People trading again. With hindsight...might have done the same.

[bamboo2] 30/7/2018 11:51

Bought back in this morning as price hits two potential turns, historical support, and approx 50% retrace of prior rise.

Re AT trades,

[aimingupward2] 27/7/2018 20:04

Thanks for responding, scooper. None of those overlap with my holdings, but I'll have a look over them in due course as I'm really not familiar with them, except Volvere.

[scooper72] 27/7/2018 19:59

Also in SPSY and SMDS at the moment. And a few other things but don't want to bore everyone with an exhausting list.

[scooper72] 27/7/2018 19:56

FDEV have about 1.8k in. Had been looking at them for a while and went in a bit too close to the top. So down about 16 percent. But only bought a few to dip my toe in. I don't really understand the company well enough yet and they have this game that my teenage boys don't play so need to read up on them a bit more. Wish I had obviously been less tentative 9 months ago and bought some earlier. I'll have a look at that other game related one. You mentioned. It is an industry that I feel is going to be robust over the next few years. XLM I am still in but got stung a bit by the drop, as with TAP.

[scooper72] 27/7/2018 19:44

Yes. Missed fevertree. Was in paysafe before it got sold. Have about 10k in Volvere. Another 10k in PFC, which I got to hear about on one of these boards as a recovery play. AB Dynamics, Joules, Fulcrum. bought a few equinity today as that looks like it reached its support and bounced of it. Have a little in Somero which I would like to build a position in. Alliance Pharma also.

[aimingupward2] 27/7/2018 18:58

Idle curiosity, scooper, and perhaps you don't want to divulge it anyway, but what have you put the other 55% into? XLM and FDEV perhaps, as you've posted a little there, but overwhelmingly you post here.

Have you considered LTG and ACSO which have been, and are likely to continue to be, comparably successful with KWS? I presume you missed Fevertree? - though if it takes off in the USA it'll have a new lease of life.

P.S. I think you're right about sticking with KWS for a couple of years, or more. I has huge opportunities ahead of it.

[scooper72] 27/7/2018 16:41

Well. Bought a few 5k chunks when they were about 270p and then sold most before 1000p and then went back in with a much larger buy in my SIPP for 40k which is now up by 57 percent. And then a few weeks ago put about 20 percent (24k) of my ISA in and that is now up by 13 percent. Thinking this time round I should leave most of them alone for a couple of years at least.

[panic investor] 27/7/2018 16:04

45% blimey

[trewsa] 27/7/2018 14:58

Surely AT trades are stop buy and stop losses?

[scooper72] 27/7/2018 12:51

Also just took a little bit of profit. Just to keep this under 45 percent of my portfolio

[mad foetus] 27/7/2018 12:03

Trimmed holding at 1954

[scooper72] 26/7/2018 16:35

Well. We stayed above 1900. Probably more important than keeping Todays surge at the close of trading.

[bamboo2] 26/7/2018 14:30

AT trades are automatic trades. Afaik these are algorithm driven in response to preset parameters. I have sometimes seen them respond to my own O trades.

Given that these kind of trades are virtually zero cost, tiny trades can take place quite regularly.

[skirbell] 26/7/2018 13:10

It's more likely to be some nominee account out by 1 share, perhaps through rounding or currency changes. Or small holders re-investing their dividend and 1 share being all they're able to buy. There's probably loads more valid reasons.

[panic investor] 26/7/2018 12:32

They say news with 1 share but I've never subscribed to that - probably just a bit of tidying up somewhere

[aimingupward2] 26/7/2018 10:05

About 25 trades of 1 share have just gone through! Can anyone with market knowledge please explain, or hazard a guess, why this might be. It seems bizarre.

[scooper72] 26/7/2018 09:28

Yes, nice to see the price strengthen over this week. The lesson for me here is that although diversification has its strengths, if I can find a company that does well for me and that I get to know, then no harm in making it a v substantial part of my portfolio. Or more briefly - run your winners, even top them up and don't take profits too early.

[aimingupward2] 26/7/2018 09:05

Afterthought, scooper72. Sometimes it’s called a trading update - a ‘t.u.’

A good start this morning, as anticipated, so the all time high looks increasingly like being firmly established.

[scooper72] 25/7/2018 23:28

Thanks. No, I've only been on ADVFN for a year or so.

[aimingupward2] 25/7/2018 22:45

'A trading statement' and, yes, 'all time high'. I'd thought these were familiar abbreviations on these boards, but apologise if I didn't make myself clear.

[scooper72] 25/7/2018 22:10

Ats is short for.... ath I assume is all time high?

[bamboo2] 25/7/2018 18:57

Not sure there has been one on a Friday before, but could be wrong.

Previous updates around this time of year include....
