Had a look at MONI again today. Seems an interesting concept and looks all set for a good uptake in the future, but how does it make money? Is it paid a commission by the banks? or is it sold outright as a system. Certainly seems to be doing OK for you anyway. Sold all my loss makers this morning and put it all into FRES. They are down to 750p on the news from China, but the last production report was excellent and the results are due out in Feb, so, barring a major crash, I can only see a good upside. I was tempted to offload CSLT as well, but decided I may as well hang on for the results now. I am dissapointed with the performance though and have e-mailed the company to tell them so. Not had a reply yet.

..930p in October, and nearly there again in January... What a World, What a World!

Sentiment is not a good thing in the markets. I suffer the same thing with CSLT as you do with HAWK. To be honest James, think about how much you could have made with the money tied up and ask yourself, would you buy those shares today, knowing the history? I am clearing the decks of all my 'losers' at the moment and although I will end up with less than I paid, I will (hopefully) make it up over the coming months. I have learned a lot recently and now have a different approach. Sell the losers and ride the winners. I'm studying the art of reading charts properly and hope to improve my buying / selling skills, so that I buy at the right time and know when to sell. I must admit that CSLT is a prime example of how to get it wrong. Looking back, the signs were there, but all I could see was a 'good' company that was on hard times due to past mistakes. I assumed that the SP would improve without really understanding why it should. Had I looked a bit deeper, and studied the charts, I would have seen that further falls were coming. HAWK is a similar share. Why has it stayed at the same level for so long? What is going to make it rise? and when? Is the money going to stay tied up for weeks, months, years? I have certainly made mistakes but have also got it right now and then, by doing the work and understanding the companies. My biggest clangers have been tips from friends or buying on a whim. Not going to do that anymore. Oh well, Let's see what tomorrow brings. Got an eye on Spice and Noventa are looking good. Glaxo should do well this year with the increase in value of the $. Almost 40% of their earnings come from the States. 'Cor, don't I go on! Better get off now, Wife's just pulled up. Speak soon. Good luck on the medical front ! Nudge, Nudge.

Yeah.. I think it must be a buy at that price, although it wouldn't surprise me if it was a sell, given the 'dodgy deals' that have been done over the last few days. I think the time limit is 90 days. The T/O talks were announced on 13th Nov so if it was 60 days or less, it would have expired by now. Can't see it happening now anyway. I am feeling a bit nervous about this company. It all seems a bit 'iffy'.

Well... what a day ! Another of your 'Tin Hat' days for me, although I see MWA and CHAR did well, so at least you saw some gains. CSLT didn't do anything again... I'm wondering if the results are going to be as good as we hope. Let's hope tomorrow is better. I'm going back to the Russians for a while to make up some of my recent losses. Although the news from China isn't all that good, so I may wait a day or so. Definite signs of a downturn in the markets, let's hope it's only a pause for breath.

..Just seen the 1 mill sell at the bell. That's 1,700,000 sells today. Not happy!

This isn't going anywhere for a while. Lehman have another 5 million to offload and with the row in the boardroom, I'm thinking that it may be best to get out while there is still something left. All the talk is of the future, but the way DOO is going, I can't see one.

They did it again !! Put the bid up to 5.5p while someone sold 350,000, then dropped it again straight away ! Is that legal?

..Tick up for two days, any news anybody?

Panic over. RGT have placed 8.3m shares @ 1.5p, hence the drop. The cash is to fund further development of it's Alzeimers drug, Colostinin. Wouldn't bother buying in just yet, but still worth watching.

SPI down again today, can't see much in the way of an increase for a while, but worth watching. Another of my Small Pharma's is on the radar today. RGT has dropped 30% this morning and I can't find any reason, still looking and will let you know of anything. Certainly not a buy just yet, but something is happening. Have a look at the Kryso wabsite if you get chance. The resource is estimated at more than 2 million ounces and is cheap ($300) to extract.

One of your 'Tin Hat' days today I think. I'm going out and I may be some time.

.. and the 'Falklands Four' are all flying at the moment. My favourite, RKH is up almost 50% since I first mentioned them in December. Still a lot of room for profit though. Now why didn't I listen to myself !

... forgot to mention Noventa (NVTA). Are you still in there? They have had a few good news items recently and are on target to start producing Tantalum in March and then increase production and start to mine the ore later in the year. Certainly one I will be buying ASAP.

I'm awaiting funds to get into KYS. Truth is I'm a bit stretched with my other recent buys and am looking to sell something, but the ones I want to sell are refusing to rise to a reasonable sale price. I must get over this ' don't sell at a loss' thing. I may just sell everything and start again, but then in three months I'd be back in the same position. My best , most profitable period, was when I sold everything and only traded the 'Russians' on a High / Low basis. I actually made a good profit on every deal. Why did I let myself get distracted? I blame CSLT. For some reason I formed a 'bond' with them and now have an emotional tie which is the wrong thing. Maybe I should get rid of them as well. And the likes of DOO and HDY which I'm down on and should really get out of, but the 'recovery' potential is always there (sound familiar?) and, like you, I know if I do sell, they will start to rise seconds later. What a world, What a world.

Had another look at SPI as I hadn't realised that the SP was so low. Might be worth watching as the loss making bits seem to have been sold off and things should improve from now on, bit like CSLT really. Interestingly they are looking to expand the meter reading arm into the US which is a huge market. I'll keep an eye on it. Don't think Jarvis were doing anything mate, you did the right thing there. If you've got any spare funds, take a look at Kryso Resources(KYS). They've got the rights on the second largest Gold mine in Asia. Not producing yet, but a Banking Feasibilty Study is due to be published later this month and I think the SP will increase accordingly. SP is down a bit at the moment and it is a good buying opportunity.

I looked at SPI in September last year following a hike in SP. They looked promising and I was think about getting in but was tied up with CSLT's OO and also GFRD. Then the SP started to drop, and drop, and drop. At which point (December) I stopped watching. I know you like the Utilities, but I can't see much of an upside just yet. What is the attraction for you? You did a good thing getting into AKT & PYM - wish I had spare funds to follow you.

...happened again ! SP increased to 5.25p whilst someone sold 250.000 and then dropped immediately to 5.1p I think the FSA need to look at these 'dodgy deals'. Somebody is getting an unfair advatage.

.. we'll find out what was happening today in tomorrow's RNS. Seems like someones filling their boots at bargain prices.

...no-ones selling, so they'll need to offer more sooner or later!
