as you well know and i have made no secret of - some shares i buy and hold in a core holding pot and some money i used for more short term holds. as posted before (and i am working from memory but i did post at the time so can be checked) i last held from 27p to 36p i recall (approx dec to end of jan i recall). i then missed the rise from 32p to 48p as i put the cash into pmg & rkh (which are in both floating and long term pots). given the way they moved from early feb this was a good move! much of the short term pot is currently in cash (with the pmg &rkh profit shares moved into long term pot). there are a number of dynamics currently that make me cautious (oil price with the politics / summer deadzone are key), but of course hur is moving towards foil. for a few more reasons also i remain at the current time on the fence.
i will ignore your credibility comment, other than to note i got lots of abuse here on selling out in the 60's and then buying back several times each at a profit (as posted here). so you may be right that i have no credibility in your eyes, but i do have a nice return on capital deployed considerably in excess of a simple buy and hold strategy. as always each to there own and i am not criticising a buy and hold strategy in a good company. one thing i have learnt is always try to understand why a credible investor/ poster does not buy into a share i hold - what can they see that i can not?
