Soolaimon 15 Nov Re: The sound of silence BistI wouldn't be at all surprised to see Smith in financial difficulty very soon, it's been a hell of while since the cancelled IPO, they stated they had private investors ready to invest, well we have heard sweet nothing, which to me is a very bad sign.I also believe Tanfield will need a further cash injection very very soon, why else would they be slowing production down, only one reason for me, not enough funding???Sool

yes - in general markets at least (oversold and US up after our close), but....you know my Eeyoorish prognosis Have a great evening and rest of w/e Let the drama continue..

& like the look of your portfolio (none of which I have considered!) - best of luck with it With my Eeyore vision (obviously confirmed by weak week), mid caps are in the 4th Ring of the Inferno because so many have been puffed up by the bond bubble Really good to connect with a serious (minded) investor ATB Jolly chuffed

promising first afternoon time will tell

==> forward p/e ~ 10 (Barclays stockbokers' current est of analyst average) simplesz (DYOR /not investment advice etc etc)

Mannan - or lower still?

clearly a bit of selling, Zorns - what price for re-entry is the question

oh well: win some, and stay on sidelines for the others Jolly philosophical

sells at close

my farewell gift..

A feast in prospect

another winner for you quite possibly - decent buying interest at the end of a weak weak week I have flipped almost completely out (so just rewarded the broker and mm) because I am feeling the fear man (perhaps imminent p****) and also I just could not work out how valuable the PE book really is Best of luck and have a great w/e Jolly tired

said Thomas £1 in sight at the end of weak week Bedtime soon Jolly impressive

with £5 (in weak market conditions) - doubt it will be the last (like a seedy Friday night at a nightclub)

you held your nerve & buyers are coming out of the proverbial (in a weak week for the market as well) you clearly know your craft

If you buy a stock at a sufficiently low price, there will usually be some hiccup in the fortunes of the business that gives you a chance to unload at a decent profit, even though the long- term performance of the business may be terrible. I call this the "cigar butt" approach to investing. A cigar butt found on the street that has only one puff left in it may not offer much of a smoke, but the "bargain purchase" will make that puff all profit.

on poor day in markets

a flutter, of course!
