UK Stockmarket 2009 and beyond

Jarvis seems pretty good actually but sadly i missed the boat to join in

when big jumps like that happens it does put me off in joining in, i did this with AMC months back. i may keep an eye to see if it moves back 17p ish i may enter but not too fussed to be honest...

i am so glad i did put a bit of money back in the stock market because there is a lot of blue screens at the moment
and looking at all my ltd orders to buy are looking very low in todays market price on shares.

Now i hope Mr Bear dosnt come soon reason being i am happy to be in at this stage


Tradetime that Bear dancing is excellent ;-)

when big jumps like that happens it does put me off in joining in

Yea I do that and often it rises some more.

I'd rank jrvs over htt just roughly speaking because of the charts and general prospects. I dont have any great insight on either so am not watching nevermind investing

* Says deal for British market worth "millions of dollars"
* Says 888 has other deals with U.S. firms in pipeline
* Shares up 10.2 percent

LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - British online gaming group 888 (888.L) said U.S. casino operator Harrah's Entertainment [HAMLEH.UL] was to use 888 software in Britain, sending its shares to a two-month high.

888 said its Dragonfish unit would support the British launch and roll-out of World Series of Poker (WSOP) and Caesars Casino brands, both owned by Harrah's, the world's largest gaming firm.

The deal with Harrah’s, a heavy hitter in the US gambling industry, is transformational for online gaming firm 888 Holdings, KBC Peel Hunt believes.

The deal with Harrah’s addresses two issues, KBC believes, namely the continued credibility of its business to business (B2B) strategy and its decision not to vigorously pursue a settlement with the Department of Justice.

‘This should be the catalyst for a re-rating and we upgrade to a Buy,’ said KBC analyst Nick Batram, who has a 93p price target for the stock.

Sector review comes highly recommended, looks pretty anyway

An Excellent Tool for Tracking Sector Performance in the Stock Market


If you click on the graphic above from FinViz, you'll see a day by day view of trailing monthly performance for the major sectors of the stock market. It's an excellent way, at a glance, of seeing which sectors have been gaining and losing strength. Note how the trend has shifted across the sectors from early September to the present, as the market has been gaining strength rather than topping out and losing momentum. Hats off to FinViz for some very useful, creative, and free tools.

Good to see another GKP investor in here!
I bought in at 34p then sold at 78.8p, so bagged a couple of grand profit which I promptly stuck in a property fund within an ISA.

I only started in the stock market in May and have limited myself to a 6k exposure.

I have recently re-bought using my original stake @ 70p and I am anxiously waiting news.

Current stocks I hold

Jarvis @ 23p (Held them for months at 14p! Then sold to buy GKP, never mind, still think they have some way to go in the medium term!)

Gulf Keystone @ 70p (Awaiting results)

Emphyrean Energy @ 17.8p (Awaiting gas drilling results in Texas - bit of a risky one!)

Umeco @ £2.27 (A long termer, FTSE250 stock, in the defence and aerospace industry, good profits vis-a-vis market cap but some risk involved r.e. banking covenants, good dividend payment of 11p per share)

Workspace Group @ 15.5p (Another long-termer, rents out commercial property and office space in Central London, good recovery play, some takeover speculation recently)

UNIQ @ 20.2p (Medium Termer, produces frozen and chilled food for M&S, Co-Op and Pizza Hut. Currently scaling back by selling off European Businesses to raise capital, and re-structuring UK business. Doing well at the moment, may attracted a takeover bid, some risk involved due to pension deficit, however has been offset somewhat due to performance of FTSE)

Current stocks I have been watching!

Cineworld Group
Booker Group
Gem Diamonds
Invista European Real Estate Trust
RBS
Lloyds Banking Group
HMV Group
IG Group

Good luck to all.

Soooo, is it time to take the money off the table??? If I was sensible I should probably take another 50%.

KMR seems to be waking up again after slumbering.
