So we’ve gone and upped our stake in China Biodiesel after making 55% gains (from 6.6 pence to 10.25 pence) since our small, test purchase this time last week. I call it a test purchase, but in reality I just lacked the cojones to have a real punt. Anyway, I digress. We sold out of Climate Exchange and smacked the total consideration (£687.50) into China Biodiesel, purchasing a further 6,83...

And the last of our three purchases for the day yesterday was Synergy Health, where we bit the bullet and went big (for us) purchasing 82 shares at £5.0800 for a total outlay of £416.56 Why? An oversold equity with a healthy order book, long term contracts and an X factor in the potential of its Chinese operations. You can read all about it in yesterday’s post where we added it to the Inve...

So we’ve taken the plunge with some concrete boots, but don’t panic, that’s West China Cement on our feet! Yesterday we purchased 153 shares of West China Cement at £1.7050 a share for another huge outlay (don’t trip on the sarcasm) of £260.87. The reasons? Well I won’t bore you again, but check out this one I made earlier. So another small outlay on a Chinese AIM S...

So this buy ain’t gonna break the bank. Yesterday we lashed out and bought, wait for it, 1,960 shares of China Biodiesel at 6.6 pence a share, for a total outlay of £129.36. I think it’s the smallest single tranche of shares I’ve ever purchased. But it’s not about the total outlay, it’s about the selling price and when these babies rocket to a quid each, I’ll b...

After adding Lyxor EFT India to the radar early this week, yesterday we took the plunge and added 100 shares at £5.6999 for a total outlay of £569.99 India’s economy has been more resilient than most following the recent global downturn and by investing in an Indian EFT, I’m basically staking a claim in the big caps of Indian Business. It’s a great way to spread the risk, prov...

We’ve laid a little money down a company by the name of Cosalt – a provider of safety products and services to the marine, industrial and offshore oil and gas markets. We’ve purchased 916 shares at £0.5437 for a total outlay of £498.03 Our reasons? Simply a case of a profitable, expanding company, who’ve experienced a hiccup or two of late, being undervalued by the market...

We’ve taken a little slice of the UK banking sector on-board with today’s purchase of 774 Lloyds Banking Group shares at £0.6719 for a total outlay of £520.05 plus dealing costs. On the back of a ton of re-structuring news of late, hopefully Lloyds can put a horror stretch behind it and make us a quid or two into the bargain. If it can – a little belatedly – follow in B...

Last week we added Eros International – a producer and distributor of Bollywood films – to the Investor Trader radar. After a little homework we liked what we saw and came to the conclusion that a billion plus Indians can’t be wrong. So we ended taking the dip and buying a handful of Eros International (533 shares at £1.05 for an outlay of £559.65). ...

Following Friday’s meteoric rise of 31.2% in the share price, we’ve jumped on board with Ceramic Fuel Cells purchasing 5,546 shares at 8.835 pence a share for a total outlay of £489.99 (okay, not huge numbers but the coffers aren’t as deep as they used to be). I’m pretty happy with the price as the spread was showing 8.75 to 9.00 pence and as with many penny shares, a heft...

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! ...
