Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Don't know why anyone would invest in stocks with failing business models like HMV.
It looks cheap but like buffet says, it must also have a unique fundamental product or service that gives it an advantage in the market.

How do you all find time to do this?

I would love to be able to trade and make some extra cash.

Is it worth even bothering if you only had about £500 to invest?

£500 is plenty :)

I 'manage' £500 of my girlfriends money, already made ~£600 back in the past 6 months of casual trading.



Been stuck in NPE for quite a while (bought back in after selling at 387p) but things are currently on the up :). Looking at selling at 600p.
 
This may sound terrible but is there anyway to cash in on the disaster that is the floods in queensland? I.e. the floods have caused the coal mines to shut.. surely lowering share prices?

A bit like BP and their disaster, can this method be feasible? Queensland is one of the largest exporters of coal in the world? So such a massive industry will droop then pick up again as their is a humongous amount of coal available?!

buy into other coal mines that are producing, coal prices should rise.
 
coal is a good bet anyway, higher calorific then oil even. I dont think a squeeze in prices comes that easy. More likely in annual crops ruined rather then hard assets only impaired momentarily.

In Australian market LNG could be good as its not as compact but Australia forms part of the asia pacific region including china which has agreements to import it

(GKP) has unearthed significant volumes of oil in its Shaikan-3 appraisal well in Kurdistan, at shallower depths than the previous discovery.

Current P50 to P10 estimates of Garagu oil in place has been pegged at 220 million to 2.2 billion barrels, the AIM-listed company said.

The well, which was drilled to test the Cretaceous intervals in the immediate vicinity of its 2009 Shaikan-1 discovery, discovered the resources at depths of between 1,060 and 1,157 metres.

I managed to catch a bit of the raise. Jumped in with what I had left in my account and made a quick 10% and baled.

Could be too soon for news on UTS and with MXPs past record, I didn't want to chance it.

Well there's some news out, am although I don't really understand most of it, reading the bb's it's very good news :D
 
I'm tempted to buy CNR and sell PXS (currently 55% down). I'm prepared to write off my loss with PXS, they have been an absolute disaster. Now to find the bottom of CNR :) How much further do people anticipate them dropping? They have dropped significantly over the past few days and I understand news is to due soon.

The news is out that's why the drop is occurring. The findings didn't match up with the exaggerated share price. However, in the mid to long term the sp should trickle back up as they do have a find.
 
CNR punt didn't really pan out, thank god I cut my losses at £130 at the end of that day, would have been a lot worse if I didn't. Something I've learnt the hard way before.

Bought in to CINE at 211.15, very pleased with it's performance today. This is a longer term investment however, but if it hits 250 in the short term I will sell off.

Could have gotten into ALO at 4p today, decided to hold off for another day however and see. Worried about the massive spread, I hate getting stuck holding just because of a massive spread. Got a limit order to buy at 3.7p in place though, a price at which the company seems like excellent value to me.
 
CNR up and down like a yo-yo. Very strong buying at the moment, so think we will see >7.5p soon
