If I sell ST would be on his own, he might get lonely ! :)

Thanks for coming and keeping me company, Smiler :o) I still think SUB is good for a few surprises - and I do mean positive ones!

he'll be ok ...i still push his wheelchair!

look at DCD-good results today but still early days but bargain price!

Absolutely kicking myself for selling NU.--thinking of buying back in case it's going to do a CLE--anyone else still in?

Bought some NU. back today--hope I'm right!! obviously not very popular on here. Also added some vds as it's got such exciting prospects and is consistently going up-plus I bought a few INFS as it has just done a potentially massive deal with yahoo and the market having marked it up a bit now seems to have moved on-still undervalued imo.

hello....it's a busy day for me today. I've just added to my VIY as it's nicely up and evil says sp rises expected for the next 4 weeks--hope he's right but I'm into this one long term anyway. fantastic technology and now it seems it will be able to sense and warn of explosives.

If your back into Uranium you need some VML news out today.

Afternoon all. Just had a go at ATCG - moving nicely into profit and on a low PE. DYOR.

Yes ST a nice 9% up, EDIT, Now 12 %

ST , I have found a nice couple of risers, What do you think !!

she either needs to jack the car up (off?) first or get herself inflated after she has crawled under!

Smiler, I'd say i see a bubble in danger of bursting at any moment.

May be SubSea could use Her !!!!!

I've seen this salvage technique where they inflate a huge airbag in the shape of a cradle undereneath a sunken ship. It could just work . . .

Anyone of thinking of buying property in Bulgaria or anywhere else will have a negative effect as global houseing market is starting to spiral downwards and the yields are starting to take effect. So dont be taken in by the Hype as uk property prices are on the downturn like every where else.!

I would have to dispute that.
Each to their own opinion, but......................
The UK population is growing every day. New land is increasingly difficult to source and gain permission for. Plots are, by statute, smaller and the houses, again by statute are more expensive to build. Authority run housing is a joke, with few properties in areas people wish to live in and rentals are historically quite high.
Land, and by extension houses, are a finite resource, whereas demand is increasing. Prices are high, but costs as a % of disposable income are low. Inflation and unemployment are low.
Finally, for the first time, we have fewer siblings sharing larger inheritances as property owning parents die. The effect of this is to provide ever larger deposits or the property is not sold on, just kept as a rental investment thereby reducing the supply side.
Whichever way I cut it, I cannot see any great retractment in prices while general economic conditions remain benign. Even if there is an economic storm brewing, property is now seen as a defensive and safe investment, so as equity holdings are pulled, property is likely to see increased demand.
The key, as always, is quality investing. Run down ex-authority property is more likely to be hit than high quality small homes in nice areas. I just about agree with you on city centre apartments though.

what am i missing?[its bound to be obvious but i cant for the life of me see what]. If/when COIL get taken over the new comapany, XTR,will give you a new share on the given ratio. fair enough i am with it so far. the RNS states that the 9 for 10 offer at the SP listed in the RNS on 16 mar gives a 30% premium. therefore if i was ,theoretically to lump in, then it would suggest a 30% instant profit[providing XTR dont dive on 1st day of trading.]
using current bid SPs and an arbitary figure to keep maths easy
90 COIL shares @3.75p=3.15
81 XTR shares @4.75p=3.85
this still leaves you in profit by approx 19%
is it as easy as this?if so why isn't everyone jumping on the bandwagon[this is why i think i am missing something]
any takers
Alex

Rob, my quick calculation using the offers and bids indicated by my online broker indicates an upside of the order of about 6%. COIL shares are currently available to buy at 4p

90 x 4 = 360

81 x 4.75 = 384.75

not quite so impressive and you'd have to deal quite a lot in order to make much profit over and above dealing costs, not to mention being lucky as far as SP movement goes . . . .

XTR is on my watchlist regarding the oil shale, but until that part of the business really starts to take off, I'm not sure the company is anything more than high-risk.

I''ve just bought into WHG wren homes as the sp is rising nicely since tranferring from ofex. It is profitable and paying a maiden div, has a large land bank and a steadily growing market as the only quoted builder of retirement homes and apartments for the comfortably off elderly. It looks a safe bet to me-any opinions?
