New target entry seems to be 1260p. Previous target entry of low 1200's is not coming IMHO.

Be thee not surprised when the PMs doth rise...

I don't understand why the sea of red Sells. There is no logical reason for anyone to sell this stock. Is someone with a big holding trying to flush out a multitude of retail investors so they can scoop even more shares up at a bargain price? Is the share price been deramped in advance of a cheap company sell off? Won't shake those of us who have been holding IOG for a long time. Theses are just my ponderings, no factual basis. Does anyone else have any explanations?

Nice post RazorsEdge. Depending on momentum my target is 599p or there abouts but if it shoots through that to low +600p I'll be even happier. :-) GLA

Slightly off JET2 topic but in response to Beachbum1978...SAGA is an interesting stock as it's client base have a wealth of saved up pension cash, an eagerness to get away and large proportion of the +50 demographic group double vaccined. With all these travel stocks I look at the value and stock price pre-Covid and compare to the current. Some travel sector shares are simply overpriced and overbought which is why I hold off entry. SAGA SP has been ramping down on 5Y chart but Covid has made many +50s relook at it for vacations. My only word of caution is that a small double top seems to be forming on 1m chrt indicating potential for an upwards trend reversal. My opinon only DYOR. Good Luck.

When I invested in MAFL 18 months ago I recognised the long term potential and undervalued Market Cap. MAFL has been a snoozer, not really doing much since then. However, the surge in commodity demand is inevitable and the Market Cap cannot be suppressed forever so a re-rate WILL happen. Maybe the interest of an ii would be the trigger or possible takeover which would force realistic market cap evaluation process. Good look all you MAFL holders. My opinion only.

Profit is profit...I once read if you make £100/day its roughly £25k per year, £200/day is £50k, etc. Sure beats the rainy commute to a dingy office to work for a bunch of ingrates (that used to be me BTW). I think JET2 has a bit further to fall yet so I'm holding off. Anything less than 1250p feels about right. Having said that I missed the last opportunity to buy in which I regretted. Have a nice day everyone and good luck in your investments.

USD be in trouble thus Gold ye must double...

Next target is for IOG to revisit the high 23's which we saw in 2017 and then the high 26's which we saw in 2016. If we ask each other whether the company is in a better position than 2016/2017 then the IOG SP direction should be clear (HINT: It isn't downwards). Spread is tightening (just over 2% based on only 2 trades) which is a very good sign that the MMs feel that the stock is not volatile. I see big spreads when the MMs are unsure of the direction and the big spreads derisk the trades for the MMs. My opinon only. Good Luck Everyone.

Bad day for anyone holding travel related stocks. I missed the last JET2 opportunity and I am keen not to do so again. UK government is dragging its heels on the extent of countries on the amber and red list so I'm waiting to see the effect of this before jumping in and then it will only be with a modest holding. This is a class operation and stock either to trade or a long term hold. Good Luck Everyone and invest with care.

Gold does not like any strength in the dollar for sure. The payroll figures can play a part and act as short term steps up or down. Its the fundamental weaknesses undermining the dollar at the moment which make me feel Gold has to rise to an all time high this summer with miners following. My opinion only. Good Luck Everyone.

Just bought back in at 539p which is where is bought in last time before selling few weeks later at 579p. Hope history can repeat itself and better so BME can go all the way to 600p. Come on BME you undervalued little gem. Good Luck Everyone.

Latest results are good example of buy the rumour sell the news. IMO todays drop represents a good BUY entry point or top up opportunity. This is a well run company and staying open during lockdown has forged a core of loyal customers. Yes, there are other places competing on price but B&M is a one stop shop for so many things as well as fabulous value on occaisionals/seasonals. I predict a steady climb back to high 5's after this week. My opinion only. Good Luck.

My broker has moved my GPX holdings to my dealing account as they do not fit the rules for holding in an ISA.

Morning everyone. I really enjoy the IOG board, the updates and sensible discussion which makes a refreshing change from other boards. Why would the SP drop over 3%? The volume of sells does not seem enough to justify this. On the face of it IOG seems to be in an oversold condition and this presents a good buy opportunity. What do others think? GLA

Hi Stevie and Fireant, AIM investment is always a bit hit and miss and success depends on the quality of the company and the integrity of the BOD. I've lost before on AIM stocks and you learn by your mistakes. Like you I now look at FTSE100 stocks as well as commodity ETFs and focus on consistent small gains over the month rather than fishing for the big one which may never come. If you can increase your folio by 1% per month (easily doable) that's 12% over the year and you won't get that in the bank. I will dabble in AIM but only small proportion of my folio and never with money I can afford to lose. Good Luck

Hello stephens, yep I'm the same. Just doing nothing. 4p per share is rubbish. I'm holding as I'm down so much on this share that even if it all goes there is not much left to lose. I would have thought that a takeover of GPX means that we end up with shares in the takeover company, no?
