LLOYDS is going to FLY Yes indeed re: PNL Certainly the impact of over 1/2 it’s assets in US market shows through so comparing only to FTSE100 can be a little misleading. I just did a quick comparison to similar ones in that wold sector (Monks IT, VEVE etf, STS IT and TJ’s ATST IT) over last 3 months: image.png1460x520 100 KB All fairly similar but PNL does appear to smooth out some of the highs/lows… not that it seems to over longer periods I also note. Further, for TJ… I wasn’t sure if he meant earlier that he ONLY puts money into ATST… I assume he didn’t mean that… but if he did… there are other better yielding and certainly more performant funds in this sector on a total return basis and it would well be worth considering that… unless other factors are in play like particularly liking what ATST invests in.

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hey @J_Westlock, Just happened to see Personal Assets Trust (PNL) on one of my watchlists and noticed how well its been doing. image.png960x548 33.4 KB Given the highly defensive set of assets that it holds thats quite remarkable really. Dividend is rubbish though…so I dont think ill be buying. ATB Pref

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hi All, Well 56.55 at the close, who would have bet on that when they were knocking on 58 this morning ?. But hey its better than 53.55 so I doubt many LLOY holders are complaining. US markets throwing a wobbly this afternoon so everything is down and the FTSE 100 fell off a cliff (probably as a result of that) after 160. Oil up still today and GBP down so thats something. Tomorrows another day. Right now my portfolio is pretty well flat for the week. ATB Pref

LLOYDS is going to FLY I noticed that the dividend hasn’t changed recently. As for the split of the company, yes, at the time there was a substantial decline in SP but over the last 12 months it has made a good comeback apart from the big drop at the announcement of the FY results. I was hoping for a better value stream with the company splitting and the plans to offload some of their product line and tie ups with Pfizer. May keep an eye on things over the next few weeks. Not in a rush! Thanks for the input

Powerhouse Energy - Align Research Loasadough… XXXXXX Hi Loads did you manage to sell out of NCYT horrible fall today to 65p Motley called it correct the other day . … Coronavirus test maker Novacyt is up 900%. Here’s what I’d do now Tom Rodgers | Wednesday, 19th February, 2020 | More on: NCYT Scientist filling a needleImage source: Getty Images. Novacyt (LSE:NCYT) is on a rocket ride as the biotech minnow announced the first European-approved coronavirus testing kits. The largely-unknown AIM-listed firm has shot to the top of Hargreaves Lansdown’s most-traded shares list. But investors should be wary of such a huge and rapid boom in retail interest. Up 900% – FOMO? The NCYT share price has increased by 887% in the last month alone. Zoom out to six months and the share price is nearly 2,000% higher than it was. It’s natural to want to get a piece of the action when you see such a massive spike, even if you have no other AIM-listed shares in your Stocks and Shares ISA or SIPP. However, in an ideal world, investors would not be swayed by FOMO, or ‘fear of missing out’, when it comes to choosing what to do with their hard-earned capital. Early investors in NCYT are now taking their profits. As of noon on 19 February the shares have sunk 27% from their 166p high. £10m has been wiped off the company’s market cap in the last 24 hours alone. Momentum With momentum trades — where investors jump on board based not on fundamentals, or profits, but on price action alone — the fall on the other side of the hill is usually just as hard as the rise is impressive. History tells us that flash-in-the-pan contenders don’t tend to last. No matter how staggering a share price rise seems, massive new interest in a previously unheard-of stock will deflate eventually. And then selling out at a reasonable price is a lot harder than buying in. While I do own a few AIM-listed stocks and shares, like video game developer Frontier Developments and multinational marketing firm The Mission Group, these are highly profitable enterprises with solid, long-term track records and high-margin sales growth. The same can’t be said for Novacyt. Volatile Coronavirus has been front page news around the world since the outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. Biotech firms have been racing to develop tests and potential vaccines for the virus. Primerdesign, Novacyt’s molecular diagnostics division, launched a new laboratory-based test to detect the virus coronavirus on 31 January 2020. While saying his company had received 288,000 preorders for tests from countries including the US, UK, and China, chief executive Graham Mullis admitted it was difficult to predict long-term demand for the molecular tests. Day traders and swing traders who sit in front of screens all day every day may be able to get in and out rapidly, but the same can’t be said for the likes of you and me. My play here would be to ignore the short-term rockets and focus on longer-term growth. While you might feel out of the loop while FOMO-chasers crow about getting rich, when the hype fades you’ll likely be in a much better position than they are. I think the Novacyt share price has only one way to go, and I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of it.

