I switched off Question Time last night when one of the panel said we intend to set up GB energy.... Jim Hacker and Sir Humprey are already in waiting..
Started about 20 years ago day trading and have to say it can be fun but markets change. You have to adapt. I want the Summer playing with my toys and not staring at the screen...... MHC have very poor news flow.......Perhaps there is no news..
For me I have reached the end of the line with AIM shares. Over the last few months I have dumped all but two and those are on borrowed time. I want to rid myself from the day to day this Summer and so I have goe over to Footse 250 and
will just take the dividends in re invest. I know some investments are dividend traps but I have tried to choose very carefully those I have tucked away... MHC may go boom but I have been in since Concepta and made diddly squat.
Day trading has no appeal under the current climate... I will let you know in six months if I have made a wise decision.
His most important and hardest problem to solve will be how to get the drones out of the no job centres..
I fully accept a lot of what you say. I have been buying and selling now for a long time and have learnt a lot. Sometimes with expensive lessons but overall I am able to continue with my extravagant life style. This year though I finally decided to remove Aim from the equation. I only have two holding left and their days are numbered. This week my fingers hovered over the buy for a few here but my feelings towards are leaders put pay to my daliance. I have never seen such a load of uninspiring individuals. And that is on both sides. One thing though is cheesing me off. I feel openly gagged...
Take a quick look at UKW (Greencoat). They have been buying back continuously since November 23. Truthfully there appears to be no improvement in the SP although obviously there is a monetary gain.
I have lots furiously doing the same but since Xmas my portfolio has dropped 14%....The FTSE 100 is at record highs but that is because a few have out performed ...
I just take the dividends and accept I am probably in a trap. Jumping about from share to share just makes the brokers rich.
We need a period of stability in the world and at present I cannot see how this will happen. Many years ago I worked in the film industry. There was a small Czech cartoon called 'Attention' . Two stone age men in skins were busy carving out huge clubs. When they had finished they sat back to admire their work and then prompty smashed each other over the head. It sums up what is happening today on the world scene...
I love waking up on a Monday. I always find it a bonus. I can then go about my business being 'Openly Bonkers'
I have sold on third of my holding here. After three years I still showed a small loss but the market shows no interest in this company. I fear it might move to America before some large pharma snaps it up.
Risk adversion is becoming dire..... I still have the other two thirds because I can see nothing better to buy! I really hope something changes.
I have eight of my shares in my portfolio which have been buying back for ages. Buybacks in my opinion are just an excuse for being unable to use spare cash to progress the company. Of course what would have happened without the buybacks is pure speculation. The real problem at the moment is the attitude to risk and many seeking to find safe havens.
The last update was January 18th so surely they will confirm this week than Penny has not turned into a Far Thing and all is going swimmingly. Only this morning I saw two pigs fly by.. I goimg back into hibernation as it is blowing a gale and pouring with rain. I am all honed and toned from two days of sun and dizzy temperature in the 20's.
For three years I have held this share. So far I have nothing to show. The sp is moribund. However I do believe that the sun will come out tomorrow.... Its just a matter of living long enough to enjoy it. Talk over 2 pounds or four is just idle dreaming...Sometimes though dreams come true
