Good morning Brigadiers.

Have sold my GGP 'traders', bought last thursday, for 8.1% profit. Ha, 5 mins later could have made >10%. Doh but a profit is a profit.

CDSI....welcome aboard. Your tendency to "buy high...sell low" perfectly qualifies you to join our brigade. It something we have all done and a habit we try to break. Speaking personally, I always seem to remember the "bad" trades more than the "good" ones, so probably feel I am doing worse than is the case.
I might be doing myself a disservice and missing out on possible extra income but am philosphically opposed to shorting so I don't get involved there. The closest I get is going long on IG shares..Ha. However, good luck with your endevours and feel free to let us know of your successes and failures (if any).

R...Blooming well done on that ASC in and out trade, mention in dispatches is due.

Yes, I know two prople with birthdays over the holiday season, one on Boxing day and yes, his name is Noel, no joke. I always feel sorry for them, they seem to miss out somewhat on celebration and presents. Still, they could always claim an "official" birthday, like the queen.
Two of my christmas decorations are over 60 years old, not sure how old but I can remember my parents using them all my life. Funny, this year I was extra carefull putting them up, not honestly sure whether it was respect for "family heirlooms" or possible future value. Well if people can dig their vegetable plot up and find Henry V111 coins worth a tesla or two whos to know what I might discover in our box of Christmas tat.

I put our decorations up a week ago. Must get onto doing Christmas cards tomorrow.

GGP holding it's own, NCYT up 4%, SNG down a touch, I would be happy to end the turbulent week(for my shares) right now. In fact, like O sort of feel like switching off for the rest of the year! Not really feeling tuned in enough to trade. I think I should be getting the wine breathing and start my weekend a little early. Must think about my strategy even if it is to change nothing.
Have a jolly good weekend all.

T...I just looked at GGP spread (by doing dummy buy and sell) and make the spread about 1.4%.

Tin hat? I'm already in the bunker wishing I hadn't bothered getting up. I assume it is more brexit led uncertainty. I am starting to feel anti any more transition arrangements that drag things out, I just want want it resolved so we can take the hit and more on.

T....yes, I have tried with some success trading NCYT and GGP lately. So scared that I will find myself depleted of shares if a sudden movement in share price occurs, that I now have a stock of "extra day trader shares" in both stocks for attempted day trading. Lacking a bit of confidence at the moment.

Good morning Brigadiers.

I am afraid to admit I started into the redwine a little early yesterday evening and am reporting for duty with a somewhat thick head. Ha. I was fool enough to buy extra GGP yesterday but not too cheaply at 29.8p. I imagined that I would have made a profit on them yesterday now I am not so sure that they will come good before Christmas! I should have taken my own advice a few days ago and bought MRW again as I don't really have any stock to take advantage of the inevitable santa rally. Thinking that the virus may have kept him at home this year. Very much doubt that I will even reach 50% of my weekly target this week. Only 4 trades so far this week and not really any prospects short term to make a profit (without selling the family silver GGP and NCYT). Now it looks like CINE will take another hit this time from Disney deciding to stream and release, at least it's not stream only.
Anyhow, good luck all today.

Blooming heck, I just get an extra couple of teslas in the garage and a day or so later and they are gone again, why do I bother? Must say I was hovering over the sell button for GGP first thing this morning, What did I do? I dithered then just watched in go down 15 or more percent. Oh dear. Yes, the business of the share price going down on good news....it happens so often with GGP that I have become convinced that the information is leaked out in advance everytime and when the information is officially released it happens against a background of only sellers are left. The buyers are obviously cleverer than me
At least SNG is making some sort of effort.

T...thats good, what we really need now is continuing vaccination news and some serious Brexit progress and we could all celebrate over the weekend. Well, a boy can dream can't he?

MRE not 'more'

GGP RNS on more is out... looks good. NCYT expected to dip, yet again. (Events not related)

Good morning Brigadiers.

T...yes, got plenty of rest thanks. If I do fewer trades, will I have to resign from 'active' service and join the observer core?
Our usual shopping day today so maybe see less action.
Good luck all.

I have been having a siesta for the last 2 hours. Can't believe I was that tired...too much wine with my applecake lastnight. I have only done 3 trades so far this week and they were all on monday. Think my red braces must have snapped.

m...glad you enjoyed the cake.

T....yes, nice increase on NCYT and GGP lately. It makes nearly all my other stock look like a waste of time sometimes.

Good morning Brigadiers.

O...well I have had some funnies trading on IG. They have mostly been trivial but last week I had a SELL excute as a BUY, now I assume it was my mistake as I often do trial buys and sells to examine the real spread etc, it also gives me an idea of the imminent trend of the share price. Now I didn't realise what had happened until the next day but it had a happy, no, very happy outcome as it was an attempted sell of my GGP "trading extras". Again, I have been lucky.

Good Luck all today

T...yes quiet, waiting for news. -9% on SNG not so surprising after yesterdays rise. +11% on NCYT nice as it's knocked GGP off the top spot in my portfolio. +7% on HUR, the last of my oilers which have gone up quite a lot lately.

Good morning Brigadiers.

Still know little or nothing about the rise in SNG. I guess it will either go up or down or stay the same the same today, as usual. Sorry.

Good luck all today.

Applecake a la SadAct...
8oz self raising flour
8oz utterly butterly (not butter, it makes the cake too biscuity)
8oz sugar, I use normal not icing sugar
8oz finely chopped, skinned and cored apple , I prefer not too fine.
4 eggs.
Blend the fat and flour together by hand as if making a crumble mix.
Mix in the sugar, add 4 eggs, mix up together by hand, don't over mix gives better texture.
fold, that's FOLD in the apple into the mix.ture. Pour into greased cake tin.
Cut another small apple into about 12 segments, leave the skin on this apple. Bathe in lemon juice.
Arrange these segments around the top of the cake mix.
Preheat over 175 deg.
Cook, in middle of oven for 70 mins.
Check with a knife that all the mixture is cooked, should be no liquid on
knife when you pull it out of centre of cake. If liquid still on knife give it
another 10mins cooking time.
I like to use some of the cake as a pudding, served warm with a little red wine drizzled
over it and some Devon cream or yoghurt.
Enjoy.
