Apart from my Facebook purchase pre earnings I still don't see any stand outs. Tempted by UK bank. But think I've missed the boat. I guess it won't hurt to build up cash at this point.

You missed out on Alphabet which was every bit as good as Facebook. Looks like there's going to be a dip in the market for a couple of days or so, could be a decent time buy into some stocks. Of course there is the phrase about catching falling knives to bear in mind.

I still like Fortinet (network security firm). It's been a solid performer for me over the year. Recently beat earnings, but that's not had any affect it's a relatively stable stock as things go these days.

Keywords Studios has been good one too. UK company involved in graphics and 3D for film and the gaming industry.

I'm backing Lloyds to 50p as the UK economy recovers its losses from COVID, and the risk of interest rate rises.

Yeah, i'm more thinking of right now. At 75p if you are still entitled to the 30p dividend then surely that makes it a bargain. Especially since they've now heavily reduced their debt. Unless the dividend allocation has already been done and it's just a case of it being paid later in the year.

I'm fairly certain the allocation is already done - can't actually find confirmation of that but I would "guess" that it was based on the original announcement of the sale of the US holdings back in 23rd April - not sure however.

Really, I missed out on USA tech all the way through. Like an idiot!

Nio still worth a punt at $39?

DYOR

Do you think it is? I don't mean this in bad way but why should others share their information/research that they may have spent time and money on just to give it to you

If you had some spare cash, what would you go into when the market re-opens on Monday?

Same Again - would you? if so why?

Don't EVER invest because some else today you too, or you read it on a forum somewhere - Invest in a company you believe in, you understand why you are investing, and with solid reasoning.

Taking a "punt" on something won't help you understand markets, investments etc in the longer term - you might get lucky every once in a while but then what?

Sorry if that sounds harsh but people just expecting others to tell them where/when to invest is just ridiculous.
 
Let's just delete this thread than shall we?

I hadn't heard of half the stocks people here have mentioned, so it has been really useful and which I can then go away and research myself.

So yeah, not sure what the point of your post was.

Might go down because of the semiconductor shortage forcing production to be halted for a lot of corps

If you're investing in EV though, you should really invest in Semiconductor & Lithium companies too as EV can't function without them so if EV does well it would reason that the suppliers would do well too especially with demand outstripping supply

Can’t remember who it was here that had Hurricane shares, but the company is expecting to wind down in 2024.

That mug would be me, and yes they are expected to wind down in a few years. I would far rather they go bust now, than dilute holdings 95%.

Luckily totally offset by some of my other positions, and I only bought in at 8p. Some of my better holdings were Ceres Holdings and MTI Wireless Edge.

This is my favourite article:
https://expronews.com/company-news/the-billion-barrel-west-of-shetland-discovery-that-didnt-exist/

But I also like the news out there, that some people in the OGA were taken off the approval board for the drilling licences, for questioning the numbers of Robert Trice.

I think there needs to be an investigation, as investors were clearly mislead by RT and his 'independent Competent Persons Report'.

There's been several instances that I'm aware of, of hopelessly optimistic "proven" reserves figures. Once the capital is spent there's not much companies can do other than minimise there losses by continuing with the field - in Hurricane's case the numbers were so bad and the asset being a rented FPSO was very easy for them to cut their losses by completely pulling the plug.
 
Nio seems to be in a bit of a dip, I might buy some more as I'm quite confident in it long term.

My ETH has shot up, I'm thinking it's time to convert to Fiat and wait for the big crypto drop, then go in again.

I am only in for small amounts at the moment and still very new to it all.
 
Lockdown dogs look like they are starting to have an impact now - +25.7% on my CVS Group shares in the last 6 weeks or so. Only regret is not putting more cash into them, only have a very small holding in them.

-15.7% on Cellular Goods now - Although like most for me this is a much, much longer term investment.

Also seen a reasonable 6% on Canadian General (Investment Trust) over the last month.
