i wouldn't trust this rally with no new news. unless u have already bought in, then you are safe. but if you are trying to ride the share north, remember what happened to CAL recently. shot all the way to 100p in a few days, then they announced a rights issue and cut the share price in half. it could be another ploy to get momentum traders in....too much of a risky play for me, anyway. =)

and the doom and gloom of a bleak future coming from this company, i cannot believe the share price is still over 50p. very expensive! one to watch but not worth buying in now.

QED announced to shareholders the possibility of a rights issue(share price tanked) back in january or february with no previous director buys, then announced later an RI was no more an option due to insitutional objection. i reckon if that was still an option now, QED would/should be ethical enough to inform investors of a possibility again before an actual RI. having said all that, i do think QED is quite expensive to buy now. i would not buy a second block now.... i'm looking for other opportunities instead - bought into DWY(speculative) and UNIQ(momentum) today. on a more personal note, i'm feeling quite gutted about TTG - been watching that share for a long time but have NOT bought in.

i don't see an RI coming. if a director spends £10,000 then perhaps small possibility although i have never seen a director buying prior to a rights issue. it's one of the surest indicators(for me) for the future of the company - proven by statistics too. think how many companies are there where directors buy and then the share price tanks? as rich as they may be, they simply do not throw personal money away. come on, they are stingy businessmen! just look at the amount of director buys last 2 weeks :- http://www.investegate.co.uk/Index.aspx?searchtype=3&words=qed&Go=%3CSPAN+class%3DbuttonLeft%3E%3CSPAN+class%3DbuttonRight%3Esearch%3C%2FSPAN%3E%3C%2FSPAN%3E not just a director but a few of them. this is what's pushing the share price up. look at CAL - were there any votes of confidence before the RI announcement? nada. it was simply a matter of time before someone comes on here to suggest something fishy going on. i appreciate the intention may be good but a round of director buys is a high vote of confidence. nothing is certain but if you bought in at a low price, stick with it or top slice. don't blame me if somehow my opinion turns out wrong but i don't think equity fundraising is the future, not with institutional objection and a few director buys. to anybody reading, don't invest based on what you read on this board - dyor and form an insight. i'm watching/researching another property company at the moment - will tell u guys here if it's go

momentum traders are buying in...this could lead to rise again over the next few days. there is no real reason to doubt UNIQ and any uncertainty as to why the share price would tank so this will attract investors who are looking for stability.

it's the right time to buy back into UNIQ.

my strategy has been to buy in 2 blocks - one as a base holding and the other to "buy on the dips". has worked out fine for me. if there is a sudden jump when i only have a base holding, i tend to sell it off too, then buy back in on the low thereby pocketing the difference. this is insurance incase i miss out on the big jumps. you can only do this on shares you really trust. rayfan, if u want to ride UNIQ all the way...i think not holding anything is a little risky. you oculd always buy your first block(since u are already in profit), then buy another block if it dips further....? just a suggestion...

there are still some commercial property shares that haven't ticked up as much as this. just remember to ensure they haven't been diluted and there is a strong reason for them not to conduct equity fundraising. for QED, one of the institutional shareholders objected at the EGM(or AGM?)....which is when i bought in. i was terribly tempted to sell and forget when QED fluctuated between 55p to 65p but haven't done so because i didn't need the cash. now i'm well chuffed. =) i don't think QED will hit £8 again as they have made some disposals but £6 to £7 within 3 years time is a possibility.

up 22p today....will it ever retrace?

up 20p today....

my condolence regarding your £8 buy. don't top up yet - wait for a retrace. assuming the current rally really does stall or fall back, i reckon the next best time to top up would be around 1st or 2nd week of october. i'm assuming we may be able to see more of a sustained rise from that time onwards(because a lot of bad news for most shares would have been out by then). this is not related to UK markets but to give u an idea, the markets are currently cautious :- http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stock-market-looks-for-brake-after-steep-run-2009-08-15 uk investors will be doing the same as not much news will be expected in the coming weeks, plus the summer holidays mean low volume. quite a lot of investors will be pulling out and holding cash for a few weeks, imo. fyi, just my speculation.

yeah i bought into TW too but i wish i had bought into TEF or BHY instead. they were much better managed companies and they haven't had a dilution so their shares will rise back to former glory. back a few months ago, they were not much more expensive than TW....and they were unknown among the flock of PIs. but i did pick a good one for commercial property - QED. there was a risk of dilution but when i found out an institutional shareholder objected to a rights issue, i bought in. and they are now my highest gainer by percentage. i've got another stock that is still going cheap-ish in perfect recovery mode - also well managed, no dilution and no risk(yet?), enough headroom for covenants, reduced costs, market outlook a little bit brighter. just waiting for a good entry point at the moment. =)

i did take a look at COST. while the outlook for the company is commendable, the shares have been diluted so it will climb, but perhaps not as much as before(theoretically). i'm still looking for shares that haven't been diluted, just undervalued. but not many around these days....

lol...funny way to put it. same here - this is the only share that made me really really wish i went crazy and bought sh*tloads of QED 3 weeks ago. it just can't stop rising. i can only guess that the "money on the side" that has been waiting all this while is being piled into QED now. that's why it pays to invest into companies that haven't had a rights issue, because you know for sure then that it could very well return to past glory in a short period of time, once the big timers are confident with the company. bx12, for example...BHY and TEF haven't diluted their shares and at the moment, it doesn't look like there is a need for them to raise funds(unlike TW previously). but they are still bl**dy rising!

that's a good strategy. i've also held some funds back to top up in case it drops below 160p although i'm not expecting it to. welcome aboard guys =) keep on the lookout for news...

i'm trying to figure out why too. seems llike mixed news so i wouldn't trust this rally... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/583257be-804f-11de-bf04-00144feabdc0.html http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUSBNG43836920090814 dyor

hey mate i'm ok thanks. BHY was a favourite of the city until the meltdown. they are one of the few property companies that hasn't raised funds through a rights issue yet. which means the shares haven't been diluted...which also means there is a chance past share price glory can surely return. i'm looking to buy either TEF or BHY but only on a retrace, not now. and only if whatever i pull out of TW can pay for them(with only half amount of shares). TEF is regenerating east London where the Olympics will be held in 3 years and it is my preferable share but it is also very expensive now. as for oil, i'm watching COP, to buy in at 28p if it ever gets there. based on what you said, i think you meant oilfield services, right? COP is an actual explorer and producer. an oilfield services company that is currently not in favour with the City is BNLN. high risk, high gain. i'm waiting for their next update before deciding whether to top up or not. ducatiman996r, u're right - at least u made a gain instead of a loss. good on ya! there are not many cheap value shares in the market now. these days i struggle to find one when there were so many before... but there are still some unknown shares that are waiting to be discovered. just got to search a little harder.

i just noticed the aftermarket £85K buy. perhaps the seller is all sold out?

cheers mate. just unfortunate that there is a big seller at the moment. while that occurs, the opportunity to buy in exists. i'm also happy the MM is not allowing the price to drop down to the 52 week low of 150p. now it's just a matter of waiting... i'm hoping this will hit £2 by end september.
