Looks like they came from nowhere to take 8.25 million. Taken all of Henderson stock??

[mortimer7] 17/12/2014 11:53

Old Mutual a buyer : Risen above 8%

[graham1ty] 16/12/2014 07:14

Part reason for share price weakness. Henderson been a seller

SMMT Figures issued this morning for month of November 2014 new car registrations. Bodes well for CAMB assuming they've continued their recent trend of outperforming the market:-

New car registrations grew for the 33rd consecutive month in November, up 8.0% to 172,327 units. 2,310,237 cars registered in the year-to-date, a rise of 9.4% and ahead of the 2013 full-year total.

Hi David,

I tried it again - fingers crossed. As you suggested, I copied and pasted it straight in - I bet they are watching out for me !!!

Cheers, wd

[davidosh] 01/12/2014 02:23

Why not copy the whole of your research on Cambria onto the same website as you have your own copyright and simply state that you have comment on your own blog (in your name) on other companies. Anyone using google should find your blog !

[thewheeliedealer] 30/11/2014 23:29

Ah, slight flaw in the plan........The Administrator said I was breaching their Ts & Cs about advertising.....ooops.

Shame,wd

[thewheeliedealer] 30/11/2014 18:43

Hi David,

Thank you for the superb idea - I have registered with Motley Fool and done a reply to your Thread - I think I have sort of done it in the right place but to be honest I found it all a bit scary having not looked at www.fool.co.uk for years !!

Only thing that I found slighly disconcerting was that when I did a simple Search on CAMB, it failed to pick anything up. I am probably doing it all wrong !!

Regards, wd

[davidosh] 29/11/2014 21:53

Wheelie...Why not add a link to your blog and make some comments on this thread over in the Pub...

[thewheeliedealer] 29/11/2014 16:07

Hi all,

I am really pleased you liked the Blog I bashed out on CAMB - it's extremely motivating to feel my efforts are appreciated !!

My intention is to do a Blog for every Buy and Sell I do - so if you keep an eye on my website you will see this over time. I report all my Trades in as close to real time as you are going to get on Twitter (@wheeliedealer) - and you can see the Twitter Feed on my Home Page.

In the meantime, if you look at the 'WheelieBin / WheelieWatchlist' Page, you will see a detailed list of things I look to avoid in a stock - and there is a list of Stocks that I particularly dislike.

I intend to issue around 3 blogs each week - so expect to see something on Monday, Cheers, wd

When to sell a stock ??


That was the subject of the most popular of all the panel sessions at the recent three day Mello2014 investor conference event in Derby.

There is a complete write up of that session here plus an audiocast link and a video of tens of the keynote speakers and panel sessions will be available shortly...

[djabel666] 28/11/2014 23:11

That would be great if wheeliedealer did a blog on the process when to sell. Like many I equally struggle with the right time to sell. I am sure he will be accommodating

[imranawan] 28/11/2014 11:32

I'd also like to thank wheeliedealer, for his excellent blog post on Cambria Automobiles. It's nice to understand your thought process when you are researching and looking to buy a stock.

I guess a good future blog post topic would be, the opposite ie. when you've chosen to sell a stock and your thought process behind it. I think this is what a lot of private investors struggle with most!

[thewheeliedealer] 27/11/2014 18:31

Hi RP19, I am so pleased you liked my Blog and the Website. I find it hard to believe myself but I have only been creating the WD Experience for about 2 months now - so you probably wouldn't have seen it before.

I am focussing my efforts on building the website and really just need to do the Funds bit on WheelieDealer2 which I hope to do over the next week. If you are on Twitter then you might find it useful to follow me @wheeliedealer - if not, you can see my Twitter Feed on the Home Page of both websites and you can scroll through it. I tend to use Twitter as my main 'communication' method during the day - but please be warned I do Tweet quite a bit but I try to keep relevent and valuable.

Anyway, keep an eye on things as I hope to build something that Private Investors can enjoy and find useful.



Regards wd

Good piece wheeliedealer, I also share your positive outlook on CAMB. First time I have come across your blog, looks a great resource, and I will certainly revisit it.
