Megatron, if you're going to buy purely on the say so of someone else then that is pure gambling imo, your research would tell you that the share is suspended and may be for a while with a reverse takeover so you wont be able to buy on Monday
am well thanks, I've taken my profit from INFA but I think I will stay out on this occasion, Adrian's history looks debatable to say the least but I hear you on Peter's effect on SML, just a thought, I know no different but poster saying Adrian has invested £75k but it depends on what wage he is going to take, that could easily be balanced in 6 months with a wage of say £150k pa, nice profit tyvm and in 2 years it could be sorry guys couldn't make it work but I've made a load in the meantime. That is a possibility that has entered my head. I know no different since I don't know the bloke even though he seems sincere
Cam, you not concerned with Adrian's history ? http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=INFA&ArticleCode=go3kp1cg&ArticleHeadline=Board_appointments
Thanks for your thoughts Adj, appreciated, as you say it may never happen but peeps will always believe it will and that is key, traders paradise. I do always (well nearly always) have some in with the intention of trading the rest and have recovered much of my losses by doing just that and by being out at the right time
Adj, it feels like wsg would need a catalyst to take it to 6.75 ? surely with the upcoming agm the board would be more keen to see the sp rise ahead of it and I think results could be decent. I suppose a catalyst could be hh selling some or news of ME falling through but seems pretty unlikely at this point ? I'm stuck between selling on a stop loss and buying back cheaper or just averaging down further at around 7 (which I can comfortably do), would you have a thought on where to resign to a stop loss in the interim ? Is your sb still in at this point may I ask ?
MT, I think that is actually a very good mental block to have, I tend to think of a share on a great run having a 5 day life before it becomes ultra risky, it's then that it's liable to start falling back imo and become a question of when it's worth buying or will it fall back completely. Cam - re Infa, if you're thinking placing (as I am also), it becomes a question as at what price and whether we are likely to have a pre rise ?
Cam, I'll make the same reply I make to any that diss AIM - yes, 95% of AIM is crud but there are 5% of good growing companies within AIM that are cash generative, growing, and paying dividends, they are the ones I tend to look for (nothing wrong with a small punt at the right price to keep things interesting however)
If you are unsure about your holdings or even a good managed fund, ie you have good shares but they could get an associated kicking in a market downturn, you could open a short on say the ftse as a hedge, that's what I have done very recently - I opened a SUK2 which is a double short on the ftse 100 "time in the market" not "timing the market" but market does feel 'toppy'
