You may have been able to place a stoploss for 2000 now but what happens when the price starts falling and they restrict sales to 500?

[foster] 17/3/2006 16:36

trewsa ...
Not sure if this applies to all brokers.
Yesterday I wanted to buy 2000 BLP (sister of BPW) through Squaregain, but the on-line maximum size was restricted to 1000. There is always the option of asking for the broker to try for the larger deal on the basis of fill-or-kill, but you may have to pay a higher price. I therefore bought two lots of 1000 (but paid two commissions!). Later the maximum size increased to 3500 so I was able to place a stoploss for my 2000.
Stop-loss facilities always come with lots of health warnings. As yet my stoplosses have worked OK, even if my attempts to trade at-best haven't. Does anyone else have more experience of this?

[trewsa] 15/3/2006 15:13

They don't restrict the size when you're buying,do they? Do brokers warn that stop losses may not work even when prices are moving slowly?

TREWSA...Hope this explains...from previous posts.

Agreed. According to Blue Planet's website, BPW is now trading at a premium to diluted NAV. This compares with a discount at the start of this year of over 25%.

So be careful - the last time the price fell sharply (mid January) the market size was reduced to only 500 shares.

easy...marketmakers would accept individual sell orders to a maximum of only 500 shares; makes it difficult to sell a larger holding in a hurry.

I am nervous and have switched into BPFU. Recently the investment remit there was extended from Europe to worldwide. Is it possible that BPW and BPFU will be eventually merged? Meanwhile I am more comfortable with the relatively large discount to NAV of BPFU.

I had a stop loss at 196 with Selftrade and it didn't work-had to sell over the phone at 185.(The same thing happened with JP Morgan Russian through Squaregain.).Illiquid stock,only 3 marketmakers.Anyone else had the same experience with investment trusts or other shares?

[huntie2] 15/3/2006 10:18

this sin't looking quite so good..............any opinions?

[easy74] 28/2/2006 12:13

thanks CJW283...much appreciated.

[cjw283] 27/2/2006 20:02

Easy74, on 24/2/2006 these were trading at a very slight premium to NAV. A month ago there was a 15.9% discount, nearly 30% discount 2 months ago. So I would think now maybe isn't the time to buy, unless you are in for the long term. In that case this is a good investment. The share price has been volatile lately and so I would think will remain so in the short term. The short term doesn't interest me. I bought these at launch when the company was called Cairngorm Demutualisation IT. They did nothing for years, but the dividends more than made up for losses. I'm still buying, but via the the savings plan. Low cost and makes short term volatility less relevant.

MMs trying to fill a buy order.

No buys last 20mins, but the price is going up gradually! Strange

[easy74] 24/2/2006 12:09

come on guys....opinions appreciated!
Thanks.

[easy74] 23/2/2006 17:37

it's finished just around the NAV.....still not sure if it's the right time to purchase. Could there be more of a slide?

[scanjet17] 22/2/2006 11:24

This is one of two buy recommendations in the latest edition of 'Quantum Leap' stockmarket newsletter published today. I rate this one of the three best uk newsletters. I bought this trust a few weeks ago at around 180 so am reassured that their rec was at 244.5p. The portfolio of investments and management are all highly regarded by QL. Yesterdays falls look to me to be an excellent opportunity to get in ahead of the next rise.

[slips] 21/2/2006 14:51

Down 20% now - below NAV and from 15% premium to 10% discount in a single days trading! At this rate it might soon be time to buy if anyone takes a liking

[mad4it] 21/2/2006 14:21

easy - Thanks, I'll take a look.

[easy74] 21/2/2006 14:16

seems people on this BB are very clever...all got out or reduced at the right time.

Good luck all.
