Bit better now.

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 13:47

Several cases recently where I have bought, only for the stock to plunge
and then recover very nicely.

Hansteen(HSTN) which I built up to my largest position dropped about 4%,
it's ended up being my biggest gainer for 5 years.

With SKG, very worst ways, say the market plunged, long term just collect
the dividends and the Company will grow over the longer term through the cycle.

It's why I tend to stay away from technology, as want to be as sure as possible
that a stock has a good chance of being more profitable in 5/6 years time.

You can miss out on some incredible gains though,
phil is a testament to incredible gains with his BT trade back in the day,
moorsie also mentioned FDP recently which has has rocketed and then rocketed again.

SKG and SMDS pretty well step for step over the last four weeks. Nothing SKG specific by the look of it.

Both bouncing with the market now

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 12:58

Nope red, would be very surprised if that is the case fwiw,
timing an exact buy point is very difficult.

Unless there is news I am not factoring in.

[redartbmud] 05/4/2017 12:39

Dropped a big clanger.
Hey ho.

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 11:25

Oh my beginning to look very ugly now.

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 10:11

Hi red, got a little lucky with WG., two trades this AM.
And admitedly even luckier with BRSN, out of that.


'73, small add.

[redartbmud] 05/4/2017 10:05

In at 2082p.

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 09:54

My worst current "performer' by some way now (.

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 09:01

Would be surprised if so phil, they stress the exec leaving is pursuing
an opportunity outside the sector and the new appointment is a very long
standing employee.

Added at '87, may regret this.

[philanderer] 05/4/2017 08:58

Is this new appointment anything to do with the italian problem ?

[essentialinvestor] 05/4/2017 08:55

Here we go again.

[essentialinvestor] 04/4/2017 20:55

Evening phil, only a guess. Had a scan of the annual report, lots that looks impressive,
at least to my untrained eye ).

[philanderer] 04/4/2017 20:52

Evening EI , yes, profit taking / end of tax year makes sense.

[essentialinvestor] 04/4/2017 17:47

Hi phil, looks like a bit of profit taking to me, got some at 21.02,
just missed another few under 21. Only adding in small amounts.

[philanderer] 04/4/2017 17:36

Good call EI , sell off right on cue again,

Still feeling the effect of this italian job ?

[essentialinvestor] 04/4/2017 14:02

Added a few at 21.08.

SKG has been given to recent rapid late dat sell offs, so watching
in case there may be an opportunity.

[essentialinvestor] 04/4/2017 09:38

What you are also seeing perhaps is some understandable profit taking.
The Dublin listed SKG share price has trebled over the last 4/5 years,
and the main LSE share price is also well ahead since early November.

[philanderer] 03/4/2017 20:30

Good find smicker... definitely the reason for that sell-off friday. Some made a hellava good guess ;-)



'CPI launches new standard for UK’s fresh produce industry'

.....UK’s corrugated firms DS Smith, Saica Pack and Smurfit Kappa have implemented the quality standard to set a standard for packaging of fruits and vegetables.

[smicker] 03/4/2017 19:54

may be the reason for weakness?

[essentialinvestor] 03/4/2017 18:52

Did not get to my next buy level today, will have another look tomorrow.

[philanderer] 31/3/2017 20:54

"2 great ‘safety first’ income stocks for your portfolio"


SKG and IMB

[philanderer] 31/3/2017 17:26

There were also two OT trades at 9:52am this morning, both sells, which would explain the drop at that time.

61,298 @ 2159.6611p
50,000 @ 2160.1599p

And another sell this pm 31,824@ 2148.1465p


Hopefully all into stronger hands now. We'll have to wait until next week to see if the seller's finished.

[essentialinvestor] 31/3/2017 16:36

phil, thanks, hopefully another opportunity Monday.

[philanderer] 31/3/2017 16:33

Oh , there you go.. just printed, delayed from earlier...

102,847 @ 2132.5864p

that`ll be the sell that started the drop.
