I got a little bit too excited about an AIM share when I first started investing... and now it would cost me more money to sell the shares, than what they're worth.
Remember kids, stay away from AIM, and when things start going wrong, get out.

Wow!

[Greshamst]

I started off smaller, but my original holding went up by 100% and then lots of positive RNS' came out and I added significantly over a few years (greedy).

Anyone else following oil related stuff, specifically companies involved in things like offshore drilling and/or the uranium market and related companies?

Not following as such but Wentworth Resouces have now monetised their drilling operation and starting to reap the rewards of the income from gas production. Should be upwards from here but DYOR

I'm in Clontarf, bit of a waste of time so I'll hold.

Trinity oil Explo & Prod which is steady, I bought after a fair drop and it went a bit further down now back up level pegging hopefully it will keep going.

Mosman oil and gas bought after a 20% one day fall, still in the doldrums but at a lower price than usual so I can sit of out.

At least with a few different "pots/shares" I can take 'real cash' on profits and sit on paper losses until they recover, can't see any point selling on losses at the moment to reinvest as I don't need the cash for anything.

My FA was yawping on about 1 client who turned 60k into about 1k think it was a one egg basket though.

I don't touch smaller oily's, pharmas and very little AIM these days - too many experiences akin to Gresham's.

I gave a tip to a guy i know and he put 10k in, at one point it was about 600% up and at that point i cashed out and advised him to do the same. He was convinced by reading the boards, RNS', etc that i was playing it far too safe and that he should hold on. He pumped even more money into it and had great plans of expanding his business, etc.

About 2 weeks later lost the lot.

He blamed me and still does to this day. I rarely, if ever, give tips any more as a result.

Anyone else buying recent dips in tech giant stocks like Facebook, Amazon, Salesforce?

All have had a run of bad press recently, but fundamentally nothing has changed in their businesses.

I'll bite my balls off if facebook doesn't rocket - I have a $10k CFD on them at 10x leverage at the minute, and that alone made me $2500 today. Sky made me another $480 - again, a $10k CFD at 10x leverage.
Not totally sure on Sky, but Facebook will be back up towards $200 soon - currently at 168.82.
Pretty much a guaranteed money maker, though it may take a few weeks.

Does anyone know whats sparked the increase in Norwegian Air Shuttle shares? I bought some early last week and they have increased significantly since - totally lucky on my part as I was just testing the water really as they are the first shares I have bought.

[xx99xx]

I suspect the rise was on the back of IAG's interest in buying the company.

I thought that too, although Norwegian have come out and said they have no plans to sell to IAG - maybe its a case of no smoke without fire!

Yes, came on the back of IAG buying around 5% with a view to open negotiations for a buyout. Jumped from around 160kr to 300kr I think. SEB bank was suggesting a possible buy out could be 400kr a share. However now it's just a gamble, as if the deal is "off" they'll probably drop quite a bit too.

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that. The bad press has brought about the dip, but nothing has fundamentally changed. The only thing that might have come from the scandal is a large drop in users... which didn't happen. I felt like the drop in users is priced in.. but as it didn't happen... the price must head back to where it was (and beyond) very soon.

The same with Trump / Amazon as well, 24 hours of bad press and the Twitter warrior bashing them drops the price, but the business hasn't changed.

Had a good steady increase of late. Kicking myself for selling half my stack to put into crypto.

Anyone invested in PHE?

Seems like an interesting business.

Yes, very interesting I bought 29,368 shares in 2012 at 16.9p/share. Sold them last week for 0.5p/share. Thankfully, I was able to offset the loss against gains on other shares.

Having said that, they do seem to have resolved a number of financial issues that they had five years ago, and have been coming up with some interesting waste management ideas. Might be worth a punt at the current price, but do your research.

Poops, sorry to hear that. Possibly to good to be true then, cheap electricity from rubbish.

[elanfan]

Interesting that this should pop up now. Powerhouse have just issued another raft of shares to raise clos3 to a £1M for further development. Issue was oversubscribed they plan to be cheapest suppliers of hydrogen and power. Apparently the equipment has a small footprint and can be located in and around existing business. Using unrecycleable plastics and tyres sounds a cracking business plan to me.

Looking wort( a punt and hold long term at o.oo5p each

[Kingdom35]

Genel looking good, up 25% since ive been in little under a month ago :-)
