Sometimes I wish I could watch the markets more, so instead I’m using ADVFN alerts more and more. I set an alert for a Dixon’s break out and it triggered this morning, so I’ve topped up. I’m starting to be quite a lot more invested now, so I don’t feel on the side lines anymore. […]

It’s a period of calm in the market not that you’d think so if you read the papers. There is not a lot I fancy buying and when I go hunting I only turn up what I already own. This is frustrating as I still have a lot of cash flouncing around wanting to find […]

Today is a good day for my portfolio for all the right reasons, yet on the face of it one of my stock picks just died – which must be bad. Game Group looks to be dead. Its suppliers and by the sounds of today RNS, its bankers, have, may or most likely will, pull […]

Sold the Transense. At 8.5p, that’s a 75% profit in a month. There are several reasons. The first is, for the life of me I can’t remember why I bought it. I should of course keep a diary of these thoughts but I don’t. This might seem strange but one of my rules of selling […]

This current equity boom is making me and anyone else who is ‘long’ look like a genius. Cable and Wireless is up 70% in 8 weeks, Enterprise Inns is up 80% in roughly the same period, Transence is up 48% in a month and Robert Wiseman got taken out within hours of me buying. Tyche […]

The market has had a great run up and I’m nervous it could go into reverse for a bit. However it it rallies further it will rocket. This nervousness is nothing new as I’ve been unhappy with the market the whole time I’ve been buying back in. Every now and again I buy a little […]

I’m torn between feeling unhappy with the market and imagining the long recession has turned. I suppose I’m thinking about the end of the double dip. If it is the end of this bust cycle, then prices will rally immensely in the next 2-3 years. This is far from certain. I am just starting to […]

I have bought Dixons and AstraZenica. The latter is a simple decision. It’s paying a fat dividend and has a low P/E. More than that; it is way cheaper than GSK. This is an argument most people don’t like. They think GSK is nothing like AZN, or Daily Mail is nothing like Trinity Mirror. For […]

The key issue for me going forwards is inflation. I believe inflation is going to halve the value of cash in the next 5 years and if the governments of the West don’t play their cards right then inflation will shoot to about 10% and we will have a replay of the 70’s with 15-30% […]

The market feels too high for me but it will quite likely go higher. I couldn’t resist buying some Aviva; dividends in the 7% area and a P/E around 7 is just too tempting to resist. If the market is off on a long term rally, as I feel is a strong possibility, then Aviva […]
