AMP aren't selling any until later in the year, I believe... Not that MTFB.L is doing too much at the moment.

Finally SXX.L has been on the move and I've gone from being well under water to only a bit under water - LOL

I just knew everything would pick up right before the next ISA allowance!

BOO.L also slowly recovering by the looks of things...

AMP are obligated to pay back from loan monthly from 15th June to 15th Dec.

Iclaprim NDA decision will probably be around November so they won’t own many shares by then, unless they find another way to fund it, such as a raise or through the Polaris IPO

I sold my IG Group today which i'd bought after the 40% drop following the news about the increased regulation of CFDs. My original target when I got in ~£5 was to hold for a recovery back to the £8 levels. It's been sitting around £8 and fell back a little following the dividend payment. Today I closed that trade. Got a decent profit + scooped up some dividends along the way.

A few weeks back I grew impatient with my SXX position (which i'd got in ~22p) and closed it for a small profit. I've been watching it climb up lately and kicking myself a bit. So I thought i'd take the plunge and get back in again. I probably bought the top knowing me but if next week by some miracle they are 40p then i'm inclined to take that.

Well done on the IG trade, as you know I got rid of mine as well.

How you feeling about TSCO? You still holding there?

I've still got mine (bought in at £5.03) and tempted to take the profit. However they pay and ok dividend, so contemplating keeping them for my long term div ISA group.

Might sell half and have best of both worlds.

Yep...still happy to hang on to TSCO. The other week I also added to my KAZ position (which was in healthy profit).

Man Group is a bit of a concern, it's taken a bit of a hit and i've been in the position where I was in 100% profit and then watched it dwindle away. I'm in a similar scenario and thought maybe this time it will get beyond £2 and keep going but it dropped back when the markets took a tumble and hasn't quite recovered.

I do have some other AIM stocks but we won't talk about those rolleyes

With the fed comments regarding 4 interest rate rises this year I guess we might see a repeat of the sell off from a few weeks ago and a bumpy few weeks?.

You’ll be pretty happy today then? I’ve still got my large holding in them so was a bit nervous today but a great result.

blvn have already drilled very successful wells on Etinde its a large gas/condensate structure shallow water offshore cameroon , forget bomono there's not much value there ,there's a couple of wells to be drilled this year iirc appraisals on etinde , fid will be made after the appraisals floating lng is new age way forward , cam gov want ferilizer and onshore lng plant , not much risk to the downside IMO apart from the usual fked up african politics , they also get a chunk of cash on spudding the appraisal.

coc bought them out to make a large amount of cash and I suspect they will (new age will buy them out IMO) , I currently don't hold (too impatient & wary of african politics) but can see the upside

Edited by dingg on Friday 23 February 14:40
When you say not much downside do the numbers for the FID make sense? I know there's quite a few fields large enough in different places that are not developed due to the terms offered by the country, or because the BE cost at current prices is just not good enough. Floating LNG is likely to be an expensive development, and generally the internal market pricing for gas will be a lower price than elsewhere. Also if the appraisal wells fail I presume the volumes will change a lot (depending what is included as of now).

As stated I don't know much about the details, but there is stuff there that depending on the company and how they have done reporting up to now could be a big risk. Probably safer than a lot of AIM oilers, but it's certainly not only political risk.

Promising news and i'd like to see the price go over £2.20 as it has a habit of fizzling out.

Aside from that, no not especially happy - hasn't been the best day for some of my other holdings.

RIO down nearly 4% based on Trump news (Considering more tax on Aluminium and Steel imports)

Oversold ? This is only a fraction of RIO's business.

Bit of a rubbish day all round today. Is the market oversold, who fancies putting more £’s in on Monday?

So what happened to Debenhams share price? From 120p to 28p in five years. Their high street and online performance can't have been that bad, surely. Any scope of it going back up again?

The performance hasn’t been good and the prospects for High Street department stores is well documented. The other potential problem is with the leases, look up IFRS16.

I won’t be investing, I’m OUT.

I’ve got a few quid invested in Creo Medical. I’m planning on holding for the medium term, but in any event the shares have had a good run over the past month (and particularly the past week).

I've been eyeing them up for a while. The huge dividend has been tempting but then there's the risk of them going to the wall or reducing/cancelling the dividend.
