Phnx - results are outstanding again. It’s a clear trend especially after the last set with an additional 300m of fcf. Outflows down 50% and new business up 80% but because the market is down the silly twts in suites who can’t think for themselves just don’t know what to do with the sp.

Honestly divi cover is near two now and yet folk don’t know a bargain when they see it. The London market is a complete laughing stock!

But it does give us PI’s the edge when there are some good long term buys.

This is my point over small caps. Why risk on those when you can make good returns on larger caps over the longer term from this level covered by huge dividends. Plus the liquidity to trade in and out easily should one need to. Especially trading down on any dips throwing off cash and lowering one’s average!

Usual caveats

Trek

S2 ratio is targeted 140-180% if it’s slightly below I would expect it in 170 range but even 150 is huge buffer!

Fab results outflows reduced 50% that’s what mr market was worried about. Also 80% increase in new business is huge!

This is actually an organic growth story but the market just doesn’t get it because it is shying away from all things London post Brexit, coincidence or not that’s just the reality of the timing.

I expect divi to go up significantly in finals!

‘Buy and forget’ imo!

This pays a significant lump of our pension now.

PHNX - “ Phoenix Group delivers another year of strong organic new business growth in 2023 and achieves its 2025 growth target two years early”

Growth. ‘ 2023 new business net fund flows of c.£7bn, a c.80% year-on-year increase’

And also pf is inflation hedged!

Excels on all metrics and yield near 11% paid twice annually 2x50%.

And yet it’s completely unloved by London! Crazy markets!

I just buy below 500p for the pension.

Usual caveats

S-o-h - DCTA. I sold some I had as the liquidity there is poor haven’t been able to sell any for ages. I have been exiting a few stocks where I can’t trade easily. Nothing wrong with DCTA a great company. I rode it from 50p to 150p once. They also have a top CEO who replies to all your emails! Lots of patents and should get graphysorber news in summer. I watch with interest.

SEPL -now on another 5 year high something going on imo. Lse price £1.46 is miles behind Nigerian price £2.69. Even after fx risk it’s just got stupid! Makes yield in London much higher.

TP on SEPl soon with or without divestment is +200p imo

Usual caveats

Trek

Something is driving this from Nigeria imo.

£45k of trades on LSE just don’t cut it.

MM’s obviously have a RNS alert as price is up unnecessarily on volumes/trades.

Also comes on the back of consistent rise in sp.

I was expecting 140 before news and +200p after but looks like there are rumours out there and folk in Nigeria have been buying driving London up. After all the arbitrage is a bit silly atm!

Usual caveats

Trek

Synt make disposable gloves - were a great covid stock. Also do adhesives. Had a profit warning recently sp tanked and cut divi etc.

I have used my he1 profits to offset a few smaller positions that I held and now exited. Getting fed up with the small caps. Hvo is an example you mentioned earlier. I sold them ages ago at like 29p and after all their amazing work they are only just back there now! It’s ridiculous!

I am just sticking with a few ‘hot stocks’ now, iqai, Txp and he1 (for now). Iqai is now my only genuine moonshot left that could do 10x. I think Txp will get back to 100p and he1 may well get to 3-4p range but I really haven’t found any more with that sort of chance. Dest will bag but may go much lower first. There are plenty like that!

Putting rest into income.

I have done better trading bigger stocks like fres that have lots of volatility.

It even buying and holding the likes of sepl & mng both well up now.

Any good news is still being sold into for the small stuff and any rate cuts will boost the bigger player first imo.

Usual caveats

Trek

Hi Blu,

Yes have read it a couple times. Also news over at Groc, their graphite is suitable for anodes. And Dcta another of mine extends a Setcar contract.

All pretty good updates. Dest tbh is a slight delay albeit short pain long gain with solid formulation

Usual caveats

Trek

Hi Blu,

yes good luck. Hope RNS soon. I held there in the 20p range back a while. Also had Biom (plastics tech) at 600p! I thought both would do well with their green creds and ideas. But hey zilch backing really. Been tough for both!

Google shows the last trade price. Not the UT price which is normally the closing price.

I say normally as sometimes a stock doesn’t clear an EOD auction so the last trade is the close. Today’s here it’s the UT.

If you can time it mick you can double your money on a few trades.

I don’t have cash atm as bought income but I would prob have bought 1.4 and I keep cover and then got 1.2 and held some for 1p. That’s the way to do it.

Then on the way back up you exit in similar %’s throwing off cash. Get out before 2p and wait to have another go.

You will likely see lots of volume now as traders try their hand.

It also works on way down from a holding position.

I have made a killing now on DEC and all the sp has done is gone down but I have thrown off cash by selling and buying back the same number of shares for less. So I get cash and a lower average.

Now the sp is way above my average and when I take the cash off what I originally paid I am well up and have same number of shares.

