Firstly a mystery - after trundling along with about 6 page reads a day (mostly mine), my blog got 133 views today. That's quite exciting - for me that's the big time!!
CLLN:Carillion finally went into profit today so I ditched them. It was rather a petulant purchase just trying to get one over on the shorters, and it became clear when I wrote my annual review that I didn't really want to keep them. I sold them for a massive £4.61 (0.6%) profit - better than interest rates!
So I had an opportunity to fulfil my dream of getting OPTI:Optibiotix up to 10% of my holding. 686 more shares at 74.7p costing £521.39 is an absolute bargain. Needless to say they dropped further today so I could have got them for 73p if I had waited. This is insanely cheap for a company that's got so much promise. I would have put all the Carillion proceeds into this share, but vowed never to go above 10% on one company. I now have 6,584 shares costing £5,578.65 making a loss of £862.07. I don't care - the price is being held artificially low. When it takes off, it will take off so spectacularly I'll need to be belted in.
So the other half went on 2,598 shares of TRX:Tissue Regenix costing 18.9p after I stated in my review anything below 20p was a bargain. This cost £499.97 and brings my total shareholding to 13,006 costing £2,367.46. I just need them to start selling loads of product now, as they are losing £50 but that's nothing - especially compared to Optibiotix!
Big news is that AMYT:Amryt Pharma has finally gone into profit. I kept buying more when they went below 15p to try and get my average price down from 23p and it's paid off. A 1p rise in share price today resulted in a £272 gain and it's £4.43 in profit. Staggering to think that every penny increase will be worth £272. I'm very, very, very excited!
I have to fess up to being really naughty. I was so happy about securing my holiday money, and all I needed to do was wait until Friday when settlement day would have allowed my to transfer the cash to my current account, ready for wiring to Peru in September. However, last night I got over excited by the prospects of two of my existing shares and I accidentally placed a couple of fill or kill orders. These don't usually work. Every one I've ever done has ended up killed, so I didn't really think I'd end up spending all my holiday cash.
Both orders were successful.
Firstly I got 1,950 shares in IOG:Independent Oil & Gas as I think news is imminent and they could go even madder than they have been this week. These cost 30.3p which is double what I paid for my first lot. The price went up again today after I bought them but not enough to clear the commission. The total holding is still up £491 (43%).
The other batch went on KIBO:Kibo Mining which had sunk back to just above 5p. These have a habit of spiking up and down, and recently 5p has been a bit of a point of resistance. I paid 5.239p for 14,912 shares, totaling £798 with the commission and £7.81 stamp duty. I'm expecting these to rebound to 6p, after which I will sell enough to get my holiday money back, but increase my overall holding - if all goes to plan. These edged up after I bought them but there's a 9% spread to combat before they're earning profit.
The Week 1 stats are going to be crazy tomorrow...
