Got down to 332.44 on my lowest buy, might still dip in to the 320's at some point.

[essentialinvestor] 16/3/2017 09:33

Yes, it's welcome if you want a few.

Quite normal for stock to drop in excess of dividend amount

[eaaxs06] 16/3/2017 09:01

Interesting that it's fallen nearly 3p, in excess of the dividend drop.

I guess that shows a lot of closing after going xd.

Luck with that EI.

[essentialinvestor] 16/3/2017 08:47

6 pence to go for that 328.

[essentialinvestor] 16/3/2017 08:28

Had a small amount and lets see if Nick's XD 228 is on the money, again.

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 17:51

Had a second lot just before the close.

[linton5] 14/3/2017 17:47

Yes well done I went at 348 into Gog and into the red lol

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 16:26

Bought a small amount back.



Nick, if markets have a few weaker days here your 328 XD may be in reach,
having nailed the 3.50 as a short term top, good call.

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 12:41

Luck with that, hoping to pick up some DLG on an XD dip, may not work out.

[linton5] 14/3/2017 12:30

Keep an eye on Tsg

[linton5] 14/3/2017 12:27

To be honest I've took just 2 divis in 4year sell up 99per cent before it ess

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 10:19

Not tempted to wait for the XD?.

[linton5] 14/3/2017 10:19

Just nabbed some Gog(bargain to me anyway)

[cwa1] 14/3/2017 08:33

FWIW, I shaved a few around there too. Had a reasonable run since recent lows so wanted to reduce exposure and take a bit off the table. Watch 'em soar now......

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 08:30

Agree, that was my short term target price so sold a few.

[linton5] 14/3/2017 08:14

Gonna go higher yet guys be patient

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2017 08:13

3.50 nick, nicely called.

[essentialinvestor] 13/3/2017 16:42

I was like that for years and years, it's seductive as there is a great
deal of satisfaction if you nail a great buy or sell price.
Unfortunately it did not tend to happen enough, so stages now.
It's a fight to hold off sometimes, usually put the kettle on when that happens ).

[eaaxs06] 13/3/2017 16:17

I'm more the 'all in' type of investor with my buying.

Then kick myself over the next few days/weeks as the price drifts lower....... lower...... lower.....

[essentialinvestor] 13/3/2017 16:08

Thank you, does not always go according to plan, but usually lower risk.

[eaaxs06] 13/3/2017 16:02

I think you've played it very well, EI.

Your gently, gently buying to build up a decent holding was certainly the best way to go.

[essentialinvestor] 13/3/2017 15:40

Sold a few.

[essentialinvestor] 13/3/2017 15:19

My hopes of getting any under 3.30 when XD are rapidly diminishing atm.

But It has turned out lovely ).
