oops, completely forgot about the MCRO divi.
Ex-divi 9 Apr 44.53p (at current exchange rate) that's 6.5rr
Nice article in Times business section today counselling against making hasty decisions.
Very prescient for me as I was starting to consider a large sell off.
It also points out that the FTSE has zig-zagged this week but ended "only" down 1.79% on the week.
Note to self: Hold your nerve....Don't panic

V, I haven't been able to give mar ket my full attention today, moving around a lot and having to use my smartphone is not ideal. Good that you saw that way to increase shareholding in OCDO on the down trend.

You made a compelling case for FRES, Treacle. Wish I had bought at 959 yesterday after all. When you bought again this morning, so did I. But only at 978 also I didn't sell MCRO. Perhaps you have already sold FRES and bought back into MCRO on that 952 shake?

V...I would much prefer to have bought MCRO at your price than mine!!
Last day of my short holiday today. Have to head off early so setting a couple of limits then I will watch for 40mins.
Good luck all

Now everything is my garden is certainly NOT rosy but it has suddenly struck me that averaging a 2% increase in number of shares per week would double my share holding in a year (much better than that actually because of compounding, percentages of percentages). When you achieve 5%+ per week (and that doesn't often happen to me), well, you can see where I am going with the math. I have heard T talk of 2% per trading day but I cannot be that accurate with spikes and shakes and sometimes I am reading the market completely wrong.
I also make mistakes, the other day, I nearly bought when I should have been selling. This is completely down to me trying to handle too many shares at once. I have proved several times that I am incapable of doing this efficiently.
You stupid boy, Pyke

V, yes I certainly did buy MCRO too early. I am only trading one tranche in it and am continually nervous that it will get away from me. Hence as soon as I see a percentage or two, after stamp duty, if the graph indicates a strong buy/sell, then I do. Shares always seem more likely to fall so really I should wait (or set a lower limit) as it's likely there will be a good buying opportunity later. Ha, rule 8 applies. Contrast with trying to sell on a spike where dithering can miss a chance which may not recur same day/week.

O, we're doomed!

My smartphone isn't very smart with this chatsite so I seem to get other people's messages only after I post my own.
Now have 2.4% more OCDO shares

Hope you bought at 1123, I paid 1128 as I couldn't watch it and bought with a limit buy.

Good prices, nice gains. Chart says yes to buy ocdo So I am. Now I always buy too early so if you wait 15m I almost guarantee you Wii get a better price. Ha

I see FRES came good for you. Well done. Looked at them earlier but begrudged paying 650p. Whoops, another error.
PLUS back at what I paid, might be able to sell at profit later.
Earlier buyback of HUR has given me 3.27% more shares.
Still totally ignoring SAGA.

Sorry for no reply Selling MCRO, T but have been visiting shops. Looking back at graph now I would have recommended selling at 702 but it has got stronger negative since then.
I have bought HUR again better price than I would have accepted at 9.30 am
OCDO at 1140, graph not shouting BUY, My target still 1130.
PLUS recovering a little.

graph is saying i should buy ocdo but will hold off a little.
Just bought back into FEVR, now 1.8% more shares than yesterday.

yes, running to standstill....or even going backwards slightly.
Managed to sit past an instant good profit on PLUS, noticed the other day that they tend to have a good spike first thing so bought some at 959 last thing yesterday but I got greedy and they just didn't trigger my limit sell this morning. Still, they tend to do well in the afternoons too!!
I am not as optimistic as you on getting OCDO down at £11.09, the volume has gone down again today on my chart and I think OCDO are starting to show the same resilience as the supermarkets.
SAGA? I have my head in the sand.
HUR....stupid, ignored the graph telling me to buy back and now I could be selling again at same price that I sold at yesterday!! Doh. Amateur.

Yes, I did sell HUR yesterday at 16.28p and lookig to buy back today, it is already a good 3% down on my sell price yesterday but the graph is telling me not quite yet.

That's up 5.38% on MCRO shares in 2 days.
Ah SAGA are up 5.5% today, that's something positive. Bought PLUS again yesterday, in a good profit now, might hang on till graph tells me what to do. Ha, see it has just dropped!!! Doh.
OCDO looking a bit strong, hope we get a buying opportunity!
HUR dropped a bit, want to buy back but prefer a bigger margin even though it's non stampy

Yes I am up 5.38% number of shares over 2 days.
Signs are (FTSE future, far east open, and DOW last night) that we should pop up a bit more today.
Always worry on ex dividend days ad we are getting close to end of week.
Took a massive hit on SAGA yesterday so not all my stuff is rosy.
Like you T, I am hoping to buy back into OCDO today, I will buy below 11.30£ depending on the graphs.
Good luck V, I think you are getting a handle on things. My handle works but it is a bit wobbly

Will work out details later. Bought MCRO at 709. Sold HUR at 16.28, graph said NO but it was up 12%

Graph said buy MCRO so who am I to argue? Now have 2.99% more shares than this morning. OCDO and FEVR both run through buy recommendations but both are too close to the prices I sold at so ignoring for now.

I'm waiting to buy back into OCDO, MCRO and FEVR. T, Are you expecting a significant dip after ameri open?

Sol FEVR at 1313
