Vouchers of up to £5,000 for home insulation
Hundreds of thousands of homeowners will receive vouchers of up to £5,000 for energy-saving home improvements, the chancellor will announce.
Thank you for posting that I had a skim through this topic on my morning break which I was late in getting to. I had a sell sig at 32p that I canceled a few seconds before the market opened. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53313640

To my surprise menzies pooled back up to 138 again feels like a second chance after yesterday to get out of it maybe it'll skyrocket today but I had been down on that a long time and starting to doubt it.
Also I chickened out On boohoo sold at 284 so £30 loss but I was watching it for a market open rise and was only really going to take the morning spike if it was up.
Possibility of that at being wrong above in the time it has taken to post it but meh
Lesson learnt today.
I was happy I got out of IAG early not taking too much loss. Then got confused when I still had the same amount of shares. Thought it was a glitch. Penny then dropped and I remember setting a buy order the other day which I forgot to cancel.
Distracted by that then didn’t sell my BAB in time which means I’m now down on that as well.

I was thinking something similar"It's all gone quiet over here"
Things are picking up again in my little portfolio, still a lot of red in the current collection but some profits have been banked over the months and everything I hold should recover and go well into green over the next quarter/half year CV19 willing.

On the US side - Tesla, obviously are doing very well. I thought it was overpriced last year at 500!
What are other people's views? Much more to run even at 1250 +?
I bought into Tesla in June 2016 at $200 and over that time it’s mainly just sat there without anything crazy happening - until a year ago when it’s gone nuts. I think it’s overpriced - especially when comparing to the likes of Mercedes/BMW - but it just seems to keep going and going for now. What are other people's views? Much more to run even at 1250 +?

Why Sell IAG now,? all of the bad news is priced in, with TSA numbers sharply up from May we should see an increase once Covid numbers come down in the states, a vaccine potentially later this year early next and international travel between us and uk is allowed.I was happy I got out of IAG early not taking too much loss.

America has a lot of work to do to get their numbers going in the right direction then they have Avery messy election to deal with and relationships with almost the whole of the world to sort out to lift restrictions and ensure us all America is safe again.BoRED S2upid said:

I still have 7200 shares in for long term and have been experimenting with around the same amount in and out. Overall my day trading on IAG is up around 8%. It was 10% but I messed up this morning.

My personal feeling for all my holdings is that they will all plummet when the current years results are announced (even though we all know they will be bad for the current year, the market will still react negatively). Then they have the following year to recover and get better results. Until that second year is over I'm just going to keep having "oh b****r" days every day interspersed with "well at least it can't go any lower.... b****r it's just gone lower" days. I can now see why people just pay IFA to do all this and just get an annual statement; watching the minute by minute death throes of my holdings is excruciating !Aiminghigh123 said:
As you don’t pay stamp duty on it I have been day trading IAG for the last week.

I tried that last week; most stressful thing I've done in a long time. Also a pita having to spend so much time monitoring what was going on constantly terrified I'd mis-time the market. I made a few quid but it wasn't worth the stress. If I could create rules/algo/process though it may help remove the emotion from it. Also when you first start doing this I felt the need to win every trade whereas in reality you only need to win 3 in 5 etc. In training mode it's easy; using real money it's tough.I still have 7200 shares in for long term and have been experimenting with around the same amount in and out.

f'ing unbelievable. SP is less now than in March. It makes no sense. I keep scanning RNS, results, BB etc no one has any idea what is going on. One of the healthiest companies out there. It is making no sense. I'm about £500 down on BAB, bought at 323.king fking babcockThe 3 broker ratings in June were for: 516/630/825
I still have the faith as cannot see any reason why it is so low.
