A Return to Financial Spread Betting

Thursday, 21 April, 2011 07:32 Written by Paul

It’s been a while since I’ve had any financial spread bets in play. To be honest in the past I’ve had mixed fortunes with my forays into the world of financial spread betting. It’s a situation I usually attempt to remedy by furthering my financial education before trading again; you just can’t have enough financial [...]

Alecto Energy Gains Following Final Results

Wednesday, 20 April, 2011 05:07 Written by Paul

Following the announcement of their 2010 results, Alecto Energy added a healthy glow to our portfolio on Tuesday, finishing 24% up on the day. We bought into Alecto back in November last year at 3.75 pence a share on the back of their three gold and copper mining and two uranium mining licenses in the [...]

Taking Stock

Monday, 18 April, 2011 06:19 Written by Paul

Back in January of this year I took stock of our portfolio by lifting the three month charts of the 13 shares we held from our friends at SharePrice.co.uk. From a technical point of view it gives a great snapshot of your holdings and although the process in January was conducted with a tad more [...]

It’s Been a While

Monday, 11 April, 2011 05:06 Written by Paul

My apologies first up for the complete lack of posts over the past couple of months. After a spell in Russia and Asia I’m back in my native Australia taking stock of a portfolio that’s suffered a bit of a bashing from its highs of January. To say I’ve lost touch with what’s been happening [...]

AIM Soirée – Ranks AIM Discussion

Friday, 18 February, 2011 12:39 Written by Paul

We’ve never made a secret of the fact that we’re more than just a little risk-loving here at Investor Trader. A quick peek over to the right (to the day in numbers) should provide more than enough proof. Our portfolio – with the exception of a main board crossover from Entertainment One – is chock-a-block [...]

Investment Valuation Ratios

Monday, 07 February, 2011 21:03 Written by Graeme

This week, Investor Trader invited Graeme Pietersz from Money Terms to share some of his experience in choosing which ratios to use when valuing different investments. A novice investor can often ask the wrong question about how to value shares, looking for one ratio to rule them all. Unfortunately, many articles on the subject do [...]

New Copper-Gold Opportunities for Herencia Resources

Friday, 04 February, 2011 15:04 Written by Paul

In a week or two that’s been largely forgettable from a portfolio value point of view, Herencia Resources forced a smile from me yesterday when they announced a new copper and gold opportunity in Chile and an update to their Paguanta Project. Here’s a little of the meat from the RNS on the new opportunity: [...]

When Investing and Travelling Collide

Monday, 31 January, 2011 14:34 Written by Paul

In a few weeks time I’m popping my travel writers hat on and bailing on snow-covered Scandi – I’m jumping on the Trans Mongolian before having a little fun in Asia and hitching a ride on a freighter from South Korea back to Australia. Once upon a time, a three month spell away from the [...]

Purchase – Herencia Resources

Monday, 24 January, 2011 13:04 Written by Paul

Our last purchase for 2010 was Herencia Resources – a mineral exploration and development company with a primary focus on developing its Paguanta zinc-silver-lead-gold Project in northern Chile. Herencia’s Paguanta Project is made up of 14 licenses covering a 39 square kilometre area located in the northern section of the main Chilean porphyry copper belt. [...]
