The mistake I made was waiting too long. I watched these a while ago at 8p and thought, hmmm. But I hmmed for too long to my own detriment. On several occasions, my 'share nose' has sniffed out some risers, and each time I held back. IE T.W and Tanfield. Had the cash but shyed away through 'nerves', now look. I am Holding DISL for next spring, AFE for an eternity, PPA for the same time, and now these. I just hope that 12 months from now I can be laughing all the way to the bank, just like the 'Bankers' with our money. If you look up to the top of the HSBC building, etc, you can see the party poppers and Champers corks flying out of the windows. GL to all who hold.

You have obviously been here a while and probably read this, however for those that haven't, you can scan this if it helps. http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/China-Biodiesel-International-Holding-Co-LTD-Financial-and-Strategic-Analysis-Review.html

Hi there! Been watching this for sometime so just bought a few hundred pounds worth. Seen some reports on this but cannot see why the rises are so consistant, what do you know? In at 16.19. I would have assumed that this share would encourage more posts, and is rather sparse with comments. Any predictions?

I have just bought a miserly £200. worth at the expense of some AFE losses. NOW, pound to a penny, these will drop, so apologies in advance. If it works, it will offset the other loss.

Watch for the winter slump, though. However, everything is in order with this company now as far as footing is concerned. You may well find that it won't drop much now anyway, so I think this is a good buy now. If it remains at 1-2p, this will rise significantly on a good RNS and I want to be here to catch it. I have a little note that suggests that the 31st August is a date that they release some results as to how things are panning out. Anyone know whether this is so or I have made it up? I may just buy back now and see what happens.

Everything I sell goes in the opposite direction when I move on, like upwards, sickening! then when I buy a new share, they go down! I need to have about 6 on the go with say, a grand in each, then I can 'relax'. What I won't do is raid my BS account to fund short term possibilities because the money needs to be available at it's current figure. If I Invest and need a lump sum, the chances are when I get to remove the stock, it wll be worth less than when I started, but that is often the way it goes here. Because everything is on a general 'low' at the moment, it's a good time to place yer bets and play the waiting game. I am pretty sure I know which one's will work, but it's risking my business working Capital and as money is hard to come by, I'm not brave enough (or daft enough) to take the plunge. If it all goes belly up, so might this business, so I play the game with a high degree of caution Don't want to end up in a dole queue! Chat again somewhere on site. Have a good weekend if I don't get back here tomorrow. Got some catching up to do now and a 'new' CRT Monitor means I can get on with some photo work. LCD is useless for printing!

Hi James, glad ou made a bit on GKP. On my share front, not a lot is happening, but I see here that there is a good rise, so we can see the potential, even without much news (although I haven't read anything yet about these). Can't punt any more otherwise I would in with a few others like China Bio, ACU and here again, but sadly, the funds have dried up now, so I have to make do whilst all the others I would have gone into rise before my very eyes. How frustrating is that? It is possible that if a shed a few that I can recoup the loss shoud this rise again, if I do that, these will drop back and make me worse off, so best I hang on to what I have. I will let you know. May be £100 of these on the next drop, but that's all. I will take a peep at JPR. Easy to remember as J.P Richardson was the name of the Big Bopper, if you're into Rock & Roll! GL with your future choices. Chris.

Hi James, as you will see, my Devon week was a bit soggy, so hopefully, my Sept. week in the tent will be better. If it chucks it down then, well at least I can take refuge in a pub or three. Not too worried so long as my tent doesn't leak or one of the sections splinter (again) with the stress of the wind. I don't mind, which ever name you prefer. May be another Chris here, but Photomic will do. 1962 is not important. Back to the grind again, but I always find that if you take a week or so off, it takes a week to get into 'work mode'. Being self employed, I go at my own pace, so as long as you control your work load, you can control how hard you work and keep the 'stress' levels down! They say that hard work never hurt anyone, but I bet it sure killed a few! Hope all ok with you?

Hi KIKI Pho' here! Hope you had a good hol, and som Sun. I got a battering in Devon, but some nice days too. Glad I wasn't camping. I would buy these before the end of this year for the Spring Rise (or earlier) but I have to short sell to get these as my stash has run out! For now, these guys are on a reasonably safe bet and will proabably head the same way as JJB IMO of course! I don't think they are going to rise yet until the next RNS come out with their last 1/4's performance, if it shows promising results.

Yes, seen that. I'm still hanging about being nosey here, just to see what's going on. Even that news has barely produced a burp in this SP. I'm not finished with this share yet, so after Xmas I may buy some for the spring, but not more than a couple of hundred quids worth. It's still down to AFE to perform so that I can release some capital.

Hi. Not much going on here yet. We have all read the recent news, but this share won't be going anywhere much this year (probably). If it does (this year), the best you may get is 3p. Whilst I don't advise, if it were my money, buy in at the end of season at less than 0.015, and exercise a LOT of patience. Sit on them until middle of next year to see if they succeed. By June/July, you will know which way these will head (and on RNS reports). If I had to guess, and things go, not well but OK, you may get between 5-8p by this time next year IMO. GL

Have a look at my post on Photo-me. As this is a similar line of business to my own, when AFE makes me something, or breaks even, I think this could the best bet yet for a the longer punt. Heard about the weather front your way, but up in Surrey, we may just catch the edge. Baking here, and it's keeping the customers away. Can't sell AFE yet, as I'm too much down. It did a bounce of sorts, but before the RNS, then it went the other way. One of the guys there suggested a caution, but most of us fell foul of our deluded whims!

