Whilst RR sit in meetings drinking coffee and eating warm tuna sandwiches begging HMGov for funding, China are already building a demonstrator at Changjiang nuclear power plant on China's island province of Hainan. RR will try to catch up except Chinese one will be cheaper and completed on time. TT

Thanks @hopingforbags.

LSE share trades is showing a sell of 106 shares @12.01p = £12.73 today. Can someone enlighten me as to the logic there? Surely the trading fee nearly exceeds the value of the trade. Does 106 mean 106,000? TT

Just dropped into this board. Unfortunately I bought into these in 2019 when they were 4615p. I've had some nice dividends but sit at a loss if I was to sell. Thankfully my exposure is small. Looking at broker forecasts it could go higher leaving me in profit. I might even average down to bring me in profit sooner but as it sits in my dealing account rather than my ISA there isn't any real advantage to a large captial gain. Long term (>5 years) I expect capital growth but I think brand loyalty will be tested across all sectors. GLA. TT

Having bought many items from Joules over the years it is very sad to see it go this way. i nearly bought in when they went sub 100p but having been burnt on ASC I held back. I can't believe that the company won't be picked up and transformed by someone.

Need sell price of 12.75p to close out my position and start making proper profit elsewhere. Nearly there folks. TT

Yes cureboy, I got the target price average at 2545p which if acheived would give me 57% profit. Already half way there at 23% profit. I'll probably pitch my exit at just below 2500p to miss any big profit taking. I'm sure that there will be changes in direction along the way but CCH is a great share to be involved in. Still has legs to go further but glad I got in when I did. Good Luck. TT

cureboy. I bought in big when it was 1600p and although it has pulled back a bit I am circa 20% up. IMHO this is a quality share and these days its all about quality. As you say, it might suffer short term pull backs but this still has lots of upwards potential. I am looking at 2200p as my exit point. Good Luck.

12p please.

Shrew, share prices usually drop after the ex-div date as this is the cut off if you want a dividend. They then usually build and then drop again after div payment. The next ex-div date is 10 Nov for a 19 Dec pay date. I'm holding on as in these uncertain times it pays to have quality in one's portfolio rather than trying to make a fast buck. SHEL is such a share. I'm up 17% but intend to hold as I can't see a long term downside to having it in my collection. My opinion only. Do your own research. Good Luck.

Excellent post @ragtrade.

I feel for you Trendz. I'm down about £1500. ASOS has been a victim of vicious shorting the like of which is rarely seen. The brand still has inherent worth. Has it bottomed out? Could it disappear? I feel that the position of the company is less precarious than other retailers who have. Thankfully not a part of Arcadia. Good Luck all who have put money into ASC. TT

?

Sorry to say but late results publishing can only point one way. BOD will have the figures now and will be working out how to protect themselves and the company from utter carnage. Not looking good IMHO.

Source was InvChr. If this keeps going it will reach a point when the SP is less than the NAV it's getting so crazy. TT

7.10% short interest, a week on week increase of 1.2%. Bracing myself for tomorrow's results. TT

I've recommended all the posts on this thread as I totally agree. Nice rise today. Greggs shops are usually teeming with customers. I have started to see more shops with cafes as Greggs try to break the constant trade for hot drinks and the sit-in experience. Long term I predict that this will return to pre-Ukraine levels but obviously facing 'wheat and heat' headwinds at present. Good Luck and please back up my opinions with your own research. TT

I'm glad I got out in Dec at 36% profit. I got sick of the BOD lack of basic risk management. They seemed reactive rather than proactive and not very transparent. I put my money into BP. and SHEL which have served me very nicely with dividends and increase on my capital. I still hold a modest amount in CASP which is a speculative for me. I wonder what IOG would have done if Putin had not done what he has. Perhaps IOG would have sold out to Russians and shafted the PIs. In the end I lost trust in the BOD and moved on to pastures new. I keep an eye on IOG. If it drops to 10p I might put a bit on it but I wouldn't bet my shirt on this one. As ever, my opinion only. Do your own research. And Good Luck. TT

If your cabinet's foggy call on Rees-Moggy.

Why don't the government cap the standing charge which is essentially an admin fee? With most energy companies reducing their overheads by more automation/computerisation there is no justification for them to raise this.
