This is it for me.

No profit during 2020 means they’ll never do it! Takeout was all there was for most of the year!

I'll put a tiny piece before ipo (If I can) just for fun. It also reminds me what Mark Cuban said about Tesla for years. He loves the product, he has 3 teslas already but can't understand the model. A big fan of the product, but not sure about the business model.

Any holders of BBB (Bigblu Broadband)?

PHE has just popped up on some strength

I got in this morning because I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for the price to settle since it took off previously. No idea why I chose today really and no idea why it's gone up today in particular. Maybe it's just because I bought so much. Seeing as I've bought some now I thought I would do some blatant ramping on here I and tell everyone else to do the same. Hurry up before you miss boat.

Can you educate a numpty on what exactly that chart is telling me?

Whats not to understand.. They build cars and try to sell them to people, is about the size of it? Clearly i'm missing a big chunk of what the business model is, but always keen to be educated..

Google candle stick charts. Each vertical line is a candle stick and represents a time frame of how pice has moved during that time frame. At the top of the pic you can see it says 1D. So each candle is 1 day.

Then on my chart I have some other drawings which are generally called indicators. I don't use these to make decisions but I just like to have them on there. The yellow lines and the white line are all added with the indicator called Bollington Bands. These use maths to work out averages of where price has been and then plot points on the chart and smoot them out with squiggly lines. All indicators can only tell you what price has been doing or done in the past. They can never tell you what price will do.

On markets like this they are basically irrelevant. On bigger markets with more and more people making buy and sell decisions the belief is that if more and more people are making their decisions in a similar way to you and looking at similar drawings or indicators then in general you will do the same as everyone else and then overall you should benefit. The jury is still out on that.

So all I was really showing was the big green bar. Which meant pice had gone up a lot. You can see its bigger than most of you others recently. I'll add a new chart for the view today without any drawings. You can see the big green bar shrunk over the day yesterday and therefore price retreated a bit from the big pump.

Obviously from here it will just go in a straight line up and up and up and up...... and up......

[Legend83]

Thanks for the explanation!

In other words, instead of buying a market tracker or in this case a renewable/green energy ETF to mirror what everyone else is doing you throw some chicken bones in a bowl and that will tell you what everyone else is doing so you can do the same thing?

Legal and General

Looks like a potential top around here. Only popped over this area meaningfully once before. Always rejected from this area previously and pushed back down. I think down is more likely than up.

I’ve held L&G for several years. I’ll keep them for the very considerable dividends.

Similar. I topped up with a chunk around 170 post covid, which equates to a dividend of around 10%. Won't grumble at that.

There’s a good article about L&G in the Questor column in today’s Telegraph. It’s very much a hold for their income portfolio. I’ll hold but if I didn’t already have a sizeable holding L&G would be a definite buy for me.

The one without looks rubbish - to me it does anyway.

Chuck a few trend lines and moving averages on there. Maybe even some Fibonacci and Gann indicator if you feel like dressing it up a bit.

On the weekly chart it all makes sense with my squiggly lines back on there. Clearly the white line has made the price go up. Just don't tell anyone because that's my edge.

Very fortunate to have come into a small bit of cash. Looking for a small basket of shares for long-term, relatively safe and steady, possibly income generating. I already have Premium Bonds for uber-safe, plus a drip-feed into a Vanguard fund.

Any suggestions? I was thinking GSK for starters particularly as they seem to be at a relatively low price historically so may also be some growth opportunity there.

This is a drop it in and leave it for 10 years type of thing.

[Burwood]

It's done bugger all in the past 15 years. Im not giving advice of course but plenty of other power brands out there that will do well over the next 10 years. Apple/Nike/Microsoft/Visa. all cheaper now the £ has recovered some.

GSK is good, I’m also a fan of PHP and ULVR for income. Neither will ‘shoot the lights out’ but good steady eddies.

I'd go for something like Warehouse REIT (WHR). 5% yield. Good appreciation over the last couple of years. A diverse range of business they rent to but a fair bit of e-commerce which should be safe for the foreseeable. (I hold)

Yes, I also hold WHR mainly for the dividend but there’s been a decent gain.
