Share Update: How our existing shares are doing
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Our star shares continue to be in Acorn. We bought them a few months ago for 65p and they have recently touched 181p. At our February meeting we decided to take some of our profits and run, but despite selling half our holding, we are still holding on to a huge profit. We still believe that if Acorn unlocks its holding in high-flying technology stock ARM then the shares will be worth a punt.
We also discussed taking our profits on Oxford Glycosciences, which is still showing a 108 per cent gain. But by a wafer-thin majority we decided to hold on.
AB Airlines has plummeted. Growing worries about a life-or-death price war in the airlines market have caused investors to dump AB. It floated only last year at 95p, but it recently hit 32p. We eventually decided to sell a share that has dropped by more than 50 per cent in one month. If this happens then something is seriously amiss and it must be worth bailing out before the company goes down. AB is nowhere near that point but we are concerned.
