Sale – Lloyds Banking Group

Wednesday, 17 November, 2010 18:10 Written by Paul

In line with our new make hay while the sun shines speculative approach to investing we’ve dumped the only FTSE 100 share in our portfolio, Lloyds Banking Group. We sold all 1,811 shares last Thursday (11th November 2010) for 67.67 pence a pop for a return of £1,225.50. Our original purchase of Lloyds was made [...]

Purchase – Alecto Energy

Tuesday, 16 November, 2010 17:23 Written by Paul

The fundamental change in our portfolio mix continues. With the recent sale of all our Renesola, Clipper Windpower and OPG Power Ventures holdings and what for us is a fairly heavy (in terms of portfolio percentage) investment in Berkeley Mineral Resources, we’ve taken a leap into more speculative mineral waters. Ouch! Sorry, do pardon the [...]

Sale – OPG Power Ventures

Friday, 12 November, 2010 12:49 Written by Paul

It’s been a busy fortnight and it ain’t over yet. On Tuesday we sold off our entire holding of OPG Power Ventures for 68 pence a share after buying in at 66 pence a share in April. With the meagre profit, we covered our dealing costs. Mid to long term I have no doubt that [...]

Purchase – More Berkeley Mineral Resources

Thursday, 11 November, 2010 19:39 Written by Paul

When you’re on a good thing… Following on from last Monday’s purchase of 21,712 shares of Berkeley Mineral Resources (BMR.L) at a little over 4.53 pence, we’ve gone back for more, stocking up with a further 23,777 shares at 6.23 pence last Friday and again this Monday with another 18,646 shares at 5.28 pence. To [...]

Sale – Clipper Windpower

Wednesday, 10 November, 2010 11:28 Written by Paul

Late last week, following our sad farewell to Renesola, we sold off our final cache of another Investor Trader stalwart, Clipper Windpower. The once proud Clipper Windpower whose price previously stormed its way toward ten quid recently became a takeover target for UTC and not for the first time if memory serves me correct. Anyway, [...]

Sale – Renesola

Tuesday, 09 November, 2010 11:57 Written by Paul

With last rites being performed on Renesola’s AIM listing before shifting their focus solely to their New York Stock Exchange listing, last Thursday 4th November we sold off our final tranche of 500 shares of our portfolio stalwart for 4.0150 pence a share and a total return of £2,007.50 before dealer costs. We were averaged [...]

Purchase – Berkeley Mineral Resources

Friday, 05 November, 2010 13:02 Written by Paul

On a tip from a reader – thanks Matt – we took a closer look at Berkeley Mineral Resources (BMR.L), liked what we saw and ended pulling the trigger on Monday, jumping in for 21,712 shares at 4.53 pence a share. In the three-and-a-half days since we’ve seen a 31% rise in the share price [...]

Kiva – 4 Micro Loans

Monday, 01 November, 2010 12:31 Written by Paul

We’ve had a decent run with things lately so I paid a visit to our friends at Kiva and set up another 4 micro-loans to those in the world who are a little less fortunate. For anybody who is unsure of what Kiva is all about, I could wax lyrical for a few paragraphs but [...]

Purchase – Workspace Group

Tuesday, 26 October, 2010 10:01 Written by Paul

We’re dipping a toe in the London commercial property leasing market with the second of our buys from last week, taking up 4,300 shares in Workspace Group (WKP.L). Quite a few years ago after doing a little homework I’d earmarked Workspace Group as a company to watch and placed it in a ‘to-watch’ portfolio. At [...]

New Look Investor Trader

Monday, 25 October, 2010 12:05 Written by Paul

Cue trumpets! Fireworks set! Okay, so maybe we put the ticker-tape away for the moment and concentrate more on getting somewhere near that million quid we’re shooting at. That said, we’re pretty chuffed with the new look Investor Trader (and the way Entertainment One has been flying in the past few weeks). There’s not many [...]
