Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I've been thinking the same, i can't see NTOG going anyplace soon BUT i've got such a small amount with them its not really worth me pulling the money out at a loss.

RRL is interesting the share price is 4.75 at the moment but the ask price is also 4.75 i would have expected it to have gone to 4.85 - 4.9.

In the long term it has the prospect to be another RKH thats why you need to get onboard sub 20p :)

I was thinking this. I don't mind leaving some of my pot invested for the longer term as it's currently in an ISA that pays little interest. Plus the risk makes it more exciting :)
 
Wish i'd raided my ISA sooner, getting hardly any interest over the past few years has made me see its been a huge waste of time.

If we close at 4.8 or above (high point of the day) i'm really looking forward to tomorrow mornings trades.
 
Hey guys,

Thanks for the websites, they're pretty good!

RE: share price does the ftse 100 only update very so often rather than being live? I found other companies update live but the ftse 100 is about 30 minutes behind?

US holdings of BP are trading up approx 10% on the DOW, hopefully BP holdings on the FTSE will start to come up a bit also...

I saw this earlier and decided to bring down my average price a bit. I'm now fairly exposed, haven't been so risky in about 8 months.. feeling the emotional roller-coaster already. :D
 
Guys just a quick question - does anyone know the purpose of a margin in spread betting?

I can't understand why it exists - for example if you are going to put £500 in an 'account' and you get -£100 and leave it at that and close the bid, surley all you lose is the £100?

Whats the purpose of this deposit? You get it refunded back into your account right? Ovbiously minus the amount lost (in this case £100).

So its Points * Marginal % = Deposit... so if you lose £100 you get the Deposit - Amount Lost (£100) = Money transferred back into 'account' ?

Thanks guys
 
well things seem to be turning around a little. Im about even on XTA now, 20% up on FOGL and DES, 30% down on YELL (grrr)

I just want 10 to 15% profit in XTA and I will be over the moon as thats my largest holding.

Sounds about right. Margin roughly matches how likely it is to half in price, they want enough money to cover the losses up front.

Yahoo shows beta on the share price pages, thats quite similar as it shows how often the share rises or falls by more then the index

£?

I cant say I thought BP would fall this much. I have average 437 and about 4.5% of holdings.

Hopefully its fairly obvious from the below picture why I decided to top up some today however I do think the price has nothing to do with logic.
The senate has called for laws to raise BP's liability from 75m to 10,000m which still wouldnt justify this share price when oil is $70.
If oil goes to $30 then its screwed

Only thing with RRL guys is it has a habit of spiking, recently it was featured on a penny share site which explains Mon's rise and this week's hold, plus usual anticipation....and the anticipation is nearly 24/7 as it's listed on AIX too.

I'm still at a slight loss due to being impatient when I bought so tempted to buy more if it goes <4.5 but am being good and saving cash elsewhere!
