I've been watching Cap-xx (cpx) for some time and looks like they've had the re rate they deserve of late... Very interesting technology and there is a lot of buzz about the tech they hold a lot of patents about in my industry. Could also be a big beneficiary of the auto industries move to electric in the years to come. Why is it all the shares I pick to watch but don't buy go up and all the ones i invest in just meander along?

Thank you Fred, purely on your post, after 10 min subsequent research, popped a few pounds onto Cap-xx the day of your post (26th July), topped up a few days later.



Still owning holding UKOG with rollercoaster hope

Agree I picked a few CAPX up a little later too, but still doing well and imho only going one way from here...

BOO.L continuing the charge on the back of some positive news. Back over £2.50 now.

SXX.L taking a battering... still not sure why but maybe I better not jinx it again!

MTFB.L down 1% this morning BUT it sounds like it may be due a turn with some motivated sellers clearing out. Will it stay down at 26p before BOO.L gets towards £3 (when I may well sell)?

I'm glad I didn't get taken in by the hype when NW launched his funds. Hargreaves Landsdown in particular were promoting them very heavily.

I must confess I put a £10k chunk his way via HL and was caught in the sales pitch.

Fair play to him for sticking his head above the parapet and stating he was wrong though. More respect for that than going to ground.

He's still and always will be a great investor. I personally don't share his sentiments on companies like Purple Bricks.

Boohoo storming ahead and will hopefully climb further until results on the 27th! You'd think 265p would be achievable pre results, especially seeing as it pretty much hit 255p last month based just on the hope there might be a trading update in August as there was last year.

280p is my exit target as I need to free up the cash. It also see's me buying the Rolex I've been after on some of the profits!

Deepsea? At least Rolex hold most of their value

Submariner, with the date.

Been looking for an out for a while and ideally would like to be out by Christmas.

An expensive ring to buy also in prep for a trip to Australia in November! (The Rolex is my treat to myself to balance things out! lol!)

When I first met my now wife (15 years ago) I bought her a watch for her birthday at a shop that sold high end models as well. Her watch was something like £350. As it was my birthday the same day I happened to see the Cartier Roaster Chronograph and i swooped. They gave me her watch for nothing

How on earth did you get away with that? Mrs BC would have wanted a Cartier at least.

At the time we had only been together 4 months. It wasn't going to happen

I'm personalising it, which may be wrong from an investment perspective. It may work for the lower valued properties, and no doubt there is money to me made there

Glad, hope nobody picked up any of the other ste I've talked about on here But this and IQE have been two of my best earners this year after missing BOO and UKOG its good to know I can at least spot decent companies and tech involved in my industry.

Cap xx up again today, I hope its not just some daft IPhone 8 rumour.

funny, outside of this thread entirely i've been investing in CPX since 5p and am now sitting on a healthy profit. Well done chaps.

SXX.L finally on a nice bounce and some more positive sentiment and another move up for MTFB.L

BOO.L seems to be holding the recent gains. Thought we'd see more sellers at £2.50 to take some profit but Deutsche putting a £2.90 target will have helped the support.

Looking for some positive RNS and moves up from all of them in the next few weeks. May try and pick up more MTFB.L and SXX.L (in that order) if BOO.L 'moves first', to lock in some profit there.

The americans seem to be waking up to MTFB

$28 is equivalent to approx £1 per share.

Deutsche bank have restated their target for BOO still 290p & Barclays at 265p.
