As ever, very balanced from Dan: โ€œ@ElonMusk is the Thomas Edison of our generation and @SpaceX also has no other comparable in the technology industry at this scale.โ€ BUT: โ€œI believe the risk vs. reward is very poor at these valuation levelsโ€

Interesting observations Simon and Iโ€™ve also been adding - despite Wise not being my typical sort of investment, it seems like a force to be reckoned with and having used their services for quite a few years now Iโ€™m impressed. #WISE

Great to have attended @MelloEventsUK this week despite feeling a bit under the weather. Not a drop of ๐Ÿท consumed! Lots of familiar faces to talk shop with and great to listen to various companies plus fund managers such as Richard Staveley and Chris Mills. Recommended โœ…

Want less of something? Tax it. How many more examples of this does this government of twits need?

Nexus Infrastructure plc #NEXS interims tomorrow. Iโ€™ve got a modest holding acquired over recent months. Huge potential for Tamdown to deliver substantial profits vs current mcap but market sentiment is near rock bottom and geopolitics / inflation / Vistry wobbles isnโ€™t helping.

Is this a clue regarding the likelihood of the California contract renewing, at least in some formโ€ฆ If not, it seems an ill-timed recruitment drive ๐Ÿ™‚ #KOO ๐Ÿ‘‡
Adding more Kooth #KOO ahead of results next month. The tone of this doesnโ€™t seem to imply Soluna is going to be pulled from California any time soon. ๐Ÿ‘‡ assets.ctfassets.net/i449x1eโ€ฆ

I donโ€™t tend to tweet much nowadays re: shares - something Iโ€™m hoping to correct in 2027. To generate some discussion, I have interims tomorrow from long term holding #SNWS and would be interested in views on the cost of diesel impacting them? This was flagged to me by another investor friend. Final mile is contracted out to self-employed drivers with their own vans but will still have an impact as contractors will ultimately demand higher rates. Warehouse distribution was trialed by mgt using EVโ€™s but their own (small) fleet is primarily diesel. Iโ€™d expect fuel costs to be perhaps ~ยฃ25m a year or around 25% of distribution costs at a guess, but looking back at the 2022 fuel spike when diesel hit ยฃ1.90 it didnโ€™t really impact the group, albeit it was only a temporarily spikeโ€ฆ A longer term high fuel price could potentially hit them for ~ยฃ10m until they renegotiate contracts with the publishers, but some of these contracts run until 2029 before renewal. Given the Groupโ€™s solid cash generation none of this is going to break them but itโ€™s a potential unwanted headwind. Look forward to any informed comments! #SNWS

King Charles speech was a master class, trump was humbled whoever thought of gifting the HMS Bell is a genius. In one small gift the President has been knocked back a peg or two and has been reminded of how UK and it's allies all stand shoulder to shoulder when it actually counts

Nice to see @ShoreCapital have initiated a note on #MSI albeit no forecasts just yet. Whilst itโ€™s my 2nd largest holding Iโ€™m a little conflicted as short term (12m) performance may be underwhelming, yet longer term (24-36m) the outlook continues to look v promising. Patience!

Wise words from the sage ๐Ÿ‘‡
Warren Buffettโ€™s concerns about AI: โ€œEven the people who are smartest about it say they don't know where it's going. It's one thing to say you don't know where you're going if you're Columbus and can always turn around and go backโ€ฆbut the genie is out of the bottle.โ€

As a new #NEXS shareholder this is good to read. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Recent bid interest for #VANL adds another dynamic to the investment thesis.

Warren Buffett: โ€œ90% of the people that buy stocks don't think of them the right way. They think about them as something they hope goes up next week.โ€ โ€œI think about what the company is going to be worth 10โ€“20 years from now.โ€

Iโ€™m not a LBC fan particularly as like most media outlets they like to dramatise, but this interview truly is a disgrace. Iโ€™m highly embarrassed and genuinely concerned at the state of our military, particularly given events since 2022. We really are in a desperate situation. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

How many frigates and destroyers does the UK have at its disposal? Defence Secretary John Healey can't seem to tell @NickFerrariLBC with any certainty.
