To one & all.

Absolutely Barchid.

To all.

To all PFD holders.

Hopefully some small improvement for the company in the new year.

@ Wids.

Well here's the thing. I've recently discovered that DFS have been successfully trading for 50 years.

Maybe they'll put a sale on or something to mark the occasion.

Yes I like that describes better Barchid.

I've had a cheeky little top up yesterday, & bought an additional 500 shares in Marstons. It doesn't look like SGC are coming back down any time soon. Kept a bit of cash back just in case though.

I might just do that, just for the quarterly divvi.

I'm sure I've mentioned this already at one point that I did work for the bank in a call centre in Warrington. I was made redundant a few years ago, but these things happen. I made some good friends while I was there and enjoyed it.

It would be nice to still be making a bit of money out of the bank.

Yes divvi in January. I always reinvest mine for the freebies.

When I sold my SGC shares @ £1.51 at a small profit. They've jumped to just over £1.63.

Still. Win some, lose some. I'll see if they pop back down again. If not I may well top up here.

You are welcome, Nimshy6.

Perhaps at some point you may well be in a position to swing trade the share as I sometimes do, as per one of my posts today.

I've done that twice with this one now, and overall I'd say I've got myself a good few freebies. Just a thought.

I know that as a general rule that you're not supposed to get attached to shares, but sometimes it's hard not to.

I am quite bullish myself about Marstons, and I'm happy to hold on to my holdings here as an investment, but sometimes the odd cheeky swing trade is difficult to ignore.

I did the same with my SGC holding too, as I was £100 up, so I'm just waiting to buy back in there as well now.

@ Barchid.

Thank you.

Actually, I bought back in again yesterday when the SP dipped to £1.25, so I'm now the proud owner of 114 free shares. So I'm happy with that. A nice little Christmas present that was.

I do like Marston's so if I can build up a bigger stake in the company at no additional cost to myself then it's a good result.

Of Marston's in case I forget my manners over the next week or so.

I hope you all and your families have a wonderful time.

@ Livestock.

From experiences that I've seen with my holdings, when shares spike like this, it is usually due to to the perceived stability politically, which inspires confidence. This often settlers back to similar sp levels once the markets have got used to this, hence why I think there will be a retrace. Not by much I don't think, but I think this will happen because of this.

Nothing else materially has happened here, which warrants an RNS. There has not been a sudden massive surge in net profit for example, which has caused the spike in the same way that nothing else has changed with other holdings of mine for example. Stagecoach for example, one of my holdings has jumped 18p today. No magnificent RNS there to warrant such a jump. Marston's, my other holding, same as here up 6p per share.

It is my guess, as I've posted already is that I believe that it is based on the perceived stability politically, So in the absence of spectacular RNS's stating anything else or different that's why I'm at that conclusion.

Of course I could be wrong, but I just don't see it. Unless you have another theory???

@ Tipster.

Yes some seem to have fared better than others spike wise today.

The biggest spike in my portfolio was Sgc, rising almost 20p per share.

Needless to say I've sold them all to lock in my profits gambling on a retrace to buy back in at a price close to what I originally paid.

Freebies being freebies & all that.

Got canned yesterday. I was a bit worried he'd get in.

I can't really say I'm much of a Tory fan, but better them than Corbyn, and at least we have a bit of stability now.

The spike here is welcome too. £101 up this morning so I sold on the spike to lock in my profit, but I will be buying back in when we get the retrace. Freebies are freebies after all, better still when they are dividend paying freebies.

@ Dilloncullen.

Nothing wrong with that mate. I've done it myself a few times with my holdings.

Freebies are freebies after all, better still when they are dividend paying freebies.

I'm not sure we'll see that any time soon. I'm also into SGC & Mars and both have spiked up a bit today. SGC more than Mars, as it has here too. I'm more inclined to believe that this is due to political stability on the back of the Cons holding on to power with their new found majority,and a clear mandate.

I'd say that there will be a retrace at some point soon.

Which is when I will buy back in for a few extra freebies. Result.

Absolutely.

@ Barchid.

It's the 12th they go ex divvi mate. Sweet.
