Morning my friend, ready for another day of uncertainty again. But let's hope it will be better than yesterday. We can't keep on losing everyday. This got to stop. Well, maybe it's time to have a green day for our portfolio. Wish you all the very best my friend.
Have a great day at work.....and time for my coffee now.

By the way, our four sick dogs must have taken the vaccine jabs. They aren't sick today. Let's hope that they can hold on until the end of the day.......lol

Good evening Sidi
Good news to report today on p/f. 10 blues, 2 reds. Althought FTSE down a touch, p/f + 0.5%
Yesterday p/f was -0.8% with FTSE -0.6%
Monday was both down 1.1%
So holding my own this week so far.
Got a headache with one of my cases as HMRC technical error means info cannot process.
Will have to reset and try again but takes days to reset on HMRC system with deadline 31st Jan too close for comfort !
always get the problems as busiest times - sods law in all its glory !
Back to work for me and having take-away tonight as Mrs CSDI had tough day too with colleagues off sick; piling extra cases on to her workload.
Hope your p/f had good day - at least 3 of our pets behaved better today - just need to train RDSB again LOL
Catch you laters

Good evening CSDI.
Yes, my portfolio enjoyed a small increase in total value as well but only just with 6 blue and 4 red. Only one of our bad dogs went down today, big improvement hey? ....lol
I did not buy back ARB. It's going to shoot up tomorrow because the SP went up quite a bit in the US after the markets closed here. In fact I still got the cash with me haven't bought anything yet. Will see what's on offer tomorrow then decide.
Good to hear that you portfolio also enjoyed the rise too but sorry to hear that Mrs CSDI isn't too well. I hope that she will get better soon.
Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Good afternoon SIDI
5 blues 6 reds and 1 green, with p/f + 0.6% thanks to IMB, RDSB & GSK. FTSE done better today at + 0.8%
Slipping behind my work schedule as so many calls today.
Not yet started the delayed schedule. Hey Ho - a long night ahead.
Hope your p/f progressed well with ARB flying, topping up GSK, RDSB and VODs good work. You might have to retrain GGP and SYME to behave properly for you. With CEY doing badly for me this week I guess gold is in doldrums.
Pop back later.
Take care, Cheers - CSDI

Good evening my friend.
You were right. My GGP and SYME both have gone very naughty of late. They causing me a lot pain and worries. Particularly GGP because it a super-weight. Therefore it affects the whole of my portfolio. Needless to say I have underperformed the markets for these two bad behaving dogs were vomitting blood again today.
Also, I did not buy ARB back. It was a big mistake selling it. Oh my, perhaps we need to swap names. You are far more insightful than me. Should have my name and give yours to me and they would fit much better......lol
Instead, I spent half of my cash topped up SYME, hahahahaha. You should know what a stupid I was. Now I am definitely putting too much into one single AIM. Probably will cost me a lot later. Oh well, this is how I have lost a fortune in the stock market. It's not new anymore.
Nice to hear that your shares gave you joy today. Very well done my friend. Have a very good evening. Talk more soon.

The end of another long day in the office. It's like doing a marathon for me - not that I can run at all !!
January is always a slog before taking some time off in Feb - but get the feeling one of my clients is going to ask me to do some extra days due to a major management reorganisation.
It seems I've managed to upset ADV11 with my chat on the NCYF share. Funny as no one else writes on it, other than me and Andsoforth LOL.
Must say Mikey is a pain on VOD - so I just ignore any of his posts and will not write on any of his threads.
Do you keep an eye on Red Braces Brigade as they might have some good ideas for you on short term trading there.
It's not my style but interesting to see the results of trading vs doing nothing.
Many years ago I had a CFD account and did quite nicely for 12 months playing with the taxmans money I had put away !
Also had a spreadbet account with CMC, which was fun until got badly burnt with the US30 index dropping a mile and missing a stop loss. CMC executed at lowest price and wiped out all of my account. So decided there and then not to try that again until had some money that could be gambled. Still waiting to save something that I dont mind losing. Maybe when I am older and stopped working .... but that is a long way off yet.
The market defying gravity and covid at the mo. I wonder how high the FTSE can go. The US markets have been incredible over the last year. The Dow Jones used to be roughly 2 x the FTSE100 when I was spreadbetting in 2005-2007 and now it is almost 5 x. The Dow Jones is poor relation compared to Nasdaq. My instinct is to take out a short position on the S&P500 soon via ticker XSPS. Its got be a bubble waiting to burst ?
Time to get off laptop now. Too many hours on computers is not good for my head.
Take care my friend. Have fun with Netflix tonight.
Then get your coffee in the morning and send some more good luck to our p/fs.
Lets hope we can share good news to finish off the week in the markets
Cheers - CSDI

Good morning my friend.
Rise and shine. Good news from me today? I rather doubt it. It could be another blood bath for my shares. The FTSE100 is already showing 30 odd points in the red. All my sock dogs will probably start to throw up blood again right from the starting order. And oil is also in retreat too. So RDS will surely fall back after the highest closed yesterday since last June.
Lol yes, Mikey on VOD BB seems a bit too negative(just like me) but he should keep it to himself and not moan and whine too loudly all the time.... hahahaha
Anyway, don't overwork yourself. Also wish you and your shares will have a good day my friend. Tell me more good news later.
BTW, this thread has gone to page 4. I shall start episode 2 with my next post. So, look for the new episode please after this one....lol
