Sale – Entertainment One

Saturday, 15 January, 2011 11:31 Written by Paul

After amassing some lovely gains in Entertainment One (ETO.L) over the past seven or eight months, we took a little off the top, selling 300 shares at £1.3912 for a return before costs of £417.36. It’s the second trim we’ve given Entertainment One in the past couple of months, and although I believe there’s a [...]

Purchase – MeDaVinci

Tuesday, 11 January, 2011 12:59 Written by Paul

Although it sounds like a back-street peddler of pharmaceutical art, MeDaVinci – after a change in direction – is nowadays firmly in the mineral exploration game. The change in strategy and resultant restructuring (MeDaVinci was originally a Medical tech investor) came about following a review of their investment portfolio in mid 2009. In the period [...]

Sale – PV Crystalox Solar

Monday, 10 January, 2011 10:00 Written by Paul

The 30th December 2010 marked a sad day for Investor Trader. Following the sale of our entire holding of PV Crystalox Solar (PVCS.L) it was the first time since we began our little project in April 2009, that our portfolio held no wind or solar energy shares. Over the journey at different stages a large [...]

13 UK Shares on AIM

Friday, 07 January, 2011 15:09 Written by Paul

You’ll have to excuse this post, it’s a little self indulgent and – as Lucy from Entertainment One has kindly pointed out – incorrectly titled, since Entertainment One moved to the main board in July 2010. I wanted to throw the recent (three months in this case) charts of all our holdings together in the [...]

Sale – Another Lot of Workspace Group

Friday, 07 January, 2011 12:37 Written by Paul

Early this week I wrote about the sale of part of our holding in Workspace Group – our London-based provider of space to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the capital. I must admit, I told a little porky in that piece. Due to the fact that I tend to do most of my trading [...]

Purchase – Stellar Diamonds

Thursday, 06 January, 2011 10:00 Written by Paul

Diamonds are a boy’s best friend. Well, maybe not best friend but with a 43% gain since we purchased a bunch in mid December 2010, Stellar Diamonds have at least made my Christmas card list. After selling up some Hutchison China Meditech and and all of our Workspace Group on 17th December 2010 we turned [...]

Sale – Workspace Group

Wednesday, 05 January, 2011 10:00 Written by Paul

The second of our eight transactions for late December was the sale of part of our holding of Workspace Group – the London-based provider of space to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the capital. We sold 2,300 shares at 23.78 pence a share on 17th December 2010 after buying in 4,300 shares at 22.87 [...]

Sale – Hutchison China Meditech

Tuesday, 04 January, 2011 11:46 Written by Paul

The first of our eight transactions for late December 2010 was the sale of another tranche of Hutchison China Meditech. We bought in to HCM.L in July 2010, taking up 520 shares at £3.14 a share. We first took profit earlier in December selling 220 shares at £5.10 and then again with this more recent [...]

Hitting £100K in 2011

Sunday, 02 January, 2011 22:20 Written by Paul

Like Santa and his helpers, late December proved to be a busy period for Investor Trader. On December 17th we completed five trades and then backed up again on the 30th with a further three (including a couple of purchase from our list of 17 potentials I wrote about last week). But more about that [...]

17 Potential (Speculative) Investments for 2011

Monday, 27 December, 2010 17:21 Written by Paul

Following on from my most recent post – Which Shares Should I Invest In – I’ve spent a few days pouring over my own pool of potential investments. No small job in the end as the list had ballooned to over 50 possibles, thanks in no small part to suggestions from our readers. I’ve had [...]
