great rns, seriously looking to top up here

hope everyone had a good xmas and new year and hope most people timed their santa rally bets right, I had a bad start but in the end turned out ok. Onto HAYT still think it looks very cheap sub 85p, expecting not a great couple of weeks for the market so for me id like a small drop before loading up here if I could get in anywhere below 75p id be happy.

well done, looks like you have a perfect entry price there.

bargain round these levels (live price to buy 180) break through there this should go back up to the 220 we were at before no problem

another contract in the bag, good news.

not one to argue with the market but I cant see anything to warrant such a steep fall

been smashed through my stop, seems overdone to me, might be able to buy in later at a better price?

massively oversold, back in at 106.75 this will rise a fair bit by xmas with a bit of buying momentum id of thought

I was looking at LTHM the other day and I think if it drops below 500 (probably looking for a fall to 480 support) then I should be in, got further research to do but its on my watchlist, I had BOOM on my watchlist at 6p and after it jumped to 12 I cant help but think that ive sort of missed that one for now, might come back in later. Will look at RM and REDD in more detail later on and inviestigate LTHM aswell.

good day today if it comes back a bit today or tomorrow then ill happily top up anywhere around 285

with the way today has started I think you should still be very happy with 277, in the long term I dont think the extra 15 points will mean much but that said im very happy with my price. I was looking to buy in on friday but I rarely trade in the last hour of the day especially on a friday as I believe sentiment can change between friday afternoon and monday morning (probably been silly but just my way) so thought monday morning id be in and then I saw the drop so just waited until I saw it going back up again so im verry happy. Good start to today we might even break 300 by the end of the weak which is definitely where this share deserves to be.

Obviously the price of oil dropping is going to have an effect here but this is ridiculous. Something much more serious is going on or this is just ridiculously cheap

bought in today at 262

Ive watched this share for a while but the timing never felt right to get in but today at these levels it looks very attractive for a rise up to 300+ so really getting close to buying in now. Good to see CM on here, looks a good informative board with some reasoned posts.

very pleased to be in here at 113, that huge sale has actually helped me get what I think is a very good price, got a target of 145 and hoping to top up either at 122 ish or on good results whatever comes first

Not been able to get on for a while but happy with results and just hitting this years forecasts gives me a target price of 105.08 so despite not exceeding market expectations we still look cheap, reducing debt increasing profits, not needing to raise cash for future growth and a higher broker rating makes this very apealing. CHEQUEMATE I had a look at opg power, very interesting especially if 2016s target gets hit, slightly higher PER than what I normally go for but can see it easily reaching 140 just on the march 15 results if targets are met but 2016 much higher again so Ill be in there soon. Have you seen SOM they look interesting, constantly coming in above targets. good results in december and I can see that one going higher. I have read beyond the zulu principle very good book, thanks for the recommendation, also seen that jim slater has tipped ITV you must be very happy with that. sorry to everyone for been off topic.

If the 5.85 EPS broker forecast is hit with the PER we are on now that would give us a shareprice of 130-140ish so im looking at getting in the next week or so

Seems to be a similar kind of mess to the QPP situation? the market doesnt seem to like these kind of deals so why do the directors do it. This company is a lot more sound than QPP and I think looks massively over sold but I also believe it could drop further

Hard luck on TW but been a good day here so hopefully that will even things out a bit for you. QPP is a terrible board, I try to trade with no emotion and that board is very emotional so I try and stay away. You obviously no more than me about OPAY, its on my watchlist but for now keeps dropping so im going to hold off for now. They release a lot of interesting things on their website which arent released as an RNS so if you do get interested maybe take a look. What do you think of SEE, the technology looks there and they seem to have a lot of contracts/partnerships going on but I really dont like putting too much into a loss making company. Just added OPG to my watchlist so thanks for that I will research them when I get some time but a nice little rise today. I read the first naked trader book a few years ago now and found it very helpful but he makes it sound a bit too easy but a very good book non the less, the zulu principle I actually ordered at the weekend to read around christmas. I read your comment earlier today but didnt have time to reply but managed to open a spreadbet position just before it rose today so im quite happy with that, Ill read the RNS tomorrow and possibly even top up again. Im of too jiu jitsu now and when I am back ill have a look into OPG. Thankyou.

Yeah its very similar to yours actually. I have 2 strategies and I have an account for each. One is solid companies that normally pay a decent rising dividend where I look for pretty much the same things as you, all with trailing stops where I feel quite safe. Its well balanced throughout the sectors and normally hedged in someway with a ftse250 short. Its interesting you say ITV as im looking to add a media sector stock to this portfolio and im going to do some further research into ETO and ITV at the weekend. I also quite like tesco right now, OPAY looks fairly cheap and fits my strategy here. My second strategy has smaller companies that I believe will push on at some point. HAYT, IOM, BMN, SEE, IOM all in here. I quite like engineering and tech stocks so im happy to invest in a loss maker if I believe they have something going for them in the future (SEE and BMN). I try to follow indicies as much as possible aswell, recovered some losses with a ftse100 short a few weeks back and im now long in there. I watch a stock for a long time before investing and start with a small ammount first (no more than £1000) and when that goes right Im happy to add all with trailing stops. In december im a bit more relaxed and take a few more punts and through the summer I tighten up close most positions and look to short a bit more. Not a fan of retail stocks and tend to avoid them. Funny you mention construction sector I keep flirting with polypipe PLP and believe that could motor on this winter going to next year, they dont release much in way of RNS on here but on their website loads of exciting project and anything below 245 looks a steal to me. I think PLP, AMS, HAYT, IOM, OPAY could all be a star next year and SEE BMN looking a bit longer term. QPP is an obvious risk but I believe in time that could go up a lot when market sentiment changes, they certainly have some strong fundamentals. I also look for anything at an obvious support level im normally happy to take a punt if its a real obvious one without to much research with a very tight stoploss. So to sum up I dont really have a clear strategy as a whole but every trade has a very detailed strategy with stoploss, target price and reasons for entering and exiting the trade clearly written down so I can review all my trades at the end of each quarter, im only in my early-mid 20s so trying to learn all the time but overall its going quite well so far.
