Porch report... built a low granite wall (to match house...this is dartmoor) with timber frame. Quite large as it's on south face of house so it's a porch to our front door plus a conservatory for breakfast etc...I love to get two uses for the price of one. Dartmoor is beautiful in summer but in winter the horizonal driving weather on the west face would rot a piece of plastic! Consequently, the east face and part of the south face is in good condition even after 30+ years.
I think it was m that suggested I should look in skips for replacement wood, well the wood I salvaged a month or so ago is easily good enough to give it another 20 years of life, longer if I double protect the exposed south west corner.
All I need now is a plan, trying for minimum disruption I will remove most glass and all rotten timber, renew the wall plates then splice replacements ito the uprights. Simples. Ha.
C...yes, we have had exceptional value for money from that 2 function porch. Ta for info on NatGrid, yes, I agree, it seems to me that the share price never moves. Very well done on your PFC purchase this morning, I very nearly bought just before you, the graph looked as though it had bottomed out from the recent fall and it is 3 days since the SFO thing. Well done...I think my bad performance lately has knocked my confidence. Like you, I think it is much harder to decide an exit point than an entry point. I know you have targets for each share but for me, I decide on the hoof for my trading shares depending on volatility and general trends, in FTSE, the sector and so on.
You must be happy with your CMCX, I agree about the apparent disconnect with comparison to the PLUS share price, I am just relieved to see it making some headway
G...welcome back to the madhouse.
T....on OCDO when we were busy with it a few months ago, what was that about a £27 per share (or was it £17) point at which the CEO bonus would be triggered. I can hardly remember.
N...half of my holdings are in AIM shares and sometimes the spread amazes me, but you probably know that the real spread can be incredibly small compared to the "advertised" spread. Also, of course, in the first minutes of trading, large spreads are reducing, not very predictably in my experience. This also applies to all shares as you probably know.
I read yesterday that the FTSE250 had passed it's level of pre covid.
V...I bought my SNG back so all of them are now in my ISA account..ready for their upcoming fantastic rise, hopefully.
m...your 4.2% per month profit target of money in play is quite close to my target.
I seem to be in a lot of spare cash at the moment, much more under invested than normal for me. My only sell today was a tranche of ASC for a 3.6% profit. When my £2 ARB subscription shares landed by coincidence I could have sold them for £2.55, nearly did but am hanging on in there for at least 270p.
