Good morning stepptoe - needed match sticks to keep my eyes open last night. The usual at this time of year. I remember you mentioning a partcular us stock to me somewhere. My broker does encourage it and even offers reduced commission rates from time to time but I've never been tempted beyond having a few dual listed stocks. You hear people say never put all your eggs in one basket but I have too many eggs at the moment and in a couple of cases the baskets are probably too small. It becomes difficult to monitor a pf like that so I am looking to rationalise it. Mind you, I did come across a plumber on these sites once who had shares in over 200 companies including us stocks. His posting style was short and to the point: I hold, I sold, I bought. I think I could take a leaf out of his book lol. I think you said here you traded a small amount and bought a bigger amount to hold with £1.12 being just around the corner. Hope so. Good luck.

I am not really in Dubai, I am still in Scotland, I was just trying to be facetious. I suppose you must have been a bit confused on Friday when I said I had been sticking up for you again as I mistook you for RBras. Goodnight

LOL I can't post to you right now as my ips in Dubai is preventing me from logging into my trading account and doing any trading. Hysterical cyber bullying over on advfn well at least you know they are not all Stepford Wives and chums from Friends Reunited which I start to suspect on these bbs when everybody is singing in perfect harmony and a bunch of brokers start hyping up every share under the sun except the one the bb is there to talk about. The Segway was fine. I was better doing the downhill that the uphill and had on the knee pads, wrist pads and elbow pads. A new Chief Executive I suppose needs time in post before before organising any interviews but I would like to hear what his vision for the future is in a bit of detail in a few weeks or so and yes a share purchase by him would be le mot juste. Well as somebody else used to post elsewhere on days like this when share prices all around are dropping like flies, cup was as steady as a rock today. Just back from a little festive soiree and feeling full of festive spirit, cheer and general bonhomie spread the luv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dRMGrlpCj0

Pity you hadn't borne that point in mind when you bought in here at nearly £9 recently lol - hoisted by your own petard you would have been. I take then that you don't hold anything longer than a day. And I'll take it that like tht you didn't hold tcg for the long-term. Sure you would have paid numerous visits to the bb if you had. You know the sort of thing - at sub 10p he said lol. Away with you.

LOL You are as humorous as ever. Well I don't read the newspapers as thoroughly as I used to either. I was in Glasgow last week and got 2 free of your favourite Cadbury's selection packs for buying both a Glasgow "Herald" and"Evening Times" from a street vendor though there's nothing to beat thorntons white imo. Supporting a young business this year by buying 5 festive floral arrangements but the worry will be how to keep them fresh - especially for the English visitor who is not due up until after Christmas. Provided they don't use red roses I think I'll be okay with just about anything else used at this time of year. ATB

Well I remember meeting you on the tcg bb exactly two years ago just now. Think the share price was in the lower teens at the time. No idea if you were still holding it when it hit the £1.70s last week but I know you didn't hold your tht bought possibly sub 10p that same winter - it hit the £1.30s last week. Some people would still say that holding long-term is the way to make real money but I am not knocking you for all your ins and outs either. I've done that along with you at various places such as stan. fres is not in my opinion as risky a share as either tcg or tht were at the time in question. Anyhow much shuffle along - certainly not a gardening day here today.

"PwC will report back to the RSA Board before the end of the year." That is not likely to mean between Christmas and New Year is it? Will it mean on or before Friday 20 December? Anyhow not long to wait either way.

Just gone to wrap up a couple of things for an early festive visit and think I did Historic Scotland a disservice. Looks like those calendars were 2 for £5 not 3 for £10. Great choice into the bargain and in a peculiar twist - they are not doing on-line but encouraging folk to visit the sites and buy in the shops. Talking of a fiver, at least you didn't go as low as bonker with your predictions here new kid on the block. Are ftse 100s becoming as hard a chesnut to crack as 250s I wonder.

