T - Interesting on ASC ... I'll have to see what funds I have spare! I'd think at least 500 would be needed to make a reasonable profit a trade, 1000 would be better! As it's fallen - great results / increase in sales but caution looking forward..... - may drop, trickle along sideways, or resume growth. I'll watch and see.

Good luck with the IAG, looks like all airlines bar EZJ are down again today, hope there is some good news on rapid testing etc. Looks like oopp north near revolution about the very high alert level ( got that on the NHS app here! Changed from High this morning ) and closing pubs etc.

Afternoon everybody, quiet here!

I'm back with the car, all good.

Even made nearly enough to pay for the work on the way on the train as one of my AIM shares - UFO/Alien Metals suddenly shot up from 0.84p to 1.25p. BOOM!
I had left a limit sell at 1p just in case (not expecting anything! ) ... which activated about 10am. 31% profit, but missed out on the next 32% profit !!
CEO did a podcast and confirmed the expected JV should be finalised this week, couple of RNS' due ..... if they fall back may be worth another go!

What's the phrase ... buy on the rumour sell on the news?

How's everyone else's day going? Sunny here today and on my travels.

V

T - no, you didn't come across like that at all, I was just pontificating!!
V

Morning all

T - I'm not against your system, I'm mixing and matching at the moment! A couple of BOOMs on AIM and I'll be back on the FTSE markets when they settle down, too many holdings ( not as many as S !! ) and probably too few shares in a holding for easy profit on small SP movements.

S - Ohh dear, which part of the Tesla has gone .. the rear motor? I always take the advice on here, mainly T and yourself I guess, seriously, look into it, try it, and if it fits GREAT. If not, modify it. I DID only really start trading shares as 1) I was fed up with the drop on interest rates to circa 0.01%, and 2) Captain T's guides back on the OCDO board! And your remarks on some shares which were AIM shares, some worked ( SNG ) some I didn't get to work ( NCYT in the previous months! ) and Plus, and found a few AIM gems on my own e.g. GGP, and maybe a couple of others.

T mentioned avoid the share boards if possible, I tend to peruse them when I am sat here watching the share price/charts, although with the volume of posts - 600 - 800+ on some - I just read the last 3 or 4 pages.
I have spotted lots of rampers and derampers, and recognised the more sensible posters with their research, some are fantastic. But as you say, others get over excited, some over-pessimistic. I don't buy just 'cos some one there says so, or sell if they say so, but it IS useful as you say for hints on news, other shares to look at, and likely short term changes. Also use the LSE boards for the RNS and share news and financial diaries.

So use sensibly, when the fun stops, Stop!

Have a good evening, I may be missing in action tomorrow as I have to go pick up the car after a big service and clutch, by train ( well 3 trains ) in this high level lockdown area!

Be good,

V

T - I can see your point.

I like to see the volatility, and as they are cheap 8p!! then it's a hundred K GGP shares for £8000 and 8p to 27p would be ... £19000 ... in a couple of months ... while trading their spike and shakes would have brought in less due to the slow moves until the BOOM!

And it's exciting when they do, and if the markets are not playing the game...

I DO know they can be fickle, and can plummet / vanish, then so can the main market shares - lets cay CCL, £30, MCRO - £12+, CLLN, etc.

I think I look at them 'cos I hear about them, they are cheap, there is often news, and they zoom. Other times they just sit flat.

I missed out on a couple already this year, I was trying to trade them, they were not moving, I got bored and sold, then 3 months later they are 5x, 7x, 10x + . ( eg GDP, GGP, SNG, 7Dig, SYME, ). At least I got GGP and SNG ! Ohh yeah and SYME and 7Dig and UFO.

But I did same with say NCYT - traded didn't hold, now look at 'em! Pets at home too. ASC - I traded them once or twice at around 2300 !!! If I held, double money.
BUT I am now looking more at say ASC every day after the financials come out ( and I have capital back from sales! ) so 100 shares is 1-2K a day!
Or the good old days of predictable movements on MCRO, CCL or others like OCDO.

Anyway, I am still learning, missed out / got burnt on both markets, so I'll play it by ear.
Each to their own, I mix and match until I settle!

V

T - oops, did I forget to mention the price earlier? Yeah, was 220, and just got more at 204p! So average down these last 2 lots!

AIM shares do seem to be docile, then shoot up a LOT, and fall as quickly after.

The example I have a couple of weeks ago - bought at .49p, at open shot to 0.7, reached 0.76p ( 50% profit ) couldn't sell. Could sell at mid 0.6's, left it expect a bounce ... fell back to 0.45 by lunchtime!!
Still in the 0.5's now so a slight profit but waiting on client announcement. HA, it's fallen to sub 0.49 now so a slight loss!!

Same with SNG awaiting several announcements on 15/10.

And GGP waiting on JV partner updates, grade findings reports, maiden resource etc.

So lots to wait for, risky to trade / spike and shake but need to do something to keep me awake!!!

V

Hi T,
I'd sold less than 1/2 my SNG yesterday so wouldn't have missed out too much, but you know what it's like! The boards hinting approval / announcement due any day , 300+ this week etc. so as I was going to hold them anyway got them back, a bit dearer than I hoped! Sort of followed your cheat sheet in that opened up, quick fall by around 9:30, back up by 11:00 ...

