Looking at the trades, it is nearly all driven by small PI deals and that concerns me. The market will be happy to take these folks money before dropping the price and watching them all sell out of fear. This bubble, as nice as it has seemed, may be a fragile thing. Just sayin.

Several large buys after hours. Not sure what it means but someone has faith it seems, buying that much at a year high SP,

Brad that is probably the most offensive and dumb thing that will be said on this board all day. Despite some inevitable and serious competition.

Yep. The recent rise has happened on no news and probably due to sentiment and institutional buying, though who knows for sure. It�s a castle built on sand, not that I�m complaining. The current rise definitely looks more sustainable than previous short term jumps similarly based on nothing. I remain cautious, but at the same time, optimistic about this unique project. I am a bit more overweight in SXX than I feel entirely comfortable with, but that will hopefully ease on holiday somewhere hot in 2021 or thereabouts.

I've just ordered a Veyron on the strength of the maths. Thanks everyone for your wisdom and insight. Sorry if I ever thought you�re all just a bunch of to$$ers.

Yeah duh obviously. I was just about to say that.

But the civil servants and under-secretaries etc who are the people actually making the decisions and advising the ministers have �flown the plane� before, so we can take some comfort from that. God help us all if Boris or lunatic Corbyn were ever to actually get their hands on the joystic for real.

Fleccy...job done then. Brexit IS a cataclysmic event.

Global economy is sound. Brexit will be made to work. Drug pipeline is OK. Sales of toothpaste etc will hold up whatever the economy. No Pfizer�s or other money pits to buy. Dividend very probably safer than a fortnight ago. Advair safe for a bit longer. Research costs trimmed by new CEO. Sure the SP is the same as it was 6 years ago which is fairly shy te, but all in all, not too much to worry about. The wheels are highly unlikely to fall off the capitalist machine in the next few years so keep yer cash handy and buy on weakness. You are welcome.

I spend a fair amount of time in Australia and shop in clothes and food stores not a million miles different from M&S and they are just better. The clothes are more appealing visually, the stores are better laid out and it�s eaier to find your size etc. The food stores sell better food. Folks rave about m&s food but it�s mostly pretty unhealthy, overpriced and you are beaten to death by 3 for 2 offfers which are the WH Smith way of flogging you stuff you don�t want. It ain�t great. The lunchtime sandwich isle is great but probably comprises about 2%of total sales. The shares are as cheap now as they have ever been and the div seems good and possibly sustainable at least in the short term. But I�m still not tempted. Wholesale reform of this business is needed and no one seems able to do it. Debenhams is the same. C&A have already gone. Maybe the John Lewis results are just the writing on the wall going upmarket a bit.

In smug mode here regarding Woodford. I sold almost my entire holding in April 2017 to buy a property. At the same time, I also stopped paying into the fund in favour of Lindsell Train. I take little credit for the decision but it turned out to be pretty astute. At the time, The Woodford unit price was at its highest. I�m still in,the Woodford car crash but only just.

Surprising since the SP has plummeted over recent months while the FTSE has generally been positive. The GSK SP has been more inversely correlated with the FTSE. Don�t believe all you read.

Just another publicity hit from someone who is looking to get back in at a lower price. I wouldn't pay too much attention to his opinion. As with all cyclical shares, I will be watchful, but I don't intend to sell at present. The div is there and the medium to long term prospects are still good. For me it's a hold.

Selling NG now, even at a loss is a very debatable strategy. I don�t currently hold but will buy back in when I think the bottom is in sight, which is round about now I suspect. The dividend is good and I think the danger from Corbin�s lunatic pressure group is overstated. Around 50% of NG profit is generated in the USA and in the unlikely event that it was renationalised shareholders would not suffer much, if at all because the price labour would have to pay would be more than the current share price anyway Bootsox, I sold DC recently because retail is just too chancey at the moment. DC hasn�t released Xmas figures yet, but they had better be good. The World Cup might also help them a bit but that is no way on which to base an investment strategy. I am currently significantly down on GSK, but selling will just cement my loss. Sometimes investment is a long game. And so it should be.

There is nothing blatant about criminal behaviour until its proven in a court of law. Similarly, the libel laws rely on evidence to prove a case. I would be a little cautious about what you put into a public forum, no matter how much you hate the BoD.

LSE loves my posts so much, it put it up twice.

You should worry. I first bought at 13.02 in 2011 And have topped up twice at a higher price. Nice to see such a stonking rise in the SP since then. I guess I had the divis but still pretty poor. I will probably continue to hold, but if the divi looks threatened, I may well bail and put the money in the post office.
