How weird - I just remembered exactly the same thing - you sold one the way down - it dropped a fair way from when you sold to be fair so don't feel bad. But you should have bought the day it went under 12 - I did, but only kept them for a month or so I bought too early and sold too early here but still made good profit, just shows what buying into a solid company does. I don't think I'll ever invest in another aim company. This taught me so much about buying and selling good quality co's and being patient.

not = now

I'll try now! Looks like this has double bottomed as is not on the way up - what do you think?

I'm in just under 4 Will add if neccesary, but looks good and those running the co seem to have a good track record in making good decisions- as much as any decent co on aim!

Marked up 34% already Might wait to see if dip

Bought a few of these today - drop looked overdone tbh Hopefully a few director buys may push us back up a tad!

Well done- more patient than me - £17.56 LP

Took 1720 ish on Friday - sold out completely but love to buy back at some point as a good co - the market as a whole looks like it needs a correction though

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/markets/article-3055418/Shell-takes-hit-3-2bn-UK-companies-profit-warnings-up.html Might be a trade back in here this week if RDSB drop on this.

bit = big

Made good money out of these - especially when they dipped to 1200 in a day that was such an easy trade. I have been selling all the way back up but have 1 tranch left that 1 bought at 1711. I could sell and take a slight loss on these as I made a profit overall on the trades as a whole but I refuse to do so. I'll keep till I can sell at 1750 or I'll buy more on the way back down! The trades have been quite active of late and there's still some quite bit buys from time to time

Surely not just the brokers forecast? Up over 7%

No I meant I'd picked up some BP.!

This was meant for Spikeyj I feel like I did when I was carpetbagging round the building societies trying to work out the next to de-mutualize

Re your last comment - I am now ... But only for 80% of my profit from BG - no capital

As someone said earlier - cash is King - if you're happy only receiving some cash and RDSB shares then it makes sense to hold some as the deal goes through Personally I think the deal will take time, with the election coming up politicians will want to stick their noses in, the FTSE is quite high etc. So I will continue to watch and if it goes down enough I may re-buy.

There is also a dividend coming up of 9.52p per share which from what I read BG holders who hold shares on 23rd April will receive. Shareholders should get this later in May I believe.
