Posted at 19/6/2022 13:12 by hedgehog 100 Thanks to Bigbigdave, on "TOP Traders Thread !!!! (CR)", for flagging up this TOPINFO mention in "The Sunday Times" today:-"Day traders beat a retreat from choppy markets Surging tech stocks and cryptos tempted an army of amateur investors to quit their jobs and trade the markets at home. Now, with high interest rates and prices crashing, many have suffered big losses and are giving up Peter Evans Sunday June 19 2022, 12.01am, The Sunday Times ... One Twitter user —known as Topinfo — has amassed nearly 14,000 followers. He started trading in the early 2000s and has made a point of helping new traders find their feet as markets have plunged in 2022. “Lots of people did well at first, but now have got burnt and lost everything,” he said, asking to stay anonymous. “There are ruthless traders out there and many take advantage of inexperienced people. It’s a professional market run by professionals. You wouldn’t want to do brain surgery if you were a hospital porter.” ..." |

Posted at 01/4/2015 10:21 by h2owater AMPFrom Today's TimesA biotech minnow that professional investors believe could leap is coming to AIM tomorrow.Motif BioSciences, which is developing an antibiotic to treat skin infections, will be rebadged Motif Bio and start life as a public company with a valuation of nearly £13 million.Northland Capital, helping Motif to raise £3 million, is looking ahead to April 14, when the US Food and Drug Administration, the drugs regulator, meets to decide whether and when phase-III trials to determine the therapeutic effect of Iclaprim, Motif's drug, can start.Iclaprim fell before at a later stage, back in 2009. Northland puts that unexpected block down to issues at the FDA and believes it highly unlikely to happen again. Should the FDA grant permission for those trials to begin, Motif's market value could rocket, biotech bulls said.Richard Morgan, the Motif chairman, was instrumental in building Celgene into a $95 billion American pharma giant. He is also the chief executive of Amphion Innovations, itself quoted on AIM and still the owner of 44 per cent of Motif after flotation.Amphion's shares, barely 3p a week ago, dipped ¾p to 7¾p. |
Posted at 18/5/2014 22:12 by hedgehog 100 TGL closed for the weekend at 0.7p, rising stongly on big volume: it ended April at 0.3p, so is up 133% on the month to date.And the company has made five announcements in under a month: 06/05/2014 07:03 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Admission of Shares & Holdings in Company 30/04/2014 07:01 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Investment Policy, Circular & Notice of AGM 25/04/2014 10:41 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Holding(s) in Company 23/04/2014 13:02 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Holding(s) in Company 22/04/2014 07:02 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Placing, director change, strategy & TSX delisting TOPS posted this on the thread "TOUCHSTONE GOLD - BASHER FREE THREAD (TGL)" when the share price was 0.3p: TOPINFO 20 Apr'14 - 04:01 - 564 of 727 3 0 "Just catching up with a few bits and Just seen that news TGL Thursday that they are de-listing from TSX market only, in order to reduce costs and with lack of volume etc on TSX it certainly makes sense and is a very positive move. This coupled with the injection of capital last month from new investor, this looks to me like a deal is coming very soon and new bod are having a very positive clearout and preparing this baby for interesting times ahead. If it was curtains here like some have tried to make out then they would have just de-listed the whole listing both TSX and UK and the fact they have not is the most positive news I have seen as TGL for some time. They look like they have an agenda and a plan and Im sure they will divulge what it is shortly but in the meantime I think by the past 3 or 4 Rnses you can be sure this is far from game over and more like get ready for a new revised TGL. Big things about to happen here! All IMO but something very good is happening behind the scenes in my opinion." |
Posted at 04/3/2014 20:52 by hedgehog 100 "Sword_of_ truth Profile Created 02 May 2013"Sword_of_ truth, You are I believe Stockonomist, both one of Stockologist's 100+ user names, and you have been warned here already. There are many other threads where you can attack TOPINFO, that is not the purpose of this thread. But since you are here and attacking, I will address you comments. And I say that your criticism of TOPINFO is completely disingenuous. How many stocks does TOPINFO buy? Let's say at least two per week. So in over a decade on ADVFN, he would have bought over a thousand shares ... and a few may have eventually (perhaps years later) gone bust. That doesn't mean that they weren't good buys at the time, and in any case would be a small minority of the total. In addition, remember the statistical rationale of penny share investing: one ten bagger is worth more than eight 100% losses. Nor does it mean that an investor should not monitor his buys, and reassess the situation, e.g. if the company is clearly going to the wall. TOPINFO consistently puts investors into shares that are both good trades, and good longer term investors ... but that sort of success creates envy and sour grapes. |
Posted at 26/2/2013 16:05 by rainmaker Truely successful stockmarket Investors are rare breed so I thought I'd post a list of what I consider to personal characteristics of a successful Stockmarket Value investor. Do you recognise yourself?Intelligent Honest Patient Tenacious Objective Inquisitive Determined Emotionally stable regards |
