Investor Trader has a face – well a logo and header at any rate – and that face has whiskers! After flying logo-less for our first two weeks, today Investor Trader unveiled it’s new look and we’re pretty bloomin’ happy. Working from the concept: “mangy stray to financial cat fat“, Cat (that’s here real name) MacInnes came up with the feline evolution...

Another mixed day today when you look at the arrows but the performers in our little green portfolio more than compensated for the sliders. Our latest acquisition, Clipper Windpower powered ahead again finishing up 19.5 pence at £1.45. Not bad when you consider we bought it three short days ago for £1.0450. To date it’s appreciated over 38%. ReneSola continued it’s good run finishing...

In my search for quality financial products to promote on Investor Trader, I’ve come across Hargreaves Lansdown. I’ve been happy to recommend a number of online brokers I’ve used (or heard good things about) over the years but before today, hadn’t signed up to promote any particular brokerage in partnership. As a money-making venture it’s important to get these associ...

Whether it was down to an inspired piece of investment research or unashamed blind luck, Friday’s purchase of Clipper Windpower paid off almost immediately as the share finished 24% up on the day on the back of no news and only slightly higher than average volumes. I’m pretty sure it was the latter. But something is afoot, there’s a breeze a blowin’ and Clipper is in as goo...

We’ve set sail for a green future and taken the plunge with Clipper Windpower by adding 895 shares of theirs to our portfolio. The trade set us back £1.0495 pr share for a total outlay of £939.30. Here’s to windy days ahead! ...

I’ve got to admit it, I’m a bit of a closet greenie. I’ve never chained myself to a tree or put my ample girth between a whale and a Japanese “research” boat you must understand, but in the back of my mind there’s a part of me that thinks maybe I should. As I nudge the big 4-0, I know dreams of environmental heroism are probably a little beyond me now but it doe...

Despite my earlier skepticism, ReneSola made further gains today finishing up another 5.5p and adding another £130.74 to our portfolio. The strong gains made so far this week were no doubt partly spurred on by Tuesday’s RNS that stated: “SHANGHAI, May 5 (Reuters) – China is set to smash its target for a roll-out of solar power by 2020 more than fivefold and possibly even tenfold...

Despite 2 of our shares finishing lower on the day, the financial sun shone on ReneSola and its monocrystalline wafers, coming in at a whopping 18 pence per share gain on the day (that’s 15.62%). If I were a betting man, I’d short it for the day tomorrow as there’s bound to be a little profit taking, let’s just sit tight and see. Being ReneSola I know one thing for sure, it...

Okay, we’re going to do away with the legal speak here, it’s never been a strong point. I got to thinking that perhaps it’s a good time to remind people that nothing on this site constitutes financial advice. Besides a business degree from a two-bit University gathering dust in my Father’s garage, I really have very little detailed knowledge of financial markets and what co...

While the London Markets take a well-earned breather for the May Day long weekend, I’ve been hard at work adding content, earning potential and setting up a few social media connections to Investor Trader in an attempt to jump start this little project. I’ve kicked things off with the staple of online earners – Google Adsense – and followed up with a couple of little affili...
