Looks like VLS news was priced in. Spiked 35% 17-18p on the day, when I failed to sell, and finished only marginally up at 2% 14p. I boght at 9.7p and sold at 50% profit`15.6p, having let 80% slip through my fingers. Selling is so hard to get right. Rolled all into FDBK. Another Riddler stock. Looks a bit risky. May sell on any small gain and wait for next one. I wish I'd left some £ in ARS. Looks like one of those that will just keep on climbing...

Big VLS news has arrived and it's v positive. Try and get in early if you can?

I'm with HL too. It's easy you just need to get the columns to match up and the copy over the formatting only - took about 20min to get all HL data into threeputt's template. 3p, HL will let you go back to day1 you joined them but it'll only allow you to download 12m at a time!

Confession: I gave up on chromebook / google sheets and used work laptop which has xl!

Just fwd to you, nog.

3putt your xl spreadsheet is awesome. I downloaded all transaction data from both SIPPs since 2014 and formatted it and plugged it into the SS. It's allowed me to analyse my heinous errors and lucky breaks. One things for certain, since reading Cam and NFL's threads things have changed for the better. Self selecting stocks has led to dire results. SIPP 15% down overall. Biggest winners have all come in the past year: ARS, TYM, INFA. Biggest losers: RLD, BZT. CASP. Def turned a corner. Goal now is to get back to break even. Some new rules. Keep positions relatively small at first i.e. don't risk too much capital (will reduce NCCL exposure tomo as it's crept up). Sell everything on a spike, don't fall in love with them as it's likely to retrace at least 50%. Trade the volatility. I could've made a small fortune trading CLP this past 12-18months. If you have a bad feeling, trust instinct and get out.

CLP RNS looks good

IQE is my biggest regret (getting bigger) sold around 16p. It recently hit 180p. Also selling UKOG at 0.8p was an epic fail on my part, immediately went to 9p.

Threeputt, thanks a lot fur the xl will be using from now on. FYI as I'm using Android device I converted xl to google sheets and thought you might be interested to know they have a spreadsheet function called =GOOGLEFINANCE which will pull in ticker price data every 2mins which I thought could help you automate your current balance data Bev, some meaty buys going in. Just need to hang in there. Cam, where do you stand on CLNR now Algy has moved from CEO to Chairman plus contracting company to find farm out partner? I'm getting nervous. Also do you think TYM goes aub 1.2? CLP def right call to sell recent spike as predictably back down to .7s and briefly .6s today.

3putt, thanks appreciate it. I will take look tonight! Not sure whether ppl following, but NCCL haven't released an RNS to say "extension needed" before receiving bids from GE/CMEC, which means bids from GE have been received and we're all just waiting to see what they are like but sp steady around 5.5p which is now my average. I haven't been in a position like this before where no RNS is good news, bids on major project are in from comp of GE's size. Now just waiting to find out what the bids are. No previous experience so downside seems minimal. Not a rhetorical question here 'what could go wrong?!' ISA 'bout to find out!

3putt, thanks mate. I'm am an amateur excellist at best. Pivots are beyond me it's 18nortagem at gmail.com NCCL and VLS are all looking primed. VLS up 30% over past couple weeks awaiting news on some US Subsidies which look like they're on track. Abramovic likes this one.

LOL

I've been trading NCCL for nearly a year and I am struggling to work out whether I am up or down after all the trades (buys and sells in different amounts at different times at different prices)? Can anyone help with a link to excel spreadsheet etc.

Everything is green in my portfolio today, so I'm feeling pretty good. Doubled NCCL holding (like a fool?) on no-news-is-good-news story. VLS up 12% which is pleasing - hopefully a recovery due there. Sledging with Silky the Fairy and her mini sidekick the Angry Pixie tomorrow methinks #worldbookday #snowday #poetsday

Cam, do you ever keep track of those ones you like but sold out of as nothing happens short term? On recent evidence you may be better off leaving part of your holding instead of selling out completely. BOR has gone from 1.8 to 5.7 in about 3months.

you're right. i said i'd do that and i was stalling...just managed a quick sell before the bell at 0.9 sold the 100k i bought at 0.6 the other day, so 50% profit.

Sold INFA for small loss. Whenever it has dipped like this, below what you thought was the bottom, it's followed by a placing at a lower level. Did it at 40 and 30.. too risky.

CLP - do you think it'll actually rerate over coming days as thsoe are solid figures that one can take into account when determining nav OR do you think spike today and then drop back again? I am looking to derisk this one by removing capital like TYM. INFA - what about Wale? Are your mates going cold on it? TYM - Price continues to slide, but I buy the long-term story and derisked, so not too fussed. NCCL - another delay perhaps, but looking v positive? DOW - Good luck you guys. I am still completely unqualified to short the DOW! :) BB - you a millioniare yet?

Annoying to miss out, but another green tick, Cam.

This is getting infactious... I'll get me coat
