Attention-seeking? Nay, matey! Merely the ancient art of 'market dramatization' — keeps the charts lively and the spirits livelier. ⚓️🎭😂

The Voyage of Rycey – April 2025

Opening Coordinates (April 1st): £7.52

Closing Coordinates (April 25th): £7.55

Highest Tide: £7.90

Lowest Depths: £5.67

Overall Voyage Outcome: +0.4% (Arrr, we made it!)

⚓️ Early April: Rough Seas Ahead!

We set sail on April 1st with the wind in our sails and hope in our hearts. But blimey! — the first week brought monstrous waves. Rycey shares took a cannonball straight to the hull, plungin' faster than a drunken sailor off a gangplank.

Word from the crows' nest was markets across the seven seas were spooked by stormy rumors and foul economic weather. Investors were jumpin’ ship quicker than rats in a sinking schooner. 🐀

🏴‍☠️ Mid-April: Lost at Sea

By mid-April, it looked like the good ship Rycey was takin’ on water. Our price hit a soggy £7.24. Morale on deck was low. Some mutinous traders whispered it was "game over" for old Rycey. But true sailors know: the sea always changes...

🌈 Late April: Fair Winds and Fortune!

As we rounded the Horn, salvation appeared on the horizon!

The celestial powers of China blessed the voyage by liftin' tariffs on important parts like aircraft engines — and lo, our ship caught the trade winds!

On April 25th, Rycey rose by a mighty 2.75% in a single day, while the rest of the market barely crawled forward. YARRR! 🏴‍☠️🍻

Even though our daily trading volume was lighter than a barrel o’ rum (only 11.3 million shares vs the usual 34.5 million), the stock sailed smoother than a sloop on a summer’s day.

🔮 Looking at the Stars: The Navigator’s Forecast

The navigators (analysts) peerin' through their spyglasses predict a course somewhere between 240p (a rocky island) and 960p (buried treasure!). The average sightin' puts us at 820.07p. So plenty of doubloons still to be made, if ye can weather the storms! 🪙🪙

🏴‍☠️ Captain’s Final Word

April was no pleasure cruise, mates. Twas a month of whirlpools, sharks, and sudden gales. But by the beard of Neptune, Rycey stayed afloat, and even found a strong current to ride by month's end.

The voyage ahead looks promising, but keep yer powder dry — there be more tempests on the horizon!

Raise the sails, lads! Onward to May! ⚓️🍻

''Seeing as we’re gambling on the roulettes, I’m going with £11.11🙄🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣''

Predictions made with no destination are invalid they have to stipulate an expiry date i.e. when it is going to happen 😜😆

Dustyslay younerknow has probably answered your question Roger that over and out

***Correction sorry crew not the 200 SMA but the 21 WMA

Gather ‘round, ye hearty souls, and hear the tale! Shar Flyer, once bound for the golden mark of £11, found herself lost among the stars. On the cursed day of fools, she plunged — aye, down to 566 she fell, a cruel 30% swallowed by the deep. Yet the spirit within her did not break. With grit and storm-borne fury, she rose once more, breakin’ through the heavy mist of the weekly 200 SMA. Mark me words — the journey be far from done, and the seas ahead still whisper of fortunes and folly.

The winds be shiftin’, mates — Trello’s now in full accord, what with Donald’s second messenger arrivin’ at Putin’s door, arms wide as the sea. We must chart our course back to 777 without delay, lest Tufan lets Turbo SMRs fire up and send another rocket blast up the charts!

Hear me, ye brave souls of the market seas! The SP500, she’s breached the 5500 mark, a feat worthy of song, after battlin’ the foul storms of tariffs, the mad whispers of speculators, and the uneasy parley of peace in distant Ukraine. May the true spirit of the trend guide yer compass, and may fortune favour ye this fine weekend. Raise a toast to the voyage yet to come

Yes SP500 looks to be travelling back up to the high at 5588 it reached on April Fools Day while Rycey is heading back up the northerly route to 777 🙌VII

The next trajectory remains 777 bring it on please... GLA

Badland,

Thanks for the question. In the current Tariff-Trump environment, anything is possible. However, the upcoming 'Sell in May' headwinds are only a few weeks away. As a result, expect the turbulence to last in the short term, but the trajectory beacon magnet remains intact. Note that the Daily ATR has dropped to 37.96 and is hogging the northerly rising daily 50 SMA.

Stiperstones,

Absolutely loved your message — perfectly sums up the rollercoaster charm of this place! It’s like a daily dip into a very lively, very human stream of thought… never quite sure what you’ll get, but there’s always something that sticks with you.

And I couldn’t agree more — that Kenny Rogers moment was unexpected brilliance. Sometimes the most unlikely links end up being the most memorable. Glad it made your day — it gave me a grin too!

Here’s to more surprises, shared cringes, and the occasional musical detour 🍿🎶

Heading towards route 777 with the daily ATR 42.45, the April 10 high of 790 is the magnetic beacon.

Dustyslay,

Thanks for the note — and I completely agree, it's reassuring to see this being addressed publicly.

You're spot on: while we’re not a consumer-facing brand like Volvo or similar, the market reaction seemed to lump Rolls-Royce into a broader category of “UK exporters at risk,” without acknowledging the specific safeguards in place — especially the Golden Share and the national security framework that underpins our defense work.

The UK government’s reaffirmation is timely. It not only reassures investors about the continuity of our US defense partnerships, but also highlights that Rolls-Royce operates in a space that’s fundamentally different from sectors vulnerable to general trade friction. I suspect that the sharp drop on “Tariff Day” was driven more by short-term sentiment and algorithmic trading than by a true understanding of our protected status and long-term strategic role.

The irony is that, given our close integration with US defense and aerospace, Rolls-Royce is arguably more embedded in transatlantic cooperation than many domestic US firms. As you said — we're not selling Volvos, and it's not just engines we're delivering — it's sovereignty-level capability.

Good to see the government stepping in with clarity. Hopefully it resets some of the market’s thinking.

Best,

Svend

Hi AZ,

Yes, Rolls-Royce's protection against tariffs—especially in a defense or national security context—is likely linked to the Golden Share that the UK government holds in Rolls-Royce plc.

What’s the Golden Share?

A Golden Share is a special type that gives its holder (typically a government) veto power over key decisions, even if it holds only a minority stake. In the case of Rolls-Royce:

The UK government owns a single special share (the "Golden Share").

This gives it the right to block takeovers, asset sales, or any changes that could impact UK national security or defense interests.

It ensures that Rolls-Royce’s aerospace and defense technologies, which are critical to national defense, remain under UK control.

Connection to Tariffs

When Donald Trump announced tariffs that affected international trade — especially in industries like aerospace — there was a fear that Rolls-Royce might suffer financially or strategically. However, the UK Defence Secretary’s reassurance likely refers to:

The government's ability and willingness to intervene, thanks to its Golden Share.

Assurances that Rolls-Royce's defense-related contracts and operations will be shielded from disruption.

Diplomatic or strategic negotiations that could exempt Rolls-Royce's defense exports from certain tariffs due to its strategic importance.

So yes — the Golden Share is a key reason why the UK government can step in and protect Rolls-Royce from foreign economic or political pressures like tariffs.

Badland,
