Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I've been reading for about 2 months now as much information as I can about Forex etc. Going to spend another few months reading/studying/testing etc and see where that leads me too.

I work from home 90% of the time in my day job so it's something I would like to spend time doing. Will wait and see.
 
Well the guy I know of who does Forex well studied economics and started off the old fashioned way. He is very disciplined with reference to his mentors good practise, he does lessons its very easy to get lost on what value is in the stream of news or not.
Forex is hard core stuff imo, working from home can be a curse or not depends how orderly you doing 'work' and your thinking patterns. This guy above gets up before 6am every day for example this is due to asia markets

My IAG shares are soaring, nearly £3k profit

Should bank it but might hold on a bit, yearly results out next month. Sure it go down afterwards.

Why is /IAG doing well, capturing growth from asia ? benefits from oil maybe


Bit of a bidding war in telecoms assets ? seems to be helping bt share price but i need it to hold 422 now, the shares i got date back to ipo, super awkward to sell

RMG good hold imo, questor seems to concur :p
The shares currently trade on 13.7 times forecast earnings of 32p per share. That compares with about 13 times forecast earnings at European rivals Deutsche Post DHL and Belgian operator Bpost.
Royal Mail could benefit from the hidden value in its London Development Portfolio, which contains surplus sites the company has identified for potential sale or redevelopment. In October, Royal Mail sold its former sorting office at Paddington for £111m, which was higher than the estimated £71m analysts at Berenberg expected.
The postal group still retains its two biggest sites - at Nine Elms and Mount Pleasant, which could be worth between £600m and £1bn, or 60p to 100p per share.
Royal Mail’s shares also offer a healthy 4.6pc prospective dividend yield, which is covered more than 1.5 times by expected free cashflow.
There is no doubt that Royal Mail faces challenges but investing is about dividend income and long-term returns.
We still like the strength of the business, the balance sheet and the dividend income, and in an uncertain world, how many companies can say that. Hold.

I regard BT in a similar way, bit of a monopoly but I believe its subject to upset from natural tech development. Mobile ten years ago, yea but now :/
I also own Telefonica so duplication is not smart

IAG have had the Aerlinug bid accepted in principle. If the merger goes ahead they are going to benefit form more (preferential) slots at airports. Joined up routes, EoS etc.. Got to be good for business in the long terms. Add to that the current cost of kerosene, and they seems to be doing well.

Also, rumors of a dividend. Why it probably best to wait until the end of year results.

tis quite a crooked market place with rather dubious rules in place, though exchanges have their faults at least they're ostensibly offering a level playing field whereas FX is a den of thieves

with FX, from the retail perspective, you've got the various dubious bucket shop type operations and various ECNs with less than transparent rules/microstructure

I'd be very careful... perhaps consider FX futures on the CME, at least you'll get some more transparency and security.
 
Another tricky type of debt balance share I presume. The shares that might do in best volatile moves like the Swiss franc and EURO QE is the utility shares I guess. If oil price doesnt rise soon they'll be opportunties for the better placed bigger firms maybe as the rack is tightened. I do see landslide type moves being a feature up or down 10% on all shares possible

Any opinions on the HSS IPO?
Click to expand...

Depends if you like the company, the sector. The main reason to buy shares is growth and IPO is way of finance for the company or buyout of the owners
HSS would be small business uk growth I guess, maybe strong construction link

I still have AGK which is mobile power and aircon but glad I sold APR, neither are solely uk though
 
It varies by provider so you should probably ask them. I use HL for funds but if you have a big pension an IFA could be best (not a bank)

The FSA did a big review of the whole system to stop kickbacks and under table payments but its still a bit confusing. I would just say the majority of your money is risked in the investment, anything else like fund packaging is just trimmings really.
In theory you should just be able to observe the fund management fee and judge on that, it should all be obvious. ETF UTF and Investment trust should be comparable without worrying too much.


I won the UK Stock Challenge contest for Jan and the Feb one starts tomorrow

Yeah ... would love to see BARC stay over £2.50 for more than a day. My entry price of it for my SIPP sucked. The oilies are all creeping up a bit with the oil price but I can see them all tanking again the moment the OP drops - definitely squeaky bum time with those right now !
 
Barc I put on my shortlist but Lloyds I think could do well all of 2015 and I think Lloyds is a lot less hassle and risk probably, thats the one I hold.

I got a dividend for RMG and its another just no hassle hold I think, weighted overall they got assets and good cashflow. Sold some today but I own more then I should, it looks strong enough now. I would sell all at 600, hopeful we get that exuberant ?
Low oil price helps transport business like this ?

GKP down but Im thinking its good to take some. I might be silly and put half of what I was going to allocate into Gulfsands which has major strife internally on the board and externally with Syrian 'assets' (if not for EU ban are ready to operate apparently). I like the chart anyway, I think its an ok 'wild' pick
http://www.iii.co.uk/articles/22213...leum-limited-suspends-exports?context=LSE:GKP

BP, XEL, ENQ, GKP and Genel look 'flat' but oil has been up. Its hard to say, not really bargains but GKP has the cashflow and today the bad news is they reducing costs which is entirely sensible. If they not going to go broke then good news is more probable then bad vs price seems like

Any views on QPP ?
 
Done fairly well with TWTR and PETROFAC this week.
I'm staying well away from qpp. It's too much like gambling for me
Bought into BT too

Dunno what's going on with alibaba. I got faith but no one else does
I'm tempted to remove from Tesla and put it in InternetQ
