Was anyone in UKOG?

Another AIM share I like, although very much a 'jam tomorrow' share like a lot of AIM, is Flowgroup.
They make boilers that generate electricity as they heat water, that you can either use to cut down your electricity bills, or sell back to the grid. The company pay you a rebate every month that effectively makes the new boiler free. Units have been tested and approved, and are being installed in May and news is coming out soon about a deal to sell them in europe and America. Currently at 30p, broker views are 90p. If the US and europe deals kick off, potential to be £1-1.50 in a year or 18 months.

Stop loss question please chaps.
Should you always use this to avoid emotional hanging on to declining shares (It will recover soon I am sure scenario) or is it a tool of experience to be used selectively.
I had some good results last year but cant bring myself to cash in my failures (ECR & SBRY you mock me) as I am not experienced enough - so do I take the call out of my hands?

It depends. having a tight-ish stop loss wiped me out on an extremely successful short oil position, whereas I would not have executed it manually if I were watching the market at the time.Should you always use this to avoid emotional hanging on to declining shares (It will recover soon I am sure scenario) or is it a tool of experience to be used selectively.

With that scenario as a disclaimer I am still a fan of discipline and stop losses. But I think it just gets easier with experience anyway, you stop losing sleep over the losses (provided you went in with more than just a gambling plan to begin with) and in most cases i am actually happy to crystallise a loss and move on than keep watching it bleed my bank.

It's an emotive subject and to be honest the answer is very dependent on both your trading style and your trading profile. Should you always use this to avoid emotional hanging on to declining shares (It will recover soon I am sure scenario) or is it a tool of experience to be used selectively.

What I would say is that if someone is actually looking to use stops to cover for the failing of not being able to close a loss making position themselves then there are big issues at play that will spell trading disaster.
The most important thing to be able to do when trading is dump a position when the criteria change. Inability to get rid of failed positions guarantees that you will always be a net loser.

Taylor Wimpey shares have been doing well, ex div with div of 1.32p tomorrow, then about 7.5pish in a months time for special div.
I took a very silly punt a while ago on Afren and down about £600 on that - worth a try though and I knew it was a risk..... Lesson learned and all that as some colleagues went in start of the year and tripled their investment when the potential takeover was in the offing and I missed out, lesson being don't get greedy

Gone for a small position in EGRX (NASD) - they're a small cap Pharma that are producing injectable versions of existing drugs. Their IPO tanked but their 1st drug (a JV with The Medicines Company and Sandoz Inc) has captured 28% of the market share. Long term hold but this one definitely has potential.
Just wanted to update this a year and a bit on. They have been quite busy !They recently signed a license agreement with TEVA pharmaceuticals, they have FDA exclusivity for their Hypothermia drug for 7 years and have just filed a patent for their rapid infusion Bendmustine in the treatment of leukemia.
Got in at $13 and they've been on a massive rise ever since and are now just shy of $50. I think they still have a way to go as they have trials starting on ryanodex (for exertional heastroke) which could be an absolutely massive market as there is no drug currently that treat heatstroke in a soluble form. Definitely holding onto this one to see how their pipeline pans out...

They make boilers that generate electricity as they heat water, that you can either use to cut down your electricity bills, or sell back to the grid. The company pay you a rebate every month that effectively makes the new boiler free. Units have been tested and approved, and are being installed in May and news is coming out soon about a deal to sell them in europe and America. Currently at 30p, broker views are 90p. If the US and europe deals kick off, potential to be £1-1.50 in a year or 18 months.

If you do a google search instead of a load of plumbers wanting to fit it you get a load of financial pages and share price talk.
It doesn't sound very likely. Why would the trend ever be towards local power generation? i.e. there's a reason why we would move to electric cars and centralised energy from a few sites rather than having energy released from fuels across millions of local combustion engines.
You don't get something for nothing from physics so why not just make a more efficient boiler?
