T, that did perk my interest OCDO being on Primary Bid.
I didn't follow it up, partly as i hold M&S so have a bit going on to do with OCDO anyway.
But largely as I just didn't get to it.
I've found with PB that you can generally buy shares after there offer for something similar, which for means I can get in my ISA where all my money is, plus share allocation not in hands of PB and so often reduced.
Did anyone get any, and how did they do it?

Yep, weather is good, flaming June my mum used to say.
Not much going on, thought about shopping some shares earlier then held back.
Then just decided to buy some SDY which I hold, and so can average down a little.
Then in a buying frenzy bought some THG as a wild shot in the dark.
How about all you others what's new?

Was everyone scared to post on page 666, or are you all running out of things to say. We should all be fearful, so should we be buying. That's my plan, £1000 a day for the next few days in my hardest hit shares, already held. Will eat into my savings, but just pulled a bit out of pension, only £10k, blimey where did I learn to say only £10k. Then it gets taxed, still will last me 8.5 days maybe. Bought some BVC today and some Phillips. See what tomorrow brings, am working so will have to try and keep an eye on things in spare moments. Maybe I will buy some Xiaomi overnight, but I think not, lets wait till tomorrow.
Heard on radio some traders think we are seeing similar trends to beginning of 2008 collapse so need be cautious.
Best wishes and hope you are all doing okay in these difficult times.

Hi everyone, goodish day for markets today and for us poor pensioners, good old Fishi and Bodger! Nicked nicknames from LBC's Nick Abbot but quite fitting. It's partly all this partygate hassle that has given them the "conscience" to look after us little people. So really it has all been for the good I'll vote for Bodger again (I won't and never did....just joking)!
Sold the VTY I bought a week or two back for £100 profit, I will make a day trader yet (give or take week or so).
O, that was a good call on MKS, I should have had a short term dip in them, I was nearly at that point and then forgot, idiot! I hold a few anyway so the rise has been good, though I think I am still a little bit down overall on them.
Good luck for rest of week, only tomorrow, we'll see what that brings.
Monaco GP this weekend always quite exciting if processional!

Been quite a good recovery these last few days. The shares I dribbled in are all positive, some not a lot, and some quite good. I now have to decide do I sell and make a small amount or keep for a better return, maybe!
I did get a small amount of HOC on Friday but too small to have made much more than a tenner so far, ANTO done okay showing £72 profit, big time stuff hey!
I just picked shares out I already have in my long term p/f and so can keep in that or sell (and buy). I kind of picked okay shares but could have done a lot better with quite a few, still a little profit right now is okay by me.
Hope you are all okay, nice day here today in Oxon.

Hello you all. Have been busy and fed up with things lately. Plus have not been feeling my best, from heart problems or maybe this MDS I have with blood. Anyway today is a good day, have been of work most of week and rest has done some good. Maybe I should just pack the working in and concentrate on my health and shares.
So this last few days have been taking a chance we are on some lows and bought LSEG, VTY, and ANTO. Might get some HOC tomorrow, am kind of drip feeding my way in to some short term and smallish sort of day trades but will likely be week trades, even weak trades knowing me.
My portfolios have held up reasonably well though down quite some bit just lately. In a way I am surprised with so much wrong in the world, Ukraine, Inflation, China Covid, probable shot consumer confidence with cost of living hikes, not got stuffed more.

Hello everyone, hope you are all well. Nice to see you back CSDI.
I have not been doing any trading hardly at all since this last month or two.
Done some top ups on ii free regular trading and that's about it.
Anyway today I bought a few RMG which I already hold and have sold quite a lot at better prices than today.
Had a delivery from them today actually early and my IC regular subscription is getting back to being almost on time.
So I am a bit more optimistic with them than I have been.
N I do still hold Yellow Cake which continues to do well I am about 65% up at minute only had £2.5k worth but am hanging on to them for now!
Not much news elsewise (haven't used that word forever....if it is a word) computer seems unsure still I am going with it!
Best wishes and luck to you all.

Well hello everyone, it's me? n that is. have been a bit busy and also not really feeling like posting much. Anyway decided I ought say something. Am back teaching older school children motor vehicle stuff, 3 days a week traveling to Slough which is a pain, the works pays well though so worth it. Sold a few shares 2 3 weeks back, not entire holdings just trimming a bit of, top slicing I think it's called. So have bought most of them back now. Also back in BVC which I sold out some time back, when I felt the Covid testing was going to peter out. They also do telecoms and other medical which is now probably enough to make them value for money without the C19 tests. We'll see, am already 11% up, but am hoping for more. Surprisingly I don't have much more to say after not saying anything for some time. So will will wish you all the best and maybe post a little more often in future, n

O, as for gathering information abut investments, I pretty much get that from everywhere. I do at the moment subscribe to IC but that is just a passing fad. I have used FT, use internet, radio, any kind of news here and there. I sometimes see things (products) or hear things that impress me, then I look at what is behind them. I am not at all a day trader, hopefully that admission will not have me being called to resign from the brigade. I really cannot think how generally i would pick out stuff for that although I picked Hut Group recently just on why should it drop so much and it worked out. But I could have picked it many times before and not done so well. I tend to day trade on back of my portfolios, but only rarely, that works okay. I get ideas from here LSE and the Brigade. I kind of think you are so astute O that you already know most of this. Like you I might have took Stockopedia, but never did, I think I just felt I trust my own instinct and judgement as much (not more) and it costs less (hopefully). It would have only been another maybe idea platform for me. Not suggesting I hope this helps but you by the look of your comments should trust your own judgement, but as we all should never get carried away. I do look at RNS's and try and interpret accounts, not sure this works, but it can warn you off. I often borrowing from CSDI using the idea of acronyms DDMYOR, don't do my own research, but JDI just dive in! IWSO, its worked so far! I sign off with DINMW, I want you all to work that out?
I don't actually it's do I need more wine, clearly not!

