Purchase – PV Crystalox Solar

Tuesday, 19 October, 2010 14:42 Written by Paul

So with my Renesola adventures due to come to an end in the coming weeks, the first of my four purchases this week, will come as a no-brainer to those who’ve followed Investor Trader over the journey. PV Crystalox Solar is a, yep, you guessed it, solar energy company. Though it lacks the Chinese connection [...]

Cash Burning a Hole In My Pocket

Monday, 18 October, 2010 13:43 Written by Paul

I’ve never been a very patient investor. I love the concept of an ideal entry point to a market, but truth be known, if I’ve been eying a potential buy, I tend to pile in without paying too much attention to short term fluctuations. I’m usually in for the mid to long term when I [...]

Renewable Energy in the News

Thursday, 07 October, 2010 15:01 Written by Paul

I just stumbled across a great article on the Malta Independant Online website with some wonderful juicy figures on renewable energy that I thought warranted sharing. The piece focused on a speech given by Pasquale Pistorio, a respected, now-retired Maltese businessman who for over 25 years was the head of STMicroelectronics. Below is an extract. [...]

Sale – A Little More Renesola

Monday, 27 September, 2010 17:15 Written by Paul

So we pulled the trigger on Renesola and sold off 500 shares – half our holding – last Wednesday at a price of £3.5375 per share. The reasoning: well, besides SOLA.L pushing some two year highs, we’re working to a little bit of a deadline  before Renesola dumps its AIM listing and takes all of [...]

Renesola and Another Dear John Letter

Tuesday, 21 September, 2010 19:23 Written by Paul

Readers of Investor Trader may remember my brief tryst with West China Cement which came to a premature end back in May of this year. Sadly, growth saw them forget their roots, pull their AIM listing and try to make it in the big city. In this case, the big city being Hong Kong. And [...]

Purchase – Hutchison China Meditech

Wednesday, 28 July, 2010 11:44 Written by Paul

Anyone who’s dropped by Investor Trader more than once over the journey would know of my penchant for Chinese investments. I have no defense. In the short time we’ve been online we’ve held Renesola, West China Cement, China Biodiesel and Asian Citrus. Hell, even Synergy Health had a Chinese interest. That’s a fair slice of [...]

Entertainment One Moves to London’s Main Board

Wednesday, 14 July, 2010 13:45 Written by Paul

Back in Mid May of this year – following a prompt from an Investor Trader reader – we took up a speculative tranche of Entertainment One (ETO.L). Entertainment One is a leading independent entertainment group, with diversified operations incorporating film, television and music across five territories (UK, Canada, US, Holland, Belgium). We liked what we’d [...]

China Biodiesel Tender Offer and Delisting

Monday, 14 June, 2010 10:47 Written by Paul

And trust me, it is a tender offer. After purchasing our initial tranche of 1,960 China Biodiesel shares back in July 2009 for 6.6 pence a share and topping up a short week later at 10.06 pence (yep that’s a 50% rise in that short week), we were averaged into CBI.L at 9.29 pence a [...]

Purchase – Entertainment One

Saturday, 15 May, 2010 17:17 Written by Paul

With an abundance of cash – well, for me anyway – sitting in our trading account following sales of West China Cement and Renesola, I thought it time to set some of it free. Put it to work. Following a nudge from an Investor Trader reader a few months back now, we’ve been keeping an [...]

A Little Renesola Profit Taking

Thursday, 13 May, 2010 11:26 Written by Paul

A few days back I wrote about Renesola testing new recent highs in the lead-up to results and how the situation in Greece threw a bit of spanner into the works. Well results have come and gone, and not bad results at that, but having a bit of a conservative edge about me of late, [...]
