Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Finally in green on LUNR

Bought high originally around 11 to 12 (when it had landed on moon, next day got the tilted crash/landing news crashed price) and been DCA down ever since, to get price down to around 6.

It’s been as low as 3.5 and the volatility on this share is sometimes crazy.

Now not sure to cash out 1/3 (small profit in £, 50% gain) or just let it ride.

They just secured a possible value of $4.8 billion NASA deal over 5 years with possible 5 years extension. IM2 launch coming up, other deal of around $150 million with NASA around two months ago and other paying private companies (craziest was imagine dragons broadcasting song from moon)

Their market cap is still just $575 million and have massive short interest of 25% and it seems to have hit wallstreetbets attention (don’t know if this is good or bad!)

So won’t take it as financial advice but…

LET IT RIDE or CASH 1/3

got my half year dividends from my work share scheme.... it's good as they issue out divideneds for any shares that they are holding onto as well, which includes partner and other dividened shares that haven't mature yet.

I got 3.6% rate of return, and the dividends payment is normally double for the final divedend payout.
 
I got in on RR at 90p and have kept hold of it... very pleased with the return, didn't imagine the turnaround would come so quickly. My best performing stock by some margin!

Only put a few hundred pounds in though, so in hindsight massively kicking myself for not being more confident... but of course wouldn't actually have been sensible to go all in on RR (at least that's what I'm telling myself).

Still keeping hold of it at least for now, I think there's a lot of future potential too.

Missing out on RR is one of my bigger mistakes I have to say.
I should have identified they are a niche player that had little competition going through a bad patch.

Its been a very good week for me for once. As it's been a grim month or 2

Some of my old stock picks have started to come good

Same. I bought some due to all the talk about small modular reactors and energy security, but time went on and on and nothing ever came of it, so I gave up, then not long after that it jumped up.

I remember looking at it at 100p and I actually don't know why I didn't buy.

Then it went up to 200 and I thought... nope. Not getting caught up buying a flying stock again..

And here we are.. 500+ and still rising!

I recall picking some up during Covid and at the time and begrudgingly partaking in the right issue a little later on.

My best performer but I didn't come out of that period on top.

Yes same here, sold at my 10% gain and went thank you very much :D

I'm still in IAG, I sold a 1/3 of my holding @ about 181, as I was convinced this Isreal stuff would impact it more. However, it keeps just going up...maybe another RR move? Who knows...I dont want this miss out / I'm greedy :D
 
I checked my shares the other day and no change - I bought some in the Tech boom -Well not quite - at the end of tech boom - The company is still going and a few people on here are using them.
At the moment they are going at about 20% of what I paid for them and I put 5 figures into them- They crashed so quick there wasn't time for dumping them - Then they did a buy back -Then took over another company and gave us a few shares in them and instantly gave us One for 2 on exisisting shares and doubled price -Within a month the price had halved so here I am sitting on a massive fail.
To be honest I abandoned them years ago and have just treated it a one of my many failures.
I had a toss up which shares to buy at the time and the one that lost on tossing the coin went on to go from around £1.75 a share to £30 a share.
That's my luck really.

I still hold my entire ezj holding I bought ages ago. My best stock in terms of pounds gained
 
Curse missing out on Rolls Royce. A few of us at work were discussing about RR too last year. Even more annoyingly my holdings in GE were split again earlier this year and I was given some GE Vernova shares. In the previous spin off I was given GE healthcare shares and they tanked and still haven't recovered. I thought I'd be clever and sell the GE Vernova early on 'just in case'. They're now 94% up. Always the way. I didn't have a massive amount in them, probably lost about £1k through doing that but it is still annoying.

I have cash in a stocks and shares ISA not doing anything, need to reinvest. I'll probably just chuck it at VWRP as I don't follow the market / individual companies enough to make that kind of investment. With what's going on in the middle east right now do I hold fire briefly as there may be another dip about to happen due to all of that?
 
I've read a bit in the past about having some gold in your portfolio. I've just taken a look and buying gold doesn't look that simple? There are loads of different ETCs to choose from and they all sell at a different price. Is there a rule of thumb for a numpty to follow if I were to take a dip into gold? H&L are saying some investments may be complex thus unsuitable for some investors. I'm not sure what that means other than I'd need to avoid the complex investments.
