That’s a fine slice of revisionist history, but let’s set the record straight. Rolls-Royce became legendary long before the cars, thanks to their groundbreaking Merlin engines, which quite literally powered the victory in the Battle of Britain. Their jet engines revolutionized aviation, making global travel accessible and efficient, and their SMR and synthetic fuel advancements are shaping the future of energy.

TimSmith12, As for the 'near demise'—sure, the government stepped in, but they did so because Rolls-Royce was too critical to fail, not because it was some struggling car company. Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce cars? That business was sold off to BMW decades ago. So if we’re talking about what made Rolls-Royce a true engineering powerhouse, it wasn’t luxury cars—it was pushing the boundaries of technology, war, and industry for over a century.

Now crawl back down below deck where you belong, DimSmith12

Big buyers must be huddled in their boardrooms clutching their calculators like life vests, whispering, 'What if we just... didn’t invest and stared at our bank balance instead?

Meanwhile, financial chaos? Trump’s economic policies are like giving a toddler a flamethrower and telling them to ‘be responsible.’ Experts predicting chaos? That’s like predicting rain when you see a hurricane forming. 🌪️💰🔥

Oh, it’s a masterpiece of market chaos—bids stacking like a game of Jenga on a ship in a storm, asks vanishing faster than TimSmith12’s credibility. In short: it’s looking exactly how you’d expect when a stock’s on the move—like a hungry seagull dive-bombing a bag of chips. 🎢📈📉

ACIM > Oh! TimSmith12 isn’t just your run-of-the-mill troll—he’s the Michelangelo of bad takes, the Shakespeare of nonsense, the Da Vinci of drivel. If there were an Olympic event for trolling, he’d not only come last but somehow trip over the starting line, take down the stadium, and blame it on 'market manipulation.' An artist of unparalleled ineptitude. Bravo, Tim. Bravo. 👏

Looks like we are heading back up towards the Route 777 climbing just above 3% at the moment, without any favorable winds in our back from across the ocean just yet with 69 mins to lift off.

Peakdread is a fair take. While Rolls-Royce SMR remains a British-led initiative, it’s interesting to see the scale of international investment behind it. The Perrodo family's stake was indeed a surprise, and ČEZ Group’s 20% share highlights the strategic interest from European energy players. It’s a strong mix of backing, reinforcing confidence in the project’s global viability.

As for Tim… well, let’s say even the Muppets had friends. 😉

''The timeline for the selection decision had slipped to "Spring" 2025, which in the UK lasts from 20 March to 21 June. The timeline for the final investment decision remains unchanged.'' 🤞 Time will tell... 🤞

Tim,

Just a follow up on the context of Fibonacci retracements and technical analysis. Here’s my ''why'' :

Fibonacci 0.764 Pullback

The 76.4% retracement level (sometimes rounded to 0.786 in some charting tools) is a deep retracement but not necessarily a complete trend reversal.

A pullback to this level often signals an exhaustion of selling pressure, where price might stabilize and attract buyers.

Higher Probability of Recovery than Continuation

Historically, after retracing to 0.764, the price is more likely to find support and recover rather than continue straight to the 100% retracement level (a full reversal of the prior move).

The logic here is that deeper retracements reduce the risk-reward appeal for new short positions, increasing the chance of a bounce.

Stabilization and Potential Reversal

Reversals from the 0.764 level often occur if there is demand at that area (e.g., institutional buying, previous support, or volume confirmation).

However, a break below 0.764 with strong momentum can lead to further declines, but drops to 100% are statistically less common unless there’s a significant shift in fundamentals.

Caveats:

Confirming signals matter: Just hitting 0.764 doesn’t guarantee a reversal—you’d ideally want to see buying volume, bullish candlestick formations, or divergence on indicators like RSI/MACD.

Overall Market context is key: If the broader market (SP500) sentiment is bearish or negative news, the probability of more profound retracement increases.

Tim,

While it's easy to attribute short-term movements to market makers' tactics, Rolls-Royce’s share price is influenced by a complex mix of macroeconomic factors, investor sentiment, and technical positioning—not just isolated “pump and dump” activity.

The approach towards the £6 mark is primarily a function of broader market conditions, sector rotations, and technical retracements after a strong run-up. A stock does not move in a straight line; healthy pullbacks are part of any sustained uptrend.

After yesterday's Fibonacci 0.764 pullback, it's more likely to recover than continue, as pullbacks to 100 are less likely. This suggests a higher probability of stabilization and potential reversal than an extended decline.

As for Trump’s influence—while it may not directly impact Rolls-Royce daily, geopolitical uncertainty, defense spending policies, and broader risk sentiment tied to U.S. economic direction do have ripple effects on global markets, including key aerospace and defense stocks. Discounting these external factors ultimately would be an oversimplification.

Ultimately, the long-term trajectory remains a function of fundamental execution, backlog growth, SMR developments, and a return to strong profitability—not just short-term speculation.

As of March 10, 2025, RR share price experienced a significant retracement, closing at £7.38, down 8.56% from the previous day's close of £8.01. ​

On February 27, 2025, the company's shares surged by 15.94%, closing at £7.32, following reinstating dividends and a £1 billion share buyback program. This move marked a record high for the stock, making it the top riser in the FTSE 100 that day. ​

Subsequently, the share price continued its upward trajectory, reaching a 52-week high of £8.15 on March 5, 2025. However, by March 10, 2025, the stock had retraced approximately 76.4% from its peak, closing at £7.55.​

The recent retracement may be attributed to investors' profit-taking following the rapid appreciation in share price. Despite the pullback, the stock remains significantly higher than its position earlier in the year, reflecting investor optimism about the company's financial health and strategic initiatives.​

In summary, while RR's share price has experienced a notable retracement from its recent highs, its strong financial performance and shareholder-friendly initiatives continue to underpin its market valuation.
