The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Well done V...looks like you have become a self appoited adjutant.
I was frightened to do it but have gone through my trading records for the last tax year, I had to do most of it twice as I didn't believe first answer but it came out the same. I have improved my portfolio by 50.3% in the 20/21 tax year.
I am exceedingly happy with that considering the numbers involved. However, NCYT fall this week has "cost" me about 20% of the actual profit figure if you see what I mean.
Oh dear, what a week, think I should give up this malarkey. I don't even seem to be having my average amout of luck.
Won't mention NCYT but will mention other losers I have including 88E and now ARB down to 215 (who said you can't trade them). One bright spot is Parsley Box, they are back to their IPO price of 200p. Ha.
Got some hard thinking to do over the weekend, also want to do my profit(loss) for the last tax year.
For what it's worth, I made more than my old target again this week and a quick glance at my portfolio indicates 10% down on the week...not too bad considering.
Have to decide whether I deserve some Rioja tonight, don't think I do but on the other hand, I need it.
Hope others had a goodish week....have a good weekend all.
Oh dear oh dear, finished second coat on garage door, sat down for a snooze, thought I would check a few prices before lunch and discovered NCYT collapsed somewhat. I am still in profit there but only just. Have bought some more (ignoring my rule about buying on 2nd or 3rd day after an event). Doh, I'll have to put off my retirement, oops, I'm already retired!
T...I managed to buy ASC in the dip but I had "technical problems" and paid 5406, could have sold at £1 a share profit but got greedy.
I expect my name is mud with those that followed me into 88E, sorry lads but hang on in there.
C....Oh dear don't get us oldies started on bands, artists and venues again, we had a jolly few days of comments some months back. Yes, I have Tommy Steel's autograph (and Burt Lancaster's but that's another story).
V....I watched "The 24 hour War" on Netflix about the Le Mans battles tween Ferrari and Ford. You may enjoy it.
AIM? AIM? don't talk to me about AIM, Sometimes think I have evry AIM share....I haven't of course, only those ones going down.
o....surprised, and slightly worried that you have baled from MCRO. I keep having a wistfull look at SAGA and thinking what could have been. Made some profit, could have been a lot more. CCL is looking like an attractive buy to me at the moment.
N...bought back into 88E at 1.59
N...88E stategy? well it derives from an old method I used to use which worked well. Basically buy things that have collapsed for one reason or another, usually on the second or third day after collapse. Looking for a bounce as the initial fall is nearly always overdone. Good to do some reasearch on the reason for the fall. Not very scientific eh?
I have currently got an alert set up at 1.7p on 88E to buy back.
Warning...this is not advice to buy, please be careful, I can cite occaisions when this has gone VERY wrong for me.
V...I had missed PLUSs rise today, dang nab it, how dare PLUS rise with me completely out of them!
Busy treating my garage door to a coat or probably two of black fence paint (I was given it). The door is a single sliding job that I made 25+ years ago, seems to be wearing quite well. My next DIY task is to move a gutter downpipe from one corner of the front of the house to another. OH has already doused for the positio of an existing soakaway as I'll have to install about 15 foot of underground stormwater pipe.
