Day 92 – Portfolio Value £7,378 Up £47 On The Day

Wednesday, 29 July, 2009 20:24 Written by Paul

Following yesterday’s regurgitation of all gains made on Monday (and then some), today was a little more settled with a handful of modest gains made across our portfolio. Ceramic Fuel Cells finished the day up 6.5% on the back on news that it has extended its agreement with GDF Suez to develop and deploy fuel [...]

Day 90 – Portfolio Value £7,690 Up £244 On The Day

Monday, 27 July, 2009 18:45 Written by Paul

Now that’s the way I like to start a week, an ocean of blue arrows pointing to the sky, followed by some chunky figures behind ‘em. Leading our list of winners on the day was China Biodiesel which finished north 1.12 pence (12.3%) at 10.12 pence. A month ago you could pick up China Biodiesel [...]

On the Move – Ceramic Fuel Cells

Friday, 24 July, 2009 14:49 Written by Paul

With finals due out in the next week, Ceramic Fuel Cells (CFU.L) has spurted again, pushing north 16% on the day as I type. There’s been a nice upturn in press too extolling the virtues of fuel cells and the Ceramic Fuel Cells product in particular. Here’s a couple from the Guardian and EcoGeneration. The [...]

On the Move – West China Cement

Thursday, 23 July, 2009 14:31 Written by Paul

Earlier this month we added West China Cement to the Investor Trader Radar, which we backed up with the purchase of a small tranche just a week later. Since then (15th July 2009) the share price has progressed from £1.70 to £2.20 (as I type) for a very handy 27% gain in a little over [...]

Purchase – China Biodiesel (a little bit more)

Tuesday, 21 July, 2009 18:26 Written by Paul

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 [...]

Sale – Climate Exchange

Tuesday, 21 July, 2009 18:10 Written by Paul

So we offloaded our parcel of Climate Exchange today. Since we began our Investor Trader experiment Climate Exchange has risen from £7.00 to £9.15, a 30.7% rise in 3 and a half months. Not too shabby in anyone’s books. A lot of that in the past 4 weeks based on a little healthy takeover speculation. [...]

On the Move – China Biodiesel

Tuesday, 21 July, 2009 16:15 Written by Paul

Since having a speculative punt on China Biodiesel last Tuesday (14th July) at 6.60 pence, they’ve climbed to 10.25 pence in a week on no news. Now no news probably means some news that some know but most don’t. The spread is still hovering between .50 and .75 pence but if this thing continues to [...]

Day 83 – Portfolio Value £7,193 Down £6 On The Day

Monday, 20 July, 2009 21:50 Written by Paul

In overall terms it was a bit of subdued start to the week for our little portfolio considering the recent strength of local markets but the lights that shone, shone brightly. Lloyds Bank surged ahead 6.7% on the day on the back of a weekend report stating it could post an interim profit despite enormous [...]

Purchase – Synergy Health

Wednesday, 15 July, 2009 11:43 Written by Paul

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 [...]

Purchase – West China Cement

Wednesday, 15 July, 2009 11:32 Written by Paul

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 [...]
