What's your thought process on your current holdings Gateside? What would you buy more of, sell or hold?

[gateside] 08/1/2017 08:46

Still got a soft spot for ANTO think copper could do well with new US Administration, they also mine some gold.Though feel I should add another Financial. Like CBG that you mentioned, also fancy AV. and PRU - though they are all near 52 week highs and would want the Market to fall back before buying any of them. Still like STAN as well. Quite like SBRY, they have been underperforming against TSCO, though not sure about whole sector, which is why I sold TSCO a while back. Competitive sector and there is a lot of pressure on margins.Like CTEC which was promoted to ftse100 in December Lots of shares to keep an eye on.Plus there are a few in my portfolio that I am tempted to sell too.

Created a new spreadsheet for my shares. (Improved and simpler than previous versions, so will be easier to keep track of everything)

You have done a lot of digging and researching there nasdaqpat. You have my current portfolio of 24 shares totally correct!

Off to a good start with initial gains standing at 0.9%

Been away without WiFi.

Looks like I have lots of interesting posts to catch up on.

Also need to set up new spreadsheet with figures for '17

[nasdaqpat] 07/1/2017 10:58

STAN looks to be in recovery mode so will probably keep indefinitely.

TUI looks to be a strong growth story so we are unlikely to sell at current levels.

VOD 's performance has been unconvincing and we may sell if it manages to get to 220p.

WTB has a peculiar wave pattern and am unclear of its direction. The jury is out on this one but will probably keep as a good trading stock if nothing else.

RR. put in a decent 2 month, 4 wave recovery of 48.9% (588p:875.5p) between beginning of Jun and beginning of Aug 2016 and has now drifted back down to 635p on 05 Jan. Around there could be a tertiary base (original base was 497p in Feb 2016) so could be worth holding for the forseeable.

SBRY has under performed MRW & TSCO for most of last year. Hoping for better fortunes following on from the ARGOS purchase. One of our key holdings.

SGE is UK's only FTSE100 software company and worth holding at current levels.

SHP is our core Pharmie holding so we will be keeping an interest.

SKY was half sold on the M&A announcement and we will sell the other half north of 1050p.

JMAT often puts in its best work (SP wise) at the end of a Phase but appears to have short-term peaked @ 3568p on 14 Oct 2016 and has been in correction mode since then. I am targeting c2824p. It may, however, put in a c09.0% Phantom from its current base of 3004p on 05 Dec 2016 so I intend to sell @ c3274p.

LGEN looks to be in the process of establishing a second, three wave segment following on from the initial 160.5p:226.7p three wave advance. I fancy it could reach c276p whereupon we would sell.

PRU looks like it is filling a gap after a strong run from 09 Nov (1290p:1649p) which was the fourth wave in a sequence stretching back to 1096p in Jun 2016. It will probably complete its Segment @ c1692.75p whereupon we will sell.

PSN has probably just completed its second wave @ yesterday's 1971p. We will be holding for a third wave at least and looking for north of 2100p.

[nasdaqpat] 07/1/2017 10:11

BLT will probably put in a sixth wave of c14% from 1255p on 23 Dec 2016 and reach c1430.75p before correcting its gains from Jul 2016 starting @ 903.4p. We will sell at the top of the sixth.

CPI (the dog) has shown signs of life recently and is likely to put in a third wave advance from c480p. We are holding for a longer term recovery.

DC. appears to have been harshly treated as part of the Retail sell-off so we intend to hold for a more realistic valuation.

IAG may have short-term peaked @ yesterday's 475.7p. The company has been priced for 'trouble ahead' for sometime now. No smoke without fire so may sell next week.

[nasdaqpat] 07/1/2017 09:53

In the meantime, we are quite happy to keep banking profits and gradually reduce our overall equity exposure. We now have 20 FTSE100 companies and some of these will soon have to go. I nearly sold IAG on Friday as it has put in a 5 wave advance since June worth 41.1% (337.1p:475.7p) and could now correct back to below 400p.

ABF could be in a longer term down trend due to pressure on PRIMARK but last week's 2573p could be the base for a third Up wave of c12% to c2882p at which point I will probably bail.

BA. may well have formed a fifth wave base @ 580.5p. I expect it to put on c09.50% so will look to bail @ c635.50p albeit it looks to be in a longer term Up trend so we may hold through its correction.