Posted at 26/2/2013 15:44 by rainmaker I've run my own Value Investing thread on this BB for many years and amongst the hundreds of thousands of subscribers,I'm only aware of two other Investors on these BBs that have successfully followed this strategy and have consistently done very well. Globally there are only a handful or so of very successful Stockmarket Value Investors eg Charles Brandes, Howard Marks, Seth Klarman etc who return on average circa 20% a year and are all billionnaires. People will dip in and out the strategy but you can't do that and be successful. It's been said that there is a gene for People perfectly suited to this investment style but do you have the Value Investing gene?regards |
Posted at 26/2/2013 15:27 by rainmaker I strongly urge all new Stockmarket Investors to seriously consider a powerful investment strategy called "Value Investing" because simply it delivers higher returns with less risk.The background to this style of investing originated in the 1920s and served it's practioners well during the great depression of the early 1930. The Man most closely associated with this style of investing was the famed Ben Graham was Warren Buffett's tutor at Columbia University, who advocated buying poorly performing Companies with low share prices which where cheap in comparison to their assets rather than the more glamorous and highly rated "Growth Companies". Naturally this advice runs contrary to intuition, why invest in a Company that has performed badly rather than one that has done well? His views were treated with a mixture of derision and profound scepticism.However statistical studies then and since have all confirmed proved that collectively not only do "Value" stocks outperform "Growth" stocks but do so with lower risk. Ben Graham explained that the market has a tendency to unvalue poorly performing "Value" shares , relatively at least, compared to high flying "Growth" stocks. I have to warn new Investors that the Value Investing ethos of buying a £1 for a 50 pence, on the basis of known facts and definite prospects-rather than broker estimates of future growth,is very much a minority participation and requires total commitment,dedicatio regards |
Posted at 25/2/2013 17:19 by rainmaker The following text will not be seen after you upload your website, please keep it in order to retain your counter functionality "Formal educational will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune" Jim Rohn,US motivational speaker. Here we go, a brand new thread intended solely for first time Investors nervously feeling their way around the Stock Market.I'm not going to suggest shares here but rather give general help and advice to avoid the numerous pitfalls that new Investors make and also to inspire them to great heights. The Stockmarket is a wonderful place but you're very much on your own. It has to be emphasised that it's very much "caveat emptor" ie Buyer beware. There are no second chances, no money back guarantees, no one to complain to or blame if things go wrong -only yourself so don't screw up and give yourself every chance of being successful. I firmly believe that anyone with a modicum of intelligence with sound reasoning and an inquiring mind who is ready, willing and able to devote a reasonable amount to time to intelligent research can be a successful stockmarket Investor regardless of their social class, educational background or status in life. In my firm opinion you don't have a background in finance or accounting skills or be an economist to be seriously successful Stockmarket investor. If you are new Investor with no knowledge or training then I believe the odds are heavily stacked against you so you're going to need all the help, support and encouragement you can get.If you want to ask any questions then please feel free to do so and I will respond. I'll use this opening thread to post a list of general help and advice. However before I do this I have to tell Readers that I am a Stockmarket "Value Investor" which is widely accepted as the both safest and surest way to make money in the Stockmarket so my input here comed very much from that ethos and it's central tenets ie margin of safety in purchases,avoidance of speculation,conserva 1) Firstly calculate a shares intrinsic value before you even consider buying. All you need to know are the Company's intrinsic value and share price, the latter you just look up.If you don't know how to calculate a Company's intrinsic value then you better learn fast. There are several ways to do this but it's best if it is calculated this figure from known facts ie the Company's assets which is the most reliable things you can use rather that say earnings. 2)Seek a substantial margin of safety in all your purchases say 50% or more.The margin of safety is effectively a buffer or cushion between the higher intrinsic value and the lower share price which protects the Investors against any unexpected future adverse circumstances that negatively affect a Company's intrinsic value, likely ensuring that the Company's unvaluation remains in tact. So if you buy a £1 coin on sale for a 50 pence piece and that £1 becomes only worth say 90p the substantial margin of safety has protected your investment and that investment still promises a satisfactory return. 3) Invest only in Companies with strong balance sheets and avoid any Company where there is a solvency risk.There are numerous academic studies that show that there are widely known forecasting models that predict bankruptcy that have around a 85% record of success. Check Altman's Z score.This information is available cheaply for a small monthly subscription of just £5.95 per month ie www.sharelockholmes. 4)Become very familiar with Value metrics that give a good idea how cheap or expensive a share is ie price/earnings, price/sales, price/book value etc etc,ratios Also work a range of values for each Company's value metric of values for previous years. 