Tristel Share Price (TSTL)

skittled this afternoon. A 6% drop is a but severe but hey ho. Hopefully it will recover soon but good news in that I can freinvest my divi at the end of the month at a cheaper price per share.

I remember you on ADVFN Erogenous. Loved the name haha. You do need athick skin alraight. Never take them too seriously myself. Got a further boost here as it moves to 660/680. Happy days.

Fallingknife1 - I have a substantial portfolio with equities, Investment Trusts and Gilts and options all in the mix and although the bulk are quoted in London, many are quoted on the NASDAQ, Frankfurt, Paris and Tokyo exchanges. My concern at the moment is building up a discretionary trust that was created in 2015 to mitigate IHT that our prudence, hard work and investment has built. At the same time, we have yet to inherit from our parents and need sufficient liquidity and resilience should their health deteriorate and require care.

Within the sector of healthcare, Tristel is a largish componant in portfolio at 3.02% but other interesting holdings include Illumina, Thermo Fisher and Elekta which is a Swedish Company.

Probably the worst investment decision was Cenes (I used to contribute on ii as The Troglodyte) followed by Graphene Nanochem (I also contributed on ADVFN as Erogenous Jones). I was banned from the latter when my accusation of being stalked and the subject of cyber bullying was not taken seriously. My complaint was upheld but I was banned from their platform - bit harsh after 19 years as a paying customer, but no biggie really. Hence my "handle".

As for selling at the top.... well, I am a bit old fashioned and follow the advice my father gave me , to always leave something for the next man.

Yes Alas it has been a good share for me too having first got in and 40 and 43p. It is regarded as toppy at 700p but no doubt we will break through it ast some point. It went ex divi yesterday with no damage to the SP so it is extra pleasing to see today add even more to the SP. Not managed myself to call the top very often except with Halifax, Royal Mail, Churchill China while having many I wish I had sold in hindsight . You got any other plays? I like Destiny Pharma and Science Group myself and PXC as a copper play. Waiting for 700p here.

Well, the share price is having an assault on your resistance point, though it seems to me in my interpretation of the charts that the share price is in a defined trend that has been gradually rising for the last 2 years. On the assumption that momentum continues, I see no reason why the share price should fall below its 50 day moving average - and for me, it is more important to run profits than to worry about resistance points.

Should the case to invest in TSTL change so that it is no longer attractive (to me), then I will sell. Of course, should my own circumstances change and I needed to raise cash then MY priority is to dispose of holdings that have turgid performance and TSTL might be included, though very low down the pecking order. More likely I would dispose of any volatile holdings first. Mind you, I have never discovered the perfect time to buy or sell, except with hindsight. In over 40 years in building my portfolio, I have on 3 occasions bought at the very bottom and have yet to sell at peak
