Getting bored, thoughts starting to turn to Rioja.

Hope everyone made at least some profit this week. This time next year Rodders, we'll have the same amount of money plus or minus a bit. (apologies to Del).

Have a good weekend all.

R: I see you are giving away your Yorkshire roots. I used to work near Selby, Tunstall Telecom actually.

T: "...and come back on St Ledgers day." 9th-12th Sept so not long now.

V: Yes could have sold DGE at resonable price three times this week, I got too greedy.

Have just sold some CINE at 50.51 for a 7.9% profit. Finally added to my £92 profit, so that's Uber to TESLA showroom and return and a fish and chip supper (and change out of half a crown). Actually I don't book dividends until they are actually paid and PLUS have been "slow" payers, I think it'll be about 12 weeks before that arrives, lets hope I have traded them by then.

Lucky...my nearest Screwstation or Toolfix is 22 miles away.

Good morning Brigadiers.

FTSE was down earlier but is about par now. I am hoping to boost my £92 profit this week to £95...I call this my little acorn trading strategy. Ha.

Good luck all/

My trades were buy, sell, buy of PLUS and a buy of CINE.

Looking through the TESLA catalogue to see what I can spend my £92 on....it seems that's the uber fare to the showroom....oh well.

m: well done selling CINE last thing yesterday then rebuying today. I thought about but dithered too much. It seems there is often a chance to do that, will you sell it again now and buy back on the almost inevitable drop first thing tomorrow?

V: No, I didn't have the guts to buy PLUS on the initial big fall, not dithering this time just no bottle.

T: I would take the vaccine if available but I certainly wouldn't want to be an early adopter.

By the way, I have still only made £92 this week, could sell some AVCT or SNG to get some serious profit on the books but disinclined to do so. Think I have become allergic to making a profit...only 4 trades this week so far.

PLUS divi according to Divenddata.co.uk is $0.9531 which is 73p, I used HL data the other day to quote the divi and it was slightly lower, ($0.93, 71p). Checked HL again and it now shows the same as Dividenddata. That 2p makes all the difference, it will probably be another bottle of Rioja today at Lidls.

Good morning Brigadiers.

Well FTSE is already 71 points down (-1.15%) but it is a thursday and that means several companies go ex divi.

By the way, I got some sort of advance corporate notice that IAG are proposing a rights issue in September. Don't ever recall getting such an advanced notice before. No details yet.

Bought more CINE yesterday (at 46.4) so hoping for a nice ride there today. DGE nearly got to my sell price yesterday, I am hoping the achieve it today or tomorrow, if not I might have to reduce my expectations there.

Good luck to the PLUS holders, I'm a bit 50-50 about them at the moment. They closed yesterday at 1515 so they will probably at at 1444.
My thursday shopping day today, might not go. OH can probably manage!
Good luck all.

On PLUS, tricky but one could sell now but get back in before the bell today. No stampy so it could work.

V: yes, I think that is happening. Not uncommon for folk to cash in their capital gain, i.e.take profit on share price which is taking a view that the price will collapse tomorrow by much more than divi. I am committed to taking the divi now and waiting for at least a partial recovery of share price. This company is strange, doesn't seem to obey normal "rules", yes, price is at a high but think it will go further. Their income is guaranteed really and instead of the virus and Brexit suppressing it, it is boosted but I can't offer a guarantee.
Glad GGP is starting to recover some of it's recent losses. Wish I had had the guts to have topped up.

R: Hope you had a good time and that it wasn't too wet. You can tell how little action I've seen if I told you how much profit I've booked this week: £92. I won't give up my day job. Ha.

I have just reread my last posting and no, I am not drunk but there were a few errors, culminating in a list that should have read SNG, AVCT and GGP. Sorry.

V: Loos like you were late on parade (again) this morning. Glad you are back in PLUS, can't remember if I declared it but I bouht another trance this morning at 1544 intending to sell on the rise today that I expected. I am getting a little nervous about them at the moment but there is always the divi.

T: my understanding is that V sold his DGE last week? Apologies, V if I am wrong. I still have mine and I am still looking for 2666 to sell at par, the divi cheque already being "in the post" .

O: I recall you expressed interest in TCM, they have been doing well lately. Did you buy some?

I am being kept awake by alerts repeatedly going off on SNG, AVCT and AVCT

m: That's a real bummer. Sympathies.

Anyone in AVCT? They are up 10%, Matt Hancok said something which finally seems to recognise their rapid test and the implications on travel/universities etc.

T: Yes, I bought more on that dip.

V: are you back in PLUS? are you up?

m: what is the breakfast menu?

PLUS goes ex divi tomorrow for $0.93 (71p)

For any PLUS followers. Note that PLUS has increased 25% since 4 August and is now at a level not seen since feb/march 2019. Yes, they have had good figures and it seems there are lots of new customers trying to trade the Covid and Brexit effects. I myself still trade them (6 times last week, only once this week) but the size of my tranches has been reducing as I become more cautious. Good luck.