5)Reduce risk through diversification to form a collection of shares known as a portfolio and never ever "bet the farm" by investing in just one Company-that's lunacy. This is going to protect you from individual disappointments. 6) If I had £1 for everyone that had ever said that "the stockmarket is gambling" then I would have collected many millions. Of course, it's gambling if you don't know what you're talking about and ignorance is bliss, as they say.Don't ever gamble or speculate.Just because the majority of investors will gamble or speculate doesn't mean that you should or even have to. Trust when I say through long experience that high risk definitely does not go with high reward. In other words you do NOT have to take large risk to achieve high returns and can it with low risk. 7)If you are a Private Investor then don't waste your time and energy investing in large FTSE 100 Companies but instead concentrate your effort to better effect in smaller Companies where the returns (and risks for that matter) are higher. Smaller Companies which are frequently neglected in terms of research, misunderstood should be the preserve of the private investor. 8) IMHO don't waste your time setting stop losses at arbitrary levels eg 10%,20% to protect yourself against losses IF the share you bought was undervalued AND has a substantial margin of safety ie it's true value is way above the share price then why are selling just because the share price has gone down, surely you should, within reason, be taking advantage of further weakness to buy more?! 9) Run your profits and if you are a genuine half decent Value Investor then you should run your holdings for at least two years to optimise your profits as that is generally the time it takes for a substantially undervalued Value share to go from substantially undervalued to a fair rating. Furthermore if you're going to make a profit then you want it be as large as possible. 10)Don't sell half of your holdings just because the share price has doubled. 11)Get your portfolio allocation just right.You probably don't think that this is important but trust me it is.Pick too few and you are taking on too much risk and denying yourself available funds to invest in new opportunities and also to take advantage of lower prices available in some of your holdings. Furthermore there will be shares that perform spectacularly moving up 10,20 or even fold 30 in a couple of years(in my long experience these will overwhelmingly be Value shares) and you need to buy such shares in your portfolio because they make a big difference to your overall returns.If your portfolio is too tightly concentrated then you have a far greater chance of missing such opportunities.I would suggest that you split up your funds into 30 units of 3.33% each and invest one unit in each share and then should the share price decline significantly be prepared, if the share is substantially undervalued to invest another unit. 12)IMHO never average up but always, within reason, look to average down. IMHO averaging up ie buying more at higher prices after your initial purchase is very dangerous and you are leaving yourself open to potentially large losses. 13)Don't spread bet as you don't need to and it's gambling and we all know what happens to gamblers. In spread betting potential losses are unlimited but buy a share you can only lose your investment in that share. |
Posted at 19/10/2003 21:37 by jdeltablues Just catching up..."People equate rises with greed and falls with fear, and yes greed on a new rising market should be slow because investors are likely to be slow because they fear a risk of losing, but speed up when the greed is motivated by fear of missing out, so shouldn't tops be rapid as in late 1999?" Yes, this is how spike tops are formed; this kind of fear-driven greed is usually only seen near the top of major bull markets, which is why this kind of top is fairly rare. Much more common is the kind of top where the greed of the buyers is matched by the fear of losing profits from those who got long earlier, and the market goes sideways until the second group dominate (assuming they do dominate, but then it won't be a top if they don't!). "The past 6 months have been marked by the speed of the rise- so what has been the dominant emotion over the past 6 months? Has it been professional speculative greed of the few as their cash returns. I can't believe that mass greed has returned." I'd say it was initially driven by short covering, and some of the funds who've been religiously buying every dip of the bear market and finally got lucky, and then the kind of trader that jhurbanek used to be - no offence intended to anyone! (Obviously there were other types of traders and investors active as well, but IMHO those were the ones who were dominant). I would agree that the people who don't watch the market much are still out; in fact I'd guess that most of them haven't even noticed the rally, if the rest of my family is anything to go by. "A fall is thought to be swift because it is motivated by fear, but fear paralyses investors and so shldn't a fall be slow until the final capitualtion when holders can take no more and sell." Yes, this has been typical of the falls in the bear market; if you look at them, they often start by wobbling, trying to recover, then wobbling a bit more, starting to fall and accelerating until they're almost going down vertically, then bouncing back so sharply that it's impossible to catch. Falls in a bull market tend to be seen as buying opportunities, and the "wobble" usually results in a steady recovery, quickly followed by new highs for the move. "Actually, I don't know and think I tend to see tops as less obvious." Yep, calling tops is even harder than picking bottoms. |
