I'm about 5% down today (mainly EUA, SYME and AMGO). Great start to the year !

Come back 2020 all is forgiven.

Banking and travel related getting hammered. SAGA at 230 - might add a few.
I'm guessing tougher restrictions to be announced later which will no doubt included some sort of lockdown again/ schools close and no leisure travel.
I think there are some shares that have fallen off this PM that shouldn't be impacted.
Dignity - were up earlier, now don 5%
Fevertree - no reason - people just going to drink at home, and missing out on trade .. in Jan??

tempted to get me some more EQT as it is off the high of the day.

I did well on FTSE overnight/this morning. Bought Nasdaq dip on the open for a quick profit.

Thought i'd call it quits for the day and went in for another scalp and have ended up building a position on the Nasdaq and currently in the red for the day rolleyes

On the bright side: Blink charging looks interesting for a buy.

As I often do, I had a feeling that it was getting ahead of itself. Felt that EQT was following with it and would then retrace. At the moment it looks like I cocked up a little with PHE (which I've been in and out of countless times, gaining sometimes losing sometimes so should have probably just sat on my hands TBH) however I get out of EQT at 2.96 and back in at 2.89 making a little cash on the way...Still watching PHE for a dip back into the 8's
And back in at 8.44p (Was out at 9.05p)
Bit concerned that work on site will slow but it's really a LTH anyway.

Echoing those above, I was close to 10% up by 9.00am, now about 1.4% up. Mainly thanks to EQt (positive) and SAGA (negative).

I picked up a small amount of EQT earlier but took an age to actually get a quote and then buy (via Best Invest).

I sold 1 of our favourite newsagents WH Smith today as I do want it long term but suspect tonights news will hurt it.

I bought centamin as a turn burn on tomorrow morning or as usual with my turn burns quite happy to hold if it drops as it looks like it is recovering from the bottom of a trough.

I have funds to buy back into WH smith later in the week.

Significant portion of their sales are bars and restaurants though, even if people pick up drink at home mixers they are a smaller margin, should be a resilient brand though, they really opened up and owned a whole new segment these last 5 years.

VLS and ZNWD are doing all the heavy lifting in my portfolio at the moment. VLS is a long-term hold for me; hoping the next 3-5 years will see it bagging several time over.

The one that I've got the best feeling about for this year though is Tissue Regenix (TRX). I bought in at 0.35 and traded out at 0.42 to free up some cash to average down on ODX a couple of months ago but I bought back in at 0.45 just before Christmas. It's now at 0.53 but it has a lot of potential with expansion into the US well underway and a new CEO based over there. If they can start to get a foothold in the US healthcare market there's a good chance of multiple bags.

It's not a share that I've seen anyone else really talking about; I found it through old-fashioned leg work, browsing through the index and doing some research. Of course I may be completely wrong but I'm hoping this turns out to be one of those that people look back at in August/September when it's breaking 10p and say "How did people know to get in when it was under a penny a share?"

Added to SNG again today on that little bit of a dip at 3.45pm decreased aa. to buy them, Sng Now at almost 70% of my gambling funds.

ABC has disposed of their 19% in aa.
Either they have went to the consortium at 35p or to a new stakeholder and possibly a counterbidder.
Not long to find out

No reason why.

It's already factored in, there's no surprise what Boris is planning to announce this evening.

They're on life support and the doctors are circling the off-switch.
Is this a final rally before death or is it the start of a miraculous return to health?
Can they survive the 'missing' billions and the shenanigans of the ex top brass?
I hope so!

I was about to say similar, we drink a lot of tonic (me vodka, her gin) and FT is nice but hugely over-priced IMHO so the only time I drink it is when I have to in a bar; at home its Schweppes

any a crap day - went from 3% up to 1.5% down, with EUA, SAGA and ALPP nose-diving. And EQT dropping off but still doing well. Thankful for lithium miners
