Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands.

I thought CFD's were free of tax, that's how much I know, I have never used them, should have been sure of my facts before posting.

No, not cfd's....spread bets yes....but cfd's add to the capital gains or losses.....I'm not too bad on shares but zero on cfds...but Cynic seems to be good at trading them...

With cfd's : you could have shorted BP., and when shorting you put up front 30% (this can vary...with BP.10%)....and receive a small financing..., when going long you pay a small amount out every day....very tricky to play...got my fingers burnt many a time but hoping to turn around my account...I prefer shares....

when shorting BP CFDs (aka charity for distribution) you only put up 5% though with RKH it is 25% rising to 30% after 10k shares ... on some, it can be as high as 50/75%, though that is quite rare

The thing is to have a good surplus in the account and a good stoploss...

AVM - arguably already happened, though not one i have ever followed
=============
stoplosses can also be a pain in the arse - RKH's wild gyrations on wednesday 2nd june were a classic of what can happen .... thank goodness i was too busy playing golf with the ig boys to get influenced one way or the other

I just think that it could climb to new highs.....it feels that way...(it is a gold producer by the way).

RKH will be climbing to new highs in the months ahead, potentially around 300% higher by year end.
No need to look at something like AVM, just keep hold of your RKH shares, as I have said since 30p levels.
I have made more profit than anyone here, simple by buying and holding.
No stress and no messy trading.

Mr P .... i'll say it yet again .... you have made zero profit until you bank it .... however, i do agree that in this instance, buying and holding has been the less stressful and possibly the most profitable .... but again, you could have done similarly with SEO, NOP and any number of others, and lost your shirt ..... hindsight's great!
