V: I have a theory to try with PLUS on thursday morning as they open. Obviously at 08:00 they will open at the wednesday close price minus the divi. Now I think I might buy on that dip as (usually) PLUS shugs off the divi. So I am hoping to gain from a rise during the day as it recovers from the divi effect.
Wealth warning. This might well turn out bad as the divi rats desert the ship and the price might drop a long way.

Well done buying PLUS yesterday, I did the same at 1494.

m: Not a criticism more of a joke but whenever you say "S - PLUS is getting ready", I am never quite sure whether that is to buy or to sell! By the way, how is breakfast?

Just sold half my PLUS. Hoping to buy back though.

Good morning Brigadiers.

T: Blimey, you were up and posting early...probably before V went to bed!

Good luck all.

T: Don't actually know my position overall this year. As I type that it feels unbelievable but it's true. I'm reluctant/frightened to actually check. Will have to one day.

"...shelves up in there" not their, sorry

T: Well I lost nearly 4 weeks profit target on HMSO. Stupid really. Glad you are using alerts...soon you probably won't know how you ever managed without them.
Studio finished? No, probably never completely finished, I did hoover the floor of it this morning, I was getting knee deep in sawdust. Putting some shelves up in their this afternoon.
France? I did expect to be returning there last friday, that was my sort of plan but I am still here and haven't made a booking yet. Could be soon though.

Good morning Brigadiers.

m: please get on with breakfast, I need some passive calories.

T: yes, glad to be out of HMSO although they are still above the 47 I sacrificed them for last monday. I noticed that they were 14% or more shorted.

Managed to resist selling BOO and PLUS this morning even though they are both above my threshold of % profit to sell them. PLUS is anticipating the divi I guess and BOO is dragged up by ASC and wanting to shrug off their naughty supplier worries.

T: bit of a bounce on CCL isn't there? But anyway have a good weekend, you part timer you.

m: thanks for the heads up. Actually I sold PLUS for a second time this morning, then bought back yet again 30 min ago at 1470. So thats 6 sells of PLUS this week.

T: thank you I will have a look, trouble is I am busy making profits on PLUS, have just sold again, waiting to buy them back again.

Good morning Brigadiers.

made 4 trades in first 8 mins.
Sold PLUS at 1475 (setting Limit sell within spread) then bought back, maybe too dear at 1463.
Bought BOO on their dip, thinking they are being dragged up on ASCs coat tails.
Sold some SNG at 237 but only a quarter of my holding but has resulted in me making a slight profit overall this week.
Watching DGE

p.s. for those holding GGP, don't forget the NMC report tomorrow may well help the GGP price.

T: sorry have been out visiting a neighbour, awkward really as I had an alert to remind me to consider buying back into BOO at 315 but I didn't act on it. I bought back into CINE actually yesterday, now have 3 tranches, I would have to check but think collectively it's my 4th biggest holding (out of 25 shareholdings...note to self....get rid of some!!). Chinese holding some of CINE? well, as long as they put english subtitles on the screen I'll be happy. I would say the chinese are canny investors. They have 3%?, I think I have the other 97%, is that them I can see in the front row eating popcorn with chopsticks? (Massive apologies if that remark is considered racist).

V: for some reason I also want my "stake" back out of DGE, wish I had set a limit sell at 2666 now, I think it might well have triggered. Quite surprised and delighted of course that DGE has made up all of it's divi today, it is looking rather strong. Interestingly, DGE would have been a good punt today, to buy them this morning early on when they had dipped to well below yesterdays closing price minus the divi, then a capital gain profit equal or more to the divi could have been realised intraday as opposed to the same profit in divi but having held for a week.
Have also been watching SNG, tempted but can't quite bring myself to take some profit there. It's FOMO of course, when these AIM pharmas (and GGP) move, they move a lot.

m: Still holding some PLUS will probably keep them until ex divi day or may sell before if there is a big rise.

2 inches of rain here in about an hour this afternoon, we needed it though. Rioja day tomorrow, good luck all.
Sidebar ad report: home rowing machines and hydrogen energy companies. Who do they think I am?

Just so you can feel sorry for me, I sold HMSO at a big loss the other day, roughly 3 and half weeks profit target down the tubes. Have made most of that back (roughly 2 and half weeks profit target) so far this week so I am hoping for a bit of a windfall between now and Rioja time tomorrow to just get back to par. (That's a double-eagle plus 3).

m: Well done selling DGE, think you got the limit sell price dead right.

midl a lidl ? well I didn't go in, I leave the heavy lifting to the OH but looking at their brochure, their are lots of battery operated tools coming up in a week if you are into DIY. No special offers on wine except the 50p off the white Rioja.

Think I am right in saying that it is legal to bury a person on your own land/garden. Thinking ahead here...

m: Good luck with the NEX, I used to trade them a year or two back.
If you had a limit sale on DGE at 2650, it probably worked? I want 2666 which is my BUY price plus expenses. Perhaps too greedy.

For my PLUS platoon and other followers...I have bought back into PLUS at 1452.

Sold PLUS for 1464 (using my limit sell in spread trick) for a 2.5% profit. May regret this as they seem to be going like a train lately. Will buy back on weakness. Going on our "normal" thursday morning shopping trip in an hour.

Yes but only if and when and over what time period the share price returns to pre ex-divi price. Still, that is one of the joys of chasing divis and I have done lots of it in my time. Now PLUS is interesting (apart from jumping up just now) as in the past they have often gone through ex divi dates with no fall or even a rise. Not sure that will happen this time though.

DGE divi 42.57p or 1.59%
