Suggestions for a speculative punt?

Cine was a risky punt even for me, but it was discount investing from my side, their financials aren't looking good and in billions of debt, but hopefully with CVA's they will be able to restructure and get rid of non viable overheads.

I was going to buy some today, but they are up by 10% so I bought Glaxo instead. Dont follow me, as I know nothing about shares

Yeah I was going to dump more into IAG, but I'm reconsidering and looking at letting the market to settle. As I suspect alot of the short sellers are responsible for some of this uplift. Will see what happens towards Friday and might make another belated punt. Obviously with hindsight I'd pour everything I had into IAG when it was 80p. 

I think BP/RDSB/EZJ would be better for longer term and safer than the ones mentioned above. 

Discount investing aside, I like the look of THG, new to the market but bags of potential. Might take a punt as their at a low point at present, one for the future

There's still some good shares to get despite some of the crazy rises yesterday and today, fill your boots with care. 

@csgohan4

Please can you list few of them here.

Thanks

Excuse me butting in here, but I still believe Arrowhead (Nasdaq: ARWR) remains one of the best investments for the long term (also good medium term) possible right now. It's the fastest growing North American tech (in the bio-pharma sector), and still extremely undervalued IMHO despite big gains recently:

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2020/11/18/deloitte-unveils-2020-north-america-technology-fast-500-rankings

I bought some around $71 (averaging up - I've been buying since around $21) and would buy more if I had the spare cash available. Today looks like a good buying opportunity. Uninformed investors/traders selling it off when they should be buying, after yesterdays earnings/CC - they don't understand that negative earnings mean little for a non-commercial stage bio-pharma company (read the Yahoo message board for this stock, linked in my thread which is linked below):

https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2020/11/23/arrowhead-pharmaceuticals-inc-arwr-q4-2020-earning/

Management is as good as it gets, great finances, etc, and it's the best of the best in it's field (RNAi) which is cutting edge tech that is set to disrupt Big Pharma and biotech like no other company has managed in the past. They are super aggressive and focused, yet still small (for a pharma company), and Wall Street simply does not understand these implications, so it remains very undervalued, and now looks like it will sell off more, providing an even better buying opportunity.

I have covered it at length (towards the end) in my own thread here:

I know, I've read your threads, they are on my watch list. I don't have a limitless pot of money to invest sadly Although if they were at 35p i would have bought

Although I take what 'Fool' says with a pinch of salt, they said not to buy IAG a few months back, then say buy and now say don't buy.

If that's a reference to the link I posted, I only posted it for the transcript of the earnings call. I would not listen to anything those fool fools say!

Yesterday I  was planning to buy either of BP. or RDSB but unfortunately both were up.

SO still indecisive, whether I shall go for them today or wait.

Also please can someone explain me  me whats the difference between RDSA and RDSB?

ARWR down 12% why is that? 

Someone said on here that the best time to invest was 10 years. The second best is today.

if I invested in Tesla 2 weeks ago I would be 30% up by now.

Long Explanation. But simple explanation if you are based in the UK using UK trading Platform you will need RDSB.

http://www.differencebetween.net/business/difference-between-rdsa-and-rdsb

"RDSA is listed in the Netherlands with a withholding tax on dividends of 15-25 per cent while RDSB is a U.K.-sourced dividend under the company's Divide Access Mechanism."

Both RDSA RDSB are traded in UK, NL, NY. Just be aware the RDS stocks are highly effected by the price of crude oil.

I used to have RDSB but I sold it as I wanted to divert to ther stock where I believe my money could work harder. It is a good stock as in the past they were already closed to botttom. They are too big to fail, so the chance it is going under administation is very low.

If you are waiting RDSB to go back to 865p, I wish you luck with that. Everyone want to buy the stock where the price at rock bottom. If we could now exactly where the rock botttom is we all already become a multi billionaires.

I used to have both of them but is sold them all. Difficult decision, boht are currently having a rally. But I personally prefer BP as I believe they have a more diversified business.

We notmally donot buy the stock whne they are at long time high. We are waiting until a little pull back to enter the market.
