Boom. A new GT86 size chunk of Tesco at 196p. Done. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'll keep an eye on this one. Almost tempted to buy now at 194.50.
Bought a batch the other day at £2.10, I'm still convinced a bit more downside to come so will double the position if it gets to £1.50 or alternately if it takes out £2.30 with volume.



AOK still in GPRO? Nice move last few days.

10% profit thus far. Bought in at 67.00 and will buy more if it dips under 70 again.

I did also buy MBLY in the end, which I'm happier with as a long term prospect.

Still thinking about BMW as a quick ride up to 120 ish


EDIT.. closer to 13% now smile

Bought a handful last time they dipped. Not the brightest move I've made!

Is there any point getting involved with Quindell, now that it has settled down?

I like to keep my portfolio 30% low-risk Div player, 40% 1-12 month growth plays, 30% very high volatility, AIM's, IPO's etc...


I have got a vacancy in the latter, and if people are still adamant QPP should be worth nearer 1000p than 100p, then I might take a gamble on it. Or have most people cashed in and accepted defeat?

In simplest terms, even the biggest of banks cannot withstand the constant battering of fines and remedial actions they're forced to undertake. So I think you have to be realistic about growth and continuing dividend levels.

Having said that, I stick by the theory that it's worth a medium to longer term hopeful punt while the price is depressed - and with limited downside risk. Happy to be in for a few months for any short term gain, or up to seven years for modest appreciation plus dividends. YMMV

Every bit of analysis I read still indicates that it is heavily undervalued. I haven't cashed in but I am pleased that it appears to have stepped out of the limelight a little. It's hard to say but I'm still of the opinion it will correct. It seems to have settled for now although every increase is quickly followed by a steady decrease back to the 150-160 levels.

You'll notice that the BBs have quietened down a fair bit. This is mostly due to a share action group being formed and encouraging people to shy away from the boards. It doesn't seem to have affected things though.

I accepted victory and a 550% rise.

Would I touch them now? Not on your nelly. Almost everything that has happened since I thought they were a reasonable (albeit high risk) gamble has made me question many things surrounding them and some of the figures. If they pull in the numbers they are already booking as profits (is that an alarm bell I hear?) then the share price deserves to rocket. The market cap -v- profit disparity suggests it's not just me that is questioning the profits in areas of the business. Equally, I question the cash float -v- the speed of turning the work in progress into money in the bank and therefore whether the operating capital has long enough to equalise or leave a net gain to not require further share dilution by way of a placement.

Ditto. Bought a fairly big chunk at 250p or thereabouts and they have carried on down the khyber ever since.

I also have a large chunk, think its going to be the long term with them. The RBS I bought at the same time are showing a reasonable profit now.

Could be a small drop in Apple I guess over 'bendgate' and iOS issues, but looks like heavy demand for the new phones and unrealised sales potential in China, maybe a decent buying opportunity.

If that's because of "Bendgate" Apple have survived plenty of similar and given the demand now, let alone future products, I can't see this being more than a blip for the share.

Having said that $95-$97 might be a buying opportunity scratchchin

And, on just one aspect of Apple I've picked up this morning:

Alcaraz Research said:
Investors should keep holding on to their Apple shares. The reality that a lower-spec iPhone 6 can outperform other phones with more RAM and quad-core CPUs only confirms that Apple has the best hardware and software engineers.
(Just part of the summary of a longer article that caught my eye)

I see it tagging $98.60 should find support there. Still failing to see any reasons to sell Apple here unless you just looking to get out and get back in a bit cheaper in the shortterm i.e a few trading sessions. Longer term I just see this going higher, struggling to see a fundamental reason to sell too.

Bendgate is nothing story the same story was there for both the iPhone 5 and 5s , everything is lining up for Apple at the moment. iPhone 6 is going to be a massive hit, add to that that they've actually increased the ASP, in effect have increased their margins on iPhones.

IPads and MacBooks next month, Watch in Jan, they're on a roll, Apple Pay in it's self could be massive, if you take a look at the actual tech behind it, combined with touch id it could have implications that go far past just a payment service.
