Just waiting for it to settle down, it will come back. The new CEO seems to have a plan, hes just being honest about what hes taken on. Better off put the price through the floor now telling it how is, then the only way is up. No doubt they will "re-structure" i.e. lose a few non profitable parts of their business, fire a load of dead wood they've picked up through their never ending acquisitions and be back profitable in a couple of years.....
Agree - but definitely time to sit on the sidelines and watch for a while before diving in. They're sitting on a massive pile of cash, but also have a massive pension deficit. A little bit of focus and pruning and they should do well, but am currently unsure how long it will take them to get to that position.

Anyone invested in Hummingbird Resources (HUM)? On the financials seems to be one of the best companies on AIM but I believe the price is being driven down by an institution selling out.

For a novice, could anyone suggest a decent app or website that has a demo/virtual trade ability? Keen to dip my toe in but obviously want to familiarise myself with the process and risks beforehand.

So do we have a bit of a dip which could be a good buying opportunity or the start of a general downturn? scratchchin

Bit of a risk but I topped up VOD earlier this morning.

Very tempted to up my holding in Glaxo (GSK) at the moment. There's concern that they may reduce the dividend, but as a strong long term defensive stock with a current 5.4% yield, they're the cheapest they've been for years, and if they do cut the div, I'm confident it would return to normal levels within a few years. Plus the capital growth from £12.90 currently, to potentially the £15-17 level they've usually held previously.

That is why i put the question mark.

I heard they have been investing huge amounts in the AI space, but have not carried out any research myself.

I think the bears have it, especially on the global scale, Asia in particular. I have the Jupiter India fund and its slumped 6% in the last week. Global inflation fears means bonds are no safe haven either. Plus the money lost to the crypto scam has to come.from somewhere. Ftse 100 is down another 1% this morning, i expect it'll go under 7300 again.

Best make it a couple of months.

Added another 50% to my GSK holding today, one of the only sensible shares I have atm. I've been taking a real kicking this last month on the markets, I want to look away but I daren't. Now my sister wants to borrow money from me for a car. Arrg!

Cineworld (CINE) down nearly 53% today. eek

The problem seems to be over the takeover of Regal in the USA. I’m still showing a profit but wondering what to do next. scratchchin

I'm not so sure. Product and strategy wise (certainly in the UK) there is nothing coming through. Biotech type products seem to be whats coming onto the market now and I don't think GSK are well positioned. I think the traditional old pharma companies (GSK, Pfizer) are going to have a very tough time in the future.

My point being, no matter what amazon do it’s a pimple on the hogs back. One tiny division in a massive company isn’t going to so much as twitch the needle. You want to find a small cap who is doing great things, and the. Get very lucky. The big gains on amazon are over. Unless you shorted then at 1498 and rude them below 1,000 which I believe they will go
