V...must just say that it's hard but you mustn't let the fact that you have just topped up in a share stop you from selling IF you think they will go lower. I am in the same dilemma, for example NCYT. As it happens I feel GGP will go up and don't see much downside pressure. Good luck.

Who's in PLUS is it just V and myself? They look like they may be moving up. PLUS should see benefit from extra trading going on.

T...OH is recommending The Ahmedia Guest House in Dubai, a hotel in the old quarter adjoining the museum. It's a tradition dar with a courtyard, it's on the north side of the creek, close to the water. She stayed there on a break coming back from Australia. It's not the Hilton!

Have sold PFC for 7.4% profit. Taken me a long time to sell something this morning, I've started the long climb back towards my target.

O...I am still watching SAGA too, starting to look like the "boat" has sailed without me. Wouldn't be the first time.

T...I have a share dealing friend who counts every profit as payment for something. He declares things like, that's a holdiday and 2 return trips to France AND a new pair of specs paid for!

Having fun on OPG at the moment, trying very hard to resist selling.

Feeling a touch out of step with market, confidence taking a battering this morning.

T...ARB coming back again, rollercoaster isn't it?

V...bought NCYT at 888

Good morning and good luck Brigands.

T...No, OH not had vaccine yet, she has been away visiting her mum.

FTSE 100? It seems to be 90% made up from Oil, Banks and big Pharma to me. Yes, dinosaurs, like super tankers...slow to turn.
I was given some info when I had my vaccination including possible side effects. Friends have asked me whether I have had any side effects and I have had one which is not on the list....it's quite profound and I can only describe it as "relief".

O...Me too regarding SAGA keeping an eye on them and looking for a good re-entry price. SAGA insurance side may be very attractive, there seems to be insurance takeover interest around, HSTG were taken over and another big one, forgot the name. I have some AV. but only a small holding, perhaps my smallest.

T...wise words on ASC, I am nervouse about them at the moment too as they can move down (or indeed up) like a counter on a snakes and ladders board. I was reading more on the shorting farrago, it seems the Reddit followers had a go at one of the lesser known cryptocurrancies, forgotten which, and caused a heck of a spike on friday. Also been suggested that the $600+$1400 "windfalls" from US government may be contributing to the action.
You'll like this but I was doing some theoretical calculations and considering liquidating some NCYT/GGP/SNG (biggest holdings) to increase my regular trading pot by factor of say, 4 and increase my weekly target by 4 also. I believe there ise extra profit going forward on NCYT/GGP but that could be 10 weeks away maybe. Could be using those funds more productively in the meantime.

T...£2 for ARB? I would be delighted, it will get there but will take months.....but thinking about it, I am waiting that long for a similar increase in NCYT/GGP/SNG.
Just back from local medical centre, my appointment was for 15:51, they did me at 15:50. Very efficient operation they're running. It was a Pfizer vaccine. I now have a tiny piece of paper that says I have had the vaccine 1st dose and the date...It hasn't even got my name on it or anything that could reference my name...some passport that is!
Reading about CINE and think I will buy more on weakness, good recovery stock even without the chance of it goin private/takeover. Slight concern, as I pointed out earlier in the week, CINE goers are young demographic, could be 3 months before those cinegoers are vaccinated.
I looked at those graphs for NCYT and GGP, seem similar Zak whatsit ones explained before, I was underwhelmed.
Have a good weekend.

T....something from the Fool about ARB...

C...I already compute my portfolio to include cash and PAID divis as well as share values. So a like for like basis. My weekly target is profit(loss) booked on shares sold. My profit achieved this week was distorted by selling some of my NCYT. Without the NCYT sale, I would have made "only" 245% of my target, this good figure was mostly due to SNG, CINE and MCRO sales gains during the week.

T...Cryptocurrency is "mined", calculated using computers, it takes a long time to do the calculation. ARB build machines that do the mining, it is purpose built hardware much faster than PCs. So they are effectively making money althought there is a technical distinction that means crytocurrency is NOT money. There are many types of cryptocurrency of which BTC (Bitcoin) is best know and was first I think. Personally I prefer Etherium (ETH) for various reasons. However, ARB share price tends to follow BTC and not a basket of cryptos, again for various reasons. So when BTC goes up a lot, ARB does too. My expectation is 140 but it is so volatile that if you see 5% profit, take it then re-enter lower. BTC and other cryptos althought traded 24/7 tend to decrease at weekends. I wouldn't have thought it was a share(ARB) for you though!

Got to get the wine brathing, probably do a Cabernet Sauvignon tonight. Hope people had a good week.
Have a good weekend all.

Well I have made 942% of my weekly target mostly through selling some of the NCYT family silver. However, my portfolio value is down 13.4% on the week reinforcing my thoughts that my performance monitoring system is rubbish. I am definately feeling poorer this friday compared to last, maybe that's a better measure? Hope others did better, a lot better.

C...oh dear bad luck, I thought that was one of the dividends of the virus that fewer miscreants were about! Hope your house insurance covers it, sounds like an expensive bike.

O...Thanks for SAGA comments.

I get the impression that all BOO are getting from Debnehams purchase is access to the name and website customer list, perhaps that justifies the price

m...Used to have LPG but it got too expensive so swopped over to Oil. Ha, I have got a gas camping stove for those pesky breakfast emergencies though. I also have an inverter to get mains from 12v to run low wattage stuff like the router and laptop! ARB, Argo Blockchain, now up 34%, perhaps things aren't too bad after all. Good luck.

m...you are right, things aren't all bad OPG power up 11% and ARB up 22%.
Chainsaw beckons but seriously wet and windy here...think I'll make a "heart attack on a plate" breakfast....if the power stays on.

T... I was guilty of bad bad trading earlier and have paid the finacial penalty in lower profits. I ignored several rules, including yours. I am looking for someone to speak in my defense at the court martial but they have headed for the hills or have problems of their own. IAG doing OK, hoping to sell later having missed the peak around 151 yesterday, trouble is I am downhearted messing with a few hunded profit on IAG when I threw thousands away on NCYT.

O....We could get jackets made for our club, perhaps BOO could source them somewhere cheap? Still holding BOO but think it is a medium term hold. Also looking at SAGA, humming and haring. You seem to be doing a fair bit of switching between companies. I used to do that a lot, not sure if it worked for me. Good luck.

Good morning Brigands.

Having a bad day here at SadAct towers. Panic set in and I sold about 15% of my NCYT at 954, since recovered to over 1000p. Stupid of me, a mistake. Made healthy profit but could have done so much better. Doh! Wish I hadn't got up now.

T...Only got small tranche of CINE but may be buying more as I am awash with cash at the moment. They could be a takeover target or maybe Jaygo are hoping for a short squeeze effect. CINE has a lot of debt though.
