It’s been a shaky ride for my Cable and Wireless but in the end holding on proved the correct thing to do. In previous years I would have bought in on the slump when Tata bought in but in the current environment I’ve not the nerve to trade these kinds of situation. The market is […]

It’s frustrating when two of your favourite stocks are falling and you already have enough stock. Becoming undiversified is a lethal mistake. As such, I have enough Trinity Mirror (TNI:L) and enough RM (RM:L) Trinity Mirror is very risky because there might be something very nasty under the hood – surely there has to be […]

It’s very hard to write a blog when you don’t fancy buying any stock. Stocks look ugly to me at the moment in the same way as people look ugly in a packed underground train. My portfolio has been, and is being, kicked – which is to be expected as it is a very high […]

The markets don’t like the fact that the FED reckons it is not about to do anymore stimulus in addition to the Himalayan levels it has already created. It could of course just be the beginning of the summer slump or, as I model it, yearly global wealth fund trade surplus rebalance. In any event […]

I’m kicking myself for not selling Cable and Wireless for a 100% profit. Even at 80%+ profit it is shear greed that keeps me in. I should sell but I’m trying to hang in. If the takeover happens I’ll end up with a 150% profit, so its not irrational to hold out, even so the […]

I can’t sit around and not buy stock, but it’s a hard task at the moment to find something interesting. So it’s ironic I’m buying Shell today. It is perhaps some kind of condemnation of the market that a company so huge and so pivotal can have a 7 p/e and a 5% dividend. For […]

We are now in a little bear sequence and it’s faintly irritating to watch the profits bleed. Even more annoying is the fact I’m not finding many new shares of interest, which is the investing equivalent of watching a second division football match in the rain which turns out a nil-nil draw. If we go […]

Sometimes I wish I could watch the markets more, so instead I’m using ADVFN alerts more and more. I set an alert for a Dixon’s break out and it triggered this morning, so I’ve topped up. I’m starting to be quite a lot more invested now, so I don’t feel on the side lines anymore. […]

It’s a period of calm in the market not that you’d think so if you read the papers. There is not a lot I fancy buying and when I go hunting I only turn up what I already own. This is frustrating as I still have a lot of cash flouncing around wanting to find […]
