Still here mate, how's it going?

I've held off trading for the last 6 months, not seeing any good opportunities and have had my fingers burnt on a couple of punts last year!

Looking at stock market alternatives such as property and business - too many charlatans running listed companies and taking the p*ss!

Nice one 3P!
2019 has been a crap year for me so far, lost everything on UEN (board room shuffle and corruption) but did well on BOO - sold out at a pretty decent profit.

HNR now renamed ZOE with change of business (CBD!) and branding is launching on US OTC market tomorrow - so expecting a decent rise as the yanks love their CBD stocks! Up 10%+ today on this news.

RBD doing very well and NANO in potential takeover talks - SP has been rather steady considering rumours that Apple are possible buyers.

Still possible to close out 2019 as the best year so far....... we'll see!

Hello Miner, welcome!

Yes, reading RNS' is a very good thing and highly recommended. I personally use https://www.investegate.co.uk/ which allows you to setup a watch list for all your companies and you get them usually at the exact time it is released to the market. Most RNS' are released between 7am to 8am.

Depending on the company you are interested in there may not be much "reliable" info available in the public domain.
Be VERY CAREFUL what you read here and NEVER take anyone's advice on a hot stock tip. Key point here is DYOR!

Good luck!

Morning all, been a long time - can we resurrect this thread again please?

MK1 - ARB looks good, took a small bite, waiting for RNS re installation of the next batch of miners, should be good.

3P - how are you getting 25%, spill the beans mate....! I got sucked into the SXX hype, sitting on a 50% loss!

Can someone please explain the madness that is BOU? There's an RTO pending but for whatever reason the posters over seem to think it will 10 bag when it completes!

I'm not invested but would be very interested to know why they think it will multi-bag?
As far as I know and I've had a couple of companies that have had RTO's before, you get share consolidation and they issue millions/billions of shares and you're holding value drops by approx 95% - that happened to me both times.

I'm somewhat in agreement with you, the signing keeps on being delayed with RNS after RNS stating it's imminent.

I'm going to wait until the end of June and will then force myself to cut half the investment. Hopefully we won't get news that the whole deal is off before then!

How's everyone doing? This board has gone quiet and I had to scroll down to see it!

Anyone winning, bought anything new?

NCCL..... hurry up please!

very interesting info 1750, thanks again. You're obv a savvy investor who knows their way around!

I've just read the Property Guide on the Curtis Banks website - https://www.curtisbanks.co.uk/app/uploads/2019/02/Property-Guide.pdf
A LOT of things to consider and many ways of setting up the wrapper. I was actually looking to buy a small commercial unit for rental income the traditional way, seen some good deals in the market. But will take my time and consider all the options first.

"It's stands at around 70% of my total SIPP PF that I can't mess up trading :) "

That's an awesome way of safeguarding your money from crap stocks - well done!

thanks mate, much appreciated!
I'll research the companies and process a bit more and will probs drop you an email at some time.

some good info there on trading platforms there 1750, do you have more details on the SIPP wrapper for property?

Good shout on ORM and AQAI - sadly don't have any spare funds currently, hope it works out for you!

Joking about BAF by the way, their charges are horrendous!

https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/exdividenddate.py?m=alldividends&fm=&sc=y&st=1
BAF anyone? 23rd May ex-div for anyone brave enough at 12% yield hmmmm!

SOCO should drop 5.5p tomorrow to cover the divi (to around 64p) - if it drops lower than 60p it may be worth buying more as you're getting more shares for your £s while forgoing the divi.

CNA sitting on a tasty yield of 8% also but today was the last day to buy - again same logic applies to above if it drops far below the divi of 8.4p then worth considering. In fact Blackrock have dumped today, probably hoping to buy in cheaper in a couple of days!

Waiting for NCCL.... then will shift more money into tracker funds and divi stocks, need to get away from crap stocks by the end of the year although I know I'll be holding some crap for ever!

Topped up on SOCO also! I think you tipped this a couple of months ago 1750?

Very interesting read on how market makers price and run IPOs:
http://www.offroadfinance.com/2011/12/20/understanding-ipos-and-ipo-scams/

Lol - its gonna happen (at some point)

Interesting article MT but IMO a bit one sided, if you look at the site below you can see that China clearly still believes in the coal sector to meet their own domestic capacity:
https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants

You will see that the developed countries current capacity far exceeds that of any current or pending factory in Africa. Based on this info alone I am very confident the JDA will pass in which case I will cut 50% and let the rest ride towards production.

But if you see risk then you should of course reduce it.

Liked your post on NCCL 1750mk1
She is playing hard to get - but will reward the patient in many ways when she is ready :)

I have high hopes for RBD as there are several high profile news events due within the next 30 - 50 days. Same MC as TXP although many more shares in issue.

Where?
