What is your largest holding now then?

[gateside] 22/2/2017 17:44

Excluding cash (sorry spreadsheet not to hand) probably around 6.5% of portfolio.

[gateside] 22/2/2017 17:41

HSBA has been bouncing around between 2nd and 4th largest of my holdings.May be back up to 2nd after today.

[nasdaqpat] 22/2/2017 17:20

Nice bounce back by HSBA won't have done you any harm! I seem to remember its your largest holding.

What percentage of your portfolio (including cash) is HSBA anyway?

[gateside] 22/2/2017 17:13

Ok... maybe I can't count!12 up3 level10 down

[nasdaqpat] 22/2/2017 16:54

Re-bought small amount of RTO (may ease back on imminent finals) so up to 48 companies.

Our investments slightly underperformed against the FTSE100 today with a 0.16% gain as opposed to 0.38% for FTSE100. Of the now 48 shares, we had 26 Up, 18 Down & 4 Unchanged. Stock level 65.1%.

Anybody thinking this is topping out......all those acquisitions....... multibagger since 2008.......Criteria half metP

Not to worry, Gateside, HSBA are good value again and you have done well on them...the egg is actually on my face cos I stupidly sold them on 3 Oct 2016 @ 589p and that was a month before I started semi-converting to FTSE100 trackers.

I seem to have a habit of holding on to poor performers and selling the good ones far too prematurely...I have lost a fair bit on AZN, BATS, BOY, CCL, DGE, GSK, HSBA, IHG, III, PAG, RIO, SDR, SNR, SXS, ULVR & WOS. Probably lost an average of c12% on each of 16 companies. Not as bad as it sounds but our portfolio would still be about 2% richer if we had held them to their optimum prices.

However, most were offlined for a profit and we may well have ultimately rotated into other good performing stocks and latterly the FTSE100 trackers will have taken up some of the slack.

BTW, you are right; there is no stamp duty on TUI.

HSBA - hard to make sense of their results. Seem to be sending out lots of mixed messages.But they are on a PE of just 11 and are yielding 6.2%As I am light on Financials I did not take any profit before today. Too bad. As they made quite a dent in my portfolio.

All 4 indices created new aths again today!

[nasdaqpat] 21/2/2017 16:54

Our investments moderately outperformed against the FTSE100 today with a 0.16% gain as opposed to a decline of (0.34%) for FTSE100. Of the now 47 shares, we had 22 Up, 21 Down & 4 Unchanged. Stock level 64.6%.

[gateside] 21/2/2017 15:54

Wonder then if I didn't pay any stamp duty on TUI, as their main market is Germany? Will need to check.Any savings when buying shares helps.

[nasdaqpat] 21/2/2017 15:41

Gateside, what do you make of the reaction to HSBA's results?

The share price has put in 4 pukka Up waves since the 07 Apr 2016 low of 413.95p with subsequent bases @ 432.15p, 588.3p & 643.9p. If today's 660.3p holds then there may just be room for a fifth Up wave to about 720p before a segmental correction whereupon I cannot see it dropping much below 580p with further upside to come.

Did you bank some profits before today?

[nasdaqpat] 21/2/2017 15:30

POLY's main listing is in Moscow (MOEX) and, as robfitz says, AIM is regarded as a Growth market by HMRC so all shares are exempt. I think CEY used to be AIM but is maybe exempt now because its registered office is in Jersey or maybe cos its based in Egypt. Not sure!

[robfitz] 21/2/2017 14:25

Gateside, I think this is to do with them also being listed on a Foreign Exchange (if they are!) OR AIM companies. Same as Glencore

[gateside] 21/2/2017 13:20

Noticed that when I bought CEY and POLY I paid no stamp duty?Is this something particular to gold miners?

[nasdaqpat] 21/2/2017 08:34

Re-bought initial tranche of HSBA making 47 companies with stock level up to 64.7%.

[invisage] 21/2/2017 07:43

I do think markets will fall perhaps soon. I've not decided what I will do yet though.
