For an AIM punt I think that Ascent (AST) could be rewarding this year too.
Many thanks for this
Jumped in on Tuesday for a punt, have made a nice little weekend away somewhere so far, hoping to up that to a fortnight in the Bahamas next week

Never said where my weekend away was, might be Margate...
I was pleasantly suprised how well it held up against the CLN conversion and it looks as if Hendersons have forward sold at least 50m of the 100m converted. There's always been strong sentiment around AST and with first gas and therefore revenue so close I think there's still room for strong upwards movement over the coming weeks.

I bought some IG Group this morning after results. Kicking myself a little for not doing it earlier a few weeks ago but better late than never.
Anything in that sector is pure punt on the contents of the FCA review. Given the enormous tie in between IG and the FCaa their stock price is being seen as an indicator as to how aggressive the review will be. I have been wanting to dabble in shares for a while but never really had the time but now I am on long term sick I can devote more time into it and plus I need something to do.
So if anyone has any tips or help they could offer me I would appreciate it, like who would you advise me to register with to start buying?

Donkey Apple do you have any views on Premier Oil?
Down 5% almost today... I know the whole market took a kicking and the oil price but still, 5% is 5%.
I had a oil service company that was up 15% or so, and was considering selling but decided to wait for the long term. Now on -5% from my original investment in a short time. Looks like a lot of the service companies have been dropping in the last week or so. Still, lots of upside over many years ahead so just waiting it out and buy more low (I guess it will go lower looking at the rig rate in the US and the resulting impact on the oil price).I'm also a bit confused about a company over here, which has created a new subscription at 2.89. The TR shares are 1 share right = 1 share. The TR share price is currently 1.15 (so 4.04 total). However the real shares are still selling for 6.84. Why would you get such a large difference? It surely makes no sense to buy the real shares given the subscription right share price?

For trading I use IG and Best Invest. BE are cheap (£7.50 to buy and £7.50 to sell). So if anyone has any tips or help they could offer me I would appreciate it, like who would you advise me to register with to start buying?
Research the companies you're interested in by using the info available on the trading platforms and reading the RNS's released by the companies which you'll find on their website under 'Investor Relations'. VOX markets have an app so you can follow companies and they can alert you when a new RNS is released. You can do the same via the companies own website.
Read as much info as you can around the sector/product/economy and use Twitter to follow the co, its competitors and anyone else that may be relevant.
Bulletin boards on London South East and Interactive Investor can be useful places to pick up others research, but always independently verify it yourself.
Look for patterns in the share price. With some stocks it's possible to identify trading ranges. Buy somewhere near the low and sell somewhere near the high. Rinse and repeat. Be watchful of changing trading ranges and updates entry and exit points as appropriate. Create a demo account on either a trading platform or directly on LSE's site and try out your theories with no capital exposure first.
Be patient. Don't rush in to trades. Whenever you think you must buy or you'll miss the opportunity, 99% of the time there will be an opportunity later to get in cheaper. Set an exit price that you're happy with and stick to it. Don't hold on thinking it will keep rising, it's only a profit when you sell and bank the money.
Finally, have faith in your research and don't be influenced by the crowd.
Oh, and don't risk more than you're willing to lose.

Just in case it helps others - try a website called Investegate.co.ukJust type the company name/ticker in the search bar at the top and it'll pull the full RNS history for every company (Annual reports & analyst presentations often need company websites though).
Its free too

Up 6%, good times (although I'm not holding in them!) I've been watching them for a while. Motif bio stage 3 clinical trial finished, presumably no ones skin fell off, hopefully share price will go up today.
Back end of last week I bought into Sea Dragon Energy (SDX) who recently took over from Circle Oil. A recent share issue to pay for a number of acquisitions pushed the price down to 30p p/share but the result is increased assets, no additional debt and increased production capacity. They also have drill results due in a month or so, based on preliminary indications it looks positive. From Friday I'm currently up around 10%, past few days has seen a number of large sells (big organisations selling stakes bought at 30p I'm guessing!).
Reading around and watching/listening to some of the interviews they are aiming to be mid-sized, other 'similar' mid sized companies have market caps of around 100m, theres is currently 40ish so hopefully room for growth.
My second bigger holding is with Polypipe (PLP), more a long termer, interims last year look good and results are due end of March. Hopefully currency fluctuations have worked in their favor (lots of overseas buyers), but looking at the fundamentals things look positive.
Motif bio nearly touched 10% today before settling back a bit, I was hoping it would touch 30p I was going to take the profit. That's probably it until more clinical evidence come through.
PMO took another kicking, think it'll have to go in the don't watch and see what its doing in the summer list.
