Balman, had a couple of buyouts on my shares this year which has really helped. Made some mistakes as ever but made loads on SCH (bought out), ETO (bought out), PETS (shorts closing), AMER, WSG, PHD & CER. Only 2 of those I'm still in are AMER (possible buy out) & wsg (out and back in as a punt)

If you're new to this investing lark I will say the same I say to everyone. It takes 2 years to start to get it, even then you're still learning and still making mistakes. Timing and patience are everything.
I would also advise getting a copy of The Naked Trader, turned my fortunes around, a fun read, good advice but be aware it will tell you to avoid buying the sort of gutter shares that everyone will be telling you to buy and makes perfect sense, also tells you how to short shares which can be useful too.
And yeah Investegate rns's for your shares is a must

So this is where you hang out since they closed Cams thread. OPP quitter indeed :) they've got nothing left to sell !
Hope you haven't held onto your INFA profits through all the dark times ?
Doing ok me, 25% up this year :)

Maybe we'll get a phantom rise on OPP, seen it before
STAF, all bad news out of the way ?

managed to get the shares back I'd sold before on OPP. No doubt u lot will keep an eye out for me selling again !! :)

Yep, lost it's buzz here since Cam went away. Doing well this year, I think Safecharge has been my best share and just been offered for and now bagged as a long termer. Other than that I've just been taking profits and a few losses, Amer has been my biggest pity and wish I'd taken more profit off the top. Made a few bob on Bilby & Ricardo but sold both. Not many left in my pf right now. Wish I'd held onto PETS.
Will STAF bounce ? I don't know but one I'm watching closely

Well I hope he took the profit on 7DIG while it was there because it's dropped like a stone since, for once I'm glad I didn't take his tip

Saxxxon, he's left to concentrate on other things, he said he would delete his account so I guess that's why you can't see his posts

lol
Anybody watch episode 1 of that Ed Stafford thing last week where he's spending some weeks living as a homeless guy on the streets. He must have felt so disappointed as I was by the guy who swore he was doing his best to get back into accomodation and asking every passer by for money for shelter that night, seemed to have big plans whereas all the others were drug addicts, said he wasn't into drugs then spent all he'd raised on a big drug blowout.
And as for the guy on the zombie drug lol
That was episode 1 and worth a catchup, the next one is tomorrow at 9

That was me that ate your iced bun btw, sorry

MT, re SEE, it was only really given as an example at checking out the historic chart, and seeing the painful drops after steep rises, you can normally duplicate this for any small AIM share, I get the tech as I was in SEE for a while before I sold for a pitiful profit lol

MT, greed mate, we are all guilty of wanting more, it's only later you realise what you've done and all part of the learning curve. Sorry to burst your bubble but personally I would be out on the next spike, you'll never get 2p again imo, this is AIM, you might dream that this is THE ONE but it's extremely rare and aim gutter stocks ALL normally drip all the way back to where they started, it's only cash generative companies that will grow and grow, my pure gut instinct going on previous spikes that this will have another go but get to I dunno maybe 1.30-1.50, then you'll start slowly hearing about problems, debt, funding etc, and the drip drip starts again
This is from someone who bought at 0.25 and sold at 0.47 lol, but we're here to give our view and that's mine for what it's worth.
I suppose as an alternative example you could look at a historic chart like say SEE (2-8, 8-3,3-16,16-4) and hope to se a similar scenario play out if you're willing to take the risk, but even that highlights the risk of holding on a spike

hehe :)
I'll have to disguise my buys and sells better next time.
Now if I can just get that 18 again.......

Yep, bottled it lol, was worried it might go NT to sell. A profit but could regret it

Got some good news today :)
Nature Group has been sold to another company above the delisting price of 3p, at 4.5p, this has recoverd the losses I made here and will allow me to just about break even overall, great result :)

Slightly embarrassed to have had a delist in my pf at all as I tend to go for bigger better companies in the main, but it was one in the past that I had researched and thought a good utr share, well that didn't pan out, I had even averaged down and got most of my outlay back on a bounce (and sold half), only to buy them back (cheaper) when Riddler was buying and I thought validating my original reason to purchase, well that was a mistake because they delisted a couple of months later.

All good :)

An interesting call on PEL Filtertips, remember it from the past and it's certianly had a shocker since ! Just done some quick research and the possible return to profitability in 2019 with their current order book looks interesting, spread offputting though.
It's obvious the bank have been and are continuing to lean on them, they sold their freehold recently in order to satisfy their overdraft and the bank immediately reduced the overdraft further. Certainly a risk

Balanced against TLY loss which I sold today, looks like it's going lower. Damn sellers every day, shame had a small profit at one point but needs must and will look for a lower entry

Well PETS went very well, from 125 to 158, top sliced at 144 then sold the rest at 152. Couldn't quite get the top but with 5x the amount I normally put into a trade that's almost the equivalent of a bagger to me :)
Very odd that the shorts haven't moved away from 7.30% through all that time (apparently), but I'll opt out for the moment and see what happens
Taken punts on BILB just under 39 and PHD at 40

MT, the link from Graham_Wales on the TLY bb was useful, I made a comment on the bb today regarding it. Here's the link in a searchable by Vocare form:

Was tempted to sell the ones I already had in order to buy them back cheaper once it was obvious the muted response to the rns, but haven't. Still looks like we might have a seller but sp will hold hopefully like it has recently.
I also need to research further, just a stab on value at present

Nice. Bet he wishes he'd gone all in at 50 a couple of years ago lol.
Yep most of the shares I buy these days are over £50m mcap and fare better, I tend to avoid oilies (sometimes unfortunately) although i do have some AMER, the minnows I get are normally short term these days
