You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Interesting…
Ooh hello again.
Was thinking about this thread as my shares tanked this last week 🙂
Thankfully I ditched some RR at 140 or so, so might buy back in if they go down to 83p again tomorrow.
Especially in light of sillysilly's post
What do you all use to do you trading? Is there an app or something?
I use I-web, £5 per trade.
Freetrade and trading 212 are two of the most popular ‘free’ trading apps in the UK. I’ve used both for ‘fun’ trading. They are free at the point of use - they obv make their money in other ways.
I can send a link and we both get a free share (in a random company)
The gov's energy strategy could be good news for RR with their mini nuclear reactors.
I had a £3k punt at end of last week buying at 101.5p; not short term so it's invest and forget.
In early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine I considered buying BAE so placed a kill or fill order at 3% premium to last closing price; order was killed as opening price was up 8%.
Felt a bit grubby trying to buy defence shares but that clearly didn't stop the pros.
Right. I've signed up to free-trade and I'm having a play. Addictive this!
Netflix. What do we think?
There's talk of the subscription services about to struggle. With the increased living costs frivolities like streaming are likely to be dropped by customers.
Netflix. What do we think?
Still over valued.
Continues not making a profit and will continue to loose subscribers as the cost of living goes up, and people cut back on non-essentials.
Also be wary of buying shares that are traded in a foreign currency.
Share price could go up, but its wiped out my currency movements (and transaction fees)

