Hi TLATSATT,

Yes - wow - it adds up doesn't it?

I guess a lot of investors never stop to add up the cost of their trading activity but they should do - I bet they would be surprised and a bit shocked at the money involved. It can really accumulate over time.

WB makes a good point about this:

He says that investors should be issued with a card when they start investing. The card is punched every time they make an investment - but they are only allowed to make 20 punches in the card during their life time.

Buffett says those investors would end up very wealthy. Why? Because with so few investment opportunities they would spend far more time looking for a really good opportunity that they really understood and which had great and realistic potential. They would really do their homework and spread their net far and wide to find an outstanding investment idea.

Each investment would be such a rare and valuable chance to improve their wealth that they would make a lot of effort in not wasting it or getting it wrong or investing in a second rate opportunity that might gain a little bit but not much.

Buffett says these investors would end up far more wealthy than others who could make all the investments they wanted and therefore made them without giving them much thought or really trying to find an outstanding opportunity.

When I read that comment by WB it really made me think - and I realised how flippantly I invest at the first thing that grabs my attention. And then soon after I have to reverse the trade when I it becomes obvious there is some negative aspect to the company that even a little bit of research would easily have revealed if I had done it before I made my purchase.

Cheers

HAVING RECENTLY taken his leave of one Irish exploration company, Petroceltic, veteran natural resources executive John Craven this week emerged as the head of another.

Craven joined Lapp Plats – now to be known as Cove Energy – as chief executive with non-executive chairman Tom O'Gorman standing aside to allow Michael Blaha, country chairman for Shell in Algeria, take on the role. Craven is expected to hit the ground running. The company said its focus now would be on securing "early stage" oil and gas assets and Craven is believed to have a couple of potential prospects firmly in his sights.

He is also likely to tap investors for fresh funding. Cove has about £1 million in the bank but will need more firepower if it is to progress anything of significance.

Craven has also decided to ditch its listing on the ISX junior stock exchange in Dublin but will continue to be listed on London's AIM market.

this seems to be ticking up on every small buy that goes through . imagine the reaction if a deal is announced , at the moment i would think this share is of the radar of 99% of investors ,when a deal is struck there will be a lot of people wanting to climb on board .the only problem at the moment is that we are in the dark as to what is going on
anybody any thoughts on this?

Mark - professional private investor? Does it pay as much as the City job?

No, just have good contacts, having previously worked in the city for many years (now a professional private investor)

Still haven't caught up with the news on Lapp Plats, hope to get round to it this week
