Sounds like a good experiment if the stories haven't changed, Cragside.
Done.

As a regular follower, I would like to select the shares in my portfolio that are all underwater at present. Not a very proud boast, but a little cheap publicity like this can't do them any harm. The selection is:

AAZ
JOG
RQIH
SOU
W7L

Thanks guys for your banter which is authentic, and fun. Seasons greetings.

I liked some of the products a lot, fozzie.
I would have been more impressed if they were all as specialised as the Ostomy products.
Check out their list of leaders on the website - that sort of mix puts me off, but I do miss successful entrepreneurs.

I have taken a decent sized position in CTEC (for me) at 5% of my portfolio. I think and hope it will be a slow burner but is in some very interesting areas and has potential. Very much under the radar despite being one of the largest ipo's ever on the London market.

Oops.
Done Valhamos

Just had a look at recently floated Convatec (CTEC). More 'leadership' than you can shake a stick at, from a right peculiar set of backgrounds.

I'm so easily put off!

The logic is not that of winning, Dave. This is an analysis process.
I am interested in how my "grown to terrifying valuation" top shares compare with the smaller holdings I am currently increasing.
Still, I guess I should only have one entry that counts, so I'll go for the tiddlers.

APADOnly just noticed you have two selections, not that I mind given your organising it...............and no doubt you have loads of winning shares :)...... can I have some?.DD

[valhamos] 28/12/2016 15:46

Apad

In your list of entries don't forget mine in #7434

[fozzie] 28/12/2016 14:40

SPRP, CTEC, UAI, IGG & UKOG for me please Apad.

I have held SPRP and UAI for years, added UKOG in the summer, and recently bought IGG and CTEC. A little bit of a mixed bag there but i am very hopeful for a good 2017 from them.

[che7win] 28/12/2016 14:01

Pity, IDP up around 25% since selected.

I haven't got where I am today without grasping the wrong end of the stick, b.
Interesting selection.
I've got quite a few SOU, based on the roulette wheel principle, and have sort of pencilled them in as heading for 40p or £4.00. Couldn't bear the SOU board - a mix of people who know an enormous amount about drilling for oil (but I don't see how it helps) and complete herd of dingbats.

[homebrewruss] 28/12/2016 12:56

Apad, thanks. I own them all and am happy to stick with them all.

[apad] 28/12/2016 10:11

BOO
Trust the management job - hard to judge whether it is a good deal, buying a brand and a customer base. At least it's from the receivers.
I hope they don't get NG's founder with the package.
It's a great example of how you can sell a lot of stuff and go bust. KOOV following, I reckon.

ps
homebrewruss: are your competition entries from shares you own or your watchlist? I've got a vague memory of you saying you would be changing them...

[redartbmud] 28/12/2016 10:06

Siege mentality is taking hold. I bought the box set of all Inspector Montalbano DVD's. It is going to be a long winter.

You are not alone. we have all done it, many times over. it no longer haunts me.... too much. There will be another bus along, you just need to find it.
good hunting.

red

Perversely, Clln shooting up, just when I want a weak share price for the competition.
Boohoo - that is me crying.

Sunny in Dudley today, but bitterly cold.

Hey ho...

[fozzie] 28/12/2016 09:49

BOO hoo and bah Humbug! This share will haunt me.Bought and sold for a nice profit 20-35p and now look at it ;o(

[redartbmud] 28/12/2016 09:10

Wakey, wakey you boo boys. Now hear this, now hear this. Boo on the move:

boohoo.com plc ("boohoo" or "the Group"), the leading online fashion retailer, announces that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement1 ("the proposed transaction") to acquire certain intellectual property assets from retailer Nasty Gal Inc. ("Nasty Gal" or "the Company") for US$20 million2.



Nasty Gal filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code protection in the US Bankruptcy Court on 9 November 2016. Subject to US court approval, to be sought on 5 January 2017, boohoo's subsidiary, Boohoo F I Limited, will be appointed as the "stalking horse" bidder for the Nasty Gal brand and customer databases, in accordance with Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code3. The Group will provide a further update on the proposed transaction on or after this date.

Hope you're all having a great Christmas.
Modform can I ask how you get your initial US stock ideas, is it via scans/filtering?
No problem if you don't want to reveal.

Thanks

[discodave4] 23/12/2016 18:00

Merry Christmas all.Thanks to all the more experienced investors who post here (APAD, mod, red, etc), I may not post much, but still learning and appreciate feedback and being able to pick people's brains (the only way of learning is by doing).DD

[lauders] 23/12/2016 15:04

Best wishes to all.
It has been a very interesting year, with 2017 promising many a twist and turn on the markets.
Let's hope that we climb the ladders and avoid the snakes.
