i'm in £43k at 235p, but am here at least until first friday in July.
then will see situation then.
No rush here, same as watching my BBY shares up and down like a w***es drawers......
I'd like 250p here and 300p in BBY, but whether i get either is another thing.

i sold earlier today, seen all this before, hanging in there, waiting, it'll be tomorrow rubbish.... any day now rubbish.
luckily i was not in deep or at a loss....old losses will remain just that.... was worth a punt, but a time waste tbh,
Good Luck if you are hanging in there

i wonder if shareholders talked from Nov 2016 to June 2018, with the share prominently around the 200p marker, that if someone said, i'm selling and going to wait for this to hit 70-80p, he would be frowned at...... and told, this is going back up.....
these times are unprecedented and many stocks are volatile.... Trump opens his mouth and there's a drop...... etc etc.
when i see so and so puts Barc as a buy.... yes, investers would, because the stock they have was at a lower price, then people read the report, and so they buy, then the big guns sell, people buy in, big guns make a fortune, share price falls,
big guns say, it's a buy, and so on.
small holders like me and jo bloggs can make a bit and lose a bit.
i have seen similar with tesco from years back.... share will never hit 285 mate.... you've a long wait mate and all that.
i think many shares have their day, then there is a re-levelling of the playing field... and some get caught in it at a price too high (326p as someone mentioned this week) and others have got in at 74, 80 or 90's.... so they are riding a nice increase and i wish them all good luck.
my real share affair is BBY and i have nearly 4000 shares, and i want £3.... but i'm not getting it... and i hate that, but i'm not selling for love nor money on the rises or drops... i want my £3 a share......
my dabble, wildcard is RMP, 1/2p a share... and to me, worth a punt with some of my Barc profits.....
good luck everyone....

i have dabled in and out of Barc since end of March,
hindsight would have been lovely with the volatile rises and drops to get to 125p.
everyone could have made a fortune.
i have looked at this share since hitting 100p and thought, na, not buying, as i can get more for my £ if they drop back to low 90's. BUT then they push up towards 103, i'm in, can't resist, but then cannot bare the tension so sell 3p later. Happy. a profit. but then see it rise further and further, and not so many shares for the £....
BUT every time i see an end of day rise, i think, i should have been in on that.... fewer shares BUT them 3p, 4p or 5p gains per share when sold make a lot of money.....
so for two weeks, i have watched from the sidelines, hesitant, as i'm in on Tesco, and of course, once i bought in (235p), they dropped, and since, have struggled to maintain 230p!!!! annoyingly.
so my hunch is, i'll stay out or Barc until 99p or 79p time comes back round and then jump in both feet...
good luck to those that are making on the Barc ride......
those that buy in and watch the price drop and see their balance go red, you are not alone.

326.... fair while back then
Are you in for a lot?
I’ve found BARC hard to judge
Missed lots of dips to then see rises
Hindsight a wonderful thing
Good luck with trading daily
Lots to be had for right but in times

not quite enough to rock the city with confidence and that tesco are going to put their best foot forward and strife to achieve.
i was hoping for a gladiator type speech to reassure the shareholders that all is in good hands to steer the firm forward.
since the 6.5p divi, tesco are struggling. (share price wise) BUT at least they have not plummeted to sub 200p levels.

That's random...... who succeeded Fergie came up in a quiz we did last night lol
That aside, if revenue figures are released towards the end of this month AND a successor is named AND the Asia thing going on could be a big hit or miss for Tesco in next few weeks.
What's peoples take on it?

i'm expecting about £1100 for the Divi just recently set and pays out next month...
thing is, if we hang in there and got 50p a share, the price will go down 50p too... so until you get the cash from the special divi, your numbers will be showing a loss.......
50p loss per share to me means £9k.......
going to look like my holding is down nearly 20%.......

how do other feel about it?
sell, wait, then when price drops buy in???

Yes, the drop is not very pleasing at all.
buy in and top up both down!!!
235p please, then push to 250p.

only just back from a walk,
revisited Watchlist to see near 14% rise :-)

i was running the maths from the investment i had many years ago.....
it's scary to think this was a high pence share.... i missed a dramatic rise to 50p and sooo many people must have got caught out. i was in at around 15-17p times....
looked and numbers, as could not recall how many shares i had back then but was about £20k worth, at around 15p.
so my 350,000 now at those prices would never be affordable..... £52.5k..... whereas i have all those for less than £2k.
so 2p rise, great. 5p amazing.
Good Luck.
Keep watching.

topped up today to round up my holding to 350,000 shares from 285,000.
not a huge buy i know, but had a small amount left from a Tesco top up.
the way i look at it is 350,000 x 2.5p is a result....
todays but was in at 0.0059p, previous but was 0.004934p.

What are other holding in shares volumn???

GLA

i tried to top up on the low friday afternoon but funds i transferred would not clear in ISA.
i have 16,956 shares so want to square it up to 18000. in so far at 235p i think it is. So will have to wait till Monday to try catch 228 ish.
like to see a breach of 250p.

i'm thinking each time i make a bit off Tesco, BBY, BARC or Lloyds, i might chip in here and top up.
tbh, i'm not prepared to gamble like in the past on "news" that might push the share up.
happy to wait on a small holding, and perhaps increase as profits turn up, bit at a time.
2.5p to 6p would be great at any point for me.
GLA.

Tesco back towards Ex Div date price.....
pushing towards 240 i hope......

once deal goes through, would it be likely the sale pushes the share upwards?
as the sale would be seen successful and make tesco a small fortune that has been talked about sharing out (which if as a large divi would see share price then fall back)

morning all,
years ago i recall reading about Warren Buffett(? excuse spelling, it's early) buying 500 million quids worth of Tesco at 350p each or similar..... never heard if he sold out?? this was way back when i firs dabbled in Tesco as it always seem to be 300p to 325p when i was interested....... a mate had shares and worked there.... talk on here was of people waiting for a low of 285, charts this, figures that... met with, 285 will never happen etc etc.....
i'm sure there are lots of people out there who "held" for long term growth..... and some who don't even know the share is currently at these levels.....
so, just curious about Buffett........
thanks and GLA.

yet no price hike for Tesco success.......
gets hammered like BBY does.......
think some stocks are just not favourites.......

but what would the Ex Div date be???

So no news yet?
this seems classic RMP, shouts of news, then nothing.
i hope people are not pinning their hopes on news to make their fortune as it could be a way off yet.
2.5p to 10p would be amazing from 0.5p..... just could be a long wait.
good luck all,