Alas always scaffolding up when I visit Bothwell castle and got some of my calendars for folk there recently great value at 3 for £10. The walk from the castle to the Livingstone centre in Blantyre is nice but can be very challenging lol if you don't tread the beaten path lol not for grannies or granpas but great for young great aunts. Oldest of my nieces (only my junior by a decade) and grandnephew and grandniece live out that way. A myriad of articles out just now on miners and gold and silver producers in particular. Case of knowing which ones to give most credence to at any particular point in time - as always. Right must scoot and elbow all the pensioners out of my way at the shops lol

Sorry for mixing you up with rbrand. " Aiming for share movements in one direction is enough complexity for me." You and me both lol.

What no Santa rally! I'm not so sure. Not much colour on a visit to Threave recently but some nice holly wreaths in their shop.

I kind of disagree lol about nktob being full of doomsday predictions. He was quite positive on 21st November when (reading it well) grabbed some at sub £8.75. I think the he said posts ran out of popularity last year on the rrs bb but they brighten up these cold days along with winter flowring pansies so are really rather harmless.

Have you started to post on advfn now lol as there is a spottedlurcher has appeared on there. Well if I was a millionaire and didn't have to work too hard then I think I'd take it easy and start to enjoy Edgar Allan Poe and other things in life which is so short. I've had good fun this week and covered a fair bit of ground in Scotland. Tried out segwaying this week - shame it was raining but the protective helmet did the job. Think I'll change from my usual lol to your ha ha ha which is kinda seasonal with all these panto villains. Seriously though think you have entirely the right outlook in life and just think some folk don't have the temperament for shares and these bbs.

What a difference a week makes re. the hoc bb lol Goodinight all.

I think you've got it right incidentally not sticking your head above the bby parapet too often. The av. guys pride themselves on answering questions but I've asked a friendly Scot on there 2 questions and got no response so it makes you wonder what the point of these bbs is lol. Goodnight all.

My typing is too slow. Hasn't always known best at rio during the times I have been there. Who is/was jones minor premium member, I gather the poster tucson thinks it is samunj

I was originally from Glasgow and now in Ayrshire. In Edinburgh tonight. It's not the first time a police helicopter has crashed into a building up here. I was travelling back to my work one winter afternoon in Eastwood maybe 1990 and just missed a chopper hit a sheltered housing complex. The residents and the building were okay but the pilot didn't make it. The building had to be evacuated until building control declared it safe. I am not sure if anybody driving up the road at the time died but I missed it by minutes.

This isn't typical of the shares you normally like to invest in and I can't say I had you marked down as a Mirror reader. I wouldn't be too hard on londoncalling bonz, we all get things wrong from time to time. I remember you weren't too enthusisatic about tht's chances of recovery but to be fair to you, you didn't hang about the bb casting doom and gloom over the proceedings. Trust your pf is flourishing as always. atb

I used to wonder why you had shares in so many companies but confined your posting mainly to this bb. The av. bb operates much like this one and one of their posters thinks it's the best on lse. It is rather calm but a bit of an advertisement board for other shares some of the posters happen to be in - assuming anybody is actually reading the bb. And sometimes there seems to be too much unison about things which doesn't really reflect real life and a chartist who appeared recently was given a bit of a hard time. I know some folk like the quiet life but personally I am not sure I can understand why people would get too much from not posting on the actual bb other investors in the particular share inhabit - then again you can get precious little from the actual bb lol. I didn't even know until I started reading this bb that we were invested in so many of the same shares but maybe not always at the same time. There was the usual advice given to a poster this week about not putting all the eggs in one basket and, whilst that's sound, I do wonder if having shares in too many companies makes things difficult to monitor. I was surprised last year that you held on to the end with the retailer that went bust as it didn't really have much of a chance after the "likely to breach covenants" rns. Then again, I read what you lost and it was such a tiny sum that you either traded it very heavily or had a lot less in than me although our off bb pal NL indicated to me that you had loads in there lol. I suppose with all these drip and scrip divi things you do , you maybe do find yourself holding tiny amounts in certain things from time to time but I am sure even after your rationalisation programme you will still have shares in loads more companies than me.
