Ok Rabbar good luck with your trading. I noticed Tatasteel has being rallying seems to have helped vsvs price a little.Enjoy your weekend.

[rabbar] 22/4/2015 08:53

No worries Wipo.Got a few of yours on my watchlist now. Will have to sell some positions first though.

Ps Alnt looks strong bounced off 378-380p trendline. Worth tucking away a few 888 incase another bid comes in. I will defo buy a few of these anywhere near 140p.

Thanks very much for the info Rabbar. That is a beer I owe you.

Hi WIPO.

Good luck with that. I'm fully invested at the moment looking to sell my last 2 short term trades in ALNT & 888 when they get back in profit (thought I got back in too early)

found this

Hedge funds have bet on a fall in the share price of Carillion, according to the Sunday Times. The percentage of shares out on loan has hit 15.6%, research firm Markit said. It is one of the biggest short positions in the FTSE 350. The short sellers are targeting the construction company's lack of growth, exposure to slumping oil markets and pension deficit. Short sellers borrow a company's shares and sell them, hoping to make a profit by buying them back if the share price falls.

Hi Rabbar I am looking to pick up a very small amount about 500 shares made a decent profit on Bp. I am also looking at CLLN but the large stock on loan for shorting worries me a bit.

Hi Rabbar I had a good weekend thanks. I am tempted to add but I am a bit wary buying anything atm with the election coming up.

[rabbar] 20/4/2015 21:31

Hi wipo, hope the weekend was good. You thinking of adding - always difficult calling the bottom.Think they may flatline for a while until an major trading update.

[wipo1] 20/4/2015 16:15

Looking at the vsvs chart looks like pretty close to the bottom. Broker note on weak u.s steel production looks over done.

Hi Rabbar, Well done on your trading. Thanks for info on Cenkos will do some research.Yes you are right to avoid aim. I only bought small amounts of caml and lvd. I don't buy many small caps due to spread and risk.I am looking to get back in alnt a bit lower down, guess I got this wrong selling at 330p. Can't win them all. Also would buy some vsvs around 440p.All the best Have a good weekend.

Hi Wipo

No, nothing at the moment just range trading on dips from my watchlist at the moment, have some long term holdings LLOY,BARC,RBS,EMG,ALNT,VSVS. Was tempted with some oil stocks (CNE,TLW)which have fallen but was cautious to dip my toes in the water - they have shot up in the past week.

Most of my recent trading has been with ALNT & MGAM recently - been in and out about 8 times on these recently - back in this morning on ALNT but probably too high. Looking for RMG & CNKS to fall back to hopefully get entry points. Don't do too much with AIM as not enough trading occurs and spreads make them difficult to trade.

Hi Rabbar good to hear from you too Thanks for the info on interactive broker will look into that. I still hold small amount of vsvs.Elsewhere long small caps LVD and CAML. Also hold BP and RMG ftse. I traded drax again now out. Hold Gdf Suez and Repsol euro markets and bought Intel Us.Anything catching your eye?All the best

Hi Wipo

Good to hear from you wasn't sure whether you were still a holder of VSVS. Haven't sold my holding as yet.
I've signed up to an additional Broker (Interactive Broker) so I can submit trades directly to the market, to get better entry/exit points for my shorter term trades using level 2 data. Takes a bit of getting used to & would recommend although it has a couple of drawbacks (waiting from trades to settle before reinvesting being the main one)

What are you trading at the moment?

[wipo1] 15/4/2015 11:04

Thanks for the info Rabbar I hope you are well.

[codek] 25/3/2015 08:26

Seems to have peaked earlier in the week on the results and trickling back down now?

[codek] 03/3/2015 10:08

haha that is the very definition of resistance, 500p! Come on...

[codek] 03/3/2015 07:13

7.5% increase in dividend for May and :

"Strong margin improvement"

Sounds good. Who knows what the market will think in 45 mins.

[wipo1] 02/3/2015 19:36

Thanks Rabbar You too good luck. I am also looking to add some more Royal Mail.all the best

[rabbar] 02/3/2015 18:01

Thanks for the reply wipo. Good luck with your trades.

[wipo1] 02/3/2015 17:08

P.S I am not sure why Drax went down. Stocks have been very volatile with broker notes these days.

[wipo1] 02/3/2015 16:42

Hi Rabbar hope you are well. Well done on Alent. Yes you are right to be cautious. Still looks strong resistance on chart at 480p trebble top on 1 month and 3 month chart I still hold few sold some too early as usual.Very small amount of drax trailing stop is 399 so clinging on, bought and sold a few times. lost a few points on last lot I bought switched into euro shares gdf suez and Repsol.Good luck

[rabbar] 02/3/2015 15:41

Hi Wipo - Hope all is well with you. Tempting though it may, with results out tomorrow I don't fancy trading in this at the moment. Sold my last short term buy in alent today @368 for about 7.5% profit,which I purchased on 13 feb. Didn't think results today would see a rise but proved wrong. Reinvested in EMG for another short term play.

You still in Drax? See they have fallen today 3.3%. Can't find any info about this, any reason for this that you are aware of?

[wipo1] 02/3/2015 10:59

Looks like a breakout :)
