Investors like Buffett and terry smith, David Lindsell and a few others are worth listening to and have made me a great deal of money over the last decade or so and hopefully will continue to do so. I have faith in Sirius as a project and have a fair few shares but nothing I couldn’t afford to lose. As myosotis says, the difference is risk.

Littlened, SXX probably will be profitable, but there ain't no guarantee. Who knows what the Poly4 price will be in 5 or ten years time? Who knows how much of it will be produced by SXX. Who knows about the unknowns, like bridge collapses and earthquakes. Predict all this and you will be wealthy. Coal was very profitable once. Just sayin'. I have enough in SXX to keep me interested, but my pension ain't here and won't be for a good while yet.

Didn’t understand a word of that.

Smiffy, there ain’t no way I would ever take investment advice from anyone here. Most decent people wouldn’t offer it either. Do your research and then make your own decision.

Good to see casual racism alive and kicking on this board. You know who you are losers. Go and talk your sh 1te face to face with people instead of anonymously here. See where it gets you.

I first bought these in 2011 (at 13.02) and held for divis. I have since multiplied my holding several times and still hold, except for one brief excursion a couple of years ago when I traded for a while (with only modest success and too much stress). The share price hasn't done much but 4.5% a year on quite a lot of £000's is a comfort to me in my new found retirement. Woodford got this one wrong I suspect, but that should come as no great surprise. Volatility ahead maybe, but this is a keeper for me.

At home by the pool, coffee with toast and marmite. Luvly jubly.

Nurse nurse, come quickly. Mr Fruit is having another one of his turns.

Funny how as soon as anyone says anything negative or legitimately questions the SXX project, a bunch of diehard small investors come out of the woodwork with their uninformed diatribes. A few years ago I questioned the wisdom of people putting their pensions into LGO ( now Cerberus or some such). I was panned out of sight and called all the ctuns under the sun. I sold out at a profit but many didn’t and lost fortunes. Not saying that will happen here. I hope not because I have a modest investment here and first bought in at 11p. Would I put my pension in here? Not a chance.

I wouldn’t worry Fred. The average IQ here is way below the national average.

Derby this might be true if Sirius was an AIM Company

He bought this a few weeks back. This is probably why the share price is plummeting.

Wetland you are right, but lots of people invested in Carillion for the same reason and look what happened to them.

Maybe DorsetAngloGreek (see below) would see now as the time to make his second ever post and let us all know how much he has made on the latest price rise since he sold. I badly need his advice as a long term and previously pretty happy investor with a substantial holding (but of course nowhere near his).

My uncle John was a market trader on the portobello Rd. He had a mortgage. He�s dead now, so I guess he paid it off. You are welcome.

Duh it�s all over the business news pages. How come people have the internet at their fingertips and still feel the need to ask dumb questions here?

I�m not so sure. One frock doesn�t make a summer. I have been a m&s regular for years but now not so often. The pants are uncomfortable, formal shirts are unimaginative and the quality of the higher end �italian� style clothes is very poor and I�ve stopped buying pretty much everything except one style of up market pants. Buying trousers is a nightmare because the rails are stuffed to overflowing and my size is frequently not there. I like the food, but it�s a bit samey and once the novelty has worn off, I go back to making my own lunches. So I have migrated somewhat to Debenhams, where the clothes are similar but better if you ignore their weird branding system. It�s not an exciting place to shop but m&s had better watch out. The competition is improving. BTW I don�t have Debenhams in my pf (or m&s), but I am watching both.

Good question Jimbo. If you stumble upon an answer, can a you let me know before you let everyone else know? Sirius SP doesn�t relate to current trading but to future prospects so is likely to be immune to some extent from general market malaise. Nonetheless, fear and uncertainty bring more fear and more uncertainty so Sirius will not escape as people take profits and revert to cash in order to buy elsewhere on dips. That�s what I would do anyway. Having said that, I don�t think a big correction is imminent. Oil, world peace, economic stability are all looking ok and even trump is acting like less of a Cee You Next Tuesday than previously. My main concern is the unwinding of QE, which will place a burden on markets. We will see. For the moment I will stick with Sirius but am always alert and have done a wee bit of trading over the last three weeks and although it went well, I am nervous about doing it.

Dunno. Why do some people complain about every little thing that doesn�t fit their idea of a perfect world. It�s a mystery.
