Last Share you Bought?

My AIM shares are holding up pretty well. Though I'm very selective.

Taking biggest hits in the majors such as Tesco , HSBC, Glaxo.

Feeling edgy. So may sit on cash unless there's something that really grabs my attention.

So it looks we've been rather vigorously shafted by the market. Going to hold I Suppose, as I don't really want to sell at a loss and I'm not sure how much further it can actually fall (famous last words).

I'm considering this a lesson on AIM shares! Don't think I will ever 'dip my toe in' again.

EMED fell from 10p, so it hit its head on the ceiling; I called it before, so its on course?
I dont think its that bad otherwise, just people take profits at certain points

Copper is up today, theres a bigger picture

Im jealous of the growth of the likes of Monetise and Quindell, but im buying for the long term 30+ years and i just dont feel i can trust AIM listed tech companies to still be there and still be making money.

Both are involved with ftse companies, so they are tied into solid turn over so long as they are useful.
If essential they might get taken over

Still looking at AAZ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4gHxyBP9v8&feature=em-uploademail
Also MONI who back banks mobile payment system but the shares already rose

AAZ was doing ok (relative to awful fall from 2011) but they revised down revenue. Margin profit of 5m and the company valued 15m, so pretty dam cheap still.
Im more worried about politics, gold will go up in time and they cost $767oz to produce

Bought some Medusa on ASX. They cost $300 to produce an oz I think.

Bought MONI as it fell or deflated some from its over speculation. Its natural to pull back, I dont think they have problems doing business.
They issued 10% more shares to switch to low start fees/subs for new business, which is good as mobile payments is about low margins, fast sales?

Care to explain your rationale?

So far so good on my AIM portfolio.

Good time to have spare cash sitting around, bought a few more FlyBe yesterday after a dip as they continue a fascinating turnaround project.

BT price has fallen back with the rest of the market over the last couple of weeks and felt it was a good opportunity to get back in, the company seems to be doing the right thing with the sports (hopefully the next set of results will reflect their investment) , and then there is the fibre optics, and potentially mobile presence.

Yeah but don't you think that even if they continue to outbid sky on sporting rights, the amount they pay is too much and not worth the investment. I think they've started a trend of massively over paying for sporting rights. It's good that finally someone is giving sky good competition .. But at what cost?

Hopefully the bean counters have done their homework at BT.

A few others are trying fibre also - Sky and Talk Talk are doing a JV with CityFibre and rolling out fibre broadband service in York:

Obviously it will take some time before its up and running and only be in York but if successful they will roll it out in other areas too, think its to do with the pricing that BT charges them to use their fibre network.

Both BT and BSkyB have been falling in recent weeks. The market does seem to be taking the view that both companies are going to spend a lot more money on sports right without necessarily any clear advantage to either.
