Joined the party on this one today. I’m going to hold long term, and if there’s a rights issue, well that has worked nicely for me on IAG.
A bit uncomfortable today on this one. Sale of Debenhams to boohoo to go on-line, with loss of town centre stores fuelling negative sentiment, along with a general drop in these badly affected COVID type shares today. Thought seriously about topping up, but funds were a bit tight, so I took a punt on EasyJet instead - spread the risk.
Wanted to invest more today, but was getting generally heavily rinsed across the portfolio, and couldn’t risk getting anywhere near a margin call when I was most tempted, as the Dow hadn’t opened. I both hold these shares and have a sizeable chunk on leverage at the moment. I have faith in the company medium to long term.
Top of my wish-list to buy in now at ‘the right time’ which looks like on or after 29th Jan. Looking forward to joining the party.
Couldn’t decide between Stagecoach, First Group and National Express a few months back, so I bought all 3. Won’t be selling any of them any time soon. Not expecting dividends, and topped up on SGC since original purchase. Really like this share, and expect in 6 months it will have moved onwards and upwards.
@Clemboy
I’m not certain by what you logic you conclude SGC is the best share to short in the event of a no deal Brexit. I hold a lot of different shares, and regardless of the outcome of Brexit negotiations, I full expect this to be a good and steady performer.
I’ve been holding a leveraged position at 122 for circa 1 month now, so happy to have cashed that in today at 127, as I had higher short-term expectations when I opened that one. Still holding shares for long term however, and won’t be parting with those and will be monitoring closely.
Not certain why this one is not recovering along with my other ‘recovery shares’ - but topped up this AM. I have a feeling it will be in a much better place by Spring. Here’s hoping...
@SimonShares
I’ll echo your good wishes sentiment to the long term holders. They’ve put up with a lot of negativity, and sometimes gloating from some trolls during the bad times, even though some holders have been over-sensitive to constructive questioning at times. I’m no longer in CINE, but it was amongst my first purchases, so keep an eye on it, and it looks like the £1 by Christmas brigade will be closer to the mark than those that predicted 20 pence - happy days. If there’s a dip, I might even buy back in, even though I promised myself I wouldn’t when I exited - it’s not a dull share to be in, that’s for sure.
Love this share. Bought it a few weeks back at 7.88. Surprised it isn’t more popular, as I think it has all the credentials to do very well coming out of COVID, and in times when folks are watching the pennies. I think the idea of them picking up some good sites, due to closures by others is also an interesting one. I’ll do some research into what their strategy is in this regard, as I’m in the commercial property sector, and will share anything that is of interest that can be shared on a public forum.
Really enjoying the ride on this share - I expect a few dips with profit-taking, but believe it will keep pushing on for a good while. When I bought in a few weeks back, people were questioning my sanity; they’ve got egg on their faces now.
Welcome DusterMan
I know what you mean about some other shares attracting sub-standard posts. I went long leveraged a couple of weeks back on boohoo, checked out the bb afterwards, and wished I hadn’t - although the transaction itself was a success.
I both own shares and hold a leveraged position in Centamin, and fully expect a rise around the corner. If it drops much further I have an automatic top up order.
If I recollect correctly, there were Director’s buy ins a few weeks back, at circa 160, the shares have taken a bit of a knock on the vaccine announcement, which feels a bit oversold, and stabilisation of the mine issue in Egypt in first half of next year all bode positively from where I am sitting.
Been sat very patiently on this one a while now, with nothing to cheer. Originally bought at 59, and doubled up at 42, believing that was absolute bargain basement at the time, only to see it drop further. I’ve been waiting for today to come around, and it feels very satisfying indeed. Great to see all the positive sentiment on here. Was going to sell half and reinvest elsewhere, but have bought into the upbeat posts on further rises and good dividends - so I’ll sit tight and enjoy the ride.
I’m already invested in this, and took the view to buy extra leveraged today at 122.85. Done the same with Fresnillo and spot gold in a fit of over exuberance - let’s hope it pans out well.
After weeks of pain, and wondering whether this share would recover, today feels like maybe it is the day the corner has been turned. Onwards and upwards hopefully. Still showing a slight loss, but it’s no longer a basket case.

So happy to have jumped on board at 833 a couple of weeks back. Might have to treat the family to a cruise if this share can now push on from here!
Very happy for you long term holders today - genuinely; what a day after weeks of bad news. Can only help with debt covenant waiver negotiations moving forwards and then you can look at the road to recovery. I’m not tempted to jump back on board, (I’ve got more than enough exposure to similar possible bounce-back stocks) but will keep an eye on this one, hoping it makes a good recovery.
