I'll try to keep trading more this month, second month in a row I am charged £8.95 a trade by HL, as I didn't do enough trades in the previous month! DOH!

R- DVRG moved up this morning, nice.

Plus bobbling about, just waiting for S's end of day rise.

V

Morning all,

Happy new year!

Sold some SNG at 163 for a nice profit.

Plus had moved up but now fallen back, should do OK on that later on.

The Sunday Times's Jill Treanor sounded a note of caution on the outlook for the FTSE 350's five most bombed-out stocks of 2020.

In descending order from worst to best those were Hammerson, Capita, Cineworld, Petrofac and Carnival.

Shares of the former cratered 82.3% last year while stock in the latter was down by 61.5%.

Analysts at Liberum had a 'hold' recommendation on stock in Hammerson and those at Shore Capital had a similar stance on Capita.

Barclays meanwhile had included Carnival in its list of potential vaccine beneficiaries.

Fitch Ratings on the other hand had recently noted Cineworld could face another 'cash crunch' and Covid-19 had hit Capita's recovery plan.

In any case, the common thread running through all those companies' trading outlook for the next 12 months was the speed of the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines.

Nonetheless, for Treynor "given what might be politely called the NHS's history of struggling with logistics, you would be brave to bet on a smooth ride up."

S - set up a spreadsheet with columns for BUYS - date / who / how many / sp / cost and same for sell. Fill in when quiet after a transaction. All logged ready for tax return, working out profit etc.

BOUGHT SOLD
DATE CO. No. SP Cost real SP Date Co. No. SP Cost Profit

And quicker than writing in a notebook! I have a page in a s/sheet for each company I trade / hold.

Afternoon S - you stopped in mid sentanc

Right.

Markets closed, switch off until next week / next year! Presume the markets open 4th Jan ??

More snow today, but bright and sunny and thawing now.
Collected the HotPot from the butchers earlier ( essential journey / shop in tier 3 ! ) and one for the sis in law, OH will drop of when they go to hopefully visit their mum in the care home this afternoon.

Happy new year to one and all, hope you and your families have a safe new year!

Morning all,

My usual luck, buy Plus and they continue to fall, sell some SNG and they rise next day!

Interesting shares lists!

V

C - Don't worry, it'll get better, you've been at this a lot longer than me, and I ain't lucky!!
I have found AIM shares are very mobile, but I like the volatility ( and on main stream shares ) as it helps day trading; Leaving a lot of capital in a major share, even with good divi's seems to earn less - unless it's Tesla - wish I had bought some in Jan!!!

R - I was in MWG that got taken over/merged with SKIN at 10:1 dilution, but still hold same value so not too much of a problem. They should do well. Are you still in 7dig, I traded them March/April, got bored and sold out, bought back as they rose but got spiked at 3.6p and averaged down, but still about 50% down! Should be up soon I feel ... have a couple 100'k at moment averaged 2.3.

Hi CSDI, I overlooked welcoming you to the brigade. I presume you passed the medical, no flat feet!!!
I expect we will call you C, as we are aiming at a full alphabet!! ( hehehe ). :-)

I don't have massive capital invested here, it's a few 10'k but not 100k+. I wish!
Came here as fed up with poor interest rates.
That's why I get stuck if I buy high price and share falls ..I need to wait a while until it recovers to near cost price. I tried selling at a loss ( that hurts ) and trading back to cover my losses, but I found myself doing same again, buy on a high then market drops.... so I miss the quick in and out trades, day trading etc.

And of course shares change their habits ... I got stuck with CCL, MCRO and CINE way too high, and a couple of others I got for the divi .. took weeks to recover the SP to break even.

There are a few favoured shares here, many people trade CCL, MCRO, and some airlines - IAG, TUI. OCDO and perhaps FEVR were traded too in the past ( indeed I came here from the OCDO board thanks to T & S etc. ).
CINE were traded here, and I think I am only one here in SYME?
A couple of people are in GGP ( hip hip Hooray! ) and SNG ...

