AMGO looking good today as well - +14.65% - I never got round to taking a position again so may have missed the riverboat.

Hhmm, i've been waiting for the drop back to the 13s or less.
Still time.

Hi Chris
Beginning to think we've missed the boat here.I can still get in lower (just) than I sold but but but...

You obviously should have bought some Helium One earlier in the week.

It's almost as if it was pump ahead of the placing!

So todays gamble at 0800 was between Look and TED.
FML!!

I see LOOK quoted within the LSE TEB chat.

Hoping for a decent day on the US NetZero/Green stocks like:
ALB
QS
PLUG
- I don't see the reasons for the sector getting battered all week.

EQT, PHE & DAI are up in the UK today, so there's some hope

If SPCE falls again might average down a little.

Anyone else got ICON - Iconic Labs.

I bought 1 million shares as a complete punt after a friend suggested it. I have done no research, but gone up 63.5% today.

Current share price is 0.013p, in 2018 they were above 10p.

That could be quite an unlikely recovery, but nice to dream!

Sounds like i'm good at investing in these things. Nikola is another one people say is a scam.

Maybe i'll go out and buy some more

i know this is the gamble thread and all that, but please tell me you haven't bought into Nikola since September and not at least skim read the short report released back then?

Can't remember the exact date I invested/gambled in.

Nevertheless, their polished site lured me in + the green sector was performing very well at the time. In hindsight, I wish my exposure to NIkola / Quantumscape was a bit lower.

so these companies take a large short position, then publish a "daming" dossier and rake in the profits when SP falls

I guess they need a track record of being right but seems strange Gates or VW didnt do extensive DD

I thought that seemed like market manipulation to me which itself is illegal, not sure how they can get away with it... presumably they can if the report is all evidenced facts.

I was tempted to buy QS 6 months back because of the names of the big investors (they surely can't be wrong can they?) and the product they were "developing". But then looked at the valuation and could see it was massively overpriced.

At the end of the day even for gambles we need to check the fundamentals and QS's mcap (at least when I was looking to buy) was simply ridiculous for a company with no product, no revenue and no moat as far as I could see. That said I am invested in SYME so can hardly preach ;-)

Yep, got 5 million shares here at average of 0.009p. Saw them spike this morning to 0.014 and was about to sell but having read the RNS going to hang in there for a bit.

Not planning on retiring quite yet but nice to dream!

ETA: another zero as otherwise I was looking at a huge loss.

Hi Mr O. What are you thoughts on ABML at the mo? It's been totally battered, but it's not worrying me too much right now. What will worry me is if they don't get planning approved on May 12th. Then we'll be properly f-cuked.

Biden's infrastructure bills need to get through and we're still months off that.

I'm waiting to top up on CCIV and jump into Arrival.

oooh hadnt realised arrival had floated - the company is based near me and seems to be doing v well. whats the thoughts here - is it at a low etc?

Obvious potential and I've thought it had hit the bottom more than once, but still it falls. I'm still sat on my hands as that whole sector has been taking a pasting for over a month. I've a slot in my ISA reserved for it at some point.

Put too much in already, don't want to take the loss, so will just stick it out now.

I've put an order in for £200 worth to see where it goes. Just waiting for them to go through.

[indestructible focus]

Increased my TED stake by 20% at 150p should be good support level here, looking at it from a previous resistance perspective.
