I agree....but they are a gamble to me!

Maybe I should start a "Whats your conservative investment?" thread

Why PRU? Price recovery play?

Yes, it appears to be undervalued

It's my least productive gamble though. I've only had a one previous 5% gain.

JD Sports, Kingfisher and Lloyds have been far more productive (multiple range trades). I'm currently sitting on a nice 8% gain from JD from the past few days. I forgot to mention I still hold those. I'll probably take the profits before close today.

If you like to trade price recoveries, have a look at IPX.

Thanks, will do.

I did take my profits on JD yesterday....and they've dropped 8% today!

I'll be buying back in once they stabilise.

I did buy back in when they were down 10% on Friday. By COP they were back up 4-5% and up another 7% today. Just sold again.

JD has by far been my most successful gamble stock this year.

I've overheard a few conversations recently about buying shares in companies that are offering the new weight loss drugs. One example being Novo Nordisk:

With some of these already being offered on the NHS (Ozempic etc), is it something to look in to?

EUA up 57% today!

That leaves me 68% down on my investment.

I’ve gone in with a few individual stocks in my ISA as opposed to the usual funds. Went for some that I thought offer higher growth potential (according to analysts etc.). Interested to hear thoughts: ADBE, SNOW, WBA and LSXMA.

350% gain will see me at break-even.

TRX up above 70p again, highest level for over a year. Small profit so far, had much higher hopes for this one.

While doing a bit of research on the above, I've also come across these two companies which are have upcoming dates with potential FDA approval:

'Geron' (GERN) - FDA target of June 10th 2024

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/geron-announces-fda...

'Genfit' (GNFT) - FDA review target of June 16th 2024

https://ir.genfit.com/news-releases/news-release-d...

Worth small gamble incase either of them do get FDA approval?

For Geron, maybe the moment to get in has already passed 1.67 to over 3 in a day (back in March) hard to call, might be the next big thing... but not for me.

While I agree, I believe that jump in March was after the last FDA review. So I'm hoping similar will happen IF it gets further FDA approval on the 16th.

Is anyone looking at the Raspberry Pi IPO ? I've decided to sit back and watch.
