I bought into these on January 3rd for the dividend. Probably boring to a lot on investors, but with a yield of 9.3%, they are worth a look for income seekers.

Going well and nicely in the money already! Looking to take profit around the 210p level ;o)

Im in this morning , anyone know why sometimes trades you have made show up on stockwatch and sometimes they don't ?

More than a million traded might be delayed :-)

The PLUS market ceased in 2012ish - I'm not sure if there is another interface for trading shares other than the LSE - which would explain your 'missing' trade.

Oh i'm just slightly off that skinny :)
Maybe it'll show up later as a sell

Which does go to show how inaccurate buy and sell figures are especially on a thinly traded stock like this .

Does anyone know the answer to my post 74?

Lost all contact with plus and smaller stock organisations and boards. Sorry cant help.

Jimmy - re my earlier post, if your supplier supports it, the ticker "PLUS:NWS.GB" will show the trades that have not been carried out on the LSE.

Ok i see mine on there skinny thanks.
No i dont i bought earlier than that ,anyway thanks i'll have a look.

Well at least you bought!

As far as I'm aware, the above and the LSE (shown on this site under trades), are the only 2 trading portals.

Looks like you got this one right Skinny. Now moving away from 150 with some speed. Should be a very profitable trade for you. Needless to add, I didn't join you! :-(

Yep good call skinny.

Lovely profit already.

Same here good call skinny .

Its nice when it works out.

The chart looks even better and 190 looks realistic PDQ!

Was rather hoping for 210p as an exit point!......still, probably shouldn't be too greedy!

Good pick this one skinny, thank you. Never traded it before. Moved my stop to 163.0 to lock in + 10

Just pausing for breath?

Presumably many investors exited at 170p? Am still holding and looking for 190p.

I took profit at 170 and thought I would wait before having another nibble, but noticed that volume are not that great in either direction.

Still watching!

I think you were right Fred. All indicators are indicating the sp will slide, so sold this morning and will be looking to get back in around the 150p level. Took my eye off this for a few days and profit reduced. :o(
