clocktower.............Nice tune,spot on, I still remember staying up to watch Dr Hook playing live on the OGWT. They came on as Bay City Rollers, and still have the recording of it. It is on Youtube as well,which you will know anyway.

I think there might be a bit of an opening here for sad old hippy's buying S Gibbons stamps....?

p.s..........Clocktower...........If your at Cambridge Folk Festival next week, The drinks are on me. My now wife and I played there in 1979....!!.....and we still go.
Our daughter is just back from playing gigs in Italy(Tuscany) and leaves to play gigs in Switzerland tomorrow, so she will miss Cambridge.

[briannewby] 20/7/2016 11:14

Moneybags - those were the days... anyone remember GEO interactive media (later renamed Emblaze) and Infobank?

[clocktower] 20/7/2016 11:13

And one for the Brexiteers:

[clocktower] 20/7/2016 11:09

That`s a great tune Moneybags if you want to go up in smoke but I would prefer to lay around underground and spread it around to this tune:

[paul the octopus] 20/7/2016 11:04

anymore left to stamp here?

[moneybags] 20/7/2016 10:57

Gawd, Pace Micro, Those where the days.Calluna going bust.etc
That was mid Dot.com when you gave up trading by 11am because you had already made your 10,000 pounds for the day..........crazy days,that was what sent me to the Isle of Man for a 'Long Holiday'
Do you remember the share trading programme on each day at noon, with it's 'tips'...... Ha..........Close to the wind.

I still morn the passing of Crocodile.Perfect way to go, at the screen.
I want them to cremate me with my laptop when I go.....And play the willie Nelson tune 'Roll me up and smoke me when I die' at my burning......Ha

Good to see an outbreak of old-fashioned English understatement and modesty. Well done, Moneybags and gbh2.

I've been buying post the update, as it seemed to me there was considerable potential upside, once the kithcen-sinking is over.

[gbh2] 20/7/2016 10:39

My first share was Pace Micro 39p, two years later it allowed me to retire, been trying to repeat the exercise ever since :))

[moneybags] 20/7/2016 10:32

Hell gbh2, I had my first share in 1962 (Lonhro with Tiny Rowland)cost 50p a share(listing price), by the 70's it was paying 50p divi each 6 months.Just sold around 3 years ago as takeover happened.
19 years...............So your only 2/3rd's of the way through your apprenticeship then lad.....?

And if you are ever over for the T.T. then stay with us GBH2, Martin Ince stayed with us after he lost his wife, He really enjoyed the T.T. It took his mind off recent events at home in the Cotswolds.He is never at home now.....!!....You have just got to love him.

I mentioned it for no other reason than to add to the banter I'd been posting since buying into SGI.

fwiw - I have two types of investment interest, one is capital gain and a more recent one is dividend income.

I've chased capital gain for 19 years & always had 30% gain as my, not to be ignored selling point, clearly if the share price is rising I'll watch it go beyond, which SGI did when it hit 15p but when the drop back to 14.5p left me with 32% it was good enough.

The cash went into STAF, which (IF I'm right) has both capital gain & dividend potential, time will tell.

SGI remains on my watch list l genuinely hope the company does well.

[sikhthetech] 20/7/2016 10:11

with SGI, trades later today should hopefully provide more clues... higher vol or not...

[2magpies] 20/7/2016 10:10

Yeah.

Buy low. Miraculously.
Sell higher. Miraculously.

Oh, what a wonderful world.

And yet-- and yet -- still won't pay that little amount to be a bluey.

Yeah yeah yeah...

[sikhthetech] 20/7/2016 10:10

I've come across gbh2 on 2 of my other shares.. he's been consistent with his views, so I've no reason not to believe what he's saying...

[clocktower] 20/7/2016 10:07

Well done gbh2 but will your 30% be 30% if you buy back in or will it become 0% or 60%+ ? That`s trading!

[waldof] 20/7/2016 09:55

I suspect we will go better later today, whatever was brewing yesterday and before was more than a flash in the proverbial.....the volume tells you something.
My thoughts only I should add.

[moneybags] 20/7/2016 09:45

gbh2 is one of thee 'old school' on this site,(in the year of our lord 2016) and if he said he sold, then he sold.
You soon find out on this site who to ignore.

[sikhthetech] 20/7/2016 09:35

over the past 2 days, we've had a move up later in the day...will we get the same today???

[2magpies] 20/7/2016 09:34

Course you did.

LOL.

[gbh2] 20/7/2016 09:22

I sold yesterday when my profit topped 30%, unsure if I'll buy more atm.

[clocktower] 20/7/2016 09:07

Run it up now run it down but how far?

[moneybags] 19/7/2016 18:48

I suspect the results are with the printers at present.......!!!!!!!!!
I will stop there.
