So I just wanted to pen a brisk post to let all you good folks know about a few tweaks, updates and additions we’ve made over at AIM Soiree. For those of you new to the world of keeping atop of what’s all abuzz on AIM, let me give you the AIM Soiree lowdown (for [...]

We’ve been eying them off for long enough. We listed them in December 2010 as one of 17 potential speculative investments to watch in the year ahead…and they delivered. At the time they were trading around six pence. During the early months of 2011 they’d rocketed to 20 pence. Then they were mauled by a [...]

Following a financial clemin of a year like 2011, it’s good to take a little time out to define at least one non-negotiable. A given. Something you can hang your hat on moving forward. Here’s a starter for ten. India will consume all of the energy it produces in 2012. India’s energy gap is not [...]

Now just because there’s been little sign of life at Investor Trader over the past few weeks, doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy little beavers behind the scenes working on other financey-type web gadgets. Just as AIM Soirée answered those burning questions about who’s discussing what in the world of AIM listed shares, recently we’ve [...]

Well, it’s a fact. There is now no denying it. I am a fair-weather blogger.  Since the markets began their free-fall, I’ve barely let out a whimper. So again, allow to me apologise. Now I’m not the only one. I’ve noticed quite a few other financial bloggers have fallen off the radar a little since [...]

Blatant cross-promotion warning! Our sister site, AIM Soirée – whose sole purpose in life is to rank the most discussed shares on AIM, daily – has begun tweeting. Who hasn’t I hear you cry. Well, this is different. There’ll be no witty banter crammed into 140 characters, no market comment, no re-tweeting, no following back. [...]

As investors we’re always on that elusive search for the no brainer trade – the investment that just can’t lose. Well I can’t say I’ve found an investment with absolutely no downside yet, but by utilising spread trading and taking advantage of the markets where they stand at this point in time, I’ve found a [...]

In the world of investing all that glitters…is sometimes silver. Without going all technical on yo ass (mental note: lose the gansta-talk when chatting investment) here’s a few compelling reasons to take a look at gold’s sexier single cousin. Silver, it’s pliable, malleable and on-a-bull…run that is. You’d search far and wide to find a [...]

With our share portfolio in free-fall there’s not much good news coming out of Investor Trader for the moment. That is unless you consider Investor Trader’s new colour scheme news-worthy? I had hope for Berkeley Mineral Resources (BMR.L) when I fleetingly glanced over last Thursday’s Kabwe tailings JORC results RNS pre market-open. But irrespective of [...]

Anyone looking at the three month chart below (courtesy of SharePrice.co.uk) could be forgiven for assuming that June contained a profit warning or the like for Berkeley Mineral Resources. But not so! Just another month in the life of an AIM-listed minerals share.     In fact, since June of this year, in this amateur’s [...]
