Oooooh. Tempted to top up today. But will it drop another 3p tomorrow??? Decisions Decisions.

NRR is one of the 8 shares tipped by Investors Chronicle for 2016 - published tomorrow.

LONDON (Reuters) Jan 7 2016 - British new car registrations hit an all-time high last year, an industry body said on Thursday, helped by rising consumer confidence, the strength of the pound and cheap car loans. Full-year car sales rose 6.3 percent to 2.63 million in 2015, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said, confirming what two sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), which saw sales across several of its major brands fall in October and November in the aftermath of the diesel emissions cheating scandal, saw full-year sales of its VW-branded cars rise 4 percent last year. However, sales of its Skoda brand ended the year down 1 percent and Seat finished 11 percent lower after a nearly 50 percent drop in sales in December.

Noticed that too. Just checked today's Investors Chronicle in case it was tipped there (nut no). Couple of very big share purchases yesterday. Maybe they know something we don't (yet). Happy to have had this end of the year boost to my holding value though.

Looks like a new high to me.

Is it only me that doesn't like it when companies go the "placing" at a discount route to raise more capital without giving existing sharholders an opportunity to participate?

I'm trying to avoid taking any more "punts" (they so rarely work out - for me at least) so this attracted me as a good investment. Have purchased a small amount so that I stay focused and will/should top up as and when dividends come in on other holdings or I bite the bullet and sell out of some of those non-performing "punts" I've landed myself with.

More like a bottle. Been here for a while so glad it's finally coming good. Had been underwater for quite a while and with NAV at something north of 90p there could be a bit more mileage on this over the next couple of weeks.

Positive review by ST in Investors Chronicle today with a BUY recommendation. Personally I think he's being very optimistic needing everything to go right but he's persuaded me to hold on for the time being. http://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/2015/11/18/comment/simon-thompson/high-yield-p-p-play-3ID5YQHXAJ6Zrn8yw0VZ6I/article.html?utm_campaign=ICDailyEmail_2013

It's just a shame that Motley Fool can't manage to get their facts right though. Trifast is based in East Sussex - not Surrey. And they haven't hiked their interim dividend to 80p (I only wish they had).

Oh dear! Yet more shares issued and moreshare price destruction for existing holders. But as I seem to be the only one on here I guess I'm preaching to the converted.

Yes, very happy to keep holding. Nothing wrong with "nice and steady" in my book - and a very nice jump in the dividend too. Why can't all companies do that sort of video "interview" with the Executice Chairman on the day results are issued? Very good PR as far as I'm concerned.

All looks very positive to me. Been in here for years and am very happy to continue to hold.

Maybe - but capt is right. This particular RNS seems to have been overlooked on this site.

As a holder (deeply underwater) I wish I could buy into your analysis but wonder (a) just how reliable those asset values are. After all, if people are not buying then the price can't be right, can it and (b) I think you can forget about that 4.8% yield. More likely to be around half that, I think.

Doh! Just goes to prove the old adage - if in doubt, SELL.

ST in Investors Chronicle reiterates BUY advice online today with target of 80p. Not that his tips have done me much good in the past - so DYOR.

ST updated coverage and still tipping to BUY in today's Investors Chronicle (online). I'm stiil in here but can't bring myself to buy more after the recent(ish) and seemingly never ending fal in the SP.

Don't take too much notice of all those RED trades - one of them is definitely mine and it was a PURCHASE.
