That's the aim Wipo - profits. I was doing quite a lot of that when the markets were more volatile but missed out on a couple of major profits by selling out too soon [TW.] being one of those. Now I have some long-terms and some which I intend to dip in and out of.

Well done Rabbar great price. £3.80 looks the top of market maybe £4.00 at a push for ALNT. I sold some vsvs because of weakness in europe strong pound as well. Needed funds for Statoil on Friday now sold that on the bouce happy days pity about expensive exchange rate fees. Still a profit in bank.

Wipo sold about 1/4 of holding at £3.80 but still hold a fair amount. Think if markets remain stable will go back up so may buy back same amount but want to hold some cash if markets show signs of jitters. Still think there may be some problems due to Greece and our own elections coming up.

Hi Rabbar, Well done ALNT, I hope you got out at better price than me, I got caught in bear trap or when JP Morgan selling, I would not chase now, would buy lower down, good luck.

Hi Wipo, thanks totally missed the RNS. Sold some ALNT prior to Greece elections to hold some cash. Typically though result has hardly affected market (yet). Might buy back if price falls below 350.

I sold a 1000 odd at 441.7p trimming my portfolio, would rather scalp a few points here and there and sit on mostly cash. Just a bit nervous with overnight positions

Hello Rabbar I am still watching mgam, I do prefer vsvs though. I will do some research and get back to you.

[rabbar] 05/1/2015 15:35

I think, like a lot of people, I must have missed the RNS about the proposed merger falling through which was mentioned 1st December. Anyone know anything about the other company Morgan Advanced Materials?

[wipo1] 11/12/2014 11:30

Does anyone know any reason for fall today? I don't have flash headline access!

Interim Management statement looks ok, However I don't like the use of the 'challenging' word being used a few times. Just a hold for me atm not adding.

Codek - I would not take much notice of broker notes. Ubs last month upgraded the stock obviously to suck in buyers to allow their clients to sell.

Seems analyst confidence is falling too, also on no news. However, still implies an 11% upside from here hxxp://sleekmoney.com/investec-trims-vesuvius-plc-target-price-to-gbx-450-vsvs/36654/

Broke 410p now. I am breaking my rules not selling here. Stop loss shifted to 399p

[wipo1] 10/10/2014 09:49

Rabbar Yes sounds wise not to panic, there is no major fundamental change that we known of atm. My gut feeling is we are near the bottom as long as we hold 410p. Still sitting on my hands but very tempted to drip feed a few at these low prices. Good luck

[wipo1] 10/10/2014 09:45

Codek - You can't rule out someone has info of forthcoming bad news, but it does look like a cyclical stocks sell off everything from gkn mro to tw. Ect.

[rabbar] 10/10/2014 09:37

Hi wipo1, no money to invest at the moment otherwise might be tempted also, but not too concerned regarding drop. Just taking dividends and waiting for Cevian to show their hand regarding these but mainly with Alent.

[codek] 10/10/2014 08:38

The woes for vsvs seem more than brutal markets though. Whereas ftse hasnt moved in the last year, vsvs is now down 10%. yet there's no news? Does someone know something perhaps?

[wipo1] 09/10/2014 16:31

No probs Rabbar glad you got the div ok. I hope you are not too badly hit in these brutal markets. Vsvs is one of the few stocks I kept I am tempted to top up but sitting on my hands atm.

[rabbar] 07/10/2014 09:56

Thanks for the reply wipo1, got it on the 26th also but HL puts it into a different account, which I found out when I had a look around on the site.

[wipo1] 06/10/2014 17:45

I got mine on put in holding account on 26th Sep. I Hope you have yours by now Rabbar

[rabbar] 30/9/2014 11:36

Anyone got a dividend payment recently. According to information dividend was payable on the 26th but yet to receive any payment.
