You said you were holding for 2 pence! Anyway, when the price was down this morning I thought you'd done the best thing,but its recovering now.
I am tempted to pull my original deposit out and let my "free" shares ride, but I need 1.7p for that to leave 100k shares in flow.

NVDA

For longer term potential Airbus.PA
I’ve been in NVDA for ages. Last time I checked I think I was 50% up or something.

My ‘cloud services and AI are the future’ section of my holdings as below are something like 30% up overall combined. Done really well for me. Long holds all of them.

They had a really good year with bitcoin miners in 2018 and when that died they bit the bullet then the share price got knocked down too much in hindsight. Whether it is currently overblown is another matter. I am short on them, ie just want to see if I can make a quick buck rather than long term. If not then they have some good products coming up in the next year so will be a backstop.

Always back a company with a good product line up.

In the meanwhile though... lets see about market expectations and how the stock does in the next 48 hours.
Little pop on good results. Hope it isn’t too painful for you chap.

That sounds really sarcastic but it isn’t!

I have a big chunk and cannot say I am confident in terms of the div. Which of course makes me think the price will continue downward. I haven't had enough time to properly look at it at the minute and don't want to make a knee-jerk reaction to a share I have held for many years, but its on my to do list with a view to getting out so that shows my cursory glance view.

I’m wondering what to do with my ‘oilies’, I’ve held BP and Shell for a number of years mainly for the dividend. I’m now getting concerned about the sustainability of the dividends particularly from BP which seems to have no cover.

Any thoughts?
Crosses my mind occasionally but the ilkes of BP & Shell are both pushing towards future energy projects allegedly.
The divi is still pretty good but the share price seems to be on a steady downward direction
My BP shares went this morning as I had a stop loss in place. Still holding Shell for the moment.

So since my massive success shorting SXX I am now unable to remember the money I lost on MTFB and therefore I have been waiting for the opportunity to use my new found prowess to gamble on another AIM listed good luck story. The one I have chosen is called Versarien with ticker VRS. And this time I am long.
Did you stay in this ATM? Tough month if so...
No

In at 80 and then out at 60 and now teetering on getting back in.
Feels like I missed the boat a bit when I was gonna get back in around 40p. It's already almost 70p. I know it was a bit oversold but that's ridiculous. Surely the shorters will return or was the fair price really around 70p.
Shorters have returned and now we're down to 52p.

It’s a decline due to closing of longs into light buying volume. It’s not shorting as there isn’t enough lend and it’s retail action.

The loyal will be rewarded with £1 by Christmas. I wouldn’t want to be out over the weekend. I’ve remortgaged my house I’m so sure.

WJG still climbing, it's not quite as exciting as these exotic aim tech gambles but seems like a well run company with a profitable niche.

Anyone else holding Carnival? They’ve been a great share for me for a number of years. I’ve had a good yield, an shareholder credit when I take a cruise and until recently capital growth. This was the Telegraph’s comments which look about right to me:-

Update: Carnival
We updated on the cruise line only four weeks ago but at that time few foresaw the extent of the coronavirus crisis and its impact on global tourism. Carnival’s near-term earnings could well take a hit but the business is still fundamentally the same, thanks to careful investment and fleet management. Unless the viral outbreak becomes a truly global pandemic it seems logical to expect Carnival to bob back up at some stage. Sit tight for now.

For those still in SXX (that’ll include me :-( ), I noticed this piece in the evening standard last night.

It’s one of those made up events by retail punters to try and explain why their position has devalued, like the mystical ‘shorter’ scenario. It comes about because people bring a confrontational perspective to their punting that needs to imagine that there is an opposition working against them in order to explain why a punt has failed at a particular moment in time.

It's funny how tree shakes and short attacks get blamed when there is little going on but when brokers are really acting in a spivvy way there is less complaints, lol

Arguably because the broker is pumping the price above fair value so they support the same ‘football team’ or ‘religion’ as the gambler/devout follower.

Same reason why bent CEOs get support but the person who is suggesting that the CEO is bent receives their ire.

And sitting in the middle are the ‘joirnalists’ who are paid to promote one side.
