Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I first bought in in October 2011 at �13.02. It�s nice to see the share price 41p up after only 6 years. If only I hadn�t gone for the falling knife at �15.40 and again at �14.20, I would be still be sitting pretty. As it is, this wretched woman and her half arsed and nervous presentation seem to have ******ed my Bollinger order and a case of cava is heading it�s way home. The price drop is catastrophic enough for a statement from the board imo. Thus is wiping billions from the Co value.
Dark Knight that is presumably why AO is struggling. People still tend to buy white goods in shops and get them delivered and fitted and working and the old one taken away. Whether or not they continue to buy them anywhere is another matter given the bleak outlook thanks to the idiots who voted brexit. It�s amazing how good people are at predicting the future in retrospect. Neither I nor anyone else has any idea where this share will go next. It seems to be moving on sentiment rather than facts and until we get a trading update or an alien invasion, I will keep cash standing buy for a substantial top up if the signs are favourable. If not, I will keep what I have and take the div. I wouldn�t risk shorting it at this price either.
AED is your caps lock broken?
A bunch of non-execs bought some shares. It happens.
If I have to buy on weakness any more with this increasingly annoying and under-performing pile of doogy doos, I will end up owning the whole Company. Topped up yet again today at 14.29, which is only �1.27 higher than when I first bought in, in 2011. No wonder Woodford sold a few months back. Possibly the only thing he's got right all year.
This is mainly why I bought in as well, though I was lucky to get in at the bottom a few weeks ago. I have bought a few things from Dixons and Currys recently and have been impressed by the time taken by the staff and the fact that they actually know their stuff The prices were reasonably competitive too, even with on line suppliers. Normally I avoid retail Companies, but DC looks good for a short to medium term punt and I'm sure they have a good way to go yet. But I would say that wouldn't I. Oh, and avoid broker recommendations forever is my advice. There is always a sub-plot.
Deutsche Bank 'Buy' recommendation.
A few years ago, I thought the writing was on the wall for Dixons, but they have survived and prospered and I hope they continue to prosper. I recently bought an ipod online from them and after doing the normal internet search, they had the best price and free delivery. The goods were there in two days. Faultless in every way. In the last 6 months, I have also bought a dyson fan, a mobile internet dongle and a high end microwave in store and their customer service was truly excellent every time (in three different stores). Companies like this are the most likely to resist the relentless march of the internet. I bought in this morning on the strength of the dip and my own experience with Dixons. I have few fears for their future.
Only 12% down over 2 days then. Not invested directly but yet another serious Woodford hiccup it would seem and I am majorly into the Woodford equity fund and this is its biggest holding. One the plus side, it would have made me look like an investment guru if I didn't have GSK as my biggest personal holding.. please take pity on me and send what you can spare directly to my PayPal account. Bless you all.
At times like this, remember the words of warren buffet. It may soon be time to start being greedy. But not quite yet.
Same old hole to throw your money down.
It was a no brainer. Ng sold part of the company and gave the proceeds to shareholders. They then consolidated the shares to keep the SP similar to previously? It was announced way back and was a simple thing to understand. Where I disagree with it is that the dividend isn't really a dividend, but is more of a payment for goods. The taxman won't see it that way though. Which is why I sold my entire holding, which is outside an isa, last week and at a very nice profit and forewent the 'dividend'. I will probably buy back in when the dust settles, but who knows. Vodafone did the same thing a couple of years ago but at least you could take the payment as a dividend or a capital gain. Do your research people and then you won't make noob blunders. You really think NG would give you a bundle of cash for nothing?

Whereas Citigroup and BNP Paribas are considerably less positive. You pays yer money....
You need to hold them on the ex-dividend date, which will be confirmed at the same time as the dividend. Bear in mind that once the XD date has passed the SP will go down by a similar amount, making the timing of buying on XD date alone somewhat pointless.
Is it possible that the sp plunge over the last day or so is due to the proposed changes in insurance payout calculations? At the current price, this looks a good bet and the 28 Feb update was pretty solid but a near 10% drop in 2 days is a concern.
Not worth a wink. Not Ever. Too much vested interests and duplicity. Liberium could put a price of 19,000 and it just means they want the price to up a bit so all their clients can get a better sell price. The fundamentals look good and that's why I hold. The div is tasty and even if the momentum is good, I am unlikely to sell. The day I listen to a broker recommendation will be the day I invest because I got a tip off a bulletin board.
Who cares about the SP from day to day? Profit good, outlook good if understandably cautious, dividend excellent. Buy now on the dip and keep long term. Probably is some profit taking today with a bit of manipulation by mm's but this is an opportunity not a problem. Rock solid. Put it in your pension.
I get spammed by these people telling me what great investment rare stamps are. Maybe they should take their own advice. Or maybe they did. They have a office come showroom here in St Helier. I'll let you know if a For Sale board goes up.
Currently down 42% on google finance. Just for one brief moment, some poo came out. But all is well. Google obviously have their office junior on the case.
