The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
you really are a gentleman, sir. To think you do all this for free. I did read that Sinclair had pumped a whopping £4m of his own money into the company which I took as very positive thing to do - especially in September 2008 when we all thought amageddon was around the corner. But now I see (pear shaped 2008) that the real problem seems to be the Folkestone dental centre. I'll do a bit more searching tomorrow. I don't think I ever told you but the first share you ever got me into was the old AGU. My average is 2.4p. And all I can do is thank you. Ok, I researched it and took the risk, but in my head I still give you the credit.
i've read the results but it's not my strong point; Still learning there I'm afraid But will devote some time to the posts since july. As you say, someone has probably answered my questions somewhere. Thanks mate; As ever, you're the man
gone from a reasonable loss to a nicec paper profit and all I did was make a cup of tea!
my thoughts exactly
I've followed your posts on this company with great interest since you successfully predicted its last "spurt" when I missed out because of the sheer speed of it. I was reading up on it while it was literally flying. The 9 day does look like it's about to go through the 18 day but there aren't many signs to go on (as an entry point, that is) Anyway, you're not talking to youself!
thanks for that very thorough answer. I'm not as well researched as you so I thank you for sharing that information with me, but I think we're both in this share for the same reason - that we have confidence in Dattels and Melon. The Don and everyone else can't be faulted for having sold at a healthy profit (well done btw), that's what we're here for, but I'm sure they'd agree it wasn't just luck, and you and i don't think D and M are going to sit back and do nothing with their profit. So thanks again and don't be such a stranger to the boards. I, like many others, miss your valuable input. All the best
I was just interested why you thought EML was such a good play apart from the whole KAH thing. If you track the two shares over the last six months they do shadow each other very closely. Don't get me wrong, I do think that Mellon and Dattels know what they're doing and that some day it'll pay off nicely but what else do they have to offer? Apologies if I seem under-researched. In truth, I probably am
sorry, gotta run to work but maybe we can talk later - about your second paragraph; must run
couldn't agree more about silly posts although most of my BBs are pretty sensible. My average is just under 6p and, as I'm not really a day trader, I'm very happy with that. Our day will come. Good luck
I only know moreforus from his posts on ANGM and I find them to be among the very best. And he posted a very good article on new developments in GoG this morning to say that they now have got more gas than they thought they had. That's hardly a ramp
you do need to take the profit now and again or it's only a paper profit...but I'll just stick it somewhere else, maybe spread out a bit more, but it's still just paper. Still you're right and i'll probably start thinking about skimming around 25p
This was one of the shares i bought on my first day last december along with CSLT, BKIR and a few others and long before I had ever heard of LSE. In at 4.9p so a very happy man. I really don't want to sell or even top-slice because that usually sends the price up even more but I'm no good at predicting where a share price should be aiming for. Do you think this is a good long-term hold or once it gets to 20p is it going to slow down or even stop? 20p being the highest it's been in 5 years.
YES, WEREN'T THERE
another good one; Well done and thanks I think I too am just going to sit back and let them all go for a while. Every time I top slice to get into something new the top-sliced one just keeps going. Latest example was bank of Ireland. Sold half 2 weeks ago. "cost me" nearly 4k. But bought topped up in PMK and LGO so I should be OK. I just didn't get my timing right. Something I haven't been able to manage since I lost my crystal ball!
just thought I'd show you you weren't alone and to ask you if you did sell above 7p. It was never really a very long term hold for me but it keeps rising steadily and i've have faith in Mellon and Dattels and their ability to make money for themselves and shareholders. I think I'll always hold for that day when the big plays come into action but I'll have to topslice soon
nothing but buys today and we've just had one (although smallish) pretty far above the ask price. perhaps that oft-mentioned shortage of shares is coming into play; If you look at trades, nobody is selling; Even that 100,000 is from the 4th and therefor a buy. glad I held anyway and thanks for the tip (yet another)
cheers for that was thinking of top slicing but then I read some interesting posts on iii. See what you think. http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:EML.L&display=discussion It's just plain weird that you're not on this board anymore
sage I know you sold out of this a while ago - a big surprise to me - and went into KAH, but I've held on because I have faith in Dattels and Mellon and still remember Stoodio's report all those months ago. Do you feel there's more juice left in the tank here. They seem to be creeping up nicely (just how I like it), finding a new floor every few weeks and Rossing gets better all the time. I'm am also in PMK and MWA but my other 13 shares, you are not in. Just in case you think I'm stalking you (which I am a bit! - -lol)
They were bought for 13p buy some Canadian outfit, if I remember rightly. We all did very nicely and moved on; Like locusts really. (Don't know where that came from!)
Gutted. I sold last bloody Friday
