Infinis energy ipo

srcandas

Well a lot of fun, a little profit, and no costs to get in. I'm happy

Sadly I can't get excited about the next lot so until Lloyds I guess I'll be a by stander.

Don't know what other thinks but the Royal Mail IPO first timers I think don't make a lot of difference as the amount is so small. But the amount of dosh sloshing around looking for a home may be a bigger factor. If that is true there will still be some IPO gains to be had but I have to be morivated.

I'll let my Infinis run but I'm out of both Royal Mail and Merlin.

Don't know what I'll do with no investment activity?

Well there is England footie tonight, and soon the ashes, and the Rugby, and ..... guess I'll think of something :rotfl:

Good Luck one and all and a jolly weekend

I wouldn't angrily call them "morons" without knowing anything about it....

I would; you are too polite.

No need to argue in here! Key lesson is not to expect huge one-day gains like Royal Mail, but that's not to say Infinis may not grow strongly in the coming years (5 years as usually suggested) - just take a look at Blur Group for a great example!

Share price closed at 270p http://www.investoo.co.uk/infinis-share-price-in-slight-gain-on-market-debut/ so that's a near 4% gain, much better than any bank account is paying and with a good yield, should be OK.

General sentiment with this one was that it was always more tempting for those looking for income rather than short-term upside.

I for one stayed out of this one, didn't feel like I understand the company enough and there will be plenty more investment opportunities next year.

If you want to be a trader, look at something like spread betting but investing needs more of a calm and calculated approach IMO.

I was actually in it hoping for a 4-10% gain. I figured there was very little risk of immediate downside on this one. A 4% one day gain is good indeed.

I've a mind to scale my investment back to a point at which point half the investment remaining will be "profit" and move my "float" back to something boring but safe like BATS or DGE until the next opportunity. Realistically, though the holding will be relatively small, it then becomes very low risk/high reward.

Just wondering what people think will happen both on Monday but also when unconditional trading starts and people can move the shares into ISAs etc. Priced at the low end of the range, the dividend yield does look fairly juicy at least short term - so I'm kind of hoping to catch another bump to maybe 280-285 before I reduce my holding.

Yes, I'm also in a dilemma over what to do with my Infinis shares. I had planned not to get involved but Infinis appealed quite strongly to me. Ideally, I think I'd like to about half my £1000 exposure, as my portfolio is new and still small. However, I would not sell unless it rises to ~285p. Still a bit apprehensive about the autumn statement, but I don't think it should harm it in the long run. What are other people's ideas on sell/holding?

I will prob sell all mine if it's hits the 285-290 mark.

Has anyone heard about the JQW offering - but they are floating on the alternative investment market (AIM). Any opinions on this one?

Like you I was only really hoping for around a 5-10% gain, although they don't appear to sound bad as a longer term hold, I really can't be bothered keeping up to date with what is happening to individual companies, so I will probably cash out soon. I would have held if there was no short term gain, but if there is I intend to take it and run.

This is a very different animal to RM, Merlin or Infinis. It has nothing unique about it, is not leader in it's field, and is open to start up competition (and very low cost start up competition at that).

It's value from what I can see relies on it's connections in both China (currently regionally limited) and Europe (currently unknown ?). And that means people who can be persuaded to go elsewhere easily enough.

On the plus side it has been successful to date.

What puts me off are statements like "upgrade servers" as this costs very little these days and is a rolling cost, not a capital investment.

And if they are going to blow money on "developing a mobile platform" I hope they know the pitfalls. What I don't see is how they are going to build services with synergy that would give them better value from their client base.

Their expansion seems too vertical to me (more of the same) in a very competitive market.

But just my analysis for what it is worth (about two pennies ).

ps: As said above just bcause it is an IPO doesn't make it good

If you're new to trading and cant afford high risk then stay out of AIM. (My opinion)

There are certain fund managers that purchase AIM in their portfolio like the Cazenove UK class B, but that is spread over many companies. My tip would be to go with them.

Up slightly on close at 272p
