Contrarian Growth & Recovery Income Investor with a Dividend Mindset.
Investing is about what you are doing today that will influence what happens tomorrow.
@FynnCapital It's a stupid move by the government. The more tax they put on investors the greater disincentive to invest. The biggest investors bringing in the most revenue will just move their residency abroad. I too am contemplating the move and I'm only a small fish.
Today's Winners & Loosers
#Oil & #Gas stocks are clearly the stock market winners.
#Minerals & #metals such as #gold#mining stocks have had the biggest losses.
@David90shaw Democracy is at a brink in the UK. When the government messes around with "freedom of speech" and arrests Free #Palestine Protsestors calling them terrorists you know we are heading into an abyss!
Bad News for #ITV Investors:
Shares slip today after the ITV media business sale to Sky. Offloading its "golden egg" profitable arm leaves investors with little scope but to sell, as future profitability & dividends hang in the balance BBC News. ๐๐
@ATLCWorker Seen this so many times. Simple answer pay staff a decent wage. If a food establishment really said to customers if you can't afford a gratuity payment don't bother coming imagine how many would have to close up shop.
@jzrdan Using it's share price graph growth as a reference point only, it's probably at it's correct valuation. I do feel there is so much software out there using Adobes format that it will inevitably affect Adobes profits and future growth. It's difficult to know at this moment?
@jzrdan It didn't get to involved in the tech rally apart from buying Intel a number of times at around $19 share. If I had held my nerve those few thousand pounds would be 6x the value. However Iooking at many tech stocks right now their price nolonger looks like investment value.
@Simi_2210_ It's a knitted jumper or sweater so it's full off holes. The AI figure may also be an athlete jumper?
Anyway already replied to this with a different model holding this up wouldn't be surprised these are all AI accounts.
@Rossmc_85 I too had done some really bad investment choices back in 2007. It's taken 15 years to get back in. This time doing things right and not trying to make fast money. It's never to late.

Due to tariffs, european Car manufactures shares are having a tough ride having fallen 40 - 50% in the last 12 months. From an investment point, all the above now offer interesting entry points with long term opportunities.