Hello everyone and happy New Year!
I have had a fairly good day with BAN.MI and Philips doing well in Europe and AMD and Intel in US, plus Xiaomi improvng slightly overnight on HSI. Only Puma losing a little but it was a very little.
I looked just now and thought that bodes well for tomorrow and UK markets, but looking at indexes picture not so good as only DAX and CAC up.
So what will first days trading of 2022 bring? Still could be good as the omicron is looking less virulent and past it's peak in London at least. Work absences may balance that out, we'll have to see.
Good luck all, n

S, I think in my memory Strombergs had a diaphragm in them which pulled the mixture/choke needle up and down so you would need be careful with heat. Sometimes you can use salty water to free up rusty things not sure it would apply in this case, but it works surprisingly well in the right circumstances (I used it first on exhaust brakes... where everything was ferrous maybe aluminum would not tolerate so well). I will think if I can make any other suggestions, a good soaking in something might be the answer.

Hello everyone, I am just popping by to wish you all a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year and the best for 2022.
It has been a tough year for me and many others too.
One bright spot in my year has been happening across this brigade, you are a proper good bunch, so thank you,
Nezlob

O, I see today that N91 is doing pretty good, I know you are long gone out of, but thought you might harbour an interest? Also INVP doing okay. I am wondering is their improvement might be based on South African connections and covid optimism. This is purely a Blue Cow type "I wonder".

Blimey BOO has fallen from grace. I remember when all my shares were sold at 206 as a stop loss. I was a bit aggrieved at the time as I could have sold at about 250 and then they went back up to above even that. I consoled myself with the fact they were getting to be shown as a pretty unethical bunch that I might prefer not to be invested in, despite the profitability. I always felt all the bad stuff would catch up with them but didn't really expect them to go below a £1.
For all you fashionista's here (admit it)I have money in Puma which is static at mo. and in Basic net which is BAN on Milan, pretty cool. The BAN shares have been doing pretty well, not sure where might peter out. Got them because of Superga as they are nice and Kate shops them, and maybe even Kappa being sports brand underdogs. They are ethical boys too.
S am interested in Citroen TA tales and Amazon stuff as long as Volvo not Jeff, I would look well cool in some Superga's in a Citroen Traction. Wot a fashionista who still says cool, wheres he from, bare nowhere.

CPI having a bit of a crash, wasn't someone else in them beyond silly me?

Morning everyone, F1 and Boris, these are dangerous areas.
Still I was a bit upset by Lewis losing out in such a way, but it is done and you cannot argue with Max's ability and almost as deserving of winning the title. Lets leave it now. The Saudi bickering was already enough for me.
Johnson, well I'm not even starting on him!
Might get back into THG if it gets below 180, might get a bunch of TWD if it doesn't, will wait and see.
Good day everyone.

Morning, pretty nice day here in south Oxon land.
I want to point out my daughter is actually working and earning a living, when I said she isn't actually "out earning" the emphasis was on the out, she's working from home. She's actually doing 1st month of a graduate placing of 3 months at Thomson Reuters, if she can land that permanently she will be made up! So will I as she can pay for the boiler.
O, I like the birth pun or was it a kind of Freudian?

No wonder PM can't remember parties, having a daughter today after PMQ yesterday that's proper pressure. We lot are lucky we only have the covid to worry about, no need for parties. Lucky my daughter done with university and now out earning (course she isn't out earning, she's holed up in my London flat messing up the central heating boiler). Lost my little job when I was off for my mums funeral etc., not quite as bad as it sounds as I was saying all along I didn't want it permanently, but wouldn't have minded for a little while longer. Still have some new well paying work lined up in January, so I can pay for my share dealing **** ups. Sold some THG I bought on Manday, how close is that to day trading, for me very! Sold some INVP as a bit of a hedge against market fall. Might sell some more stuff tomorrow will see. Have been missing you all a bit, but still not clear headed. Hope you all are and trading well etc.,

Hey, I am thinking I will come back into the brigade next week after a period of I dunno what, but anyway here I start.
Welcome back m and S and even T, nice you are here TD. I have been half keeping up with things but have now forgotten most of it. Lot's of ups and downs with my shares of late, though they be mostly down today. AMD has done great. Sold some INVP I did as a sort of day trade, my sort of day trade being buy and wait, a day, a week, a month and maybe more, it's usually or more till I get a profit I am happy with. My only share up today that I can maybe sell on Monday is Croda, I might just do that. The last bit in the time of Covid the market did a fair bit of dithering before eventually crashing big time, will it again. I don't know, will see but maybe I will begin a bit of belated hedging. It's a funny thing thing I now lose more in a day like today (since I started this shares trading biz) than I might have dreamt of having 30 years back. I don't think I treat it as "SO WOT" but it is just how it is! What will happen next week? Nezlob te se you lot!

Lost my mum last week after the last 5 years here caring for her.
I am so sad, and my wife is lost w as her life this last 5 years has been constantly looking after mum.
Wouldn't change the fact we've been here and careing but it is tough, tougher than you ever imagine.
