Nice 18% rise on the Whitbread shares I bought last year, after Coca Cola bought Costa Coffee from them. Will take the special Dividend and then dump.

That's a very healthy profit! Congrats.
Apple just seem to keep rising, albeit slowly - but half or one or two percent a day does me rightly.
They will soon be having their press event, where they will no doubt introduce a new phone "Look, we've added an extra 4 cameras and doubled the price!" - but it's the traditional "and one more thing!" they announce after showing off the phones, that interests me... it could kill the share price or bounce it way up. I wonder what it'll be - another phone (maybe FIVE cameras!) or a new Ipad which Apple devotees will have to have, no matter the price...

I have been enjoying the apple rise - bought approx $181 a share. Having been hovering over the sell - mainly due to as you say what could be released and if its bad news.

Although tbh if its bad news I could get a few more. If I hold shares a long time it ends up not worth it - if I sell them after a rise generally they will keep rising!

Anyone on here still have ZIOC (Zanaga Iron Ore)?

Wondering whether to bail or not tomorrow as 100% profit within 6 months is the best performing shares I have held in the last 20 years.
Not sure to hold on or not with one or two people I know thinking £1 is capable within the next year or so.

Only you can answer that, no one has gone broke selling for a profit, me I'm waiting for it to have £ at the front of it...

Close half and hold half or 25 75.

Do some maths.

Decide what to do.

Execute.

Still holding, I genuinley think this one has some legs an we'll see it is £ rather than p within the next 6 months. We're due some big news by the end of the week regarding the new port and possibly power station. I think we'll hit 40p, stabalise for a week or two then have a bit of a dip back to the level we are now, before it really starts picking up in early 2019.

But then again I have no crystal ball.

Im in Zioc only for a small amount but have been since 13p of which I thought I was late to the party. At 18p I was going to move my Losses on TERN and BZM over to Zioc as there is big/hopefully good news coming up as a few people have stated. All looks positive but this is AIM.
As one person has suggested, perhaps split your position with a small sell.
I'm staying all in but then as I said I have a low amount in them.

"I'm waiting for it to hit £1, should be some good news due soon"

Ahhhh, the wild call of the AIM investor! Myself included in the past.
Sell out your original investment, keep the profit invested. AIM management has a way of royally fking things up.

Agree but it is again about timing as best you can.

Don't hesitate when you feel the time is right...I did with TERN...one day I was up 50%, then a few days later I was back to square one...I then got the opportunity after a massive decrease to get out at break even...didn't take it and now I'm down 50%....AIM :-(

Same with BZM, naïve and believed the hype, 50% down.

Gut instinct with ZIOC is see it out until the end of the year. If the news coming up is positive, then possibly sell on that. Small steps, as they say Buy on Rumour, sell on Facts.
But then for me, I'm building up and then investing in a SIPP portfolio which across the board is at 9.5% in 7mths.
Scottish Mortgage Fund has been immense so far for me at 18.5% return.

On the contrary, a lot of AIM mamagement is done well based upon what it is actually aiming for.

Start a small company, award yourselves lots of shares. Start releasing good news, get the stock pumped massively. Sell out your large holdings of shares that you own as the management. Let the company fall apart. Perhaps start a new company and repeat. Great way to get money off stock gamblers.

While the device business grabs all the headlines, its the subscription (Apple Music) services that will grow or shrink this stock in the very long term. Keep an eye on subscriber growth for any of its subscription services.

Also, I read an article recently that explained that the demand for the new models being announced next week will be a lot lower as they brought forward many folks to upgrade to the X when that was released.

If people are on 18-24 month upgrade cycles, the X brought that forward, creating a virtual 'air pocket' in demand.

SWMBO has Craneware (CRW), which she bought on my fathers's advice in 2016. Today it shot up 18.36%, putting her 114% up overall since she got it. Meanwhile my both my ISA & SIPP were down, alright for some...

I don't know about the specific stocks being discussed but fully agree with the above - been burned too many times on AIM. If you're in the fortunate position of a 100% rise then for the love of god sell half and enjoy seeing the "free" half doing whatever it does.

I probably wouldn't have a mortgage if I had followed this advice myself smile

It just reminded the market why mining is so risky. I think it could go to 20p.
$400M extra capital cost is a lot. I wonder how long the Board knew about this.

But then the ZIOC story is a good one. So is it gambling or a well thought out investment?
