seems there was a lot of sell orders in at 25p, it bounced of it like a tennis ball, I agree it'll be back over 25p within days, if not hours.

Time to load up on BAE and oil stocks. War is imminent.

I just shorted oil. Not a long term trade but it fell when the dollar fell yesterday - that's a bearish sign to me...

Relative weakness agree, went short wti yesterday 53.75, top of recent channel plus held by fib level from the recent highs. 51.50 line in the sand or possibly a deeper correction.

Us markets wise get ready to buy the dip soon imo, 2250-2280 be a great place to target 2430+ for the SPX.

I've been watching Boohoo since it was mentioned on here waiting for a buying opportunity, but none have really shown themselves, it's the most consistent linear upward trajectory share on my watch list over the last 3 months, also my nieces and nephews reckon its good, well they grunted in approval when asked... So I bit the bullet and bought in with my SXX profit.

Last chance to grap MTFB sub 50p this week, I think.

£2 by June! Now owning 66% of Pretty Little Thing which is doing really well in America is only improving sales!

It certainly is growing rapidly and the earnings are largely set in stone for the next couple of years due to management piling everything into growth. I would think they are building a take over target. Zara perhaps. Either way i would agree. It's going higher.

I was very sceptical about this when you said it and going to accuse you of ramping but based on the movements this week it doesn't look like you're wrong.

It's not too late ;o) There is a long way to go for this, do your own research etc.. etc...

Here's a piece on Investment Trust currency exposure that might be interesting if we are to have a strengthening GBP.

What is the general opinion on Lloyds Bank LLOY and their potential future share price? Do they currently look like a cheap buy considering their profit announcements, or has the past 'issues' and breakup of the company meant this is about the price of their existing business? What I would say is I like banking with them, they have certainly improved vastly over the last few years; streamlined and up to date.

It's been spoke of a few pages ago. It's the one bank that is adapting to future banking changes (at the moment), some of which are dramatic to how people will bank in the future, including a complete change of branches and how they're run.
In my opinion It will be a great banking dynasty in the future. I can only see share prices going up.

Spotted the mention a few pages ago that went no further than someone asking why it was going to tank. Would certainly value some opinions so thank you.

I'm afraid that the balance sheets of the big UK banks are still so huge that there are almost inevitably further shoes to drop - be they credit issues, mis-selling, data privacy whatever. Equity holders must accept exposure to this, consequently to write-offs that can dwarf operating results. Look at the aggregate costs of PPI. I can't see any way to quantify these risks, so can't see myself ever owning these stocks. The new "challenger" banks with clean books and no legacy issues may be a better way to play the theme of better banking conditions.

How do you guys find shares, and then select which you invest in and how long to hold for?

I'm the first to admit I don't have much of a strategy when it comes to this. I tend to find companies via a mixture of word of mouth and general internet searching / inquisitiveness. I'll then buy based on a story I find compelling and that I see offers an opportunity for growth, rather than aiming for yield. I'm happy to hold for years and ride out bumps if necessary rather than trade in and out.

I appreciate this is a very open question, but I'd be interested in some of the thought processes other people go through, and their aims for their trades!

Anyone know of an S&S ISA provider who might be able to hold Canadian listed shares?

I spoke to HL and received this response:

"Unfortunately we are unable to trade [that particular share] on behalf of our clients, as this particular stock does not settle within the CREST system used by Hargreaves Lansdown".

I assume, based on their reasoning, that this will be fairly 'common' amongst the ISA providers/ they have the same CREST system?

Share name redacted until I've done more research but I will let the thread know once I am happy with it (gold/ mining).

I'm hoping to see a significant jump (there is plenty of time to get involved) in the next 12 months so it would be nice to be tax shielded and I have my full ISA allowance available this year.

Anyone bought into BlueJay?
