Did you get any SAV MT ? ... 5.8 just paid.

Would've been the xmas tank cup for 2018

we all do it but selling too early is less of an issue of course so long as you are banking profits ... don't fall in love with a story and always bank profits that you targeted initially when the opportunity presents. If you are fortunate enough to bag something I'd suggest always selling at least half and enjoy the free ride for the balance if you think it has legs.... hard to beat being fully de-risked.

Never buy anything just because someone told you to buy it.

Now go and buy TXP and RRE ;)

"What are your long term and short term goals?" ... also important of course.

Having 5-10k of spare cash to have a blast with that you can afford to lose is significantly different to that being the start of your savings / pension pot.

"Think carefully about what you want and how you'd feel if you lost it all and go from there. Avoid going all in. Disaster. Also recommend scaling into a position and trading around a. Core."

Good advice from MT.

Main thing is to do your own research so you know what you are buying into and the relative risks before you push the button... ie: why are you buying and what the potential downside may be vs upside.

Its research on any share you like the look of that you can bring to the table... others can then look at it and offer another view.

ECHO a bugger as most my other shit is up so would've been a lovely day. RRE, SAV, ARCM, BBSN, FRES and even NCCL swung blue.

aye, not the RNS we wanted to see on ECHO... they are producing and have cash so is oversold and will climb back but I do question why I bother with run ups to binary drills unless derisked or in proper low these days... even with punt money like this as it is still annoying.

Not sure about moving into funds right now balman ? ... I'm considering the opposite and seriously thinking of moving a wedge to cash this week. LTGE, Fundsmith and Newton Global core holdings are back to 1% or so of sept highs and I sense a drop or worse within enough of a timeframe to be worth waiting to buy much lower... the great FED pump machine could keep marching on for a while yet of course.

No harm in a few fund mentions here along with the divis and value ... complement the gambling :))

Good divi payers ... yes, fully agree, especially hunting a few at bottom. Divi or not, it's quality that's working atm.

Big sell on Echo Cam ... squeeky bum time.

I got back into SAV recently around 5p (4.98 lowest / 5.15 high) ... hearing offtake news could be march from a trusted LTH who has a good ear out. Decent longer hold over the next 12-18 months in any case. Bid has been strong today.

Talking of Barry Spiv... yesterday mornin' I heard a rumour the RRE seller had dried up, price crept up through the day and today it broke out. Be nice if they stay dried up.

Intel comes straight from Barry Spiv ... an old ex broker mate, genuine as they come. Think I've just been unlucky with everything he's ever said ;)

MWE looks interesting... tiny cap for a divi and looks highly illiquid ?

apparently JDA is all on track for Q! ... loan conversions getting done at 10p in advance as they are expecting 20p on JDA and will be wanting shares to hand to slice a few. So I've heard anyway... probly means the exact opposite :)

forgot to add NCCL to the dirty pollution holds ... hopefully out on the JDA spike this Q.

Agree on the O&G sentiment over long term, not so much a worry for the immediate future... I'm too exposed myself at the mo though... but very happy with holding producers like RRE and TXP for this year, both boring as hell recently (usually a good sign). Long UOG, trusting the BOD to grow the firm but will scale a few out over near term newsflow and hopefully good results from Colter next few eeks... and ECHO for the puntius maximus. Hope to have reduced a lot of O&G by end of year.

Been increasing digger uppers ... had a good 40% run on SHG (GOLD) recently and FRES going well for Gold/Silver, good ballast for the SIPP in times like these... back in and adding to ARCM and SAV recently too as needed some battery metals.

Need to find more tech tho ... BBSN best performer for me recently and appears to be blue sky growth potential and huge buyout potential imo (if Simon Davies doesn't just buy them out on open market first) ...

Annoyed I missed BIDS move as was very close to buying sub 5 around xmas... like the tech model there.

Need more of this tech / new media / data / targeted advertising... so suggestions welcome.

I blame the bloody millennials staring at their phones all day selecting the media content they wish to consume... whatever was wrong with 3 TV channels and being spoon fed Some Mothers Do 'Ave "Em and George & Mildred ?

balman... appreciating the divi hunting so keep it coming. I could do with being more disciplined in the SIPP and keeping a few more bob of the pension away from the dark side. That said, there is the theory that divis are just taking away from your growth (Terry Smith is quite vocal on this)... bit like force feeding you to slice a bit but at the same time taking away from the growth potential were it reinvested by the company in itself instead. Kind of hence the relative performance of the FTSE vs DOW.

One off radar divi I have been monitoring a few weeks is SIA ... only monitoring as it's been death by a 1000 cuts and would need to be the bottom which I have been thinking it is around 70 last few weeks. Made a first move up today so could be looking a good call. Low cost oiler with an acquisition due to complete Q1 as a possible driver. Oddly illiquid mid cap from what I gather from dummy buys limiting to small amounts... but paying over 7% divi at the mo. I have not bought any yet and its appears utr so keep it tight trig.

VOD is an obvious one but could still be risky.

I like CAML... bought a few bang on bottom at 200 whilst following the chart. Was over 8% divi and I was well chuffed with my timing ... but I sold to take 15% profit so no divi. Will buy back if it gets near 210 again.

RRE.... might announce a divi in Feb as they are making a ton of cash and are sitting on a load. I would rather they put it towards a new asset though to speed up the rise... PE is 1. Insti selling at the mo been holding it down last few weeks but something has to give unless there is something no one has uncovered (over the obvious decom costs)... am in quite heavy and expect 50-100% over the year.

Like ECHO Cam.... in for a punt... no divi but huge assets and hopefully 50 bags will make up for no divi :)

ECHO ECho Echo echo

Not looked at crypto much since 2013... and regretting it, as I'm sure are a few of us are with hindsight.. Was always so incredibly volatile, fully bonkers. It is looking increasingly interesting for sure, tho probably still bonkers... just with better apps. Like Cam says, it's still early days and with blue sky potential. Lots to get our heads around... which is all good. Certainly can't miss BT on twitter recently.

AURA ... have a look at the RNS from the other day... "Base metal review highlights high cobalt values " http://www.auraenergy.com.au/investor/ASX%20Announcements/2017/Base%20Metal%20Review%20Highlights%20High%20Cobalt%20Values.pdf
