Me too. As I said before any price below 100 is opportunity to buy.

Lot of that going around.

The market has turned into a giant casino over the years...

Happy holding from 89 and 106, sad to say forums and boards bare nearly a waste of time, both here and lse are slanging matches - I can only assume most have an investment horizon of a couple of months so as soon as a trade moves the wrong way They turn to slagging everything in site - he ho each to their own, good luck to all holders and see what a year does here

They say investing for the long term...in FTSE terms it means minimum 80 years!...




FTSE100 same as Dec 31 1999.

Who would have guessed?

Below 7000.
The average punter would assume an index of over 20000 after 21 years.

"As I understand it RR get paid for every hour their engines are running, they have gone that way rather than selling engines."

No, they still sell engines believe it or not. However, the profits are made on the maintenance contracts. Sales of engines historically have been sold at a loss of £2M per engine. XWB and newer engines are being designed that - with economies of scale - will be sold at cost. It sounds wonderful that RR get paid for every hour they are running, but they also have to pay out for every hour they aren't when its RR's fault. This is a huge operational risk. If a crack in a blade is found in one engine then it could be very very costly as we have seen. You are therefore depending on the ability of designers and the advancements of computer performance to make sure simulations of engines properly model long term performance so these operational risks are mitigated.

With competition, pressure from society to provide greener engines etc.. the ability to mitigate these risks probably decreases rather than increases IMO. Also, RR will have to continually invest large amounts into R&D which will not end-up in shareholders' pockets. Coupled with a pathetic dividend in good times of 1-2% delivered in a stupid format of C shares, low and inconsistent returns on equity, low and inconsistent returns on capital employed etc.. this share isn't particularly a good long term investment, in fact it is rather a bad investment and this is unlikely to change in the future. One could buy it for the COVID recovery and you'll get some recovery over time - but you can do that with other shares that have better long-term prospects. Additionally, the company carries more debt and has more shareholders so there is less to go around as it works its way out of COVID.

IMO & DYOR

Tory sleeze press keep on banging on about uk's success in COVID vaccinations meanwhile our key industries like aerospace and steel are going down the pan. Trillions being wasted on spurios government contracts and inefficient healthcare system but what support have they offered RR which is a national treasure that needs to be nurtured for the benefit of the long term future of the country? And if you want to know who calls the shots in any trading arrangement, the big dog always has the upper hand:hTtps://www.fwi.co.uk/business/markets-and-trends/meat-prices/excessive-vet-checks-and-paperwork-hit-meat-exports-to-euThere is currently no reciprocal arrangement for meat products going the other way.

Mr Zahawi also told the Telegraph that the government was hoping to have up to eight vaccines available by the autumn - with several made in the UK - including one that could guard against three different variants via a single shot

Hey minerve lol

[dope007] 20/4/2021 09:44

Just picked some up. Will sell if they pop back towards 120p again though, but may also add a few more if they go sub 100p

[chavitravi2] 20/4/2021 09:23

As I said earlier I looked in here for a bit of enlightenment as I'm thinking of buying in here. As I understand it RR get paid for every hour their engines are running, they have gone that way rather than selling engines. At least that's my understanding. If this is so then when travel is opened up again which will be soon then revenues will start to pour in changing the fortunes of RR. As I see it at these prices it's a good medium to long term buy. Comments are welcome.
