Good Morning to you and to other early birds here.

Re:Jumping the gun and keeping powder dry.
I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge of the stock market with me and others here and you are the one making money.

I hope that you agree with me that we will get another contract announcement sooner or later so I will recover my money.

Re:buying a 1/3 amount only,I don't think that I said in my posts,how much Petro I bought this time but you were right.I bought £30k again.

However,I could have chosen to resell it within 30 minutes or so for 439 and made a quick profit of £275 but I chose not to.

As you know,it had tested the support twice at around 434.5 and the resistance once at about 439 and it appeared to be on its way back up to test the resistance again but it never got there.

I will try to resist buying more unless it really plumbs the depths.

I need to practise what you and I preach.

Cinquepercento.
You jump the gun to fast. Had you waited you would have done better.
Always buy a 1/3 amount and watch what the share price does during the rest of the day and keep dry powder handy,always.

ob123. Was that question directed at me??

Adejuk you will do OK.
MidasX on filter.

Lol cheers. 420 is a strong possibility. Obviously my opinion lol

[torres10] 21/9/2017 17:57

AdejukDid you sell the rest you was holding?

[adejuk] 21/9/2017 16:54

hope i don't regret ano 5k at 432

[torres10] 21/9/2017 16:49

I know exactly why this dropped today and i have 5000 shares invested inthis for the past 2 months so naturallly i knew the date. Your still making me chuckle.

[woodhawk] 21/9/2017 16:40

Hardly surprising you miss the point... as well as the dividend. LOL.

[torres10] 21/9/2017 16:27

Also just by knowing the date of x div means your opinion carries weight. You do make me chuckle.

[torres10] 21/9/2017 16:25

Woodhawk if it makes you feel better regarding the share price then my opinion does not count and this will fly.I did know the ex div date was today just wanted to confirm if i was to top up today of it would be included.

[cinquepercento] 21/9/2017 16:24

Harsh but fair,Woodhawk. :-)

[woodhawk] 21/9/2017 16:18

Seeing as how you didn't know when the ex-dividend date is, and thus had no clue as to why the 'drop' today, I guess your opinion doesn't carry much weight, torres10!!

[torres10] 21/9/2017 16:15

I think this is will be at 420 tomorrow

[woodhawk] 21/9/2017 16:13

All good Gary, reaped some large profits in GVC. Patiently waiting to get back in there. Nice trading here in PFC while I await the next upwards jump. Got a lot of cash awaiting on the sidelines.

I sold before the ex-d and have bought back in at a nicely lower price today. So I have an enhanced divi already in my pocket. Ta.

[cinquepercento] 21/9/2017 15:59

It looks as if the support of 435 or so is about to be tested for the third time.

If it holds,then I suppose that it will be back up to try the 439 resistance again.

435 support has not held so it should go below 430 unless people start buying back in before close for tomorrow.

[garycook] 21/9/2017 15:49

Woody.Thank you.How are you doing ? Torres10.PFC went XD at 8am this morning.You would have needed to buy before yesterdays close.

[torres10] 21/9/2017 15:48

If i topped up today i would still be entitled to the dividend right?

[woodhawk] 21/9/2017 15:46

Yes, Gary, that's what the PFC website says - 9.4p

[garycook] 21/9/2017 15:45

The Dividend is around 9.40p with the GBP/USD rate at 1.35

[cinquepercento] 21/9/2017 15:28

Back up to 439 or so.

I could sell for a couple of hundred profit right now for 30 minutes work but I will probably hold.
