thanks. Cant believe x-o is so low considering its the cheapest

Is it worth going for Halifax because they offer charts, visual portfolio and alerts. Barclay's don't offer a visual portfolio and x-o doesn't offer an alert

Not much happening expect for RRR, another 9% today.

My 6p buy in is looking nice, along with a topup at 10p

Congrats on the 6p, I've never been in a share which would give over 100% profit :(

Had a quote for 10.75p the other day, hovering over the buy button. That would have been a nice +~40%. fuuuuuuuu.

Though I'm pleased with RRL, getting out at 9p yesterday was perfect. Now looking for a lower entry point.

rrr is now my highest rise - 592%

shame i only put £200 in it
 
Jesus I need to get me some of that 500%+ action. Sat with £7k and can't decide where to stick it. I would literally cream my pants with a gain like that, and then cry a little at the GCT.
 
I don't believe gains count to the limit, but I filled mine up before I started trading so I can't be completely sure.

If you filled it up, and it does count.. does that mean you've exceeded your allowance?

The gains are just gains. You already paid income tax once on your money, isa just says we wont charge you again and so no the gains arent taxable even if you get a million to the best of my knowledge

Dividends are taxable still in an isa, you only benefit if you are on a higher rate and you dont owe them any further

RRL scrapping along the bottom, these lows are longer term support. Pretty weak really, either a lot of speculators cashed in and/or bigger money guys not convinced of appreciable worth increase in recent news.
Market in general is steadily weaker

SKR back up to recent highs today

gkp got some oil, apparently 3000 barrels aint that great (20% of that is theirs) http://www.stockmarketsreview.com/r...confirmed_as_an_oil_discovery_20101119_61342/
If it carries on at this price see start of december for some action maybe


Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) has entered into an agreement with Faroe Petroleum (FPM) to identify, assess and, where good value can be obtained, acquire producing oil and gas assets in the North Sea. The company also revealed that it has subscribed in a placing for in excess of 5% of the enlarged share capital of Faroe Petroleum at a cost of around 18 million pounds. Commenting on this, Alistair Phillips-Davies, energy supply director of Scottish and Southern Energy, said: "Our goal is to build up a presence in the upstream gas sector...to provide an additional source of primary fuel and a hedge for our gas generation and supply activities." Scottish and Southern Energy closed unchanged on 1,156p while those of Faroe Petroleum fell 5p to 173.75p.

Salamander Energy (SMDR) has maintained production guidance for the full year at in excess of 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) with production forecast to rise to 30,000 boepd by 2013. The shares climbed 3.7p to 234p. Commenting on this, chief executive James Menzies said the group's production base will support "an active, diversified, multi-year exploration and appraisal drilling programme with material upside potential." Furthermore, the firm added that it is also looking to make "value-enhancing" acquisitions in the region.

RRL price spike was a short squeeze ? Wonder if anyone is shorting this stock maybe or it was just marketmakers program feeling the strain from too many buyers and too much publicity like rampers try to make happen (in this case natural)

I thought most the smaller companies weren't "ISA"ble, I know RRL.L is ok because it's dual listed. I'm sure I read RRR can't be put in an ISA.

Its nothing to do with the size of the company, but where they are listed. Has to be a "recognised stock exchange" (which excludes AIM).
 
Apologies for waltzing into the thread like a public schoolboy into a blue collar bar, but where do you guys research? I've got an account with Barclays but am a trading noob and don't really know what I'm doing.

I have worked out how to use heatmaps, but not how to utilise them as a trading tool, I simply see what has already happened, not what might happen. I've been following the thread for a while on and off but after my initial losses a few months ago (not huge, but big enough for me) I've been hesitant to invest.

I have a poorly paid job, but live at home so what I get I can play with and have a fair chunk in savings doing nothing. Would anyone take me under their wing (so to speak) and summarise me a few tips/point me towards some learning material so that I can grow what I have?

I've been wanting to buy into RRR but I'm afraid I've missed the boat given what I've read about not buying after a rise. I do mean to read through this thread but much of the advice is interspersed with people's posts about how well their shares are doing and it's hard to keep track and I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment.
