Apologies but I did laugh at the typo.

Reminded me of Captain Kirk and his "final front ear"

As you were, I'll get me coat.

Is National Grid worth a punt now the rights issue has been done and the price hasn't slumped?

I'm thinking about taking advantage of the current low price.
The energy companies must be loving this st summer. A lot of people putting on the heating which is not exactly the norm for June.

My average price is $20, or $200 in old money.

I've seen some people have made millions from Nvidia. Some guy had put a few thousand in and bought them at $12 years ago and held.

Lovely, I hope you managed to pile in!

Even if you only managed 10 shares pre split that’s now 100 shares x £129 that’s now worth £12900. Hope you got them in your ISA

They're not in my ISA and I took some profit along the way so the holding shrunk in size over time. I'd rather not think how much the holding would be worth now if I hadn't been sensible and top sliced hehe

Have stuck by Rolls when they were below a quid and bought in again when they asked for funding I thought I was an investment genius when I sold it all for 100% up on the trade…. Out at 170ish.

Not feeling so happy now. Still a win is a win.

Or me. I had an average of exactly £1 on RR. Sold out at £3.

To be fair, that paid for half an exige.

They were that price in mid-May too - I've been playing with Super Micro and their price overtook Nvidia then but I decided to hang on to SMCI. Big (well, I'm playing with US holiday spending money, so not that big) mistake! But the extra spending money would have been nice.

Loving Rolls Royce at the minute with an average of 96p and in my ISA too.

My main reason for buying in is the potential of SMR.

Which ever future electricity generation solution we end up with nuclear is the one to get us there in the medium term to balance out renewables.

Talk as well of a potential reentry into the narrow body market for engines and servicing in the next generation of aircraft towards the end of the decade.

A few months ago I thought I would start building a position in Yougov....election year (date hadn't been announced then) in the UK and US thought would be a good share to have.

So far I'm down 48%! It really plummeted this morning, so I've topped up.

Got into RR at 104p and still there. My best ever buy.

My new strategy is to wait for a big organisation to announce something awful and buy. Then just sit and wait.

It's paid off most times so far. All my small get rich quick schemes have failed because I just don't do the homework.

Yes I could do with bp being caught murdering a penguin or two to take advantage of.

A reverse stock split.

Not sure of the point, but I wonder how long before they go back to under $1 despite the split.
