150% return so far on SOLG for me.
Pity I only put a £1k gamble on it. Still it may well tank big time.

Damn, only now at 700%

I sold out this morning!


What a rollercoaster.

I hope to buy back in when they get back to 7p again.

Yeah they went to 85p at one stage, not a bad buy for 5p!
Im still in, but will keep an eye out.

helluva profit!

from gold to oil, im gutted i didnt buy into RKH or DES a couple of months back who are enjoying similar spikes following a recent discovery. Still, I opted for DPL who, although having dropped recently, are now climbing back and, i think, have some potential in the next 12 months

Another oiler I picked up on over the weekend is Cadogan Petroleum, or CAD. They have licenses in Ukraine which have been in dispute for a while, now resolved, and being made official on 6th Oct. To me they look undervalued, so have bought in to see if I can't take a bit of a quick profit. Nothing major though.

This is in no way a tip, and I'm just as likely to have it wrong, but just one I noticed while looking for potential buys.

Looking interested in these more and more.

After a fair bit of research I cant find much about the disputed licenses being resolved? Just wondered your latest thoughts / any info?

[dirty boy]

Interested in CAD too

Will have a look at their financial statements later, have downloaded them for some bedtime reading!

[KenBlocksPants]

Just reading the III threads on CAD, seem to be quite up to date and full of opinion.

Rockhopper forum is going mad there.

I have a couple of grand to play with in terms of shares so if I can be 'newbie' on this thread and ask:

- who do people trade with?
- for those with £xxxx tops to play with , what volumes are you covering per company?
- Everyone is always a winner in shares/betting online, any horror stories and lessons for newbies?

cheers + thanks in advance

i trade online with share.com, its easy peasy
i started with under 10k and was invested in 4/5 companies.
research.. and dont jump on bandwagons.

I decided it was worth a punt on CAD.L, should be interesting to see how they perform.

I use Hargreaves Landsdown, both personally, and for our club.

Fees are about average, but it's the other facilities built in, like SIPP and ability to buy into funds aswell.

Used to use HSBC's own platform, but H-L are much better.

Just found Pistonheads.com today and trade sometimes through Sharecentre.

advice:

PROTECT YOUR CAPITAL. That is the goldenr rule. Without capital you can't trade, simple.

Watch the general mkt always. A falling stockmarket will drag ALL stocks down eventually.

Invest sectorally ie some people simply focus on gold or oil and gas. They focus and they learn all they can about the industry and the companies involved. Knowledge truly is power.

Be patient (that is vital) and dont chase stocks.

Hargreaves Landsdown

Just had a look at these, looks like a pro setup, hopefully will suit a newbie like myself!

Only shares I have are BP at the moment............! At least I bought at £3.89 (Aug 2009 employee share option scheme) Maybe I should have bought more when they bottomed at just under £3?

Could you give weekly/monthly FTSE predictions?

I dont think I could Noel, it would involve too much guess work so I would be relying on luck

All I can do is use EWT to create an "if, then, else" situation, which in my opinion which takes the element of guesswork out of my trading. If I take GKP as an example- when it was going up strongly there was a possibility of 160p (from memory) but there was also a possibility that it could retrace, so at 130 I tried to sell to remove the risk, but it was 10 minutes before the end of the day and the kind folks at barclays didnt accept my trade, over the next week or so the price action confirmed that the likelyhood was that the price goes down to 62p, and after that continue up to 190p

So while in that situation I was not able to "predict" a precise path that the price would follow, I had a reason to buy/sell at certain points

The only time I feel completely happy and risk free is when a share/index is in what is called "wave 3", these are the most consistent, predictable and reliable- my point being I dont want you to get the impression that im saying that using EWT I can make risk free easy money, its just a way of putting the odds of any trade more in my favour than they would be if I were just guessing

GGG - have had some for some time, then it started motoring this am. Bought a few more and it's continued.

AAAM - have also been doing well recently.

I picked up some JPB, as an easy access to Brazil. Which I think should do really well in the future, they've got the World Cup and Olyimpic games coming to them on top of their natural resources.

Of course my timing is mostly useless I should have been in and out of a few at "the right times" and could have done well... too hesitant!! APG and BDEV..

Also looking at BPC, as mentioned here and increasing a couple of others, JPB and possibly GMG - they seem too low atm but I am sitting on a loss with them - so trying to average down.

[Republik]

My portfolio reads as follows:

SVS @ 177.66
BDV @ 66.22
TW @ 49.17
RCG @ 83.00
LLOY @ 103.14
RBS @ 29.4
SBRY @ 332.60
MRW @ 298.75
CAD @ 20.99

A few up and a few down. Also a few safe bets with the supermarkets.

[eps]

Interesting, what is TW?

I've got some SBRY and MKS... Sort of tucked them away and some LAD and NG. I tend to (now) re-invest any dividends straight back in to shares, hopefully compounding the longterm benefits.

[Republik]

TW is Taylor Wimpey. I bought them when the house market crashed massively a few years ago. The hope being they would eventually pick up, even to this day they haven't increased. Maybe in 2 or 3 year more years time they will be back up to £1.00+.
