Day 153 – Portfolio Value £10,413 Up £134 On The Day

Tuesday, 29 September, 2009 19:30 Written by Paul

So it seems an age since I’ve posted on Investor Trader but in reality its only been the best part of three weeks. Three weeks since we broke through the 10K figure. And whilst the FTSE powers on northward, heading back towards it’s old stomping grounds of ’07 and ’08 – beyond the 6K level [...]

Clearing 10k – Just Two More Zeros To Go

Wednesday, 09 September, 2009 21:29 Written by Paul

Today the value of our portfolio banged and crashed its way through the four figure barrier and into the five figure bracket with a lovely £370 rise on the day, taking it to to £10,159 (see the juicy, big blue numbers to the right). So five figures down and only two to go before we [...]

Sale – Low Carbon Accelerator

Thursday, 03 September, 2009 09:04 Written by Paul

Yesterday we offloaded our holding of Low Carbon Accelerator (LCA.L) selling 1,834 shares for 31 pence each for a total return of £568.54 (before costs). Low Carbon Accelerator were one of the original three holdings we kicked off Investor Trader with back in April 2009, but sentiment be damned! We returned a small profit (very [...]

Cosalt Open Offer

Wednesday, 02 September, 2009 17:38 Written by Paul

A while back (June in fact) I wrote extolling the virtues of a company by the name of Cosalt and promptly put my money where my mouth was, purchasing 916 shares at £0.5437 for a total outlay of £498.03. I’d read a little good press, the company seemed to have had it’s problems in the [...]

Investing in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM)

Monday, 24 August, 2009 11:52 Written by Paul

Anyone who’s visited Investor Trader in the past knows we err on the side of risk when it comes to investing our hard earned. A quick look at our portfolio as it stands today would appear to back that up – it’s a rag-tag band of Alternative Investment Market (AIM) shares from India, China and [...]

Day 114 – Portfolio Value £8,680 Up £452 On The Day

Friday, 21 August, 2009 09:47 Written by Paul

Today’s boost to our bottom line can mainly be attributed to a 17.8% rally by Renesola – our Chinese manufacturer of solar energy wafers. After peaking at a little over £2.40 in June of ’09, Renesola has trended broadly downward since. The reason for yesterday’s surge? Renesola have put pen to paper on a new [...]

Day 107 – Portfolio Value £8,261 Up £160 On The Day

Thursday, 13 August, 2009 20:32 Written by Paul

So after taking a bit of breather in June and July, the UK markets seem to have returned to their northward trajectory in the past month or so dragging our little green portfolio with it. Germany and France today announced GDP growth in the previous quarter indicating rosier times ahead and  the US Reserve held [...]

An Overdue Update

Monday, 10 August, 2009 19:50 Written by Paul

Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted, what can I say, it’s summer where I’m at and our little portfolio has being just dandy on its own without my meddling hand. There’s been some chunky news floating about, so let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Remember Cosalt – our provider of safety products [...]

Purchase – West China Cement (a litte more)

Monday, 03 August, 2009 19:03 Written by Paul

Following the sale of our Lyxor EFT India holdings we’ve moved the cash a little further east taking up another tranche of West China Cement (WCC.L). Although West China Cement has already run up from £1.70 to £2.55 since our first uptake a few weeks back, we still think there’s plenty o’ good times ahead [...]

Sale – Lyxor ETF India

Monday, 03 August, 2009 18:38 Written by Paul

Today we sold our holding of 100 shares of Lyxor ETF India (the fund that tracks the S&P CNX NIFTY Index – the nifty fifty – the leading index for large companies on the National Stock Exchange of India) for £5.88 a share for a total return £588. Our original purchase of 100 shares was [...]