A couple of people are in to LOTS of companies, including pharma, testing, mining etc. such as NCYT. And ASC, PLUS etc.

Me, I have GGP, UFO, 7DIG, DVRG, SNG, and currently PLUS. Ohh and COPL.

If you have smaller capital, perhaps the smaller share prices, penny shares would be a good idea, EG SYME at 0.65p ( and that's a high price at moment ) half a million shares for about £3k. Each 0,1p rise in SP is £500. Mine were bought at 0.49, so in profit.
Or low price main shares in the 10's of pence?

I daren't try shorting CFD or spread betting, I would over extend myself and lose loads!!!

DYOR and good luck!

V

What's people thoughts on the new lockdown tiers .. we're back in tier 3.... Eldest in Durham looks like tier 4.

V

S - yes, you're right, PLUS fell back a little, but likely I got in on the low! Probably rise tomorrow!!

Also sold some of the cheap SNG ( 101 p ) at 143p ... so nice profit again today!

I even tried a COPL buy earlier, still about even!

Just trying to cross the trades on HL to get back to the cheap trading price for Jab 21 !!!

V

Got a few PLUS at 1478....

V

S or M - I see Plus have dropped a bit, is it a good time to buy for the evening rally!

V

Morning all,

Anyone menti0oned that the AZ/Oxford vaccine has been approved in UK ?

V

Does your cat do the high legged step thing in the snow? Our big male ginger tried to get across the lawn of snow to scratch the tree ... did a sort of bounce walk to minimise steps in the snow! Then tracked all round the lawn to come back in!

T - Yes, Snow yesterday, still here today all crisp and even!

V

Morning all,

Quick 23% profit on half my SYME holding. High target for the rest, buy them back on a fall!

S - Have the rest of the week off! Well done.

If anyone still gas Diageo, they are on a massive rise! ( M - that you? ) .
Looks like the airlines are flying too! ( groan ).

GLA

V

T - Thanks! Not a massive amount of capital but significant, so not a bad return as you and S mention - I did say when I started I would be OK with over 1% return ( cash taken from savings accounts and ISA's etc. ) , 10% would be great!
Hope the ear is better now. Alternative xmas lunch sounds fine, with crusty bread to dip in!

Seems quite a bit of good news, with EU approving the Brexit deal, and likely Wednesday UK govt will too.
And vaccines in EU speeding up delivery and production.
And Trumpy signed off the Covid stimulus package finally.

Markets on Bloomberg seem to have responded well.

Happy trading tomorrow, I expect rises all round. My pension pot has recovered a lot in last few weeks, which is nice after the large fall back in March and June!

V

Good Day Brigadiers...
Well, Brexit trade deal done, UK got pretty much everything we wanted, compromises were few!
Seems EU leaders happy with it too, only the Wee Krankie moaning it's against Scotland's will ( Brexit / leaving EU already done a year ago, Doh! ).

I'll guess, and hope to not Jinx it, markets UP on Tuesday open!!! And I have few shares that will likely benefit from it!!!!! Unless all go up some % !!

I'll add my thanks to S & T for this BB, and the help and encouragement from them, and others / contributions - L, O, R, and breakfast tips from M ! ;-) and others like Anthony and P. {did I miss anyone ? }

As the rookie, looks like my capital is up 42% since March, which is nice, albeit 60% of that is still sat in GGP!!!
And that's after what I lost on selling too high priced shares ( bought at wrong time! ) lower / to trade about 15%.

Couple of things to look at trading in 2021, to get better. I know what they are!! And set a weekly target, my annual one for a Tesla by xmas fell a bit short.

This is sounding like a management review at work, so I'll sign off for now.

Great chatting to you all and the ups & downs, hope you all ( and families ) have a great Christmas, keep safe and wish you all a happy new year!
Get that wine open!!!

Cheers

The UK:EU deal was "leaked" or at least the markets were aware of it at about 16:10, which was about when ASC jumped up rapidly; I expect other shares jumped too!
