Stocks and Shares

Ah very nice of you!

 

Not got a tremendous amount of knowledge in this but since moving to North aAmerica I've enrolled in a company shares investment plan where I contribute 10% of my wage and the Company matches this 6%. Works out to be a nice little saving account. The company in return get a little more from you as they make everyone a shareholder. And with my little knowledge it's all done for me. On that note look up railroad shares in North America Canadian National ,Canadian pacific BNSF, CSX Union Pacific, to name a few.

 

So just a little update on the three mining shares and my portfolio in general. Overall across the entirety of the portfolio I'm up at 6%.

However all three mining companies have continued to drop in value. In reality I probably bought shares before they bottomed out in value.

I have every confidence in Sirius minerals and will most likely increase my holding here shortly. Although I am unlikely to see much in the way of increase in share price for the next 5 years, after that I would expect a fairly healthy profit and potential dividend. They are currently down 8% on purchase price.

Petra diamonds are still struggling a little bit but I still retain optimism for a decent gain within a year. They are currently down 3% on purchase price.

My little experiment with Premier African Minerals however has lived up to its potentially exciting and risky tag. After I bought my shares they plummeted by 40%. However for the last week they have been increasing again and are now edging to back to around a 30% decrease. From what I can see most investors still believe that the share price will improve dramatically in the next 360 days.

 

Just a thought. Have you considered selling the Premier shares and consolidating the 30% gain. Then re-invest the original amount in the same shares. You would lose a little bit in charges, but at least you wont lose the gain you've made.

 

Ho ho!

It's interesting to observe the identity of the contributors to this thread and know, with certainty, just who are the shameless vampire speculators. Where do you think that profiteering money you make from your dirty speculation comes from, eh? Eh? Straight out of the mouths of widows, babies and the destitute. That's where.

There appears to be an absolute and direct correlation to those who are the stoutest and most strident defenders of capitalism and the Conservative Party. A coincidence do you think?

If you had even the slightest iota of shame or humility or pity for your brother, you wouldn't do such filthy and disgusting exploitation of your fellow man!

That you should even feel emboldened enough to publicly brag about it on a message board, leaves us ordinary people open-mouthed and aghast at the sheer brass-necked effrontery of you.

 

You are an excellent troll Clive, and you have worked hard at it over a long time on this forum, I commend your efforts.

 

Shouldn't you be oppressing/suppressing some dissidents Clive?

 

Is this with reference to cgt? If so mr taxman won't like re-investing in the same stock?

 

I would but at the moment I've not made a profit on them, currently standing at a loss. To be honest the amount I've actually got invested in Premier is not enough to make that worthwhile anyway.

 

Oh Clive, don't hate the player. Hate the game. I expect your just looking for bites, but if you are being serious might I suggest a thread about stocks and shares might be best avoided.

 

Oh yes. You'd like that, wouldn't you? Just turn a blind eye and let you get on with it. I should have thought a thread about stocks and shares would be the ideal place to reaffirm my absolute disgust at those who do it.

The 'game' would be over if you 'players' took a proper moral stance.

 

Company A floats. People invest company has cash to expand and employ more. Investors see a return, everyone is happy.
Company B doesn't, has cash flow issues, folds, people lose jobs.

 

Well I'm still going to do it no matter how you feel about it, so I'm merely suggesting rather than getting all in a bluster you might as well avoid the thread.

 

I'd invest it quickly make a quick buck take it all out and spend it on having a good time!
At the rate at which N Korea is going they'll have built their own H bomb and most likely used it and one of the Western allied countries so then the US will retaliate and the world is even more ****ed than it already is!
Maybe Kim Jong Un just needs a good talking to and he'll stop!

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were 30% up on those.

 

Interestingly Bahrain I have been looking at investing in some companies involved in the production of military equipment, ill post more later.
