A slump isn’t over before there is terror in the media; and whilst there is fear there is currently no headline saying “CRASH”. As such, I’m not optimistic that this summer slump is over. All the warning signs are flashing. The pound has collapsed against the Yen, a sign of a sudden flight to havens. […]

‘Buy now’ is not really a sensible thing to do as we could fall 10% more in the next few days. However we might not and when a stock looks right you should buy regardless. This has caused me to buy Flybe, which I suppose is a very risky buy. Airlines go bust all the […]

This week will decide if this is the crash of the summer or the current move is just a nasty shake. I’m sitting on a little Lamprel, torn between taking a quick 25% profit and holding it for the long term and perhaps a 100% or more. The trouble with fast 20% profits is they […]

Interesting times in the market. To crash or not to crash, that is the question. I feel it isn’t going to crash but that’s a guess. It’s a speculation that the market doesn’t like to deliver the expected and a crash is what everyone is thinking will happen this summer. Meanwhile the Euro is falling […]

I always try and remind myself not to sell when my portfolio is suffering a reversal. The key thing is to ride out storms. As long as you are investing sensibly there is not too much to worry about. Only when something massively bad has/is happening should you think of selling, something huge like the […]

It’s been a shaky ride for my Cable and Wireless but in the end holding on proved the correct thing to do. In previous years I would have bought in on the slump when Tata bought in but in the current environment I’ve not the nerve to trade these kinds of situation. The market is […]

It’s frustrating when two of your favourite stocks are falling and you already have enough stock. Becoming undiversified is a lethal mistake. As such, I have enough Trinity Mirror (TNI:L) and enough RM (RM:L) Trinity Mirror is very risky because there might be something very nasty under the hood – surely there has to be […]

It’s very hard to write a blog when you don’t fancy buying any stock. Stocks look ugly to me at the moment in the same way as people look ugly in a packed underground train. My portfolio has been, and is being, kicked – which is to be expected as it is a very high […]

The markets don’t like the fact that the FED reckons it is not about to do anymore stimulus in addition to the Himalayan levels it has already created. It could of course just be the beginning of the summer slump or, as I model it, yearly global wealth fund trade surplus rebalance. In any event […]

I’m kicking myself for not selling Cable and Wireless for a 100% profit. Even at 80%+ profit it is shear greed that keeps me in. I should sell but I’m trying to hang in. If the takeover happens I’ll end up with a 150% profit, so its not irrational to hold out, even so the […]
