Lucky, Never thought of it like that but you may well be right, they have hidden agenda's and strategies just like PI's. GL DD

Thank you for your reply. Not been doing this long but already very sceptical about broker forecasts.....IMV this still has plenty of upside, so will hold and wait. No doubt once one broker upgrades others will follow suit. GL DD

LM They (Numis) upgrade profit forecasts but retained their sp target of 1810 today.....guess they will upgrade at some point who knows with Brokers!. DD

But.......looks like Numis & Credit Suisse only think their on target, wtf do they know!. Copout, no problem. GL All DD

Copout, http://www.digitallook.com/news/21561198/Davy_Research_downgrades_Barratt_Developments_ups_Bellway.html GL DD

Blimey, congratulations......perfect timing based on skill, wisdom and TA no doubt, luck never comes in to it! Haha. GL DD

AA, As you say not a bad week all considered.....a 13% weekly rise for the next couple of weeks will do nicely!, somehow doubt that though. Sorry to see ABG's drop following Barrick offloading......at least they can't sell anymore for the next 4 months and with Mr Putin helping the rise in POG it may get back to where it was before. GL to all who held here. DD

CH thanks for posting feedback, sounds pretty good. AA, it's going the right way for a change but guess still going to be long hold for me to get to B/even. Putin helping POG again......not too good though for the rest of the portfolio!.

Interims better than they could have been, looks like the trading update had covered most/all of the bad news.....now hopefully onwards and upwards. They need to sort out their contractual margins so it doesn't happen again. GL AA- See ABG on the move after today's RNS DD

Me too..............hope also that the Investors Evening is not so much about damage limitation but investment opportunity. Soon find out. Have learnt a valuable lesson here either way. GL DD

Evening AA, Fingers crossed for Monday....soon know our fate. DD

AA, Some more ramping! Buy, target 12p http://www.mideasttime.com/wh-ireland-initiates-coverage-on-goldplat-plc-gdp/84922/ Strange though, WH Ireland "initiates coverage"?, thought they have for some time?. DD

Thanks for feedback......even POG nearly hitting $1,350 today can't budge this. Seems like everybody is sitting on their hands until the 10th. GL DD

Looks like HOC will be promoted to FTSE250 this Wednesday. May kick it up even further. DD

Good afternoon. Time for reflection I think.......I am in two minds whether to cut my losses here before the 10th, although my guts tell Me all bad news in now priced in (how many times have we thought that...not just here but elsewhere). GL DD

That's one reason why I bought these in Nov 2012, a month after hurricane Sandy!. Not nice, but profit is profit. GL DD

You must be reading my mind!....have been watching SPD for ages but because MA keeps off loading & the Debenhams deal seems to have put the market/investors off a bit have now switched to getting some JD., there cheap at the moment and as you say World Cup may stimulate extra growth. Was also looking at some clothing retailers (SGP, ASC, NXT & TED) with SGP so far at the top of the list (tempted with ASC but AIM and over-valued IMV. With the economy improving, wages & disposable income increasing (particularly for the under 30's), then clothing retail, especially online, will hopefully be a good sector for strong growth (along with housing related, car sales & travel). Hence also got PDG, VTU & LOOK on my watch list (along with TPT & TPK). Only invested in 5 companies at the moment but my target was about 10 (had more at one point but felt it was getting too many so reduced). Many thanks for your advice and words of wisdom. Good Luck DD

For the very good advice. Although I have dabbled with shares for many years, over the last two years I have invested a lot more seriously. AHT is about 24% of my PF and was contemplating top slicing and putting some in HWDN. The largest investment is BWY @36% but in terms of capital AHT is my largest.......and best performer which is why I am reluctant to top slice too soon!. GL DD

Ian. Don't blame you....hope the RNS has been overly negative so Interims may look better than market expects (live in hope....or ignorance. One or the other!). Nick, fair play to you, even if had the cash it would go against my instincts to try catching this knife....but then as Del Boy says He who Dares Wins. GL All DD

But as usual caught me out.....tied up at work. N1+Brewin reiterates buy but increase target from 1350 to 1800. Nice timing as also guess improved sentiment based on SPD update. Next time will catch the b@£&?!d! GL DD
