rabbar

Thanks for the clarification. I have to confess I was too lazy/tired to look it up. I could just about remember that there had been some activity a while ago.

Well done for holding on to Alnt.

"Didn't Vesuvius spurn Mgam a while ago?"


Was mgam that turned down a merger with Vsvs.


Hi Wipo

Hope all is well. Are you still mainly in cash? Alnt was a good result for me as I still held the majority of the shares I held when Cevian bought in. Not very often it has happened. Seen quite a few shares I sold too early rocket in the past.

Remember that the two were split out of Cookson because they operated in different markets.
Having said that they were both considered as vulnerable to takeover on demerger.
I just wonder if the foundry industry is a bit too precarious for takeovers in the present economic climate.

Didn't Vesuvius spurn Mgam a while ago?

Just my thoughts.

Bob you never know. I would say it looks worth having a few vsvs at current levels.There is a article in the ft about alent takeover it mentions vsvs as another possible candidate.

The other half of Cookson just got a bid and put the price up 44% +150p

Any chance for VSVS?

Hi Rabbar hope you are well. Markets tough at present I am 90pc cash. Picked up another 350 vsvs after I saw Morgan Stanley topped up. Other than that sitting on my hands. Hope you are not too badly affected.

[wipo1] 12/6/2015 07:40

Looks like I got in a bit early only bought 350 so can add further down. I saw on the news a couple of days ago that tata steel workers on strike over pensions. I remember a informed poster mentioned about pension problem here.

Hi Rabbar well done selling at 460p. I am only drip feeding small amounts into market atm. Will have a look at stocks you mentioned. Take care

Hi Wipo


Sold some (small amount of my holding at about £4.60) but I think you've done a good thing buying back in at the current level. No spare cash at the moment pondering whether to take about 20% profit on EDEN which I was monitoring shortly before it took off but decided to invest last week. Now tempted to hold long term, was also looking at OPM but didn't invest.

Take care

[wipo1] 10/6/2015 16:21

Hi Rabbar hope you are well. I am back in vsvs small amount atm.

[wipo1] 20/5/2015 14:38

No problem Rabbar it does look good value to me. It also does help a lot with no stamp duty for trading purposes.Good luck.

[rabbar] 20/5/2015 09:26

Thanks for the tip wipo, think I will try a few trades in these as the attractive thing is that they are free of stamp duty.
Haven't looked at them since I sold my free shares a few years back - acquired because I banked with the abbey.

[wipo1] 19/5/2015 12:36

Hi Rabbar, I am still here. Hope you are well. Well done with banking shares.I am watching bnc looks decent value in banking but need to research more.I am also looking to scalp a few points with short term trades. I can't see much atmTake care

[rabbar] 18/5/2015 14:27

Hi Wipo

Wasn't sure whether you was still monitoring the Board so good to hear from you. I've been trading bank shares since the 2008 crash and they are my largest holding - been holding for the last few years rather than trading them so thought it was a good time to take some profit. May buy back if they fall a few pence.

Anything I buy now will be looking for a short term profit.


Take Care.

[wipo1] 18/5/2015 12:40

Hi Rabbar hope you are well. Looks worth holding vsvs I guess I was hoping to buy lower down but might buy back in soon.Well done lloyds, ironically I have not traded any bank shares since I sold my free Halifax shares lolNothing much I fancy atm lvd doing well tempted to cash in. Also sold rmg at not a bad profitCatch up later take care

[rabbar] 15/5/2015 08:41

Hi Wipo, was going to alert you to the RNS showing slight negative growth. Think any significant shareprice movement up will only be through M&A (Hoping they re-visit the MGAM merger). I'm still holding some though until Cevian show their hand regarding their future plans.

Sold some LLOY so looking for a short term play at the moment.

[wipo1] 14/5/2015 15:28

Hi Rabbar sold out my remaining small amount vsvs moved into MRO

[wipo1] 08/5/2015 10:09

Hi Rabbar Yes I must say I was slightly confused and stayed mostly neutral overnight. luckilly closed my pound short on euro at 1.35. I had in the back of my mind a chap from Glasgow put on 30k on a tory majority made me think he knows something I don't.Have a good weekend. I think the ftse party is short term and will ease off next week. so still sitting on my hands for now

[rabbar] 08/5/2015 08:53

Hi Wipo

Just goes to show what I know (lol), Didn't see this coming at all. My lloy holding doing great this morning which was one of the ones I was going to part sell yesterday but didn't hit limit price.

[wipo1] 07/5/2015 14:06

Hi Rabbar hope you are well, I have not done much either. mostly in cash atm waiting to drip feed some cash slowly into markets . Not bought any vsvs yet but watching with interest bounced off 444p again. Good luck and take carep.s sometimes no trade is best trade and keep what stocks you have unless fundamentals change

[rabbar] 07/5/2015 08:37

Hi Wipo

Hope you are well too. Haven't done much the last week or so, with hindsight I should have sold a few positions. Suspect after the elections the market may move further downwards or be volatile for a period. Have a few divi's coming so that may see me through.
Hope you are right with this one (believe there is a trading statement soon)

Take Care

[wipo1] 06/5/2015 18:42

Hi Rabbar hope you had a good holiday weekend. Looking at the chart on vsvs it looks like a good time for a top up. Weak pound should help. Will keep my powder dry until friday right enough to see how election goes.

[wipo1] 27/4/2015 14:21

Hi Rabbar, yeah always happens to me as well. I sold some vsvs a good few weeks ago at 442p and 460p then to watch it go up to 515p lol luckily set a trailing loss at 500p and sold a few at that price lol.Looking to buy these ones back now.Good luck.

[rabbar] 27/4/2015 11:22

Hi Wipo

No I think the shareprice movement was due to me selling some last week to do another short term trade (which I'm still in), always happens.

[wipo1] 24/4/2015 08:05

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