Cut your losers, run your winners. I've never understood selling at a predetermined price, sell when the trend runs out of momentum. CCC has fallen today along with the market on volume of just over £100k, that's in a company capitalised at over £750m, it's still well within a rising trend so I've bought the dip.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 14/2/2013 13:26

Which I'm not...

You never can be, and that's why I perenially sell too soon. But as long as I take some of the available profit I am making money. Not as much as in a perfect world, but that world isn't mine...

As mentioned a few posts ago, it worked very well last year. This year, erm, a work in progress...

ima - sounds fine as long as you're absolutely certain your valuation criterion is correct.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 14/2/2013 13:09

I don't buy them at a higher price 'cos I've missed out on the gain. Sure they may go higher, but they may go lower - and what then, take a stop-loss hit to cancel out the previous gain? Buy more? And if they keep falling?

I did have a valuation basis for disposing of them, and they reached them so I sold. I then bought them back at a lower price when they dipped for no obvious reason and made a second gain. Nothing has changed, apart from the market's appetite, but that can change just as quickly.

I'm not saying that CCC is expensive, far from it, just that I can see other opportunities that are, relative to valuation criteria, cheaper. As with the other shares. But, as moaned earlier, the market thought different.

From the RNSs the issues in Germany and France remain, and I was happy to sell for near 400p. Let's see how this goes from here - it is a dip, and last time it had a dip from September to November, it went down 80p intraday.

[v11slr] 14/2/2013 12:13

Well, I've just bought the dip. :-)

[el chupacabra] 14/2/2013 09:17

why can't you buy them back higher stu?

[redips2] 14/2/2013 09:14

Hi stu---tcg MAY!---only may!, rebuild your ragged bottom. In the mean time I will continue to watch with huge anticipation.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 13/2/2013 14:19

Very good. But which dip? And when to sell? Which stock?

etc etc...

[v11slr] 13/2/2013 13:37

ima - I think you need to watch these instructional videos. :-)

then

[redips2] 13/2/2013 12:01

sorry----£3.35 (fat finger), anyway still kicking.

[v11slr] 12/2/2013 16:04

Over £5 now. :-)

[redips2] 08/2/2013 19:14

Well at least you had a chance to buy stu, I've been in a self bottom kicking contest since £5.35--- been hoping for a fall----fat chance. Still on my watch list, in the vain hope-------

[imastu pidgitaswell] 08/2/2013 16:49

Really pleased I sold up here...

;-(

All I can add is that the one bought with the proceeds has got to go some to do better than nearly 20% in a month...

And next week, we'll find out.

[v11slr] 04/2/2013 07:36

UBS retain as a buy and have increased their price target from 430p to 530p.

[pjhutchy] 31/1/2013 23:17

Good undervalued company with heaps of cash. Cloud computing growing. Not surprised they've upped there target. Wouldn't be supposed If it goes up to 500 or more in a short time

[major clanger] 31/1/2013 09:39

Panmure Gordon continues to maintain its buy rec:

[v11slr] 22/1/2013 10:16

Upgraded by Panmure Gordon to a 'buy' with a 480p target today.

[v11slr] 09/1/2013 08:06

Credit Suisse retain 'outperform' and increase their price target to 493p.

[v11slr] 05/12/2012 16:21

Nice dip to buy in to. I hope! :-)


PS I don't mean Sharon or Sue or whatever her name is.

[redips2] 05/12/2012 16:00

Sue...no, her name is Sharon. :p

[imastu pidgitaswell] 05/12/2012 15:23

Can you sue?

[redips2] 05/12/2012 10:02

Just stop talking about 3.79 and 3.80, when my broker-ette flagged these at 3.00. I then had a second chance at 3.35, and even then more distractions slithered into my life. So stu you can think yourself jolly clever and I'm the double dummy for missing out TWICE!!

[imastu pidgitaswell] 04/12/2012 16:53

Could have cut out the spread, if I'd known you were looking to buy...

:-)
