Holding 15,500 CNA shares long term at 151p average price.Just need to forget about them for the moment,and turn your minds on other things.

[jpjohn1] 05/6/2018 15:36

RBS. 13.5p. -4.8%BARC. 5.49p. 2.7%LLOY. .94p. 1.5%At least it's doing the best of three

Trying to stay strong mate :)

[jpjohn1] 05/6/2018 15:31

Know the feeling chaps, just came back in. Strange isn't it yesterday we were up 2.75p and thought 1.50 here we come, then it drops all the gain, and today, well it speaks for itself. I agree with you Nortic, this is one of the dullest shares I have owned. Yes losses, Lloyds no better with RBS sell off, whole banking sector hit bad, not panicking, best thing to do is not look at them till the end of the day

[nortic 007] 05/6/2018 14:57

Rant over..... carry on chaps :)

[nortic 007] 05/6/2018 14:55

Dullest stock I've ever owned!!!!!

[nortic 007] 05/6/2018 14:54

LLOY going lower by the day

[capeview] 05/6/2018 12:56

Looking like a range of 1.43's to 1.47's at the moment. If that doesn't change, we may have to. lol

[iceman82] 05/6/2018 09:16

thanks for reply capeview..... good time to buy Lloyds today with RBS news, Sainsburys also up and coming with possible merger deal

[jpjohn1] 05/6/2018 08:24

Morning capeview, as expected with the sale of RBS shares buy the Government, pulling them down in that section. Not to bad here at the moment

[capeview] 05/6/2018 08:18

Morning JP. Yep, must be a bit of a sell off for profit taking after a few nice days and the oil rise and RBS sale hitting the news. Same old stuff.

Iceman, I just buy a few shares that I like and follow for many years, Barclays and Lloyds are two of them, along with Tesco's, Sainsburys, M&S and a bunch of others.

Best thing to do is to see what takes your fancy, do some research into it and see if it's something you're comfortable with. Can't tell you want to invest in, only what I do.

Like a good few years ago, my dad told me to look out for signs when out and about for companies that may be expanding, and check if they have a presence on the markets.
I did this for quite a while and still do. I was on holiday once and noticed HANSON(Brick and Cement firm I think it was) were having more and more trucks on the roads. I checked the share price and yep, over the years it went up. Just at the time I didn't have the money to invest in them, but if I had it would have been a hefty increase because they were bought or merged with someone else.

But that doesn't always mean it will work, but a good thing to remember. ;)

[jpjohn1] 05/6/2018 07:55

Morning all, it looks like the Ft off to a poor start, I have it at -34

[jpjohn1] 04/6/2018 21:56

Yes diku, I think we all get deflated here at times, goes well then just seems to lose it at the end or the count up

[diku] 04/6/2018 21:00

That goat has nice clean white teeth...

As for CNA a classic mountain reversal today...

[iceman82] 04/6/2018 20:06

capeview may i ask you what did you buy?

[jpjohn1] 04/6/2018 17:20

Yes it does seems a long time ago, since we started a day strong and finished strong here

[kulvinder] 04/6/2018 17:10

Amazing lost all it's gains bar from 0.2p by the end of play, never goes up like we would like.

[capeview] 04/6/2018 16:58

Well, looking so good at one point, but just no real ommph behind it. Still, maybe it's just like shaking a tree to get rid of the overgrowth in produce so the better ones can grow big and juicy. ;)


Who knows, but sounds good in practice.

lets just hope for a better week over all. Still happy I sold a few of them to buy some other stocks though.

[jpjohn1] 04/6/2018 16:44

High was + 2.75p just don't seem to hold it

[nortic 007] 04/6/2018 15:42

CNA doing it's hardest to be flat on the day.

[mercer95] 04/6/2018 14:42

Is that the Morgan Stanley broker who downgraded the mighty Centrica

[skinny] 04/6/2018 14:34

Sheep - what about the goats!

[jpjohn1] 04/6/2018 14:29