BARC is a key holding for us so we will probably hold. Currently I expect it to put in a sixth wave of c12% and reach c246.5p before correcting the gains from Jun 2016 starting @ 121.1p.

DOW's failure to register a meaningful give back (with the 7 day decline from 19988 to 19719) means that it is probably best to treat 17884:20000 as an 11.83%, 42 day (thus far), single wave advance which may or may not constitute the entirety of DOW's Segment 4.

Hopefully, some degree of normality will return to markets before Q1 is over.

[nasdaqpat] 07/1/2017 09:16

American indices may well have quite a bit of further upside but I suspect FTSE100 is close to an interim top having put on 31.13% (5500:7212) since last Feb (227 days).

SPX, in particular, is quite a bit behind FTSE100 having only put on 26.08% (1810:2282) in the same timeframe. NAS100 has fared a little better @ 29.11% (3889:5021) and NASCOMP has performed better still with a 31.52% rally (4210:5537).

Meanwhile DOW's corresponding performance has led to a gain of 29.44% (15451:20000) although it actually started its rally much earlier with the 24 Aug 2015 low of 15370 so it is actually 30.12% ahead for the Phase as a whole.

SPX is probably the one to keep an eye on and I'll be surprised if it doesn't put on at least 29.00% before its Phase correction so it should reach at least 2335 during Q1 2017. Note that it is currently only in Segment 3 which started @ 2084 on 07 Nov 2016 so it may put in a Segmental correction first and require a fourth Segment before registering its Phase peak.

Well done, Invisage!

Is that 01.40% (2 decimal places please)?

[invisage] 06/1/2017 22:05

Good estimate Pat. Up 1.4% YTD actually.

Those Spreeadbetters are recovering well and DOM as well as SWDA doing the business for me.

Day 4 of the new year saw our investments market perform against the FTSE100 with a 0.19% gain as opposed to 0.21% for FTSE100. We had 28 Shares Up & 19 Down.

The week as a whole was good with our investments improving 01.24%. That was a moderate out performance against the FTSE100 which was Up 00.94% (7143:7210). Overall, our assets were Up 00.62% on the week. The calendar year performance table is shown below. Note that the historic annual dividend yields for FTSE100 (+3.72%), FTSE AS (+3.46%) & FTSE250 (+2.62%) will be apportioned at the rate of one twelfth on the last complete week of each month so e.g. FTSE100 performance will be increased by 00.31% on 27 Jan :-

FTSE250~~~~~+01.46%~~(18077:18341 + 00.00% Dividend Yield)
Invisage~~~~+01.40%~~(Strong start to year for Mr 100% Invested)
FTSE AS~~~~~+01.06%~~(3873:3914 + 00.00% Dividend Yield)
FTSE100~~~~~+00.94%~~(7143:7210 + 00.00% Dividend Yield)
Gateside~~~~+00.90%~~(Solid start)
Videans~~~~~+00.62%~~(Reasonable start)

Banked some more Tracker profits this week so, despite re-buying 3 more companies in SIPPs, our overall stock level reduced to 45.9% from 50.0% at the start of the year. FTSE100 Tracker investments have fallen to just 15.7% of available cash.

Virtually no movement on Jobs Report day...more volatility please Vicar!

[nasdaqpat] 06/1/2017 10:11

Gateside,

I guess you are on your way back from Spain!

Day 3 of the new year was good for our investments which moderately outperformed FTSE100 with a 0.48% gain as opposed to 0.08% for FTSE100 (although FTSE250 & FTSETechmark were the real stars of the day). We had 31 Shares Up, 15 Down and 1 Unchanged. Stock level rose to 47.4%.

[nasdaqpat] 05/1/2017 09:57

Gateside/Invisage,

I hope you don't mind but I have set up monitors that list your companies so I can keep an eye on progress. I think I have all of Invisage's 33 companies but I am missing 1 of Gateside's 24. Which one is it please Gateside? These are the ones I currently have:-

ABF, AMFW, AZN, BLT, BMS, BRCI, BRFI, DGE, GSK, HSBA, JEMI, JLEN, JMAT, MNKS, NG., PNN, PZC, RDSB, RIO, SHRE, SSE, TUI & VOD.
