GGPers ..... fantastic results, expect GGP sp to fly this week!

S - you were right, SNG under the 175p offer price now....

V

For GGPers, don't forget the Newcrest reports due 21:30 UK time .....

LOL T - posted / types at same time I guess!

The LSE charts seem to have flatlined ( stuck! ) , the board here is v.quiet.
A horrible day indeed T, all bar TUI and OCDO on my watchlist of maybe 30 companies are all in the red!

Probably change when M & S get back and start trading heavily again, I am sure S alone keeps the markets moving with the number of trades!!!

V

Argh, my house comments should have been 1984 and 1989, not 2000's !!!

O - Well done for you son on the house, must be doing well or expect to do well, nice position to be in.
Following on from S's 1st house post, mine was when I left uni/home to work away - Blackpool! - and bought a 3 bed semi with drive, garage, front and rear gardens, for £21500. 2004 I got stung when interest rates hit around 16% !! I think I was on about £6000/year then .. mortgage was over 1/2 wages!
Sold when I moved jobs back nearer home 5 years later for £49000. 2009.

I think we have a series of events to release the markets :-
USA election
Brexit finally leaving with no deal ( or a good deal )
Ending lockdowns

I have tried a few "covid recovery shares" but they don't seem to move, or not very fast, so sold, often at a loss to recoup capital!

Back to trading a couple of shares for me! ( keeping GGP, and probably SNG for a while tho! )

V ( shaped recovery! )

T - no problem my man! Hope that company CAN make 100 million tests a day!
I read in the express the Canaries are going to require a covid free test certificate within the 48-72 hours before landing, or the tourist will have to pay for a test there and isolate until there is a result, and isolate 14 days if positive.
But yes, more and more noise about rapid testing, hope it come soon and works well. With or without an app !
But on bad news, seems the immune response from recovered patients doesn't last too long! So how well will a vaccine response last? Likely more like a Tetanus, with repeat boosters. Or seasonal flu, although that mutates far more
than this covid thing.

Morning all, or was when I was writing this - LSE board hasn't shown any new messages today until an hour ago!

T - not intending to upset you on MCRO - I am aware you have a sizeable holding for that purchase, and at a higher price than I had them at, I was using it as an example of the get more shares strategy doesn't always work, as you point out in your reply. I have probably lost twice what I made on MCRO by trading them as they fall and getting stuck with overpriced shares as they level off somewhat lower! May take a while to get back to £7, until they start to rise I am out of MCRO ( as I stopped using CL when I spiked myself there too! ).

O - I came here when the banks/building societies dropped the interest rates to 0.01%, o.o5% ... would have been happy o make a couple of % over the year, but it's been better than that generally! I opened a Nationwide start to save account, and won the quarterly draw of £100 in the 4th month! Winning that £10k in Feb 21would be nice..... then pull the money out and lose 6 months interest .... !!

V

T - Yes, I found that with more than a couple of shares, I think I had 9 or 10 at some points, and trying to watch the charts, watch the SP, read the BB's I missed out on many opportunities. Hence why I said a couple of week ago I'll go back to using one share to trade, maybe 2. Also with many share holdings, each is less number held than ideal!
Looking at todays ASC chart, I only see 1 sell and one buy... I still have this aversion for selling at a loss as I don't know which way it will go after the sell... or buy! I was doing fine in May, but seem to have lost it at the moment in the funny markets!!!
Know what you mean about the spikes/shakes and accumulate more shares, but my 5000 MCRO at £7 were worth more than my 10000 at £2.50! And sold these at a loss. Of course if I waited until the price went up to say £4 I would be quids in, but I see MCRO not getting over £3 this year, nor CCL over £11 for 6 months +.( and the CCL were £14.80 in June!!! Quite a big loss, my fault, bought on a spike during trading! ).

S - Yes, still in SNG, ave about 190, ( my cheap SNG went when I was trading them in the 200-220's and bought back in as they fell to 170 ) and subscribed to the issue at 175. They are due to recover then zoom next few weeks.

NCYT seem to have had a profit taking day today, I can see why half a Tesla went missing!

GGP looking good, and again expected to shoot up Wednesday onwards.

V

T - thanks for that. I was hoping for a quick in and out once or twice a day!!!
Seems volatile, so it'll be fine.

CCL, FEVR and OCDO seem likely trade shares too?

V

Morning all,

Wet and windy here.
Looks an OK morning, bit varied on the watchlist, half up half down.
Nice to see GGP on the rise, sold the small holding in the ISA at 24.5 this morning for a profit, nice since bought at bit high SP
a few weeks ago! Will buy back if they drop back under 20.
Wonder when ASOS will wake up!

R - The link didn't work for me, but a quick search found it. I record my trades in a simple excel s/sheet so data is there, pretty much in their format - date, number, SP, total, a page for each share. Reading the HMRC info and looking at the form, seems like "simple" no. trades, money in, minus costs inc commission, stamp, buy total! I'll have a play with it today. 19/20 tax year will be a good practice since I only started trading in March!

T - Nice earnings available on ASC .... even If I only get 1 of 3 spikes and dips right!

V

T - We must have a share millionaire here!!

I was thinking the other day when NCYT hit £10 if any one was holding 100,000 shares from the sub £ days, million worth! And if had 1,000,000 shares .... WOW

V

O - welcome back! XTC, I saw them in Liverpool's Eric's club many years ago, but still making plans for Nigel; wonder what Mr. Farrage will do for us? Ponzi scheme??

S - yes, Brigade Tesla company car would be nice, zero benefit tax too! LOL

T - Hope the tests, vaccines etc come along soon.

I'm with O as I was doing OK until early June, barely stayed level since then with some losses!

How long can you carry forward CGT losses!

Cheers

V

T - that's been my experience the last couple of months ... slow / not moving shares, especially below my buy in price!

Yes thanks, in a bit of profit on ASC so far, bit wary early on but OK now!
Sold my MCRO yesterday, today up nearly 20p, Mars up 2p, they had been sat there since June? so better spent on ASC !
Only needed 30p on MCRO and 5p on Mars to cover costs!!

V

Morning all,

T - Good news on vaccine then!

V

Hmmmm 4500 4370 4120 3570 .... lets hope not!

ASC AGM and annual reports out 20 Nov. good news or bad? Buy or sell before!

V

S - you multi-tesla bagger you! Well done!!! As T says, please DO take some profit. If you bought more NCYT today, do you expect them to rise well above 1000p?

My profit on GGP varies 45 - 55% depending on price, but as I traded my 7p ones and now hold 16p-20p GGP shares, not as much as I could have had! SNG down awaiting news...

T - thanks for that on ASC, it's not gone quite how I expected from watching it for a few weeks, ( last trade was at 2600 !! ) so the chart chappy's assistance may well help. And if as you say there was a huge buy it should unleash tomorrow.

Cheers

V

I'd think S can be the preferred supplier of lease Tesla's to the Brigade!!!!

I'll have a watch of the 4:00 briefing ...
