tiltonboy
one thing I find hard to see clear how many BCA they got left in this ,If you know please let me know. Thanks.

[its the oxman] 05/5/2015 16:24

Poised to break upward.

[soundbuy] 05/5/2015 12:50

Wonder how many are finding they can't buy as they just ain't 'sophisticated' enuff like.....

[tiltonboy] 05/5/2015 12:41

Thanks. He has still got a few followers then!

[cockerhoop] 05/5/2015 12:38

Not sure it's anything new:

'This looks another opportune time to buy back into this value play. That's because Marwyn's share price is 25 per cent below my end-April NAV estimate of 295p despite the fact that NAV per share has risen by 12 per cent in the past three months, and there have been some potentially profitable new portfolio investments.'

[tiltonboy] 05/5/2015 12:30

Many thanks. Anything new mentioned, or just a re-hash of what we know?

[cockerhoop] 05/5/2015 12:15

Simon Thompson in the IC has tipped it.

[tiltonboy] 05/5/2015 12:09

A flurry of buys shortly after Noon. Has there been a mention somewhere?

'I guess sophisticated must mean ex-city, accountant, or IFA types?'

Yes, those that make a habit of losing other peoples' money rather than their own :)

Sky, Thanks, will take a look.

bamboo - no problem, just switch your target to another in the tertiary territory of Private Equity - BP Marsh ("BPM"). They stand at a 30% NAV discount (even higher than MVI's discount) and both Fundamentals and Technical Analysis combine to suggest a good rise ahead:

its deemed a complex financial instrument...... see hxxps://www.youinvest.co.uk/sites/default/files/useful-forms/AJBYI_Application_to_invest_in_complex_instruments.pdf

Thanks for the replies.

I am definately not a sophisticated investor imo, although I do have considerable experience in managing my own investments. I guess sophisticated must mean ex-city, accountant, or IFA types?

It's unlikely I'll be going through the rigmarole of opening a new account just to trade MVI. It's a shame because the chart pattern does look primed. Good luck all. Cheers.

I've just complained to Barclays on the same point.
'Nanny knows best' mentality.

[b3842517] 27/3/2015 14:12

Frustratingly been prevented by Barclays Stockbrokers from topping up MVI today. No option to pass a test, just a blanket response that company policy was to not trade at all in MVI, though they would let us sell our current holding if we wanted, which was kind of them.

Bought our original holding through Barclays around 2 years ago, so something has clearly changed in that time.

TDW - update, can be held in an ISA just that they hadn't set it up across all my a/c's when I was previously interrogated.

[hpcg] 27/3/2015 10:49

Not being able to remember the term sophisticated investor ought to disqualify me any way!

[soundbuy] 27/3/2015 10:42

Ho ho :)

Just put in an order through TDW and coming up with message that this can't be held in an ISA.

Hold in my general trading a/c.

Is this correct?

[davebowler] 27/3/2015 10:25

Don't forget the Iris reader, SoundBuy.
At least you don't have to go through this!..............

[soundbuy] 27/3/2015 10:14

TDW - the same, have to go through a short Q&A session, psychological testing, assault course and full medical and only then are you able to buy.....

[tiltonboy] 27/3/2015 09:43

Specialist Fund Market. Aimed at sophisticated investors.

[hpcg] 27/3/2015 09:41

Its a specialist investment, or whatever the technical term is, so you need to have answered the "do you really know what you are doing" questions with your account provider. I had to do this with HL to buy more convertible stock I already owned so I think the rules tightened up in 2014.

[bamboo2] 27/3/2015 08:36

Looked at the Triangle chart patterns here and thought the targets looked worthwhile and achievable, however Halifax share dealing say they no longer deal in the is share. Has anyone else bought these through Halifax?

I could try ordering on the phone, but expect there then might be similar difficulties selling. I guess others buying here are using different brokers. I mention this for info's sake, because it might have some effect on potential volume and liquidity. gla

HAV - seen opening at 150p+ this am. on relisting.......

[badtime] 26/3/2015 20:05
