... good post , got to go to the printing press.

... get a feel of it , tread gently , and master it by trading, gently. Shorting should never be feared , it is a shorters market.

I was only throwing the otherside , how much did IG charge ?

I am looking over my ben and the midden I have to get over to touch it.

... is that scottish for crack or what?

....good man , was it a short?

.... are you ready to grab hold of your pants?

you may already have this , but if not , use it and it may be of use to others , a great rescource tool and the market trader platform is free and a gives a great overview. http://www.digitallook.com/dlmedia/investing/uk_shares/company_diary

I think that when such a fall , usually created by results , happens , both long and short on 2 accounts . The worst case scenario is you break even but you are more than likely , if the stock stacks up on its fundementals , to gain from any fall from further weakness covered by your short and exceed your buy in later down the line by closing your short when it has found its market support level and the SP is then driven forward again.. kind of a drip feed touch should also be applied and reserve the major buy in when support is evident or you really believe it has been tested and oversold. Nothing is easy and mistakes happen , but , with DCG , its stacks up and you trade the stock as such. Weakness will occur , so trade that weakness not look at it.

.... drop off more so on the commuter rail side. This will remain the soft spot for SGC and to be honest , imo , they should sell their interests in such and focus on wheels on tarmac. I think that you are correct in saying sideways or a fall , but hey , drip feed in as calling the bottom is never easy and SGC have options. DGC is a another stock that got dissed by the markets and it continued to fall. Support has now been found with DCG and whilst SGC could go the same way , why not start drip feeding and cover with a short on another account until it finds its support?

.... I closed my short yesterday which peeved me a little. I should have closed and re-opened another short with a tight GSL , lesson learnt. Did short it from 308 though so can't complain. Just went long for the ride back up. May get cheaper later in the day so will look at putting more in and shorting it big time for last hour or so if the DOW plays hard to get.

... took the £10k profit , will come back for more ... a great week thus far , may put some into SGC.

I was just about to post on SGC ... you and Monaco should be well up for this one , based in Perth and all that:)

I really do not like posting on a main share board as I feel judged. I feel that whilst this stock is out of favour that it , in my book ,remains worthy of consideration. It has dropped some 30% since I showed interest , a little foot , but I am , imo , saying that DCG is a midcap that will perform and is a likely strategic takeover target. I did not like putting in another c.85k , but I feel that DCG will pay both pay their dividend and be subject to a bid , simple as that.

..rude not to.

.... is my hedge , and I consider DCG a worthy punt for those that do not seek 100% the next day. I stated that I will pick a few that , imo , that be worthy of looking at. DCG be that. Yes I bought a few at c.250 , a few being 5,000 shares of which I see both red and a dividend and I just bought in today a further 50,000. Call me a sucker . but , as sad as I am , DCG are well positioned for a takeover.

...bloody hell K , no numbers , you may give the game away!

... well , what can one say , showing red on my initial buy for a safe 8%? dividend yield , now c.12%?... I very rarely hold any stock and when I start to buy to hold , they are well targeted and drip fed. Hedged this one well and I am buying in to hold again , my god , what is Mark doing. My thinking is that a significant percentage of raw dairy products were imported from Europe on the cheap through subsidies , etc , but these are likely to fall off with Euro Policy and increasing budget defo. With the GBP nose diving against the Euro , the likes of UK scourced products will become increasingly attractive. I also liken the TESCO 'we will buy out the RBS eliment'. A wayward lateral thought maybe , but if you cannot increase sales by significant margin , start to increase your profits by significant margin by buying out tested suppliers in the chain that you can easily absorb the majority of sales of at cost , thus giving you an increased return down the line. I am not saying jump in , I am simply saying that the most downward rating values DCG at c.40% more than current and that the divi of c.12% is , imo , as safe as can be.

For all those into minnows , might have swam too far out by now for some to catch.

.. not a bad market response to the RI , have just got out due to a jittery feeling I have about thanks giving week and the recent rally. Will look to be getting in if a corrrection presents itself.
