My theory is a tree shake with a whole lot of stop losses being triggered. Unfortunately I was stopped out at 611 and didn't have the balls to jump back in.

15 months ago I was advised not to touch this with a bargepole, but since then my holding has nearly doubled. I am now wondering whether to leave something on the table for the next man, or to hold on for the Christmas boom.

Out at 367. Nice little earner!

Bloody hell! Left too much for the next man! Well done those who stuck with it.

SUNDAY TIMES

There was a time when Electrocomponents appeared doomed to irrelevance, says John Collingridge in this week’s Inside the City Column in the Sunday Times.

The firm was founded in the 1920s as a catalogue business selling spare parts for radios and then crashed out of the FTSE 100 in 2002 into a decade of obscurity.

Collingridge describes it as the ‘Amazon of electronics’ and says the Oxford-based firm has more than 500,000 of these products in stock, ready to be shipped out next day.

The past 18 months have made investors take notice of it again with shares more than doubling in 2016 led by boss Lindsley Ruth.

Full-year results this week should see profits set to soar to £125m on sales of £1.5bn but Electrocomponents is still a minnow in a market worth somewhere north of £250bn.

It has momentum, says Collingridge, a recovering global economy and a factory revolution from the new “internet of things” on its side. Buy.

When you've set such high expectations from the last results anything else is a disappointment. NVDA's had the same problem recently there. But long term, after the dip this investment will be fine as a dividend stock, it's all nuts & bolts
