WE SOLD MOST OF OUR SHARES WHEN THE PRICE WAS VERY HIGH GIVING A GOOD PROFIT. WHAT WE HAVE LEFT IS JUST ADDITIONAL PROFIT. ONE OF THE FEW WE HAVE DONE VERY VERY WELL WITH. SO LET US KNOW WHAT THE POSITION IS WITH THE COMPANY NOW. HAVE THEY BEEN ALLOWED TO SELL GOLD AGAIN OR ARE THE NEAR BANKRUPT? DID WONDER ABOUT BUYING A FEW

JUST NOTICED THE PRICE, WE SOLD A LONG TIME AGO PERHAPS TIME TO BUY BACK IN AFTER AMEC SORTED. 400P WOULD CERTAINLY ATTRACT US. FAR FAR FAR MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS AT THE MOMENT SO WILL WAIT UNTIL IT SETTLES. SURPRISING HOW LOW COMPANIES GO WHEN THERE IS A BAD SMELL AROUND. AS SAID, BUY WHEN THE BLOOD IS FLOWING IN THE GUTTER. AT THE MOMENT ONLY A TRICKLE.

We got up to go to hospital this morning, which is a seven and a half hour return journey by bus, and saw irt was 78p, our sell price is 79p and decided to leave it while away at hospital and see what tomorrow brings. Juist looked and wondered if it put another 6p om but of course it had dropped 8p when we got back home at nine tonight. Lets see what tomorrow brings. think it will drop; as it did before and we will have a 6 months wait for it to get back. May just sell and be damned tomorrow.

TRUSTNET HAS THESE LISTED AS AN INVESTMENT TRUST BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE A PLC CAN SOME ONE ENLIGHTEN US AS WE ARE IN OUT LATE 70S AND A BIT LOST HERE.

We also have upgs at an higher price as well as this along with luce, dfx and bnn. wpp looks interesting now may sell a put option on it

This site even incorrectly reported a purchase of ours this morning when they said we sold FFWD when in fact we purchased them, and they get paid to do it. London Stock Exchange got it right. We do try and read other comments as you do pick up the odd gem here and there. Some of yours are interesting when, unlike the one you wrote prior to the one of ours where you asked us to check ours posts before sending, you also made a spelling mistake. A lot of posts have errors in them. So we are not alone. Sorry have to go there is a man in a white coat at the door!!!

Who is this MacDonnell you are having a knock at? We have an excuse as we are nearly 80 and feeble minded ( To prove it we bought these shares!!) We never mind people having a go at us as it means they are not having a go at some poor sod who is not so thick skinned. Plus the laptops do not enter what we are thinking. However if you read them all you would see the laptop corrected itself just after with 65p Then on to 120p is our feeling (or hope), maybe even this year. At least you read the comments.. After all these comments by most people are their hopes and most are positive that is why they buy shares.

This goes up and another boggy also heads up Accrol, only need BNN to be back in the market now.

The market maker must have them all or expects the share to drop.Otherwise bad news for the MM if they shoot up. Once one moves then our other bogies follow: ie DFX who gave us 1 for 3 at 8p and now 24p then hopefully BNN will make the hat trick. Do not believe all the trades reported on here. We bought shares at 17.12p in FFWD 08.35am and it was reported as a sale at 16.5p on here. THe London stock exchange had the price listed correctly. They are more reliable but do not state buy or sell.

then upwards

Then it will go up, as the good news arrives

After 45 yrs investing we have rarely made fast profits, but it has been done. Not so many times as we have made fast losses though. Even when we buy stock that has dropped a lot and steadies for a week or so, we buy then next day another big drop. A lot of big increases have only come after big falls. You have to have a very very wide spread of stocks in all sectors. and after a few yrs you should show a good profit. We have reverted back to Investment trusts, buying those 40-50 trusts with good proven 3 and 5 yr records and a wide spread of sectors and countries. This gives a really wide range where a big faller is more than covered by steady risers. Yes you do miss the very big success which at the time makes you forget the big losers, but the big loser is still there. IT warrants made us a lot of money 40 yrs ago but they have stopped issuing them with new floats. They acted a bit like spread betting but safer.

Our purchase is reported correctly on the London Stock exchange

We note our purchase of 5200 shares at 8.35 at 17.12p is recorded as a sale at 16.5p. Not sure what is happening

Now why did we not sell at 20 odd pence and buy back when it is 8p again. Is it something to do with hindsight?

If it goes back to 9p then we will buy again

It surprises me that some people are willing to sell their stock at 17p after seeing it keep going up to the 20s.and it will go further, unless they paid 10p and have taken their 1/3rd allocation up at 8p giving them a sort term approximate 100% profit. However if you have paid a lot more, in some cases over a �1 for the shares it would pay them to be patient and wait. It would be better if you sell and want. as a guide say 40p then put them in your dealers hands to go at 40p when that price is reached. If every one stipulated the price they will sell at with so few available then there may be a reasonable quick increase in the price. This of course will not happen, but it would be interesting to see what did happen if holders of the stock who wish to sell did stipulate a much higher price, would it go up quickly or just stagnate .either way the holders of the stock probably would not lose. Not sure what the position is with the company who wants the stock but will not make an offer. Can they still scoop up shares at the 20p they are now? as this is a most unusual situation and not one we have come across in our 45+ years of holding shares, as far as we can remember, but then it may have done.. Got to the stage now where we are just selling our stocks and buying investment trusts covering all sectors and countries, then instead of adding new stock to our portfolio just increasing the IT holdings. Age in the end gets you and you find it too much of a hassle each day to look for bargains etc.
