Hi TradeRunner,

Mondi (MNDI) is available already on Freetrade on the general account (not sure about ISA).

Thank Rust - you’re totally correct, I somehow missed it when I was looking for it :slightly_smiling_face:

As Rust said, it is already available :slight_smile:

They announced that CEO Peter Oswald will be stepping down at the end of March.

CFO Andrew King will take on the role on an interim basis until a successor is appointed.

Shares are down, while we are having a bull market. :cow:

There is softening demand and a quite poor pricing environment, based on my reading:

  • Uncoated fine paper prices have been lower
  • So were pulp prices.
  • Kraft paper grades saw demand bolstered by the drive to replace plastic bags.Pricing remained above 2018 levels.
  • Fibre packaging saw “sharp price erosion” over the first half of 2019.

I invested for the dividends, but planning to sell my shares on Monday. I think I didn’t appreciate the downward direction a paper company can take.

Change my mind?

I’m in a similar boat to you. They were one of my original purchases, but don’t really fit my portfolio anymore.

I won’t sell at a loss, but will look to flip them before long.

Nice. I hope you won’t make a loss. I’m taking a £40 hit, but I hope I will make it up on other companies.
