peteret: Agree with you ref RR ...have been in those from 69p and will hold on. BT is another flyer ..in there at 101p. Still see considerable upside in CNA ...I guess that's where we differ? Have waited until late this September and in effect bought back into my former government float stocks of the 1980s ! Made money out of those shares then . Reckon the same for 2021. Not too late to reconsider your recent sell? You might regret it come the end of this month ?

I sold also but at least made a pathetic £29.Glad I did I bought rolls Royce and its flying and still worth putting more on.

Aspers your such a clown. You sell at 180k loss and you keep checking in every day.Sounds like you have regrets.You pathetic clown.

I don't consider daily fluctuations in price a drop or rise, just noise. The sale will not count until the money is in the bank and redeployed and the company balance is physically seen to improve. The gov regulator will back off and the divi will be eventually restored when the balance and profits recover. K

We've started a seven-year contract with @Eelpower_BarnEn to optimise its battery storage plant near Lincoln. Louis Burford explains how vital battery storage will be for hitting the UK's net zero commitments, but investor confidence is low. Read more ? bit.ly/37Km1vR

Just sold out of CNA at a huge 75% loss in the hope of recovering those losses in the depleted travel sector. Not easy turning a big paper loss into a real loss but hey ho, sometimes fortune favours the brave. Hopefully SAGA, CCL and IAG can turn it around for me. Not easy to buy a share that is already 100% up in recent weeks but I think in two years time we can possibly double these early gains.

Ammu......not emotionally attached but still ISA attached although maybe they will be getting binned soon as did my main holding last week.
Too many better opportunities out there.....you were all jumping up and down with excitement last week saying how this would fly once the energy sale had been approved. Well it has been approved but I don't consider a drop in price “flying”

"Come back in a year" but keeps posting every day....Emotionally attached to centrica lol....

[aspers] 03/12/2020 07:52

Cleverinvestor........thanks for asking but OK thanks. A pending RI will give me some more extra cheap shares too, just like with my IAG holding did. As I keep saying lets come back in a year and compare notes.

Ammu12: You where right he is emotionally attached to the share, he can't let go.Aspers the pathetic clown

[aspers] 02/12/2020 07:39

Ammu........maybe dumping these last week in favour of travel shares was the right move then? What do you reckon?

BREAKING: The UK's independent healthcare regulator has approved use of the Pfizer/BioNtech #COVID19 vaccine.

I agree, lots of upside potential.

The market will give credit once its money in the bank.
