Well the US is an utter car crash. Once again.

Well iconic labs has gone up 20% today however my trading212 hasn’t updated yet so is showing 0% increase. Very frustrating!

You should try owning them in HL as their web page only show to 2 dp so mine have been on ".01" as they round up for quite a long time! If you are quick then it shows the actual price and then rounds back to 0.01 again lol

Still great news that they have gone up. I got in when they were down at 0.004...it was sadly only real gamble money so only invested £300 but at least it isnt like some of the other gambles!

Well, today started great, the the US opened and it went downhill quickly from there.

The FTSE 100 slumped after a decent start on Tuesday as concerns over a global chip shortage sparked a tech sell-off in the US.

By the close the index was down 0.7% at 6,923.17. In the US the S&P 500 was down 1.4% to 4,132.97 with the tech-focused Nasdaq index down 2.7% to 13,519.50 by 4.30pm UK time.

Any idea why Ceres Power (CWR) is down so much? ITM even worse.

Rough day. Didn't think GGP and EUA would drop so much either. Barclays lower - so I bought some more at 170. ARB giving up some of last weeks gains too, but to be expected with this stock..

And just doubled my holding in SPCE....

Be careful with this stock I’m down over 40% and by no means bought at the high, there’s a few high profile investors sold it recently, cathie wood, etc.

Definitely not watching AMGO and counting the profit missed by trying to get in cheaper.

Hi Chris, I've accepted that I dropped a goolie by selling recently and have bought back in this morning after selling off GGP, EMH & AEG. All in the red unfortunately. Hope to make up those losses in the big sombrero market.
Nearly dumped PHE & EQT as well but there's still hope for them. The Mexicans may still be an in and out but I should have stuck with my thoughts from long ago that they will come good.

CaptainHindsight said:

Same boat here, but decided to swallow my pride and have bought back in, through gritted teeth. Profit is profit, even if less than it would/should have been, and this AMGO is the definition of this thread. In to win, but prepared to lose also.

Count me in to the sold too soon gang... Don't have the bottle to buy back in now! You guys are bold! I think there is money on the table but I'm still concerned that the JPM/BB buying is on behalf of Benamore or some-such... Waits for the vote to pass and then gets disruptive! Slightly annoyingly... I'd be on pretty much a 4 bagger now from my buy earlier this year. Might look for an in-and-out if there are some pre-vote new nerves.

Not seeing anything else on the board that takes my fancy at the moment. I have no interest in crypto, despite everyone in the office seemingly being all over it but my THX has done nicely. Looking for another leg up on AIM listing and gold pour, hopefully next month.

Bought some Enphase as a LTH. Not sure if we're at the bottom yet but it's about as low as I've seen it this year.

And a bit of ABML.

I looked at CWR this morning, I was in a bit of profit, thought about taking it as part of my clear out to buy back into the sombrero factory. Decided they were a safe hold for more.
Dummy!

Absolute st sandwich today.
Saw a brief spike this morning then everything bombed. All house builders down, at one point persimmon were +80 but finished at -70. Was debating with taking a bit of profit in MNZS, blinked & missed now in the red. Took a punt on BARC after last Fridays dip
now in the red as well. And on and on!!!
Considering the positive news about covid cases & travel opening up this morning why on earth has this happened across the market today?

Crap day for me also. Did read this below ;

''The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined over 300 points Tuesday, as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of higher interest rates. Dow Jones leader Apple sold off sharply, while Tesla stock is falling through a key support level in midday trade.''

Is PHE is widely held stock on here?

What is your opinion of the company?

Rough day but Kodal up 30% which was nice

Currently sitting on nudging 3 million shares which made a dent in the sea of red everywhere else

Jumped into Corsair this afternoon and up a quick 2% so far think there’s scope for them to go up a fair bit this year

Google's showing a strange price for RDSB at the moment - 15p!

These are class B shares, priced differently.

Thanks for the warning!

I hold a few super volatile stocks but yes I don’t know much about this one.

Might halve my holding and see what happens...

I’ve been in since 0.29p cost me 3 grand ish. Sold out at 10p so £100k I just thought it had been over hyped. I’ve waited for a few months and bought back in at under 6p (I reckon 4 odd p is a bargain) just over half of what I had before. The build of the plant is progressing I believe it should be complete this year. Once it’s operating it’ll be a game changer PHE could change the world quite literally. They’ll licence it out all over the world.

Have you read their website? www.powerhouseenergy.net

The White family have huge holdings and have held for years. Howard White was a big noise in oil and gas I believe and fully believes this is going places. Me too!

I've been in and out of PHE too, it's been a funny old rideup to 4.5p, slow drift back to 3.0p a number of times, done OK for me BUT bought back in at about 8p after it hit 10p and since then it has slowly slipped down. I'm sure there's a happy ending coming but I do wonder sometimes. Was never a huge fan of Tim Yeo when in politics and wonder if he's the right guy here.

Fantastic annual results from BOO. Hoping for a good lift today.

Doesn’t good results normally mean a drop?

Seems to be the current theme