LLOYDS is going to FLY J_Westlock: If you mean the place that’s a long bus journey away from Bangkok… Ayutthaya. Hi again JW, Yes that seems a familiar name. Never did it by bus just about a 90 minute trip along the river from the Oriental. A good day out. Best regards TJ

LLOYDS is going to FLY Eadwig: A round-the-world air ticket with 6 stops that you have to think about and plan in advance to get the most from your trip … well that is worth a year’s extra education anytime. Depending on the stops picked, that is. Hi there Eadwig, How are you keeping? Certainly a round the world trip could be educational for her depending on her definition of the word educational. I have done a round the world trip twice, once with her mother and once by myself. Countries visited included Thailand, Singapore, Bali, China, Japan, Hawaii & USA. Some of the places visited included all the shrines and temples in Bangkok and the ancient temple city along the river (forget its name), The Great Wall, Terracotta army, USS Arizona at Pearl Harbour, New Orleans, Nashville and Lynchburg Tennessee (Jack Daniels.) Everybody is different, whenever I have had my grandchildren for any length of time and taken them out anywhere my policy has always been “is it educational?” Five years ago I took my grandson to Ypres (I had never been there) and we spent 5 days just the two of us going around many of the WW1 sites. His father could not understand it “why don’t you just take him to Southend he would like that much more.” On the last day in Ypres I thought that we had probably visited enough places and offered to take him to the local amusement park, “No,” he said " I am here to learn as much as I can." He was 9 years old at the time. He picked up a prize at school for “best essay” for his account of the trip. Most of my grandchildrens savings I have kept in investment trusts notably ATST as I have come to think that their expertise in stock picking and growing savings is actually a tad better than my own. “Perhaps I’ll go with her just to make sure she stays safe …” Of course that might be a good idea these days depending on where she is likely to go but then who pays for what and who chooses where to visit? I think that if I tried that with my granddaughter it would not end well. She is so choosy over what she eats (virtually nothing) so trying out local cuisine would present a problem, although she will eat Chinese, chicken and rice and that’s about it… Best regards TJ

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hi @skiking37, GSK has been challenged on earnings for a long time now, still clutching on its lung treatment Advair for revenue but fast being replaced by generics. Dividend has increased in a long time and was down to 4.5% when they were at 1800+. In their last results they announced splitting the company into two to try and create more value but it didn’t go down well. Doesn’t have a great drugs pipeline IMHO and I don’t see the prospects as being great myself. I sold mine last year and put the money in MRCH. AZN has a much stronger pipeline and its share price always looks like its doing well. But the dividend is very low at 2.8% and at £76 a share you couldn’t call them cheap. If the low dividend doesn’t bother you then I think AZN is a better pick right now. But TBH I don’t really like either… ATB Pref

SDX - Waha Capital - average share purchase price 29.7p You can also look at this website to see the purchases they made (or at least most of them, haven’t added up the numbers myself). One thing to note, this website sometimes reports the transactions in CAD$ when the transaction may have been in £ sterling but doesn’t do the conversion. For example shares purchased at say £1 would be reported as having been bought at CAD$1 potentially. [link]

LLOYDS is going to FLY Hi @trader_jack, Yes the issue with kids getting their hands on their JISA when they come of age is quite a well known one. Depends on the child if it’s a problem or not, need to educate them in advance of the event. But teenagers - who knows what they will do. Minecraft isn’t a free game, I think my copy cost about £30 on the Xbox. Undoubtably cheaper on the iPad as all iPad games are cheap. And yes most games offer the possibility of in game purchases these days, but if your child has a children’s account they should be safe from that (provided you set it up right). Fortnite is more of a first person shooting game by the look of it, we don’t have any games like that, ATM anyway…used to like doom and quake myself though. We quite like the Lego games, some fighting involved but not really first person shooter type violence. Good to hear from you. Keep posting !. ATB Pref
