Clipper, Copenhagen and Christmas

Friday, 18 December, 2009 13:00 Written by Paul

Following on from my semi-forced uptake of Lloyds earlier in the month, this week I received another timely email from my broker informing me of a Tender Offer whereby I could part with some or all of my holding of Clipper Windpower at the slightly higher than current market price of 180 pence per share. [...]

Lloyds Rights Issue

Friday, 04 December, 2009 15:26 Written by Paul

From the four options I spoke of earlier in the week, I’ve gone all in with Lloyds (option 1) fully taking up my offered allotment of 1,037 shares at £0.37 a share. The rights issue gave me a reduction on current market value of about £0.16 per share or 30%, so I can’t really complain, [...]

Topping Up On Lloyds…I Think

Monday, 30 November, 2009 12:31 Written by Paul

Personally, I’ve always considered trading shares a very intimate process. I would do my homework, I would look at the market and I would decide, initially my entry point, and down the track, my exit point for any given equity. The timings were mine, the mistakes – of which there have been many – were [...]

ReneSola Results

Monday, 16 November, 2009 16:27 Written by Paul

Earlier today ReneSola announced its third quarter results (for the period ending 30th September 2009) and the future is looking pretty rosy for our vertically integrated Chinese manufacturer of solar power products. Highlights included: Third quarter net revenues exceeded guidance coming in at US$140.9 million, an increase of 70.6% over second quarter net revenue figures [...]

Renesola

Monday, 02 November, 2009 22:37 Written by Paul

So I’ve been talking about it for long enough but last Friday I put my money where my mouth was and topped up on some Renesola, adding another 692 shares to our holding at £1.23488 a share for a total consideration of £854.54. Renesola has been on our radar again since it visited the 150 [...]

Sold a Little Eros International PLC

Wednesday, 28 October, 2009 18:07 Written by Paul

Another three-figure write-off day for the FTSE and again our portfolio is adrift atop a sea of red, but its not all bad news. We’ve taken the opportunity to sell off a few of our Eros International shares. We first got on board with Eros International – a Bollywood film producer and distributor – in [...]

Sale – Synergy Health PLC

Tuesday, 27 October, 2009 18:34 Written by Paul

Today we sold our holding of 82 shares in Synergy Health PLC (SYR.L) for £5.8730 a share, netting us a total return of £481.59 before costs. We got on board with Synergy Health back in mid-July of this year at £5.0800 a share. In 3 and a half months we’ve made 79.3 pence per share [...]

Not Up, Not Down, Just Sideways

Monday, 26 October, 2009 18:59 Written by Paul

It seems as though our portfolio has been hovering in a range just above or below 10K for months now. In reality, it’s probably been closer to a few weeks but after the meteoric rise of our – small caps dominated – portfolio in the preceding four months, expectations have been high. But sideways isn’t [...]

Orange Juice Anyone? Bought Some Asian Citrus

Tuesday, 13 October, 2009 19:01 Written by Paul

We’ve been stockpiling a little cash of late at Investor Trader – taking the top off one or two nicely performing investments – and today we blew the lot! Again we’ve sent our money east to the Chinese, this time to their agricultural sector purchasing some 254 shares of Asian Citrus (ACHC.L) at £4.27 per [...]

Selling a Few Clipper Windpower

Sunday, 04 October, 2009 15:46 Written by Paul

The last couple of weeks has seen a little turnaround in the fortunes of our – predominantly – small capped portfolio. The recent rise and rise of the FTSE seems to indicate that there’s still faith in the market in general so maybe it’s a case of people taking from AIM to invest in the [...]
