[baxter99] 17/1/2024 20:32

I'm speechless!

[scruff1] 17/1/2024 17:34

Im surprised that there have been no comments.

[scruff1] 17/1/2024 07:51

bloody hell revenue - 21%. Tin hat day

[scruff1] 13/1/2024 09:14

Yep - Wednesday I think it is

I suspect you could regret the PHNX - junk - comment. Hope so anyway - Ive bought quite a few recently so one of us will have egg on our faces. The 11% yield will help ease the pain if its on mine but so far the capital growth is fair too (though granted Im only a recent holder). Brave chap if you are still short imo.

I also bought a few more IBST last week. I have a bit of faith in them (medium term). Good co. and I hope to benefit from a change of sentiment in the housing market - they will. Not getting over excited by today's activity but it may - hopefully be a small sign that things are awakening. Certainly some positive sounds over the last few days.

Ah the angry man is back, with complete certainty in what he writes....

Lower than they were 12 years ago…utter basket case U.K. capital destructive dross share like all the building related stuff….see 2008/2013 period for where that sector is going, had some great seriously profitable shorts on junk like Phnx and Psmn over last 12 months but missed this, gutted.

In fact its a bit like shorting a stock. Profiting out of a company's demise. Its against the the whole raison d'etre of investing in a business. Or at least it was before the whole world turned into a mad house of hedge funds, private equity and asset strippers where profit is the only morality and purpose for existence

Bought a small amount.

Yep aware of that but its a strange world where some of us can celebrate the fact that there are higher numbers of people out of work because it makes us wealthier.

scruff1, full employment means strong wage pressure and hiring difficulties. The economy needs a balance, especially with high inflation and record goverment debt. A rise in unemployment means lower wage pressure on inflation.

Certainly is ch4. Even the Russia/Ukraine war isnt worth a mention currently it appears

[ch4p_85] 25/10/2023 07:29

There is too much instability in the world right now.

[scruff1] 25/10/2023 07:24

Not really reassuring. Basically treading water in the hope that things will improve - at some point in the future. Its beginning to look like the whole market is teetering on the edge imo. Bad as things are its hard to see where the improvement is going to come. When even unemployment is being seen as a positive we are in a twisted world

[essentialinvestor] 24/10/2023 13:33

No long term chart to look back on for even rough guidance.

[wad collector] 24/10/2023 13:27

Don't like to see a share price drop ahead of a TU. Especially to an 8 yr low.

Forterra trading update eventually reading across. Update on 25th will tell us the short term story. But houses still need to be built, and construction lulls are periodic, so I am holding on for the recovery.

[scruff1] 18/10/2023 19:27

Surprising. We have taken a right old pounding today and not a comment.

[dope007] 01/9/2023 14:37

So with all these schools, hospitals, courts etc falling down, who is best placed to be providing the bricks and mortar for them?

[wad collector] 23/8/2023 08:48

Xd tomorrow.
