Morgan Stanley cuts target price to 1535p from 1650p

[alibizzle] 29/11/2022 17:07

Thanks I know it was stupid but I still have my house and a job . Worse things have happened to me this year to put things in perspective. Increase in share price today though !

You shouldn't feel too bad, we've all screwed up before one way or the other too. Having said that, I do feel you will get your target of £18 here eventually. Over a decade ago, I was following silence therapeutics. It was a 'hot' stock, had a cult following on the boards and many were absolutely convinced that it would be taken over at a huge premium. The most extreme was that one unfortunate sold his house, poured it all in, and then when it all went inevitably wrong ended up living in rented accommodation. Grim.

Hopefully it will also wash away all the nonsense snowflakery that has infected a lot of companies and is absolutely rife in the public sector :) Be offended by your interpretation of someone else's opinions or comments, by all means, but learn to live with it...and above all else, just do your job! Companies should only focus on improving their products and services offering to their customers and clients. Leave all the social justice stuff for your own private time. Do not impose it on your staff or those who ultimately pay your salaries - from CEO down to graduate level new recruits. IMO anyway.

Exactly...and not just tech companies but mega companies across the plc...once upon a time many moons ago before the tech era of mobile phones, computers, ipads, social media etc etc people put in a proper day's work...not any more...more interested in looking at their mobile phones at every opportunity during working hours...

Musk is going to show just how bloated the headcount of many tech companies are, IMO. If he pulls it off (and I would not bet against him), then expect to see similar moves in a number of other tech companies in 2023. Necessity is already driving change, given the macro outlook and more expensive borrowing rates etc. So the wheels are already in motion I think.

[alibizzle] 26/11/2022 20:53

Yeah I will stay positive but lesson learned

Sure, he had a great platform to start from, but nevertheless, he has an impressive track record to date. Not saying he is a particularly likable character (especially that distasteful comment about that diver a few years ago), nor would I like to be his employee, but very few great businessmen or leaders ever are. Certainly it is interesting to follow and I have not noticed a difference in Twitter since he slashed staff numbers. Quite frankly, I would let him loose on a number of UK public sector departments. Pretty sure the results would be similar :)

lol - Musk has a fallback plan, his dad owns an emerald mine.
He's just a rich boy.

I think if my dad owned an emerald mine I might be more
casual with my money.

[pierre oreilly] 26/11/2022 19:11

Musk seems to do Ok in a single company.

Maybe a few billion in a few companies, but basically single company investing.

[tuftymatt] 26/11/2022 19:08

Thanks for being honest Ali and yeah my rule of thumb is no more than 3% of my portfolio in one stock.

Also I would buy 1.5% initially and keep some back to add on dips which nearly always happens. My position here isn't profitable at the moment but now averages 1460 from an initial entry in August at 1650 before it tanked!!

I have done what you have done in the past and got burned badly so I feel your pain. Hang in there and average down with your dividends if you can and I am sure you will get out clean in the end 👍🏻

[netcurtains] 26/11/2022 18:56

Blimey.
I've never heard anyone do that.
ONE STOCK investing...

Almost beyond unbelievable.

I suppose if I was an ex-employee of GSK
I might do it - if I got the shares
via a share option scheme.

But apart from that, I cant imagine anyone
having a strategy like that apart from
Bitcoin investors or Tesla
or Gamestop etc.

[alibizzle] 26/11/2022 17:03

I sold those shares and took a break but decided , pre split , that I wouldn't get better interest payments than a dividend so bought back in .

Not sure I understand.

If I sell now will I lose my dividend payments this time round or is it locked in? Bought at £15.50 a year ago is it worth waiting until it gets to £17 or is that unlikely

I went all in with nearly all my savings . I should have listened to financial advisor and not pit all eggs in one basket . Been stressful since then , down around £16k if i sell now . Still could be worse I guess . If haleon are bought then I could bring back some losses bit of they fall as predicted I'm even deeper on the mire .

[tuftymatt] 26/11/2022 08:33

Did you buy back in the summer Ali when it was circa £18?

I think it has every chance of getting there again but it may take some time. Can you add / average down or did you go all in at £18?

[alibizzle] 25/11/2022 21:03

Yeah I'm going to stick it out for dividends and hope gets.abovr £18 to break even #allin

[rikky72] 25/11/2022 11:45

Where have you been? Most years for GSK are a disaster! ;)

[alibizzle] 25/11/2022 08:08

Roll on.2023 , GSK share price has been a disaster this year . Even with good news it falls

[abdullla] 17/11/2022 16:54

Not now diku but do take a chance next time round.

[diku] 17/11/2022 14:34

[gymratt] 17/11/2022 12:23

[gymratt] 17/11/2022 11:49

[gymratt] 17/11/2022 11:45

[tuftymatt] 17/11/2022 09:56
