Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
or Doctor WHO
Its a discussion board ProfitSeeker68 - I was making an observation of the reasons we are probably in a downward channel
I'll point out that its a binary bet that the sun will come up tomorrow - please accept that there is a chance (however small) that it won't !
Sensible gamblers think they have an edge - if this was a simple bolt on iron clad guarantee would everyone not be on it already ? - I'm here because I BELIEVE - - Newmont are here because they BELIEVE - - Agnico are here because they BELIEVE - most posters are on this board because they BELIEVE - If you think this is 100% guaranteed multi-bagger and cannot exclude a possibility that there may, just may be some down-side then you - ProfitSeeker68 are simply "Another Pratt" - I said it's a binary bet - I stand by that - I BELIEVE it will race - but I accept that it may not - I hope all the information and research I have done gives me that "edge" but remind everyone that there's no guarantees in this world and sincerely wish all holders the best of luck
SINGULAR NOUN
If someone or something has an edge, they have an advantage that makes them stronger or more likely to be successful than another thing or person.
Dixie not sure where u got your info - but I got - "NEW DELHI — India authorized TWO COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday, paving the way for a huge inoculation program to stem the coronavirus pandemic in the world’s second-most populous country"
India’s drugs regulator gave an emergency authorization for the vaccines developed by Oxford University and U.K.-based drugmaker AstraZeneca and another developed by the Indian company Bharat Biotech.

This is one share where patience is required - I for one am a firm fan - it has its' moments - but seems to double in value every three years !
Such a shame if it does - so far it has been an outstanding part of my portfolio - my calculations (including dividends and corporate actions) have equated to a 19% APR since IPO launch - with the dividends alone leaving this share as a "free-ride" having equated to more than the cost price of the shares - a if takeover is incoming one can only expect it to be at a chunky premium on the SP
For Clarity - Angard IS part of the Royal Mail Group - to my recollection - it was set up when Personnel Units were centralized so as to outsource and simplify "casuals" (sic) , Zero hour contracts and Xmas staffing arrangements (which at the time was a bit of a mess) - https://angardstaffing.co.uk/about-us/

Thanks on that - cheered me up !
I'm with HL and I must admit that it's most gratifying to see the Accustem shares listed in my (ISA) holdings albeit held at NIL value alongside and at a par with (don't laugh !) ThomasCook Afren and NMC holdings - I have no idea why other brokers cannot do the same !

EIGHT ffs - EIGHT !!!!! - and it's still in phase 3 - now wonder they need immunity from sueing from possible side-effects !!
the initial data covered just 170 adult volunteers in a trial involving nearly 44,000 people, and only eight of those actually got the vaccine, with the remaining 162 getting the placebo.
My thoughts precisely borisb - Exactly the same - sometimes when I read an RNS I am convinced that it's excellent news - only for the SP to drop - seems that good results aren't good enough with Avon - they need to be spectacular !
Hurrah - vaccines have been found - panic over - at least that's the way the markets seem to see it ! - Gold - DOWN - Pharmas - DOWN - who needs to invest in new vaccines/cures/testing/cure relief etc when industries which have been on their knees are "clearly" now massively underrated ! - Pubs/Leisure - UP - Cruises - UP - Banks - UP - Airlines - UP - I still can't understand how this "recovery" has been so dramatic on news that is not really going to take effect for about six months - in which time many participants in these industries are like to go into receivership ?
I guess its not called the "futures" market for nothing - crystal ball - six months and covid's all done and we will be back to normal business
IMHO - Covid is going to have a lasting impact on Paypoint as it has forever changed the way people will view CASH - which is principally the area in which paypoint operates - the move to virtual and plastic money has been fairly rapid over the last decade or so - but paypoint's model is specifically aimed at those that can't move to plastic, those that can't have now found themselves in a position of being those that must - during the crisis I have been into retail outlets that refuse cash payments.
I like to think of the Accustem shares as "free" - I don't care how long it takes for them to get to trading - sometime H1 next year at the earliest I expect
What are they going to trade at ? - I don't think anyone has the foggiest - I'd like to think somewhere in the region of a pound but my guess is probably as good as anyone's - I'm just here for the ride !
Got a out of mainstream shares that were obviously gonna be hit bad (EZJ/CCL/IWG etc) and massively into (what I perceived as) Covid shares when the markets went bump back in march - have done very well tyvm - managed to topslice Novacyt/Avacta/Synairgen and Genedrive for good profit and now on free ride with all of those - still holding and don't really know which way to go - MrMarket seems to think Covid is over and the afflicted shares seem to have recovered well and in my opinion unduly and the "Covid" type shares similarly went in the opposite direction.
Where from here ? - Hathaway advice is buy when there's blood on the streets - but I think a lot have gone with that.
My general feel is to go for shares which have weathered covid well - steady blue chip types - they are out there - AVON/HLMA to name two of my favourites
Note the above is not intended as financial advice - always DYOR - what you invest in is your personal choice and risk appetite.
Take a look at the 1yr 2yr 3yr 4yr 5yr charts - this has been a steady climber - took a hit on Covid but recovered quickly - increased dividend - As LTH since 2015 its been 33% APR share for me ! - the crisis is far from over but Halma still manages an uptick in profits and earnings - I am confident of future gains and continue to happily HOLD
Spike - Yep totally correct - you'll also receive your divi
Ageos - Noted !
Always interesting when there's more posts than trades in shares such as this - I take it from the reported volumes traded that the day traders have mostly lost interest and moved on in the hope of perceived quick money elsewhere (though I do note some extremely late reporting of trades) but the remainers seem to have "sticky fingers" - the news of covid vaccines seems to have convinced the markets that the crisis is over and previously "junked" shares are in the spotlight and currently experiencing some extreme volatility - its nice to see the uptick OMI SP as i write as I had anticipated an agonising steady downward trend in the absence of news but OMI currently seems to be treading water.