Or you could get double-bubble if the FX rate goes in your favour
So, how's everyone doing on their investments?
My Rolls' is down 27%, but doing spectacularly well compared to the £4 grand I lost on Cineworld!
My policy of "what goes down must come up" seems to have been a tad flawed.
See also Intu, Assos, Carnival, THG and Vestas Wind, many of which are down at least 60% 🙂
Weirdly enough despite the above shitshows I'm still just about even, god knows how.
I've not dared look at my pension info, but get the impression prices have dropped a bit recently...
Anyone feeling brave enough to share how their pot is overall?
Also interested if anyone is buying big at present. My head says it makes sense, but I'm recoiling at putting anything in at present given that things could well get even worse.
35% down on Tesla
25% down on Boeing
39% down on IAG
60% down on Palantir
50% down on RR
Anybody want any share tips?...😅
Bit more details, just for shits and giggles:
77% dowm on Asoss
71% down on Boohoo
95% down on cineworld
63% down on Hut Group ('stards)
But the winner is.....
INTU Properties, on which I am down 100.00%
...there's always Crypto! 🙂
when they were rock-bottom post-lockdowns I was tempted having a punt as things were looking up a bit, few big releases coming (James Bond, etc). Glad I didn't now 😂95% down on cineworld
They did bounce quite nicely for Bond, but numbnuts here decided it was the start of a new dawn, and so didn't sell.
Then they went chapter 11☺️🤔🤭
don't worry, you're not alone - the local council here decided to invest millions of taxpayer money in a big new (luxury) cinema complex, despite the entire industry obviously being on life-support at the moment. Not a resounding success so far 😂but numbnuts here decided it was the start of a new dawn
S&s isa
barclays +44.74%
Lloyd's +21.26%
shell +134.43%
doing OK, but lost a lot recently wish i had more to invest.
decent dividends reinvested too
not looked at my s&s pension for ages, its in various UT, I imagine it's tanked
shell +134.43%
That's seriously good timing buying at around 990!
lockdown panic selling dip when no one was using fuel
both lloyds and barclays haven't recovered as much as I expected
I said on another thread. This mini-budget chaos is another good time to be grabbing stock you plan to hold onto.
Well thats my view anyway
I nearly had a punt on Cineworld, glad I didn't.
Haven't looked at share prices of mine for a while just reinvest the divs as they build up.
After c 5 years the cumulative divs far outweigh any capital losses. With decent interest rates I 'll divert divs into savings accounts. I have a few of the teaser loyalty accounts paying 5%.
Good luck, stay in for the long term.
Eve aerospace up 27% for me
Itv and centrica down
Vast majority of my investments are in low cost trackers so not getting high volatility e.g. iShares World ETF is down 6.43% year to date. Average returns with lost costs is my long term strategy.
RR now at 99.27p so...nearly back to where they were 10 months ago.
I anticipate they will fall back on profit taking but the upward trend of last 2 months is encouraging.
Healthy gains so far this year. Still feels a little undervalued at 109p - especially when you go back to first post here. Regret not piling on at 66p now of course. I'm in for the long haul so might drop a few more quid on them.
In HoC yesterday, johnson commented that small modular reactors should be part of UK's energy mix.
Did he have RR in mind?
Yes
Is today the day to sell? 🙂
Options are:
1. sell today, take profit, miss out on continued recovery
2. buy more in anticipation of further rises and eventual return of divi payments
3. do nothing
For me, 2 or 3 are the only options; 3 at present so...wait and watch to see where the share price settles over the next few weeks and probably buy more if that level is 115-120p.
I think today's trading volumes will be high - a combination of profit taking and buyers getting in based on FOMO.
slowpuncheur - I'm still at option 3 but...Citi have upgraded their target price to 224p (currently 148p).
The Aukus submarine deal and sunak/hunt talking positively about small modular reactors have potential, I think, to really drive the share price.
May be time for a tickle...
So. Someone cheer me up on this shit autumnal weekend on the sofa.
Up 148%
C'mon someone tell me they bought some ....
And more to the point, tell me what else to buy on Monday when I sell some.
Why sell?
Because taking profits is the fun bit.
The really fun bit is maximising profit.
I think the share price still has significant upside potential.
C’mon someone tell me they bought some
Mine have done well. I only bought due to this thread so thanks. Bought some a couple of years ago, then sold half when up about 2k. Bought some more last year and they are well up. Decent bike money, but it's in the pension fund so sitting for a while. Motley Fool reckons they have more climbing to do.
I topped up my holding in mid-December so my £ cost averaged price is now £1.26; closing price today £3.08.
Some analysts saying upside to c£6 by year-end but I'm not convinced; £4 seems more likely.
Won't be buying any more.
Anyone actively buying them?
A little punt on Babcock is going well - bought at £3.96, today's closing price £4.60; unlikely to buy more unless the price softens - maybe at £4.20.
Still have my rolls , got into WG last week (after another discussion in here) 53p upto 64p no news today
Rolls-Royce isn’t just a civil aviation business of course too.
Big, steady Defence sector, growing and only moderately hit Power Systems sector and a growing and increasingly influential digital group developing and selling into the data market.
As part of that they have a contract with the US Air Force refitting the entire B52 fleet with an entire new engine system, using turbojets normally fitted to smaller executive jets, along with new pylons and nacelles, plus spares and service. These engines are more efficient, powerful and quieter than the ancient Pratt and Whitney jets which are as old as the jets.
Then there’s all the other military aircraft worldwide that use RR engines, both turbojet and turboprop. I’d rather put money into RR than Boeing…

Congrats to all the holders! 2000% off the covid lows. 1000% if you got on the train (plane?) at the second stop in 2022.
I just sold out on Monday morning as I needed access to the cash. So expect them to rocket now 😉
Thanks for the tip on this one, peeps. I did pretty well on my meagre punt 😊
What's next?!?
Wow, that is a crazy jump. I have been getting various articles pop into my feed recently saying it's likely going up more but I didn't bite. One was claiming the price should be 1000 soon.
Haven't quite had 2000% or even 1000% but still quite pleased with 670% average as I bought a bit more on the way up.
Anyone got another hot tip for similar gains? 🙂
I work for rr
Anyone got another hot tip for similar gains?
Any European arms manufacturers going by the state of things

Probably don't look a today's share price 😅
Lols. Not. Hey ho. We win some, we lose lots...
My Zimbabwean tungsten mining "investment" losses mean more to me right now than a trifling 20-30% gain 😀
What's next?!?
I got Wood, but it's performance turned out to be those service station toilet vending machine pills rather than Viagra.
