sandbank, there are always odd stocks which buck the trend, but both of those are also down today. :-)

CAL 15% down in a week is a poor performance though.

DAVIUS: ....depends which property stocks.

SMP and GRI are both great investments. :-)

> Surely you buy when there's a sea of red?

Unfortunately an ISA offers no such posibility, and whilst I have stayed partly in cash from time to time, I've ridden the recent rise fully invested.

Am taking the odd T-Trade in my trading account though, but CAL was always intended to be a longer term investment.

Surely you buy when there's a sea of red?

Chart still making a nice curve upwards recently evven with todays dip.

S&P just about to bounce off the 50 day moving average again here - market at a buy point imo, especially if the S&P surrenders another 10 points or so which it may or may not.

All just my opinion.

Unfortunately 40 is now a 10% rise away. A sea of red on my monitor, just 5 of my 30 watched stocks blue and just two of those I hold, with CAL dragging them down and one of the worst performers. Ah well, plenty of time on this one, sitting in my ISA.

Breaking this 40 barrier can be compared to sleeping with a virgin. Seriously testing my patience and not really getting any enjoyment out of it.

Wolfman, probably best to just look forward to next week....which, I think is what I said to myself last week.

THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT ,WHEN WE BREAK 42P,ITS NORTH ALL THE WAY TO £1

hungry wolf ,thats when you buy SBDB.

[hungry wolf] 23/10/2009 09:22

The way I read today's gdp results is as follows.
Interest rates will not go up as previously thought, sterling will weaken giving great opportunity for foreign interest to buy on the cheap and frankly it is now the bond market responsibility to deal with it which means equities are of interest once more but then again this might only last 48 hours. Monday could unveil a completely different scenario and so we wait and wait and wait.

[cockneyrebel] 22/10/2009 20:36

Go back to June on the chart, drawe a line on the lows and project where this is going.

Imo that curve is a classic that had been seen in loads of charts in the past 6 months.

Through that 41p Aug high very soon then no resistance till 50p then all the way to £1. When this goes through 42p I'll be having a big spread bet on top of my share holdings.

yoh yoh yoh.

turn around. Funky stuff doods.

[cockneyrebel] 21/10/2009 14:52

picked up a few more this afternoon - midcaps rallying this afternoon - small caps will follow tomorrow imo - that's how it goes.

S&P through 1100.

[edward hopper] 21/10/2009 10:30

i think you meant drop 30p, not drop to 30p?

[hungry wolf] 21/10/2009 09:55

Not much monkey.
The thing with SBDB is that they raised the funds as we have done here but the discount was massive and as a consequence they will now do a 100 to 1 consolidation which should place the stock on the market @ £ 1.40 -
£ 1.44

Currently the only stock on my radar in high numbers is DUPD @ 65 pence if you like investing in the Ukraine so using this example as a measure I don't see SBDB holding £ 1.40 for very long. It is unrealistic compared to all other companies listed and shorters will just have a field day.

But of course; I may be wrong.

I've just re-checked the asset portfolio of both CAL & WKP , both look impressive and both my investments are based on 2012 Olympics bringing new business opportunities to England however should SBDB fall to 30 pence then clearly Canary Wharf would be far more attractive

[monkeywrench] 21/10/2009 08:52

Hungry, how much did you make on SBDB in 7 minutes ?
It's the way I tell 'em.

[warmsun] 21/10/2009 07:07

No 298k man......at the moment!

[hungry wolf] 20/10/2009 17:58

am actually fine when i've had a few.

I see you do not like SBDB. I got in last week @ 1.43 & got out sharp @ 1.50

The 28th should be interesting on that one.

I got me some WKP today. Institutions buying in so fingers crossed a few more pennies coming my way.

Not at all happy with the immediate price drop so soon here hence the reference to politicians. Institutions up-grade and straight after one or the other party vomits doom and gloom and down we go. That's the point & thats why I find it hard to hold any stock for longer than a day at best a week.

[edward hopper] 20/10/2009 16:04

Hungry Wolf,you are so funny, i wouldnt want to meet you when you have had a drink!!!

[jimmycarter] 20/10/2009 15:57

The news is encouraging in so much as its sensible in the short term. If commercial property picks up together with this company's fortunes then that is the time to buy somewhere. Money from this disposal is seemingly being put in the right areas. I am encouraged by this news and latest upgrade but this is just the start. A long way to go but moving in the right direction IMO.

[edward hopper] 20/10/2009 15:46

yes i agree,cant they just set up an office space under one of their metal framed snow slopes.

seriously,they dont need to be London based,however renting in London in the short to med term is a good thing and wil save money,as we all know having followed the likes of WKP etc London office space is cheap/flexible/and can be negotiated so as the have free periods etc.
