Seriously starting to think of selling my whole portfolio at a modest loss which is only going to get worse and going full bore into Tesla for the time being.

They momentarily punched through $1,400 on opening.

Yep, flying again $1408. Staggering

I did something similar last week sold things like CINE and IAG that could take months to make any money and shoved it all in Tesla.

It sounds a great move... for others. For me, Tesla will immediately tank and BAB hit the ceiling if I do that.

I'm clinging on to BAB for grim death. I've ridden it all the way down, only fair I ride it up too right ?

I wouldn’t say it was a fetish Mike just has a shed load of them he can’t get rid of.

I'm waiting for Musk to tweet some nonsense, then might dive in.

Sounds about right that. Everytime I think Tesla is going to drop at some point big time, people will cash out, its too high blah blah... the ffing thing rises.

Got no choice... all my dough is tied up in BAB !!!

Good FT article here on BABs good and bad points. Main bad point seems to be concerns over potential government cuts. Although right now debt is less than cash held and order book is biggest they've ever had. https://www.ft.com/content/030980fe-dbfc-471a-90af...

Could have made a thousand pounds on it - just made 20 quid

MCRO tanked today. Down 20%/85p. My third largest holding.

Yay.

Might be worth a punt for some of you more adventurous types tomorrow.

Not a bad day, PHE has continued its gains from yesterday, and SIG has finally had a good day.

Even wirecard had a positive day

PHE

Well I picked up PHE as a tip from this thread. I sold half of them a few weeks back as they seemed like another gamble going no where (having had my fingers burnt on a few others). Seeing your comment made me look at them again.

The bad news: They're going for a (small) dilution on 10th July. Not a lot but still this year seems to be giving companies free rein to do dilutions to raise cash :-(

The good news: This RNS (link below) is imo extremely good news. They are now commercialising their system, exploring commercialising it overseas, signing up partners, removing costs, directors taking no salary etc etc. All in all this isn't like some of the other gambles on here (I'm thinking the bankrupt PDL and some others!) this really seems to have legs. I'm up £500 on PHE but this could be in the £'s in a few years time.

I'm actually quite excited by it. However to temper that PHE has an mcap of £85M for a company that's never made a profit. If they ever went in dragon's den with that valuation and no profit they'd have their asses handed to them!

I'm tempted to get more; what do others think?

So they've issued new shares at 0.5p each, this seems a large discount on their current price of 4.4p

Is such a large discount the norm? I could understand a small discount if putting up a large amount of money, but nearly 90% seems to take the piss.

I’ve been in PHE since 0.519p and took my original stake out at 1.6p. I kept hold of 96k shares for free Instead of taking the profit and so glad I did as it’s one of my best performing shares. I can’t work out how many of a bagger it even is due to the fact it owes me nothing. I’m continuing to hold as I feel it really has legs. I’d be tempted at 10p if it ever reaches those heights.

The name of the share is "oridnary 0.5p", it doesn't mean that is what they are worth. They will be worth the share price on the day of issue (same as yours or mine). The name (0.5p) is what someone chose to call them many years ago when they first issued shares. Example BP shares are known as "BP. $0.25" but are worth £3.08 as of today. So you're not been screwed over (except by a 0.25% or so dilution).