Looks like it! I'm just passin' through. It is possible that this company will get considerably more business in 2011 when the new Digital finger printing passport service in put into operation. Lots of machines will be ordered assuming they have access to this FP Technology. Instalations will be everywhere and removal of the old machines (maybe) will happen. It is also possible the the new FP machines will have both systems built in, because photo's will still be required for other applications. IMO, this will be worth a packet later on and if you are patient with this share. Big supermarkets will have them in place, and you know how many of those there are! It is probably the best time to buy these shares, sit on them and wait.

Need the dryer for speed and convenience, but leaving the gear in the car with all the windows closed does the trick, all bar the misting! probably get broken into by an Asylum seeker and half-inch all my 'Blue Harbour' Polo shirts! LoL

Hi James. Yes, seem to recall we mentioned this and the Jack Rusell sometime ago, but can never remember which site or who I chatted with!! We go to the Isle of Wight in March and October for a long weekend break, and the place we like is Gurnard Pines, they have large semi-detached 2 and 3 bed bugalows there, an Indoor pool (82 degrees warm, and it's just a few minutes from Cowes. As I live at Littlehampton, it's only a 40 minute drive to Portsmouth. Look it up on the Web. Out of season, you don't get so many kids there, unless you like kids....(I couldn't eat a whole one!!). Sandra & I got a weekend after haggling for £125, two nights, so per head, that's good. Prices vary and it depends how good their business is as to the deal you may get. It's not a Butlins type place, but a more sedate 'come and go as you please' place. Great Gym there too, but I don't use it, just the pool. Off early now as got to be home by 2pm as I'm having a new tumble dryer delivered from Comet! Bye for now. C.

Thanks James, we both need a bit of good fortune. My retail business is sticky at present, but got enough funds to see me through for a while yet. Tax Office owes me £6K in overpaid VAT, can I get it? No way! legalised theft. If AFE works, then any profit will be redistributed between LPX, here and PPA although not quite sure about PPA. Would love TW for longer term but cannot stretch funds to cover. My Abbey (Santander or San Dan Dare!) Have quite a bit tucked away, but I am not raiding it just in case of business needs. Another grand out could be £500 lost on speculation, so I have to be careful for a while, even though a possible return is better than 0.00002%! It's the fun of the gamble but not so as to do one's self down. Sensible punting is vital. I'm off to sunny Sth. Devon on 11th - 18th to the 'Log' at California Cross. Hope I don't drive the other half mad looking for internet cafe's LoL. GL for the duration. Around for a while at JSP, PPA and here to see 'What's Occuring' but won't say much on AFE as I don't know what I'm talking about, so I will keep quite for fear of ridicule and Mickey take!! (wrteched PC seems to eat letters on pressing the space bar then drags the sentance in front, backwards!) Oh well.

A lot going on for you, James. I allowed myself £2K to tinker with. Got a few hundred from Jsp sometime ago as I may have mentioned a time back and took £100 from AFE just in case of a drop, which happened. Overall, I am in profit, taking JSP into account, but it's not much. I have to wait for ages now in order to make it come good for me. Penny shares are hard work, and until you get going and gain experience, it's easy to become disillusioned with such shares and It's rare you get 'easy money' trading them. I am one of the many that may well think (and still do), that if a penny share comes to fruition,.........no more mortgage! You end up topping up and spending a couple of thou' on a 1p share, and just when you think it's going to go up, it goes to half and stays there. Several of the shares I have been in have all produced results........AFTER I got fed up and bought elsewhere! Often, losing out is the buyers fault for not excercising sufficient patience. I fall into that catogery! It's the old 'In a few weeks, I will double my money" usually wrong! But, you have to be in it to win it, but what I tend not to do is spend just a little bit more, then a little more, then trouble!! GL for the long term. Chris

It could be, not sure. Have to follow your gut feel here bearing in mind what retail is like and will be like for most of the year. VERY long term should be ok with patience, unliken that pesky Eagle that keeps doing taxiing trials but won't take off! I'm pretty Pi55sed off with Mark Parker and the MM's that seem to have got the better of us.

Hi James?Kiki. Nope not doing well! I opted to come back here later after PPA got me 1p per share. AFE is my big holding with yet anohter disappointment for all involved. It appeared to be a rooze Rouse (can't spell it!) by the MD's to bump the share price up and then crashed to under 7p. Was gutted, need to get £400 back to break even so I have little choice then to stay with AFE: I sold my Lipoxen shares for AFE too! Considering Swine Flu is on the up, I would have thought their shares would have also been up. Swine Flu is far worse than people think, whilst I won't mention regions, it is ALLEGED that it's all being kept hush-hush to prevent panic. I heard this second hand via a Nurse but I didn't speak to her. Anyway, with regard to JJB, far more takers for that sort of gear than Camping. The purchase of sports equipment is an all year round thing (Gym's and indoor activities) and money will be coming in most of the time. With DISL, it's very seasonal, peaking from June to August, then flat. It won't be another JJB so the best you could hope for (IMO) is a few pence by this time next year 8p ish if yer lucky! A bad summer in 2010 would cock the whole thing up, so any results that are forth coming to push the shares up here, will have to happen from now until mid summer or so. The only time I would buy these for now is a month before the next company performance RNS. A grand in may get 2 grand out at present rate, (IF they do ok). Beat that in a BS or Bank!

If you look at AFE posts, it appears that fro what I read, that the slightly longer term is good. Time to buy in in you consider it a medium to high risk, IMO. Still awaiting news on PPA.
