Anything they print is normally worth doing the opposite of. Let's hope not this time.

Apologies EV - I see it now, thanks

Appendix Ts & Cs (2nd paragraph) states - MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO TAKE PART IN THE PLACING.

Indeed Ivy, it was jimb2 that got me interested in BYD and the blade battery technology - what an interesting journey that has been.

Mike, with respect, I think you are wrong. Barksy and JimB have exactly the right idea. You are always one for promoting newsworthy posts and keen for them to be visible regularly. By feeding the ducks, all you are doing is allowing the board to be filled with utter nonsense (ironically I am doing exactly that at the moment). It really isn't that difficult :)

I remember when I was a kid and I used to get taken to the park to feed the ducks with some bread. As soon as I started to throw bread in the water, a few ducks started to swim across and before I knew it, there were dozens there in a feeding frenzy. As soon as the bread was finished, they all disappeared. This is exactly what’s going on here – stop feeding the duckwits and they will eventually duck off. Every time I log on, I see a screen of green but more and more recently, all I see is the responses from people feeding the ducks and it’s getting as bad as looking at the duckwits themselves. I repeat – stop feeding them – please!

Tend to agree with you there Trader - I'm not too keen on the large holdings in Moderna and Tesla either. Whilst I've got a significant chunk invested in SMT, it's not part of my core strategy so was prepared to buy more as I still think that long term it's a great investment (particularly when you can buy at a discount to NAV)

Agree with what you see re the geographical switch Lord. I've been in SMT since 2013 and thought I was doing well to buy more at £12.08, especially given the relatively decent discount to NAV. My biggest mistake over the years was selling a large chunk at £7 to go chasing rainbows on AIM. This one will always come good with a good set of heads at the helm - it just takes a bit of patience.

I think you need to check your coffee Robuk - someone's slipped you a roofie

Cheers MrC - amazing what a phone call to HL can do - cash now in my account :)

Still waiting on my funds from HL too - very frustrating as although I've benefitted from the ZNWD rise, it could've been much more

Happy New Year All and thanks to all who make this board a very informative place - EV_Bull, Obs, JimB, Barksy & Zoom just to name a few and sorry for those I've missed out. Like many of you, I've been here since the DL REM days and my average was originally in the 90s. Luckily I've been able to average down a bit this year but I'm still a long way from breaking even. This is without doubt the most positive I've felt about this share in the years I've been here. Here's to 2022 being our year. All the best folks :)

Hi John - yes, going to hold onto them and added another wedge yesterday as well. Hoping to do a bit better there than I did here. What about you?

Some very valid points raised here Foz and John. Anyone considering holding and going down the rabbit hole with Ganfeng really needs to consider all of these points. These are the reasons I decided to offload the majority of my shares as I wasn't prepared to take the risks. I sincerely wish all those holding the best of luck and I really hope you get rewarded but the stakes were just too high for me.

Yes, 1230 and that's it til Wednesday

Apologies - ZNWD - fat fingers

johnpwh, my understanding is that the ZWLD payment is treated as a dividend therefore is potentially subject to income tax as opposed to CGT (if, as you say, held outwith a tax wrapper)

Got my freebies from BCN yesterday and decided to load up here with another wedge. Here's hoping I have better luck here than I did by BCN over the years. I already see a few familiar faces including Johnpwh and MrC.
