Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

might as well, whatever you would have stuck in savings otherwise.... worst case you're losing out on interest if the share price doesn't rise... and given interest rates at the mo that isn't losing much - so you're getting a very cheap call option on morrisons shares
 
You'd be silly not to, but put the full £350 in there to gain the full benefits.

So, I sold my Quindell shares this week. not comfortable with their business at the moment. I've made 4x what I put in so its been worth it for me, bought at around 30p sold at 125p. Invested in GFIN Gfinity, just signed a contract with The Sun newspaper for sponsorship and advertising rights. These will rocket sooner or later.

I too would recommend it, I'm involved in a couple of share scheme's at work and it's well worth doing.

Nice one! I thought I was going good when I sold Vodafone just yesterday at 228p which netted me a 21% gain in 10 month.

Is anyone else selling up and waiting to find out what happens with Greece and the Euro situation? I can only see bad things ahead for Greece and if it ends with them leaving the Euro it could potentially send shock waves through stockmarkets across Europe.
 
That £350 a month is the max per month, if your put it all in this year and next years sharesave scheme is better then you wont be able to put anymore in.

Not a problem but worth keeping in mind. Some people like to stagger it with say £115 a month in each so that every year (after the initial 3) they will get a lump sump.
 
I know this is not strictly trading but I'm looking at opening a stocks and shares ISA in the near future, but I'm slightly bewildered by the whole concept, the number of funds you can invest in, yields etc

Can anybody recommend some books for outlining the basics?

My wife does similar in her company scheme, limit is 250 a month so she breaks them up so she gets one ending every year now.

loads of information/help/guidance on Fidelity/Fidelity Fundsnetwork website - rated funds/options/choice etc. That's a good starting point.

could also speculate on what direction the price is heading also I guess

I would guess neutral (at best) for Morrison , maybe buy 180 sell 240 in an ideal trade
But then I also kept wondering how mcdonalds came into it :confused: so ignore me :p

Generally the answer to sharesave is yes. I had a relative with a scheme for Barclays in 2008, as you know things with bank shares did not go well there so she opted to just take her cash back as the option was useless with shares heading below £2 and eventually £1
I think she had it at 3, not that long before it had been £4

Anyway she took the cash and decided to buy at 80p. They are like 250p now, not sure when/if she sold. It was risky to buy tbh, as QE etc is why they done ok I think (which is like aliens landing for predictability)



AFC Energy plc is a developer of low-cost alkaline fuel-cell systems using hydrogen to produce clean electricity. The Company is focused on the markets where hydrogen is easily available and possibly free as a waste product from the manufacturing process. The markets include chlor-alkali, where hydrogen is a byproduct of chlorine manufacture; energy from waste (EFW), where hydrogen is generated economically from domestic and commercial waste due to its high hydrocarbon content; natural and bio-gas, are methane which is hydrogen rich. Hydrogen is released using a standard industrial process known as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR); coal gasification, where coal is gasified either underground or at the surface to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and others, which include ammonia, electrolysers, chemical processes, algae/bacteria and blast furnace gas.

Nifty, I read algae is the future for energy as it can be made to grow so fast and they can manipulate it like gm i guess


Nasty news for PFC, to stack on top it got worse. They made a mistake taking too much risk, oil firms usually split risk and ownership and this company was just a contractor I thought. Anyhow still not a sell imo though questor has said sell for a year now
850 I thought was a major trading point and its held as support so far, not so certain longer term if they will recover just as quick as previous
CNA ex div and it went up ?

800 is a major point for TEP but it looks really bad so far

My money's in Gfinity at the moment, if you havent looked at them yet, I suggest you do, gonna be the biggest money maker for me by far when they take off.

Working with Vue cinema to open exports to arenas, they have one in Fulham already, signed a 2 year deal with News Corp who own The Sun last week, they signed an aggreement with Green Man Gaming this week.

Eventually these shares will boom, look at their stats over the last year, they've grown incredibly.

Actually there stocks and shares ISA's aren't that different from owning normal shares, in order to get the most out of that type of ISA you need to buy and sell into and out of your ISA at the right times. The only difference between this and indivdual trading is an ISA will track the ftse 100 as a whole were as individual stocks caacan beat the market.

I would wait for this Greece business to resolve itself first before buying in a Greece default and exit could send markets tumbling down.
 
Lenovo continuing to perform for me, definitely a long term hold.

Might start some short trades on GEM, have a little more time to spend at the moment.

We must be looking at different stats, they started trading in January, slumped for a month, recovered in February and have been stable since.

Reading the Share Chat on LSE though they seem quite keen on them.

Whether or not you need a pinch of salt too though

Please don't trade off my enthusiasm but do look into them deep. Look at the board and staff members employed over the last 4 months
