Could be time to top up on shares in travel companies. They've taken a bit of a caning in the last week or so with scare stories about no holidays this summer. It's a gamble of course because the industry might not reopen as soon as people would like but it might be worth a punt. I'm going to top up my TUI because I doubt the German government will let it go under.

I'd expect them to start to improve but it will take time. IAG is probably the most solid shout and has the most potential as it was over 2x the current price pre-pandemic. They also own Aer Lingus who will expand into Manchester doing long haul in the next year or so. BA, Iberia etc is also pretty immune to holiday type traffic falls.

I'd imagine most people got out because the dividend was suspended and well they weren't going to be making up ground anytime soon. Their yearly results are out in a couple of weeks and it will very likely be bad news so that's definitely a good chance to get in.

The bad results should already be reflected in the price. It's only if they're even worse than expected will the price plummet further. The problem with the predominantly business airlines is that it is still unknown whether traffic will ever get back to where it was due to online meetings becoming more effective which saves business a lot of money. On the other hand, everyone is ready for a holiday and as soon as restrictions are looking like being lifted the holiday companies will be inundated with business.
 
Must admit, I kept typing it in on Tuesday and couldn't find it, which is why I missed the price below 0.20.
When i tried the next day, it was there. I convinced myself that I'd been typing "ABEFP" instead of "ABEPF" but Trading 212 do seem to be have been strange this last week.

Also, another tip I read - to make sure you order goes through, specify "market" and "value" rather than "number of shares". Seems to have worked for me so far - it sometimes takes time fr things to go through but they are probably suffering with huge numbers of trades at the moment.

Anyway, I've finally dumped Bushveld - it may be good in the long run, but in the meantime, I reckon I can rack up a bit of cash through these lithium stocks - got two orders of £90 for ABEPF in the queue for today ......
Can't be accessed from an ISA account apparently as OTC. I need to open a trading account I'm told.

I initially opened an ISA account but immediately found I couldn’t buy certain shares so I just pressed the “invest” button. Maybe it’s a bit more tricky if you already have funds in your account.

ABEPF is nearly 20% down so I’m hoping it will pick up next week as more people buy!
 
Don't know if this is beginners luck or what. I had a few bob which was earning nothing and stuck some into shares.
I got talking to a fella who was well up in the gaming industry we were talking about the betting shops being closed and I said it must be damaging them, this was back in Aug he said it won't bother them much and he had stuck a few quid in william hill share4s back in april when they dropped like a stone and had more than doubled his money but he said he was going to keep them as they were doing deals in the US for online gaming so I stuck a few bob in they are up 95% from when I bought them.
Mentioned it to another fella who is pretty well up in the world who said stick your money in Avacta who are in pharmaceuticals and looking at covid vaccines they were already miles in front but I still went ahead they are down 12%. He also said try eddie stobart of which there are 2 diff companies so I stuck into both of them one is up 83% the other 86%. After this I started looking at the markets myself I noticed one "expert advising a top tip for 2021 and another expert advising to sell the same stock so I thought I will just stick to what I fancy. I looked and read about under armour - reading up on them they were lagging behind nike and adidas but were starting to get themselves together so into them I went they are up 32%. Then I noticed this thread and started reading as it went along and noticed someone mention SKLZ gaming it sounded a good idea so stuck in them and they are up 31%. Next someone else on here mentioned Biden getting in and the grren climate situation so I bought GEVO which are a bio fuel they are up 37%. Next was HYLN who turn normal lorry engines into electric bought them and they are up 7%. Thats all I'm on at the moment so only Avacta are showing a loss I have different amounts in and the total gain over the whole lot is 21.62% on the money I have put in. I now can't stop looking at the fukin things. I suppose had william hill gone down and then seeing avacta go down I would have probably called it a day but at the moment all is going well. May well be beginner's luck I don't know but with the boozers being shut the gyms being shut and not being able to go to the match there is fuk all else to do other than keep looking at these.

Nice one , are you doing the lottery anytime soon ? If so let me know your numbers:)
 
Ripple the company behind xrp have a court case brought by the SEC, first proceedings on Feb 22.
This was announced just before other coins began their rise in price causing xrp to lose 70%.
Any favourable mutterings from the court, could see a large rise in price.
At the moment xrp=56 cents. An increase to 3 dollars is easily possible win an eventual win in court.
Chances of XRP winning ?

The SEC don’t usually bring cases they don’t have a v good chance of winning

I'm going to top up my TUI because I doubt the German government will let it go under.
TUI up nearly 10% since I posted this on Friday morning. Bound to crash now that I'm being smug about it.

On another subject, I speculatively bought SCLP last April for about 9p. They've been doing alright at around 14p until today when they briefly doubled in price following media coverage over the weekend of a potential breakthrough in a Covid vaccine that covers all possible mutations. There was no RNS this morning so the price has fallen back to 20p (up 50% on the day). Missed the chance of selling at 28p so will hold, although tempted to sell half. If there is an RNS which backs up the media coverage it could shoot up again.
 
You seem to have read a lot about companies and hit the jackpot each time!! Just a tongue in cheek ask about which company you're reading about today! :)

Okdok I got the wrong end of the stick !Someone else asked if I was Warren Buffet not sure if he thought I was making it all up ??
As I say prob 99% luck - SKLZ definitely came from this forum and they are up 30% since I bought them a month ago.

That was me.

no, not being snide, it’s just that you’ve done well with those picks so it was a little joke. Assuming you know who WB is ??

I wouldn’t mind being a pound behind WB.
As I say I think I just touched lucky especially with the Stobart ones which are split in two yet both keep goin up.
