f**k me fastjet. Only down 75% since January LOL.

cyan rose 40% the other week..
FastJet has been doing some heavy dilution to expand into new territories - hence the big losses since January. Not the time to buy, but worth keeping an eye on.
They only floated back in November

I honestly can think of nothing worse to invest in personally than an African budget airline. It's got risk written all over it to me.

Anything with 3rd world/emerging countries represent extra risk. Its still an untaped continent & them africans do like travelling a few thousand miles.
Its still a startup company, so still to early IMO to buy.

True, but compared to the risk of Cyan it makes them look like Coca Cola. It has doom and gloom written all over it to me, airlines are very difficult to maintain as is but in the climate of Africa too? I'd have to be bored of money 

not a bad week trading GKP. in at 150s last week, sold in 170s this week, back in at 150s & seems to be holding 170 atm.
All in all, up about 15%. Made a couple of hundred trading PPC this week n all, but put all that in Cupid.

bought ECR a few weeks ago @ .13 & sold today @.49
Profits paying my car loan off




wish I was REM beginning of august at .05 they hit 1.25 today!

hows everyone doing? Ive hit a good run.
Took money from ECR into MARL - sold just after a spike - put it all into GKP as the Court Case was due soon enough.
Sure enough - it did - took the lot & now back in MARL which has already climbed 15%
All in all, 100% up in 3 weeks & expect MARL to be double it up again. Then I am done with shares.
Walking away.

I'm still sat on ABF, which despite continued increases in turnover thanks to Primark is yoyoing around the same figure I got in at. Go figure!

Planning to super long Intel next now I've started my new job, then look at other sectors.

Cyan is back up to 0.5 too 

Royal Mail shares worth a look? If you buy them can you sell them if there is a quick bump in the price when it becomes fully traded?

Should have mentioned actually that spur of the moment I've shifted out of ABF (at no loss) and I'm looking to get in on the Royal Mail IPO along with Sam, it's being very heavily subscribed and predictions are that the value will be at the high end for the shares. Bit of a risk compared to my safe position with ABF, but opportunities like this and potentially Twitter don't come along often.

Minimum investment is £750 though, and you have until Tuesday to get involved (that might be broker dependant).

This is worth looking at if you're interested, its a good summary: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/10340710/Royal-Mail-privatisation-shares-A-list-of-stockbrokers-and-their-costs.html

yep - im umm-ing & ahh-ing about Royal Mail.

might be able to turn a quick profit.  Im sure some large corporate will be sniffing to take it over as much as possible at some point. Its something that has zero competition.
Either for the pension pot - or the shares isa.

As for me currently... Still heavily in MARL waiting for drill to start.
