pray for peace

any good news on Ukraine and it will spike up, and vice versa

ultimately the resources are still there, still valuable but Putin needs to calm the fk down for the sale to go ahead as before

What's the worst case? Vlad seizes all of it for the Russian state and shareholders get fk all? I've not got many and I'm at an average of 18p so it's not like I'm in a massive hole or stand to buy a house off the proceeds.

That is the worst case imo. Vlad hasn't given an indication yet he will do anything like that but each day he clamps down on stuff, and the West clamp down on stuff too. Both sides are equally dangerous to EUA sh imo. And if this drags on another year there are lots of days left for the screws to get closed tighter from both sides of the sanctions vice

I am very deep into EUA (too deep really) so stand to lose a lot, not end of the world a lot, but a painful lot!

The sale must technically still be being negotiated though as I’m guessing they’d have to release an RNS if potential buyers have pulled out.

Painful on the US markets so far.

My Peloton punt yesterday came good...until I forgot to sell at the bell... mad

What I should have done is average down my holding in BOIL two days ago!! mad again.

BOIL was absolutely flying yesterday and opened very strongly today. By the time I was at my desk a lot of that growth was wiped out so I'm holding on for the time being. Still hopeful of much more growth from here.

Still mainly cash, short term bonds and gold/silver via physical ETFs

My best performing holding has been short notice (<1yr) US treasury bonds (up 7%) as everyone is running for the equity exit.

Overall PF is drifting very slowly higher, mainly due to FX changes, as the USD goes up.

Based on yesterday's rout and today's follow through, I'm now outperforming the S&P as well as the Nasdaq but still underperforming the FTSE by 13% since I started managing my own SIPP though.

Still have POLY, and some copper and aluminium holdings that are drifting south (recession risk?).

Bailed on my Nasdaq long this afternoon after the bell *cough* margin call *cough* near the bottom.

Then proceeded to scalp a few small positions. I don't have a ton of confidence trading Nasdaq positions for longer term.

AMD has been on my watchlist for a while. When I feel a bit richer I am likely to invest some there.

Just binned off my industrial commodities this morning.

Lost about £50 on copper and £500 on aluminum, they’ve been dipping as I guess people are starting to price in recession.

Fx rate and the strong dollar keeping things afloat though.

Everybody wants to tell you of their winnings no one boasts about losses. I think I have 1 green stock today lol. Pepsi and thats only just. Anything that doesn't make any money right now is tanking.

Lithiums etc all mega down but we're all bought a long time ago for me so hold for now. Lots under water though but I wanted more of them so really shouldn't complain.

I guess what you want is 1 or 2nof your stocks down so you can load up within others are flying high to balance it out. Not all at the same time laugh

Yup, P/F sunk today.
Couple of ones to question (as opposed to the pile of ste like SNG, BOO, THG, PHE, CWR etc).
Bellway (BWY): been doing well, it was 20% up a few months ago, it's now 10% under despite good figures
EasyJet (EZJ): Bought a few small bundles, they have been in profit a number of times, rather than take profit I've held thinking this is the start of the return to double figures and the SP of a few years ago. Nope, back under again...

Two greens in my p/f today - DLG & SHEL. Don't want to know how much I'm done today in monetary terms.
