West China Cement – A Love Story

Wednesday, 12 May, 2010 12:13 Written by Paul

It’s with a heavy heart that today I write about my sale of West China Cement. Our brief love affair – this time around, for we have loved before – began in July 2009 when I picked up 153 of these little grey beauties at £1.70. Watching our love take flight, two short weeks later [...]

Renesola and Happenings in Greece

Friday, 07 May, 2010 10:50 Written by Paul

There’s no doubting anyone holding any sort of UK based portfolio over the past week or two has felt the pinch of what’s been happening in Greece. I, like many, are hoping it’s no more than a blip – albeit a pretty big blip for those on the ground – and with solutions being touted [...]

Purchase – OPG Power Ventures

Monday, 05 April, 2010 10:33 Written by Paul

Late last week we added OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar with the view of dipping our toe in the under-supplied Indian power market. As it panned out we were pretty quick on the draw, picking up 1,598 shares at 66 pence a share for a total outlay of £1,054.68 after selling off [...]

Sale – A Little Renesola

Saturday, 03 April, 2010 02:03 Written by Paul

Eros International wasn’t the only holding to get a trim following our decision to add OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar. For those of you that have followed Investor Trader over the journey you’ll know that we often buy and sell a little Renesola on the dips and peaks. And although we believe [...]

Sale – Eros International

Friday, 02 April, 2010 10:52 Written by Paul

After adding OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar we decided it was time to raise a little capital to facilitate a purchase. We settled on liduidating the remaining tranche of our EROS International holdings for no better reason than we needed the dinero. We were averaged into Eros International (EROS.L) at 105 pence [...]

On the Radar – OPG Power Ventures

Thursday, 01 April, 2010 10:27 Written by Paul

After keeping a sneaky eye on OPG Power Ventures for the past few months, I’ve decided to to take the plunge and add it to the Investor Trader Radar. OPG was set up in 2008 to develop, own and manage power generation facilities in India based on a prevailing and an expected electricity demand and [...]

Cement’s Taking Off

Sunday, 07 March, 2010 04:00 Written by Paul

Early last week West China Cement caught my eye after finishing the day up 34 pence at 490 pence, a rise of a little over 7% on the day. At that point after a little positive pondering, I postulated that if WCC could breach the 5 quid mark that week and remain there – remaining there’s [...]

West China Cement

Tuesday, 02 March, 2010 05:58 Written by Paul

First off allow me to apologise for the infrequency of my posting of late. Rather than braving the European chill, for the last month I’ve been avoiding things that slither and sting down under. I’ve swapped my laptop for a beach towel and the only stock that’s piqued my interest has been the stock of [...]

Buckle Up For a Renesola Ride

Wednesday, 20 January, 2010 16:22 Written by Paul

It’s been a hair-raising start to 2010 for Renseola – our manufacturer of solar wafers and solar power products – but no-one said investing in China-based alternative energy AIM shares was gonna be easy! January started with an optimistic bang sending SOLA.L skyrocketing from it’s Christmas break price of 145 pence up to 190 pence [...]

Stock Tips 2010

Sunday, 03 January, 2010 13:35 Written by Paul

Despite the markets taking a well-earned sabbatical, I love this time of year on the investment calendar. It draws a line under the year gone and allows us to take stock of where our investment strategy is at and where it’s heading. In bad times the break can be the catalyst the market needs to [...]
