I hope it continues up as I have doubled my stake but not my holding, if you know what I mean. It was a big retrace which I had not expected.

Hello barneydog3967, it is common on every site because the mid point of the spread when a trade is reported may have moved since the trade was executed. A purchase that slips below the midpoint is a sale. If the spread has been widened to control the market then this could give the same result.

Good to know-can be sure he only chooses safe investments.

You are largely correct but I think underestimate the exciting low cap area in which they operate and the tax rebate is essentially a gift helping fund the inevitable failures, as you point out, it is immediately discounted in the sale price in open market. To participate in low cap with big potential,diversified, is reasonably low risk and the managers keep you informed on the companies in believable fashion info you don't get from other investments.

better than bank deposits, 30% rebate plus 5% return p.a.. Diversified portfolio of small caps which are often unquoted and the vct management help them with follow up capital if required along with constructive advice. Often the company can be successful and generate such a return that it has to be sold to comply with percent of vct. Regular dividend and possible payouts encourages holding for long term, active involvement deserves the fees.

are they on sale at 95 then DeSouza?

Would have been smart if you did buy some more, I have had the opposite luck elsewhere. I think Mrs May's speech sent the market down a bit but BGEO is a good hedge.

I am always more nervous of stretching myself than taking profit but if I had any spare I might be tempted and had thought it might be a good play.

mark up; see my last post??

Occupier demand remains healthy, in particular within the retail sector, where there are also a number of opportunities to secure residential planning approval to capture significant capital appreciation, most notably at the scheme in Walsall town centre where BHS was previously an occupier. The portfolio now comprises 1,410,881 sq ft, with an occupancy of 93% and 310 tenants. http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=RLE&ArticleCode=uqp3095a&ArticleHeadline=Portfolio_Update_and_Dividend Looks like the BHS property will be flats.

tipped this week by http://moneyweek.com/author/maxking/ he says a great fund for the long term.

http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=GHG&ArticleCode=7jtuo873&ArticleHeadline=GHG_announces_completion_of_the_acquisition_of_ABC BGEO is 65 per cent owner here so maybe this big deal has not gone down so well in the current unsettled situation in the region. It will blow over.

Maybe prospects are being taken seriously. (brain short circuited)

Bigtosh/CHEQUEMATE Things seem pretty stable for Gb Group http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=GBG&ArticleCode=ohhakyh6&ArticleHeadline=Severn_Trent_Water_Case_Study We should get an rns on the renewal of this contract soon, a major one.

Support from somewhere. May prospects being taken seriously.

Well one answer may be that a rise in interest rates to 1 percent will double the cost of money Barclays hold and maybe the market thinks this will happen. The devalued pound will mean more money flowing through the bank to make foreign buys. Foreign earnings will mean bigger remittance repatriated. Hence sp for Barc has risen recently in anticipation of much bigger profits. Vod has had India to contend with and a more competitive market and regulatory environment and is not underwritten by government like the banks.

earlier today, close @ 4.3. 48,227 stock marketed

It is a fairly volatile share but a solid one with a strong base so feel it will be good long term. My hope for Russia /Turkey cooperation is panning out nicely and can only see Georgia being a major beneficiary. I took some profit @33.83 on 9/12-good timing, so you have more than me now xbb. Good Luck

need the sp up 250% from 3.53 to all square. 8.825
