remains towards 888. Some expected SELL at the end of May turbulence will make the voyage somewhat choppy, along with some bond vigilante rhetoric and Trump Tax Cuts debates getting a little heated in Congress.

⚓️ SPRING STATEMENT SCENARIOS & ROLLS-ROYCE SHARE PRICE TIDES

Scenario SMR Order Awarded Estimated Contract Value Investor Sentiment Surge Likely Immediate Share Price Reaction (from ~775p base)

☠️ Stormy Waters Shared with U.S. vendor (50/50 split) ~£10B to RR Disappointment, press backlash 690–720p (short-term pullback, then stabilise)

⚖️ Split Cargo RR gets majority (e.g. 4 of 6 reactors) ~£12–13B Muted optimism 800–850p (modest climb, investors want clarity)

🏴‍☠️ Full Haul RR gets 100% of UK fleet (6 reactors) £15–18B Major domestic confidence 875–950p (strong rally on decision day)

🏆 Golden Horizon RR gets 100% + export orders (e.g. Czech/Poland deals mentioned) £20B+ pipeline Investor frenzy, analyst upgrades 950p–1050p (multi-day rally, target raised)

Ahoy Jimbo27,

🧭 “Cap’n Gutfeel” on Deck: RR to Take the Whole Haul

By thunder and ballast, yer instincts ain’t drifting off course, Cap’n. In fact, the tides o’ logic and the stars of strategy be alignin’ nicely for Rolls-Royce to haul in 100% of the UK’s SMR bounty come the Spring Statement.

⚓️ 1. Starmer Ain’t Dancin’ to Trump’s Drum

The UK’s compass be swingin’ back toward Europe, away from the American foghorn. With new sanctions hoisted against Russia and trade talks scuttled with Israel, it’s plain to see: Starmer’s helm ain’t worried about stirrin’ up the Trumpian squalls.

So when it comes to handin’ out nuclear treasure, there’s no need to curry favour with Yankee firms. That clears the waters for RR to sail alone.

⚓️ 2. The £20B War Chest: Enough for One Fleet

Let’s look at the coin, Cap’n:

Six reactors be costin’ around £2.5–£3B apiece

That’s £15–£18B fer the full flotilla

And the Crown’s coffers have been pledged to the tune of £20B

That leaves little room for a second ship in this race — and what admiral in his right mind splits orders when speed, safety, and sovereignty be the winds we follow?

⚓️ 3. The Home Port Must Come First

Givein’ the treasure to a foreign crew while Derby’s shipwrights sit idle? That’d be mutiny in Parliament and fire in the press. No, sir — the Admiralty’ll keep this contract flyin’ the Union Jack from the mast.

🏴‍☠️ Captain’s Verdict:

Ye be right to believe RR takes it all.

A full cargo hold of contracts, home-built, home-deployed, and ready to set sail for export after.

Hold the course, Cap’n. The Spring Statement storm brews on the horizon — and if all stays true, we’ll be ridin’ a nuclear tailwind right to share price treasure.

Warren Buffett's average stock holding period is often described as "forever", but in more measurable terms:

📊 Estimated Average Holding Time:

Over 5–10 years on average.

In some analyses, closer to 7–8 years based on long-held positions like Coca-Cola (since 1988), American Express (since 1993), and Moody’s (since 2000).

According to Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio activity, median holding periods tend to exceed a decade for core positions.

🧠 His Approach:

Buffett’s philosophy is not driven by a fixed time horizon, but by business quality and price:

"Our favorite holding period is forever."

– Warren Buffett

He only sells when:

The business deteriorates

Valuation becomes excessive

Better opportunities arise

🔍 Exceptions:

He does trade tactically on occasion (e.g., selling airlines during COVID).

Shorter holding periods have occurred when a thesis changed, or macro risks increased.

So while the true average depends on how you weight short trades versus long-term holdings, a realistic answer is:

✅ 5 to 10 years on average — often much longer for core, compounding businesses.

By COB on June 13th, we could witness a hat trick if all our stars aligned, especially considering that the city of Glasgow was rendered powerless.

Come on, this is 2025, not 1925! Let’s get the duo of Starmer and Ed Miliband up on the podium to ask some simple, real questions, like how can you run a country without stable power and a secure energy supply? It's nonsense, in my opinion.

SMR is not just for the moon or submarines, but for the entire country. Please ensure that the baseload is secure and stable once and for all. It's quite simple, please.

You better start dusting those suitcases off because I think we are firmly back up on route to 888 followed by 982 and then 1043 Rycey to the Moon. 🚀🙌888

NuckyT,

Considerations for Investors

While historical performance provides insights, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider current market conditions before making investment decisions.

Factors such as company fundamentals, industry trends, and economic indicators should guide investment strategies.

Witee Ahoy indeed! A fine vessel that one, though I fear if I were to sail into retirement aboard a Sanlorenzo with MTU roarin' beneath me, the neighbours might mistake me for a Bond villain takin’ early leave from MI6! 😎

Still... S.S. Svend: The Pension Plunderer does have a certain ring to it. Shall I order a skull-and-crossbow flag or go full gold leaf and gin dispensers in the engine room?

''Is IAG still worth buying into now or am I to late.''

That is a loaded question only you can act on and decide upon, i.e. if it fits all your investment S.W.O.T. criteria and temperaments. Conduct your research and accept the responsibility; that way, you take charge and do not rely on other opinions to hold your hand.

Tjblowhard maybe in 2-6 years if I am lucky 😊

Cev, I am a fundamentalist at heart if I share an opinion on any stock it's because it has met my investment criteria in the first instance. The tea leaves/charts are 2nd and used for the timing of entry/exit and durations. They also serve for understanding momentum and divergence. Its basically a blendid recipi that evoves over time. When i invested in Rycey it was always going to be for my retirement which still stands firmly in place 38 years on.

Livepari4 are you a hoops fan by any chance😉

Cev, are you expecting a price target of £ 26 by then? That would coincide with the 40th anniversary following privatisation in April 1987

Sairfecht 888 (bābābā) means triple fortune in Chinese. As the number 8 is the luckiest single digit in Chinese culture and double numbers are considered twice as lucky, triple 8 is thought to bring untold wealth and good fortune. The number combination 888 is often seen at airports, bus stops and is used widely online by people in China. The phone number +86 8888 88888 sold for $1.5Million 😉

Trello,

Have a zoom out and look at the monthly charts we are currently in at 31st consecutive higher lows since the November 2022 breakout when the price closed above the 5 SMA - The 5 SMA has since moved up north through the 20 SMA in February 2023 and 200 SMA September 2023. April Fools month was a volatile outside Bar month which ranged from 566-790 - the next target is a close above 818 all-time new highs which are incoming blue skies especially with SMR becoming a reality worldwide including Denmark & Germany. GLA

Sounds like you are comparing stock price gyrations with selling 2nd hand cars on eBay😉

NB > RSI has now turned positive and heading north at 33.73 let us see what the next 6 hours including the USA shall bring to the table.

It is perhaps time to do some hoovering the consensus target price remains at 820.07 and is based on the combined estimate of analysts covering the company. The 818 barrier which has been in play since March before the Trump Tariff Tantrums in early April somewhat sank all the markets, Is bound to be challenged again at some point IMOO. Many markets are looking V-shaped. The deep nose dive down to 568 was a clearout of any weak hands. Meanwhile, the current round number 800 seems to be holding for the time being. RSI on the 10 mins is at 19.98 and flatlining. Maybe setting up for a late Monday turbo-charged vertical lift or takeoff 🐱‍🏍to the moon.🚀 Then there is time for some after 888's 🙌😉
