Yea CNA is a long term thing but it pays well and I realised I dont own much at all. Bought some and if it goes sub 300 as it might I can buy again but 400 is reasonable target is my guess.
They do need to see some growth to make that target obvious so sellers uncertainty is fair game
Sold some Royal Mail, it seems strong but I dont believe they'll enter orbit; its just a prestige share with international holders, etc. Arbitrage to CNA and others should be fine
Intel does well as of late, I guessed it would and I held off any selling but now I may clip a large part.
I tend to sell too early, buy too early so its probably the same again mistake to do so now. The share is strong, Im not totally certain why but I thought their misstep with mobile/phone chips was nothing permanent thats why I bought
Any great reason for Intel to take off just now ? I'll still hold some after a sell
[resistance at $27 from decade of sells/buys in this area]
Why do markets spike, hot money borrowed increases with highs :

I've said it a dozen times, and I will say it again: GVC is worth a look - I've been in/ talking about it since it was at 70-ish p. Now hovering near 400p, and I think has the biggest dividend on the LSE. Also it is going to prosper massively from the World Cup in Brazil. Plenty of upside still in my opinion - hugely undervalued still. Latest RNS indicated that they are 'at the upper end' of all analyst's forecasts, and it is being tipped all over the place at the moment. In my opinion, fair value is £6- £7 based on current earnings and yield. Luckily I bought over 9,000 at low, low prices
DYOR, none of this is intended as financial advice, etc...
Rumours about Government clamping down on gambling though. Any legislation will surely negatively affect the share price?
Something similar happened with the Twitter IPO a few months ago. Tweeter Home Entertainment Group was bought and rose 700% despite filing for bankruptcy and 2007 and going out of business in 2008

On another note; nice rise with SULA today.
Managed to get in at 3.6 last week, looking forward to Friday where the CEO said on an investor conference call this morning that a SRK valuation will be released.

Doing well from Lloyds. Tempted to jump in on RBS and Barclays as well.
Shame I can't spread bet NEST to fall

Looks like Fidelity have just been playing the waiting game for HL to announce their new structure.
Not sure what is going on with the press and their headlines, many of them talking about HL sparking a price war... not much of a fight when HL are higher than most of the current clean class platforms.

Thrown a spread bet on ABF. Risky because of the high share price for spread betting but they fell 100 points (3.8%) this morning which was simply the old 'sell on news'. They're in-line with last year and Primark is performing well. Some brokers have set a target of 2700 which I think is realistic given the group's potential.

Thats the thing, theres no fixed price. Depends on earnings.
ISF and EWU say 9 or 12 PE
Not sure whats accurate but long term it probably isnt gigantically overvalued though Im inclined to agree with you.
Nov before last we hit a bottom, I did cancel a few shorts and we rose, great. Till February that was par for the course then we were due to fall again but for over a year we have not really lost value greatly. It does seem we are due
Im holding FTSE and Im selling big shares if or when I can. I figure its safer because FTSE in theory has all sorts in there, it has even big gold miners.
Nobody likes them or thinks they'll do well, so mixed in with this 'overheat' proposition we have some stone dead cold stocks.
Plus we got long term 'failures' like BP which in theory could always stop having bad news and actually improve though Woodford doesnt like big oil. However he does like big medicine, again in the index.
FTSE probably should be the last thing I throw out of the hot air balloon on this bubble. But I might swap it for Asia in the spring
Seems like Aldi and friends, rise of the grande cheapo shop. Was a better bet then Tesco and I thought they had that market covered too

The market down today, although only just for most shares. Always a degree of overheat and profit talking then it goes up and up.
Taken advantage and sold a few (BSkyB and FOXT) and bought (BDEV and TLW). Should have better longer growth.
Bought into a mining fund, not much invested though. Probably do more once I can put more cash into my ISA. Got an eye on RRS too.
I appreciate that this is asked all the time, but it's been a while since I've followed this thread.
I've decided what I want to buy, but unsure the best way to do it. I've got a maxed out cash ISA and therefore assume it would be best to invest a further £5760 in a S&S ISA?
There's often a name of a company who people use bounded around here, but I've forgotten it. Basically, who would be the best ISA? I'm probably looking to trade around 5 - 7 companies at a time. And the odd fund.
Any help would be great!
tl;dr - Who provides the cheapest/easiest S&S ISA?

You are thinking of fixed odd betting terminals, in which GVC has no interest. GVC has very little in terms of UK operations. They own large parts of Sporting Bet, plus the largest bookies in Brazil, and have large operations in Turkey and Germany (And RE worry about the legislation around gambling in Germany, their own legislation is illegal according to EU law, so the German 'ban' on online gaming is unenforcible, hence GVC continue to operate legally under EU law.)

Any thoughts on the Shell announcement ? it doesn't seem to have effected the share price for such a big drop in profits ? considered buying some more but then i realized its been a lot lower than it is today for no apparent reason several times last year..
My portfolio actually took a bit of a dive off an excellent high of last week. Bit gutted but seems to have levelled and starting to rise again.
New additions include QPP and ADN but not much spark among either sadly. ADN taking a pounding despite their GS valuation.
CSR up 24% but I only had a small investment and cant see them rising much more- fairly gutted at a missed opportunity.
LLOY holding strong and I think it will have a good year!

Intel down 5% on higher profits but worries on future I think so $27 res was good to sell, kept back 10% but not thinking to buy back now
SXX still looking good
KAZ weak and looking to be weaker still
ANTO on the other hand might do a comeback obviously could use higher copper
ENQ strong, PMO weak, doesnt seem like a buy despite falklands
FPM looks good
ESSR is a maybe, too opaque so who knows. Higher oil I think does help their case
XEL nothing much ? RKH probably stuck in a range still ? CNA sideways drift but results in feb + enveloped by fog of political election moves, fracking, etc
lloyds helped by tsb, etc

Back up to 2650 already (+2.2%). Now +£57 on the spread bet from a £1 stake.
Got rid of Infinis, not going anywhere quickly enough to justify a spread bet.
