Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

My HSBC account sends RNSs via email on stock I select in the tools > alerts.

Had the RRL one this morning and yesterday
 
ASOS is still going crazy. Anyone had any SBs on it the past couple of days? Unfortunately I can't due to the margin required on it. I'm happy to imagine how much could have been made instead (and waiting for it to pop).

Anyone else buying funds in their ISA's or just me? :D

Am in medium risk gold based ones - based on past 3 years performance should see me 20% this year easily :)

When you bought into the fund you will have been shown the sentence

"Past performance is not indicative of future results."

or

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Good luck with it anyway :)

Hi Guys

Any alternantive to RNSalert?

I just got the email saying he is suspending the service because LSE want £20,000 fees!

Also RRL, its gotta be good, considering CAZA for some time now too though

I got that one too, shame as I was pretty reliant on it. I'm wondering if he just sent out an alert that one had been released (rather than the entire contents) if he'd still need to pay fees.

Anyway, after a bit of searching I found http://www.investegate.co.uk/ . I've signed up with my email and added my alerts. I haven't actually been able to test it yet though as no-ones released anything since.
 
Does Halifax qualify, they send price alerts. Not 100% if also RNS

Dry your tears RockHop is still good. A low price is another chance to build up the position some more, depends if its good value or not
This 200 area was a major point on the way up May 2010 so not expecting it to fall by easy.
Basically I see three separate trading reasons why it could rise, fundamentals Im less sure on


The pullback to 8 or 9 p area for CNR I think could turn into a base building exercise before it rises some more.
The batch of shares they issued were at 9p so really that was a sound deal they struck there to raise funds, so long as they using the money right.

I bought a bit more CNR. I got some Tesco, boring but they go ex div on weds and havent risen like everything else, no reason to doubt them really. I was then considering balancing that by laying off some more BP at 470 but unfortunately I didnt, now its back down again, duh

Looking at scaling into PMG, really I want them at 14 not 18. Net assets of 12.56m and income 4m but market cap 100m! not cheap


CNR Iam looking for a rise next week but in my mind its like RRL was last year. Expecting a lot of fake outs. I'll buy a bit every day most likely.
In December RRL rushed up 30%+ and straight back down and I figured thats a pre tremor if anything.
But I didnt increase my position so hoping to avoid that mistake so long as facts and general feel/momentum support the risk


EMED delayed the restart of the ancient roman copper mine, hence a bit of a plunge. Basically again, an opportunity to buy I think with caution

Heritage Oil to Commence US$100 Million Share Buy Back Programme
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 26, 2011) -

THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Heritage Oil Plc (TSX:HOC)(LSE:HOIL), an independent upstream exploration and production company, announces that it is commencing with immediate effect, a buy back programme to spend up to $100 million to acquire its Ordinary Shares, as the Board of Directors (the "Board") considers that the current share price is trading at a significant discount to the intrinsic, underlying value of the Company.

Heritage shareholders passed a resolution at the last Annual General Meeting on 17 June 2010, allowing the Company to buy back up to 28,786,693 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's voting share capital. Heritage has been unable to commence a buy back programme until now as the Company has been in trading black-out for either operational or corporate reasons since the resolution was passed.

With the regulatory black-out having been lifted, the Board is now implementing with immediate effect, a share buy back programme of up to $100 million. Heritage announced recently that it had approximately US$600 million of cash at year end, excluding amounts reserved in connection with the tax dispute in Uganda. The Board, which collectively owns over 30% of the share capital, believes that the buy back of shares is a worthwhile investment and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company has a strong balance sheet with which to make the purchases whilst also progressing with current work programmes and continuing to seek further opportunities to add value. The Company is actively identifying prospects in 2011, through acquiring or processing seismic in Tanzania, Mali and Malta whilst also continuing with the appraisal of the Miran field in Kurdistan. Further wells will also be drilled on the Zapadno Chumpasskoye Field in Russia which could add a material increase to production levels.

Tony Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The sale of the Ugandan Assets in 2010 has provided Heritage with a strong balance sheet and available cash. The recent share price performance following the discovery of the Miran gas field in Kurdistan neither reflects the underlying value of the assets nor our belief in the longer term prospects of the Company. The buy back of shares is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders."

Nice news from BOY this morning. Been holding them for a week on my SB account and have a nice +50 gain now.

Only have 4 bets open so need to diversify with a couple more now, but am in profit on all and up 30% on my initial deposit. I blame beginner's luck.

Doh :(
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...-risk-lingers-over-oil-explorer-Heritage.html

Sold my Tesco ex div, £10 for every 100 shares paid plus the shares rose anyway. Been weak volume so reducing holding back to long term normal again.
Buying some PMG on major weakness and above average volume. Hoping it hasnt already hit bottom


BP may be buying out TNK. No doubt for a hefty price but should be good news if true considering the massive potential of Russia

I never said they did. But if you want to see your 3 - 4% gains on FTSE listed companies etc go ahead.

It's always worth taking a punt on speculative companies in order to see some real gains.

I brought £5000 shares in BPC last July at around 3p... Now they are sitting around the 20p mark. You do the maths.

Some good tips here: http://brokermandaniel.com/
recommend reading that than the usual know it all type people who trawl these forums.

Who said anything about FTSE? :confused: I just said profit.

Maybe, but it'll always be that: a punt, a bet, a gamble. I'll stick to roulette - a 50/50 chance is far better odds.

And how many have you took a punt on and lost?

I'm no expert, but I certainly don't believe you have to take risks punting on penny shares to make more than a 3% gain. I'm currently making profit on BOY, which is the equivalent of an 18% share gain (although it's through a SB) and they're by no means an AIM company who aren't even turning over a profit yet.
