The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
m....building today. Half time watching market, half time building. The other day I noticed that the rot I knew about in garage corner post was much worse than I had originally thought. It is a 2 storey affair (room for 2 Teslas) with 2 rooms above so quite heavy. Chocked it up a bit yesterday and removed the rotten posts and wallplate, spent £16 on treated timber and now have new wallplate in place, 2 4x4 posts to cut and fit today.
Sold last of my PLUS (AT A LOSS) to reinvest (I mean gamble) the money on CINE which I bought at 93p
Good mid morning Brigands.
A very late start for me, only just switched computer on. Well, I had a lucky escape, if I had some spare cash yesterday I would have bought CINE, still haven't got spare cash and now they are down another 10%!
o...I see TTG are coming to life, I could take a profit there and spend it on CINE. Ummmm, my stategy lately is pants, so perhaps not.
Good morig Brigands.
T...It's my habit to check my shares for RNSs at 7.10 each morning, a good one, or more, is reason to get up early.
This one from NCYT is good but I don't expect to help the share price much. A big order RNS from this or foreign governments are the oes that seem to really drive the NCYT share price. But hey, I'll take anything!
Good luck all today. I am taking OH (a non driver) to the dentist later.
Good morning Brigands,
T....yes indeedy, market not looking good today. Starting to wish I hadn't got up. Forecast here is for a nice sunny day today before a week or so of rain...must take the opportunity to do some outside stuff. Trouble is, I have to attend a meeting to do with our village archive, why do I get involved with these things? I am also currently updating the burial records (fascinating) for our churchyard, building a spreadsheet and updating the plan of the graveyard. Maybe a stiff coffee will help.
C...yes still in pfc. 2tranches about 100p and 96p still confident of a return to 120+. Ha.
Natgrid? I will hold for the Divi.
Happy to sell PLUS today, well, those that were in my ordinary trading account, I'll withdraw the cash to fund my and OH ISAs.
I was itching to sell HEMO today at +26% profit but holding for more.... could turn into egg on chin. Trying to break my spell of bad luck.
o...yes, agree about France going to the dogs, seems to be a general lack of commited leadership and yes, it could be just the climate for the right wing to ascend. Saga have come too far too fast.
G...Think I made a mistake buying IAG, of all the recovery stocks, I think GRG, JDW and CINE will recover quicker than CCL, SAGA, TUI, EZJ, IAG. I must stop putting undue emphasis on non-stampy shares. Here I am holding TUI and IAG, whoops!
Yes, I know, they will come good in time but I call myself a day trader.
C....when I had my jab, they were making people wait 15 mins afterwards before leaving "in case of reaction"...sounds like they couldn't wait to get rid of you! LOL.
C...well done making a profit on PLUS. 2% isn't at all bad over a few days. I made my 2% but over 5 weeks!
o...yes, subscribed for Parsley Box last night (my god, the PrimaryBid app is terrible). On balance I guess I am regretting it but my investment is half what I would normally stump up..a "half hearted" affair!
R...yes, I was very lucky with ODX, trouble is, I didn't sell earlier, had plenty of offers at 95 and I got greedy thinking they ought to be 105-110p. Ha.
V....wake up and smell the coffee, no, it's not coffee it's PLUS coming to life. I have sold two thirds of mine.
Good morning Brigands.
T...yes, it's true that if/when i come to sell NCYT/GGP/SNG my percentage profit at point of sale will shoot up (and portfolio value will stay the same as I move momentarily from share value to cash!). Portfolio value is the metric that counts at the end of the day. I am beginning to think my weekly target efforts are pure window dressing.
o....Thanks for thoughts on Parsley Box, I am a little skeptical, hoping for a quick in and out profit.
Good luck all today.
C...your portfolio net loss this week is comparable to the FTSE loss so, not too bad.
My portfolio improved over the week by 2.3%, mainly due to slight recovery in NCYT.
However, as previously headlined, I missed my target by a whopping 760%.
Not certain what it all means anymore, thinking about giving up this "day job".
Bought QFI, ODX and PFC on friday, Today I have subscribed to the Parsley Box IPO.
QFI is an interesting one, Quadrise fuels have a additive that makes normal bunker fuel into a much greener and more efficient fuel. Starting to get wider acceptance. Getting my info from a captain I know who is using it. I made a little on a previous investment in QFI. Not intending to promote them.
T...I had a look at the Swazers charts. I'm getting a bit cynical and disillusioned with chart predictions but hey, I would be over the moon if NCYT got anywhere near 2000p before I croak. I would have to put in a special multiple Tesla order, a few of each model perhaps! LOL. Just as well I opened the Rioja yesterday.
Enjoy the rugby, think of me treating my front gates.
C...jolly well done on the chess win, this time next year Deep Purple?
Haven't run the figures yet but my weekly target is massively missed for first time this year but, BUT, value of portfolio is up this week, mainly because NCYT has woken up a bit. Just shows how carp is my performance monitoring.
V, G, T, o, m, C and R (where is R?) and anyone I've missed, have a jolly good weekend.
