The legacy portfolio had a giant day yesterday with the banks rallying and trinity mirror up 7.5%, but the market is struggling to break up into new levels. More on this in my premium blog!

My last post thumb-nailing 10 stocks pulled out one that looked like it needed to be watched carefully and one needing to be walked down the gang plank soon. Such is the benefits of good housekeeping. The big call for 2013 however is, are we in for a great year or a crash in the […]

Today I posted an evaluation of 10 stocks in my legacy portfolio which contains 31 value investments and some might say contrarian shares. It is always a good idea to do spring cleaning every 3 or 4 months and by that I mean look at all your positions and decide to buy, sell or hold. […]

It is faintly silly, in a good way, for the specimen portfolio I’m building in my Premium Newsletter to be up 15% in a month, but it is kind of satisfying. You simply can’t expect to make money from the get go on a new portfolio so it is amusing to see it happening after […]

I’ve not been a happy bunny with the market in 2012. But since I started writing this blog I’m now some 45% up, all of which has come since June. This is a silly result. I would have been happy with 25%. 45% is too much. I can’t fault my portfolio and have been adding […]

According to market theory, it doesn’t really matter when you buy or sell, so long as you buy cheap and sell … not cheap! As such, I sold Enterprise Inns (
LSE:ETI) yesterday. It’s 50/50 as to whether the stock will continue to go on up. Yet I was on around 140% profit, and the price, […]

As of yesterday the FTSE looks very ugly. It is either the bottom of a small correction or the beginning of a big post US election drop. Now that he has been re-elected the next Obama-drama is the fiscal cliff. Whilst it’s actually a ceiling and not a cliff, the problem will be the inability […]

The last few weeks have been very interesting. After the giant rally of the summer, there was a small correction. Corrections are always nasty periods because – in line with great rallies – there never seems to be a clear cut reason for them, beyond the barely credible narrative of the media, that is. Mainly […]

Whilst we have seen the UK economy starting to return to growth, there will be bumps in the road as the world economy is at a base; it hasn’t plateaued but rather it is at the smooth bottom of an economic basin. As such we can look towards recovery and growth but because of the […]

Tuesday 16th was a cracking day for the portfolio. It is currently overweight with banks and Trinity Mirror, all of which rallied. I’m distrustful of big winning spikes especially when things hang in the balance, because the move often heavily reverses as the start of a big, opposing directional move. We will know on Wednesday.
