Cheers Volcano, I have recommended both your posts.

Despite the healthy trading update Liberum have cut GRG to a Hold from a Buy. Not sure why they would do that. With loyal customer base, growing retail footprint and reduction of energy costs the future looks very golden brown and crispy for Greggs. As ever, my opinion only. Do your own research and never put in more than you can afford to lose. Good Luck. TT

Heading sub-400p. This is sheer madness! Shorters have kicked the s*** out of an otherwise sound company. I think that they have to be takeover target at this price. Hope they can hang on. Sadly remembering Joules and TopShop. Good Luck. TT

I got back in at 1176p with a resonable holding. Already nicely in profit. Last time I got in at 1080p and exited at 1340p for a 23% profit. I am much more optimistic this time in. If JET2 can get to 1340p again which I think is highly achievable I would be happy to take my profit. I predict that this might go past 1340p this time though. 1500p is doable with a tail wind. Above that would put it in pre-Covid territory which I don't believe a) the industry has not fully reinstated all the routes yet (based on demand) and b) the punters don't have the same disposable income. a) is of course intertwined with b). Oil price dropping is deffo going to help boost JET2 though as it will also eventually affect AVTUR although it will depend how JET2 have hedged. Good Luck everyone invested. DYOR. TT

When, on the rare occasion, that we go into town shopping as a family I express a desire to do the nice, relaxing, sit down cafe experience. However, I am always overruled by the senior management who would rather have us standing around eating steak slices, sausage rolls and veggie pasties from a grease proof paper bag. In the brave, new, credit crunched world Greggs has drawn in the squeezed middle away from boutique cafes and other overpriced eateries. With heat and wheat issues graually resolving themselves profit on sales can only increase IMHO. Good Luck GRG holders.

You can look on London Metal Exchange and play with the timescale. In Feb 2022 Tin was at a high of around 50$/tonne so could be huge potential upside even from the tailings if price returns to those levels. TT

I've been out of the loop for a few days on a break and so it was nice to see that IOG has risen and taken me into profit, having bought back in early March at 5.4p. Today's rise then fall was for sure due to profit taking of short term holders. I'm a HOLD on IOG at least until it makes double digits as I can see a lot of upside potential. I could place more but the risk-reward level feels about right for me currently. Once news (either way) of H2 hits the streets expect big movements and don't be surprise if it is accompanied by big spreads to help the MMs make thier share. My advice to all is don't bet your shirt and don't get greedy when this does start moving. A profit is a profit after all. Good Luck Everyone. TT (I'm also holding CASP and SHEL oil stocks BTW).

Clive and Borat are on holiday in their mankinis so don't expect any updates until he returns.

LOL! Every doll hideth a troll.

Agreed SmartyP1. I've seen it before with AIM stocks. I was in on Gulfsands (GPX) who had wells in Syria (before the war). War came and GPX was delisted. Gulfsands still exists but unlisted. The shares still show up on my portfolio but I can't do anything with them. Luckily I only had a very small holding. Worst (small) risk I see for CASP is any whiff of political instabiity or dabbling from totalitarian regimes.I tripled my holdings in CASP to average down as I see it as much lower risk than GPX was. If it comes good then time to buy the missus some diamonds if not, no worries. GLA. TT

If it goes it will go quickly probably with a huge spread. I got back in at 5.4p BTW with a small holding. If it comes good it will go towards this summer's holibobs. If not, no worries. GLA. TT

At least it has not faired as badly as TLY (another IC BUY tip). SPI looks like either a long term hold for me now until it recovers (if ever) or a trading share where I average down and hope that it comes back to +220p. It seems to be trading between 200p and 250p. However, as ever timing the trade is key here. GLA

This is looking like hitting 200p. Remarkable bearing in mind the NHS backlog and demand for private outpatient work. It must take a lot of skill to erode a share price like this.

The whole sector is down today. IOG is one of the worst affected. Industrial Metals also affected. Would be interesting to know how much of the drop is due to stop loss triggering. Also, don't underestimate the amount of MM tinkering to flush out jittery PI types so they can buy back cheap undervalued stocks. I predict turmoil for at least a week.

I got back in yesterday at 5.4p as it seems to have a chance of moving if H2 comes good and the shares seem undervalued relative to even 50% of previous trading levels. A small move up would therefore see me in the black. I do have to wonder if different management was involved would some of the disasters that seem to befall IOG still have happened? Meaning, in different hands could some of these wells be pumping oil instead of water or was it inevitable that these wells would not produce for anyone. Are there techniques which can be implemented to turn them around into revenue generators? I can't believe that IOG could have so much bad luck repeatedly. The outcomes can't possibly be down to just luck. I would be interested to hear view from any posters with more experience in oil and gas exploration. BTW: I thought today's RNS was a bit of a wet fart statement and uninspirational. I'm also in CASP which is also awaiting a positive RNS with very similar 'risk' feel to this. Good Luck to all whether short or LTHs. TT

Thanks moving2fast.

Sorry, my typo. (Head in hands and shaking head...)

If 2021 figures are 'larger' compared to 2022 figures how can this be reported as a 'modest increase'? Am I missing something here? Is it a typo and should really say 'modest decrease'? TT

If 2021 figures are smaller compared to 2022 figures how can this be reported as a 'modest increase'? Am I missing something here? Is it a typo and should really say 'modest decrease'? TT

There are plenty of twats on twitter, that's for sure...
I dropped it a couple of years back.

Bring back 3-2-1 and Dusty bin...

That's what I was thinking...I read somewhere that 80% of day traders fail to make any money. TT
