hmm twice i said i'd get back into capita if it went south of 40 and didnt and it rose and i regretted it. whether to do it this time. wondering if things will get back to a few weeks ago or if its more terminal. which is what i said the previous times.

Wish it would rise,I'm still in at somewhat higher than 40!

And Boo continues downward, think I'll out and accept the loss.

Anyone back in on Amigo? Decent rise today so far

Never got out, but I may now. Lesson learnt.

[Aiminghigh123]

Right new tactic I’m selling everything I purchased recently for modest loss. Around 1% so holding a bit more cash.

Might buy in later in the day. Always seem to be more dips then.

[dingg]

Boo

This is oversold imo

Bought some this morning.

Gamble no stop but see this back to 400p in 4 months

[classicfred]

Have put a bit more into Greatland Gold this morning

Missed out on 57% on Monday, taken 16% which was (negative a lot yesterday).

May wait for the dip if there is one.

DLAR and TILs holding ok.

Don't blame you. I cannot see any light at the end of tunnel this week or the following week, dire day again, more losses across my portfolio.

CINE still heading down. They're another that stubbornly only goes downwards. End of July when cinemas open I think they'll head upwards quickly.

I'm not so sure. Surely that's all priced in? I hope you're right though. I've got stacks of them.

You may be right but when they actually open (bearing in mind there have been many delays) and when actual attendance figures are known (no one knows if anyone will actually go to the cinema yet) then when both these things are known I think it will leap. Right now there has been little movement as dates have come and gone. I hope I am right as I have shed loads of them.

I think there will be another leap when the Cineplex dispute is closed as there was a drop when that kicked off so only right it springs back when it's closed (maybe that is too logical for this market), but of course it could be a year before that sorts itself out.

Realistically all these shares like CINE, HYVE etc need 1-2 years to get the current year results out the way and get a better years results in next year. Trouble is I am too impatient and want to see results every day!

Yes agreed. I am rooing the day I was up £21k and stupidly held. Now only £3k up from when I started late May. Mind you whilst £3k up I own a lot more shares as any that have done well and run out of steam I've sold and averaged down on others that are still flagging.

[fizz47]

I’m also going to increase my cash position today..

Will wait for Chancellors announcement as am hopping there may be some announcements that have not been released to the press yet. At the very minimum I think there will be a small uplift and then will reduce holdings where i can..

Ouch. I bet that was disgusting to watch.

It feels horrible to take a loss. I did it few weeks back taking a £2k loss on the sales. Everything I sold is now well below what I sold at.
Just spoke with a friend who manages a gym. Everyone is on furlough and last week letter went out to say hours will be cut by at least 20% when (if) they get back to work. No plan for that until September at the earliest.
Out of all my close mates only 50% are actually working.

Anyway thread drift....

Back on track I still hold a very small amount of WDI. ha ha

[journeymanpro]

i too have now crystallized my losses and sold everything. will hold in cash for now and still look to day trade if the opportunity arises.

[anonymous-user]

Let's hope the budget puts some oooomff back in to the market.

[Luke.]

I'm down about 20% but just holding tight. Can't see me selling anything for at least a year.

[Atanasoff]

So let's talk BOO.

Thanks for the comments last night. I largely agree. The RNS this morning should have made a difference but it didn't. So is it being shorted? I am still in at 333 so pretty exposed (my own Babcock!). It looks like 200p is possible.

Fundamentally I still see a good business model with loads of potential. The fake outrage will pass. It did with Nike, Apple etc etc.

The rag trade has always run on piece work. If people arn't quick thy won't earn much. But UK conditions will still be better than Morocco, Bangladesh etc.

The key question - Is fast fashion going to disappear and everyone will end up buying Patagonia T Shirts at £40 each? No.

Going to watch like a hawk and try and get in at the bottom. (Yes I know!)

[*Badger*]

Are the DLAR Rights issue shares (110p) due today?

[MR Kirbyz]

Just got in BOO at 205, well this is the gambling thread after all.
Not sure how this one will go, it’s hard to call the bottom but 205 is cheap enough for me.