You really need high volatility to make it work and HE1 will provide that. It will be a traders dream imo!

It’s wise though to trade in tranches and slice when you have good profits. It also helps it you only trade a stock that you don’t mind holding so if you get caught you just wait it out.

Usual caveats

Trek

Hi Gav,

Absolutely!

Back over £1300 soon me thinks!

And why indeed not. A short cover is a thing to behold!

But it’s not the shorts that matter here it’s the data.

We also come out of a close period soon I hope we see some director buys and an employee scheme would be great. Esp if they say they held the BB for that.

Usual caveats

Trek

He1 blasted through 2p to 2.4p and now pulling back at last! Gives one a top now of 2.4 and soon view of a trading bottom.

Prob be around 1.4 so a good spread to trade around. Obviously just the first cut. But once a pattern establishes it’ll be up and down like the proverbial!

Hopefully those in under a Penny can just switch off and watch the skies!

A few will panic though having seen 2.4 vaporised and will be worrying that 1 p could go leaving them penniless! lol!

Don’t worry the mm will take all the stock knowing they can pump it back up again probably catching the same folk out twice!

I may grab a few later in another account just for fun so I don’t bgger up my average!

Ps good numbers from DEC today lol! Also VOD and MNG I added to yesterday with my HE1 sells. Gotta make sure that income is provided albeit VOD could still see a cut but I think not!

Usual caveats

Trek

Back above £10 soon me thinks! lol!

What an opportunity to buy stock that was!

Now with an overall average in the 800’s and back in the blue - unbelievable!

Come the finals wouldn’t it be sweet to announce a special dividend xd a couple of days thereafter! lol!

Now that would panic the shorters! As they’d have to cover two divi’s to cover! There’s a rumour! Lol!

It’s easy shorting stock on a downward momentum. And whilst you never necessary have to close a short you’d still have to pay the divi. And then if something is oversold and bounces back strongly you have a choice. Bite the bullet and close the short or forever pay the divi!

There will be more mud slung yet and a few more first posts here but their days are numbered!

Numbers don’t lie and cash paid out to shareholders in dividends, employees in wages, governments in taxes and banks in interest is the ultimate validation of success which you can’t hide from! Oh and for Dec independent ESG validation and testing! Icing on the cake!

Being ruined by AI spam!

“………… All three examples — 404 Media's copycats, The Hairpin's squatter, and the obituary pirates — differ in the details. But they have one thing in common: Bad actors, scammers, and spammers are trying to make money by using AI to pump out massive quantities of content to reach the top of Google search results.

Ultimately, this isn't a problem just for journalists getting their content stolen or grieving families rightfully upset by the digital grave robbery. This is a huge problem for Google. It ends up serving up garbage results to users, who increasingly have other attractive options — also thanks to AI — for search.

Google told The New York Times that it's aware of these spammy obits and was working to address them (and took some down since they violated its policies).

But bad actors are often a step ahead of the platforms — as with the AI-generated lewd images of Taylor Swift that proliferated on X last week.

AI is going to radically change the internet, for better or worse. It's on Google and the companies making these AI tools to minimize the actual harm.’

Hi Tiburn,

The bond security is the estate that is being used to underwrite the bond. The bond is legal paper which comes into effect once settled with the agent, MNG, who is waiting for funds,

When the 80m is deposited that’s when the clock ticks.

“ The bonds will pay a floating rate coupon subject to a minimum of 8.5% per annum and a maximum of 20%. The floating rate coupon will be calculated as to the higher of a copper price coupon linked to the copper price on the London Metal Exchange, or an interest rate coupon linked to the US Federal Discount Rate. The bonds will be secured on the Group's patented open pit mining claims, will be listed on The International Stock Exchange in the Channel Islands, and will have a ten-year life with bondholder option to request redemption at nominal value after six years and the Company's option to offer redemption at a 10% premium to nominal value after five years. M&G Trustee Company are acting as Security Trustee and Escrow Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNYM") as Custodian and Transfer, Paying and Settlement Agent.”

Yep want take much imo. Down on low vols back up on low vols.

Switching off to H now…. Don’t want to rue a pullback below 1 or a boost to 2p!

What will be will be. Got my money out and some extra’s. That means I am well up now on my first visit from 6p ish selling in the 20’s in several tranches.

And my second visit when I lost a small amount… but dodged the placing

To my third visit now when I am up on one account at 0.19 and sold the lot and the other account at 0.37 (after adding) and now sliced down to a ‘small’ round number of shares.

Nothing like the first go tho!

Total profits…. I dare not say!

But the first run enabled me to put down a 50% deposit on a house for my son and a gift some cash for the other. I actually got zilch but a smile!

This time it’s a much much lesser amount so paid off a few bills and off to the med for some sunshine!

Mrs Trek is happy and that’s what matters!

Don’t just look at, use it to spread a little happiness imo!
