Last Share you Bought?

[nearlyretired2004]

Cadogan Petroleum ...... unfortunately, at the mo ...... but will hold on and hope .......

[IronWolf]

My new latest share bought is now Deckers Outdoor (most of income comes from UGG boots).

Probably more of a growth stock than I'm used to, share price halved recently due to a profit warning due to soaring material costs, I don't see it harming them long term and I think there's plenty of scope for further growth in sales.

Suppose the downside risk is Uggs become a fashion faux pas but I think theres a good chance they'll stay popular because theyre so comfortable.

XAG for me. Made a nice profit.

3D Systems Corp a couple of weeks ago NYSE:DDD up around 10% today because it's closest competitor NASDAQ:SSYS merged with a privately held company this morning. SSYS is up over 20%, so although I'm happy with DDD, I'm a bit jealous.

Wanted some exposure to 3D printing because I think (hope) it has a big future.

Last one was Sainsbury. I bought when the whole sector took a hit after Tesco's results announcement as I didn't have a supermarket in my portfolio. I peferred Sainsbury for PE ratio and yield, and also think they have a better customer proposition. i.e. I prefer shopping there to Tesco

It was between them and Morrisons....

I had a good run on DECK last year - sold at about 22% gain if i remember right. I might have another bite if they have had a kick recently - good company, good management - china is a massive market-to-be for UGGS and they aren't going away anytime soon.

That's what I hope. Lets hope for some cold dry winters in China

Just topping up on VOD at the moment. Hold VOD, TSCO & GSK.

Keeping a eye on BP., AZN, BLND, SSE, UU., SBRY, BA. and NG. Who knows all pretty decent divi's.

VOD's got a few things going on at the moment so this months bonus will most likey end up in there before the ex-divi in June

The last share I bought was a top up of Dialight (DIA) @ 755p in Feb. They issued a very +ve FY statement recently and the SP is up around 40% to 1075p.

Their main business is industrial LED lighting. Market cap. is now around £330m so will soon be promoted to the FTSE 250 which should give the SP another boost.

Robbie Burns is a fan and also Mark Slater who runs the Slater Growth fund - I think DIA is a top three holding for the fund.

A lot further to go imo.

Sounds like one to investigate. The future is definitely LED; not the fluorescent rubbish we're near enough forced to buy now!

Excellent company, they charge me £1.20 for what equates to a 20 minute walk into town, Arriva charge £2.20 for the same journey, needless to say that Arriva never get any of my business

I bought Morrisons on my wife's advice in 2004, when they were struggling to digest Safeway, @ 190.7p. Sold most of them last December @ 325p. 66% profit, but it took 7 years. Should have sold earlier, but that's hindsight for you.