No, avoided the spike - still don't like to buy back in for more than I sold them for! - and as it dropped towards 220 i was ready, then it rose a bit so I bought at 220. Then it fell to sub 200 for a few minutes about 9:45 ... looks a bit suspicious but hey ho... they came back up, although now falling again ( top up time! )

Looks like all the airlines and CCL are down today, looking at my watchlist looks like many areas all down ... must be some sentiment - maybe as you said the J&J vaccine trial halted, or maybe the 3 tier lockdown starts tomorrow!
maybe unemployment figures?

Ohh well, watch and see what we can do!

Cheers

V

Afternoon all,

Been here all morning, watching the SP's and a bit of research... Bought back yesterdays sold SNG but a bit too early ( FOMO ) and totally missed the quick shake around 9:50 am ...
Topped up a couple of the tiddlers to average down,

Otherwise a quiet morning.
Wet, cold and dull here so far.

A simple thing people forget if they would flout the restrictions when they hear a vaccine is due .... you can't get a vaccine jab IF you have the virus! You already have what causes the antibody production, albeit in a more active / dangerous form!! So no point and likely to make illness worse!!!

V

T - thanks, waiting on a shake now. Expectations are SNG will fly - 250, 300 shortly. Broker note suggested £9.90 soon!
I guess all waits on IF/When govt. approve / buy the treatment ( for covid, COPD and other viral infections ).

V

Well, that was a surprise. Just got an email - your SNG limit order deal has been placed! Was 210 when I went to make a coffee, came back I have sold some at 223.5p!
Price looks like 212 now, but HL stopped giving me live process on SNG so no idea on price.
If I was here I would have watched it rise and keep watching until it slowed before selling, cancel limit sell as needed!

The limit sell was an optimistic one set for the month when SNG were 160 ish!
OK, live price back, 232 ... missed 10p/share with no live price!!!!

Boris in parliament speech at 18:00

Government medical experts just been on TV - showing scary graphs on increase in covid by age .. shows spreading and working its was yp the age brackets. Hospital admissions with covid increasing. Nightingales have been activated. PPE for at least 4 months.
Vaccine mentioned - as in NO vaccine or cure. Dexo mentioned but not SNG001 !!

Boris outlining new rules at 1530 today.

I see BA boss Cruz has "left".

GLA

Morning Brigadiers,
Cold and wet here, welcome to winter!

S - Pest, Pets .. probable freudian slip! Once did the same at work about the sister company who we bought services, but as we were smaller they put us at lower priority, and mailed the managers about our fiends next door... ( instead of friends! ).

Nice to see some blue today, SNG up, Marstons up, and a couple of my tiddlers in profit a little but on a rise!

S - I think you have the 71 million NCYT shares!! Well done on the trades and fantastic profits.. well picked stock came good.

V

T - I'd take that 50% reward, but wary / scared of reprisals against pest and property or the family!
So would just mention to them / ask an innocent question and hope they get the hint!

V

S - Yes, F1 is on a lot at the moment, to try and fit in 17 races in 6 months or less. So there are races every other weekend, and sometime 2 or 3 weeks on the trot. And the support programmes on Sky - interviews, previews etc. and practice Friday, practice and qualifying on Saturday, build up and race on Sunday then review!
Actually, to hold a TV broadcast licence, each channel has to provide a certain number of hours of new programming a week / period, so Sky F1 pad it on the F1 channel.

Yeah, parachute or pinch his wheels, slow Hamilton down! He'd only moan the FIA were out to get him!!!
Always gets a bit boring when a team / driver win most weeks ... I got bored in the 80's when McLaren won 15 of 16, stopped watching for a few years; Then Schumacker wins all the time, then Vettel at Red Bull ( done nothing since haha! ) now Hamilton in the best car ... put him in a midfield car and see how he does!
Lots of arguing about money, standards, rules, politics .... provide one car / engine and lets see who can drive best, no mickey mouse pitstops and need to use different tyres.

Rant over!

T - Whoops, hope it isn't charcoaled!

T - Liverpool is 10 miles from me .... and as in same county most likely all these restrictions coming in tomorrow affect me & mine!

S - get a new car! Needn't be a Tesla!! Keep the Corsa for hobby repair and the odd drive.

At least get the wood delivered!!!

V

T - totally agree with your first paragraph.
I have mentioned them before, but neighbours opposite keep having their married kids visiting - who live 10 - 15 miles away each, the lad to help replace the soffits and faschias on the house over a week or more, and the girl to visit with the grandkids.
Not of the same household, not in any support bubble .....

Next door neighbours - 2 daughters in their 20's and 2 parents probably in 50's, in and out all the time, cars picking up and dropping off the girls and not at work times, so likely out for a meal or drink, strange cars parking on their dive several times a week ( friends, relatives??? ).
No idea what they are doing, but we are in the NW and under the tighter lockdown - can't mix households even outside, can go to e.g. gym or church but can't talk to/socialise with friends there...

Annoying as the other half works in a school and is being SO careful - steri wipes on car keys, door handles etc. when she comes home, shower and change, etc. and next door just go out with others / have mixed visitors!
If you / I report the neighbours, they could get nasty and end up with a fued, not something the other half wants!

So "live and let live" and grumble quietly...
