Posted at 26/12/2000 08:30 by indieman What a sad bunch we are. It's 8am on Boxing Day and I'm sat at my PC answering queries on my stockpicking methods etc. Oh well....Shares which have shown me a good return this year, not in date order:- Abbey National- bought at 826p (April), more bought at 864p 4 months ago. No brainers, both purchases-My indicators showed trend changing at about 800p, and a quasi-triangle penetrated upside at about 855p. Still holding. Rolls Royce- A dullard, but worth buying in March at 193p to sell near the resistance level at 250p in mid-May. Helped by the fact that I knew the market generally was heading up from the late Feb low. Tadpole-The only tiddler on the list. Bought when it ignored the implications of a descending triangle in early March and broke out upward. Sold a few days later at 71p. Dixons- (Ring a bell Taximania?) Bought at 252p in late Feb/early March at major support level. Sold 9 weeks later at 349p, at resistance level. Charts+ indicators. Tesco-Missed out badly; got in twice around 195p but gave up both times. It promptly rose through its resistance levels and shot away. Glaxo Wellcome- Bought on results day which coincided with the expected market bottom generally. Sold a month later at ca 1800p for a 25% profit. Similar stories with Rentokil and Arriva. I have made my share of balls-ups as well, including Telewest, Dixons (when the 250p support finally gave way) and shares bought on the dreaded feeling that something was going to break. It usually did-badly. Strangely, shares I owned where I got a bad feeling and sold were usually good calls eg. ARM at 717p. Basically, I try not to trade against the market. This year has reinforced that in spades. Of course it helps if you know which way the market is going- no longer possible in this part of the economic cycle. |
Posted at 25/12/2000 00:41 by taximania Stew - Very often no believe it or not! a case in point this week that springs to mind would be BPB (bought at 211 about three weeks ago)went through it's ex date and kept up it's steady rise but nothing about the co has changed it's just that it's been too cheap (WH did the same). When the price does drop it often happens a few days after the ex date maybe people get confused between ex and record?. As regards divis next two on my list are airtours ( can be picked up on a bad day for 195)divi of 9p soon & less of a sure thing Enodis(13p)i would be very suprised if either of these two drop by the amount of the divi although you need to go in fairly heavy to make it worthwhile! maybe 5k or so. Re my previous point my computer showing eurasia(?) 1046 messages just clicked on the chart started in jan at 25pish finished now at 30pish take out the costs and the spread and that looks to me like a complete waste of time yet it creates unbelievable attention and a little bad news could see it dive - hence the title of my post. All the best Chris. |
Posted at 25/12/2000 00:21 by stewjames Just read your post properly (oops! Sorry.) and that's an interesting point about waiting for the start of the uptrend. Worth looking into, I reckon. On the dividend point, isn't it normal practice for the price to be discounted by the same amount as the dividend on the ex date? |
Posted at 24/12/2000 11:22 by taximania Some interesting replies , thanks , there is little doubt that buying a good small cap company and holding for the long term would produce outstanding gains but how many of the investors that contribute to this site would do that? not many i fear. I am sure if i posted a thread on here along the lines of ' Chorion to fly on monday' it would attract 10 times as many replies all saying how wonderful the company is and that we should all get in now before it's too late!Can not agree with the comments that there is no value in 350 stocks if anything i would say the opposite is true. Many are out of favour simply because there is no short term interest , with a few exceptions of companys whose long term market share is declining (M&S perfect example),this interest often returns and drives the price forward. Two recent examples might be Hanson from 315p to 450p in a few weeks or WH smith 310p to 450p again in a few weeks and the great thing is there are loads more out there!The good thing is that many will sit at there year low for quite a while so there is no need to rush in ,simply wait for a small change in the trend, it also helps that many offer a decent yield if you follow the ex date there is often a rise as the ex gets closer which then carries through and gives you not only the divi but also a decent increase in your capital.All the best Chris |
Posted at 24/12/2000 10:51 by lord c. It's all to do with research.One should buy shares in ANY company ONLY after in depth due diligence. Trouble with the large cap co's is that there is plenty of information out there which all can share in quite easily and which is reflected in the share price. Some of the small caps can be seriously undervalued because the market doesn't want to understand them or has not bothered to do so. Kicking the tyres - (especially contacting ceo's and arranging visits) is much easier. Value can also be had when an institution takes a decision to exit a tiny company simply because they will no longer take a long term view of prospects.They will often drive the price way down as they get out in dribs and drabs. Getting in and out and the spread are the real problems with any small cap co (which is why I never invest in Ofex but am quite happy to buy into Aim stocks).An easy exit is the one great advantage of investing with the big boys. If you are a long term player I still think that it's not size that matters but good research! Lord C. |
Posted at 23/12/2000 15:32 by perry97 Taximania, I know theres a lot of sense in what you say.however the alternative view is also worth a hearing. I subscribe to Techinvest and the figures of the Newsletters Trader Portfolio based on investments which have been recommended by the main section of the newsletter, and which have therefor been thoroughly researched, are very very good.Here it is: Starting cap 1.3.85 £20000 Terminatiom 31.3.93 £462874 2214% Portfolio2 1.1.93 £50000 Termination30.4.96 £276691 453% Portfolio 3 1.4.96£50000 Termination 27.3.00 £570402 1040% This year only up 3% agst FTSE -9.8%,All shaRE -14.9% Most people dont have the patience (including me!) but the big gains are made this way too, and I wont be betting against the current folio doing very well even if I dont take up many of the recommendations meantime. Anyone interested in giving themselves a New Year treat Techinvest is at Tel+353(0)1-670 1777 (Dublin On another tack I am just starting looking at FT sectors weekly on the basis that its a double check, if the sector moves up this will help confirm a company share price breakout. Not much positive now ,construction ,insurance, electricity poss. Any way good hunting next year! Perry |
