R...Just received another email from PrimaryBid confirming my full allocation, phew.

R...You lucky thing, my email confirms payment but says...

"The Company may not be able to fill your entire subscription. In the event of a scale back, we will refund any excess funds to you. "

Doh.

Just had a thought that the monarchy are a bit like a single share chat room, when their "capital" is on the up, everything seems sweetness and light but on the way down, they tear themselves to pieces.

I'm not quite a republican but am anti-royalist.

Good morning Brigadiers.

T...ta for PLUS tips, I must admit my focus is on AVCT and ARB today.

Good luck all.

Well, knackered now. Had a hectic day, went for a snooze at 4.45pm, woke up at about 6.10, read the ARB chatroom and I had about 12 mins to decide and actually subscribe. It seemed obvious to subscribe. Ha! When I applied for the new shares, they asked me how many I already have in case of scale back. I don't expect to get all I applied for. New ARB shares will be entered on register between 12th and 18th March.
I expect share price to step down towards 200p first thing tomorrow. I think there will be plenty of opportunity to but ARB at less than todays closing price!
Due to selling half my AVCT today, I am at about 95% of my weekly target. I should be happier but I notice my portfolio value is down yet again.
Having an early (in the week) glass of Buzet to settle my nerves.
Have a good evening all.

Crazy times indeed

T...yes I have taken up ARB offer

C...I bought CMCX at 415p just before last ex divi, then sold them shortly afterwards for 427p for a 2.8% profit plus the divi of course but I think I held them for about a month. 370p doesn't seem an unsafe price. Good luck.

m...a profit is a profit, as we like to say in the mess room and, as it 'appens, it's true.

T...Cor blimey, I just had to check that 50K at 5%/week over a year is what you said. The power of compounding is incredible.
I think I said some similar things a week or so back when I compared making 40% over a few months with 1 or 2% a day. Certainly the smaller but much more frequent numbers win out. It is much more work though...ha! Made 2.3% on a day trade today, do that everyday and this time next year, Rodders, we'll be.....

Hope nobody is trying to shadow my trades....got my buy in price on PFC wrong.

Have bought back the PFC I sold, paid 135.8, wanted them below 135 but I am taking JD Wood as a guid and they are up 3.5%. Still kicking myself for not selling AVCT. Ho hum

T...MCRO down for you but CCL doing well. I note all the airlines are flying a bit. ARB continues to wake up, had an offer to sell at 254, if it exceeds 264 today, I might accept for one tranche.

T...yes, perhaps I am in denial with PLUS, maybe time to refer to them again as MINUS!

Sold some PFC bought friday at 2.3% profit. NEARLY sold some AVCT at 217, wish I had now, got greedy yet again. Think they may see that price again today so will wait. ARB starting their inexorable move up but BTC going slightly off the boil.

Good morning Brigands.

C...yes what we call long term is short term to Buffet, it would be very interesting to see the trading record of his fund. We try to be futureologists in our strategy but that's not easy. It's a punt, a gamble. Not trying to encourage you to churn but aren't there tracker/income funds that do what you are looking for, i.e. longer term income with a side helping of growth. Personally I would rather be in complete control but my abilities can't really compare to the research available to the fund managers.
Blimey I think V would be envious of your GP outings. As I am for Japan in Oct. I've been to Japan 3 times and loved it, even did some software work there. Oyasumi.

V...so should I be buying PS5 futures then? I guess lockdown is a perfect marketplace for them to sell into or are new console releases always like this?
Yes, we can use some good news on PLUS, even I am starting to lose the faith. An increase in this sector should be a no brainer, maybe it's me without the brain! Lol. C is also in this sector with CMC I believe.
We are all routing for GGP to return above 30p it would buy me a Lifetime subscription to the happy club.
It surely can't be long now till we hear news on SNG P3 so I'm hoping for 220p+ there.
Flying pig futures look good too!

O...yes I think I will stick with BT for a bit longer. Sentiment has moved in their favour somewhat. It's a risk though, structural problems and pension fund problems remain. Can't imagine anyone would take them over but these are extraordinary times.
Glad you enjoyed that wine, we had to put up with a mediocre Bizet...ha, the sacrifices I make.

C...you hero, you put me to shame. Your constant analysis of your portfolio is something I only aspire to! I do however, share to a certain degree "robleo"'s concerns about the apparently constant churning that you seen to do. But, if it gets your portfolio to that golden place you seek, then good luck.
T's advice of choosing shares that are trending upwards is obvious but always worth repeating. I think it was V who once proposed trying to choose the shares that are trending downwards...so confident was he in making the wrong choice! Ha, only joking V!
Thank heavens I am not directly invested in a cryptocurancy, They are active 24/7, I am already looking at BTC several times a day because of how it effects ARB. A friend of mine in Bristol actually mines Ether but it pays very little after the cost of electricity. He is talking about buying a bigger, newer, faster setup that cost £20K and pays for iteself in 200 days.
Walk up, walk up ladies and gentlement, step right this way and get rich quick.

Good luck all tomorrrow.

T....Ha, I also doubled my ARB shareholding this week, now have 4 tranches. It was more by accident than design though as I actually forgot that I had bought a tranche on wednesday. My mind is going I think.

Gold/mineral prices...well sorry to be pedantic but GGP is an "explorer/prospector" as opposed to a miner but obviously will be affected by POG. In fact by an exaggerated amount in my view but then I am just a sore loser after GGP SP has gone down by so much lately.
Hope you had a good walk, I am going for one now.

T...a Fool article positive about ARB...
