LSE:POS) provides engineering methods and services for the oil & gas sector. This company stock is characterized by many gaps (gaps-up and gaps-down), extremely serious equilibrium market zones and significant movements; whereas a gap is a break in price. Gaps on this market reflect the proverbial imbalance in supply and demand on […]

After roughly 5 months of perpetual bear market, the shares at Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited (
LSE:GKP) have long started rising. This company, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company which operates in Iraq, is registered in Bermuda and was listed on AIM in 2004. It has a big number of investors, and as […]

Lighthouse is planning to go private. What a shower! Going private effectively destroys all shareholder value as far as I’m concerned and as the market has market the company down by 30-40% today, I don’t seem to be the only one that thinks that. Any company that has gone public owes it to its shareholders […]

Promethean slumped again. In the old days I would have immediately doubled up and bought more on its earlier slump, but I’m not very wary indeed. Instead I planned to wait again but instead took a dab more, rather than a full clip as my old confidence bubbled up a bit. Of course if the […]

Over the past few days, the ol’ portfolio has come screaming back. This was after seeing a super 30 per cent profit dive to yearly returns barely scraping in at low single figures. When you’re loading up on bigger positions it’s harder to make accurate yearly return calculations, so I tend to use time-weighted calculations. […]

I’m getting fed up with all the governmental insider trading. When the market rallies, you know damn well something will be announced in 3-4 days. This time around it was the Spanish bailout. That is why the market spiked and fell on Monday. The outsiders bought in and the insiders who were buying on tips […]

A slump isn’t over before there is terror in the media; and whilst there is fear there is currently no headline saying “CRASH”. As such, I’m not optimistic that this summer slump is over. All the warning signs are flashing. The pound has collapsed against the Yen, a sign of a sudden flight to havens. […]

‘Buy now’ is not really a sensible thing to do as we could fall 10% more in the next few days. However we might not and when a stock looks right you should buy regardless. This has caused me to buy Flybe, which I suppose is a very risky buy. Airlines go bust all the […]

This week will decide if this is the crash of the summer or the current move is just a nasty shake. I’m sitting on a little Lamprel, torn between taking a quick 25% profit and holding it for the long term and perhaps a 100% or more. The trouble with fast 20% profits is they […]
