And still it rumbles on!!!

After all the fuss about the Euro conference, nothing much has changed, the markets still don't have much confidence and Christmas is bearing down on us fast.
I had an RNS this morning from Edenville  which was a drilling update that said very little really. They have found more coal but because of delays in analysing samples there won't be a JORC until next year!! The market was unimpressed.

Greencore issued an RNS about Director sharedealing and that was just directors getting bonuses in shares. I can't argue with that and it had no effect on the market, the management are doing a good job and this week is the record date for the dividend!!

No other news except I sold my IMIC shares as it looks to me as they are up to some dubious dealings and lining up for dilution to fund their expansion. Get out now as I can't see the sp going up.

Greencore Group GNC

I found this link yesterday about the takeover of UNIQ and hope that they are able to get a move on soon. The year end is 30th September so results should be in November. The interim dividend is due for payment 5th October, so there is a lot going on at the moment.

The other day I set an alert for GKN for when they dropped below 180p. They went down to 176 and yesterday closed at 190 so if I had bought GKN shares instead of VOG I would have had a nice little earner from a FTSE company. I am going to follow GKN for a while as I wouldn't mind building a holding in them.

Greencore Group GNC

I was on holiday last week and missed all the excitement on the stock exchange but did take up my rights issue and buy some more GNC shares at €0.597. I am looking forward to the UNIQ deal being finalised in September and the Year end results being published in due course. I regard this as one of my long term shares and will be topping up as and when as the dividend is very good. I am not sure if there will be a dividend at the year end because of the UNIQ deal but we will see.

Whilst I was on holiday there were a couple of nice RNS for PINN and VOG and I expect VOG to start moving upwards as we get into October November and they start supplying gas.

Tristar Resources TSTR

The sp is holding up and moving very slightly upwards. Lots of my other shares are doing nothing really and many people put this down to the end of the financial year in UK. Hopefully trading will be better tomorrow in the new tax year after all the ruminations regarding Capital Gains Tax have taken place!

I was pleased to see that I had received my dividend from Greencore Group GNC today. It was roughly 7% which was better than what I am gertting from my bank so I will definitely be topping up my shares here.

I have decided in a new rule of trading; Always buy shares in the Market Size as listed on the Stock Exchange website. This should make it easier to buy and sell online and it makes it a reasonable investment in each share. For GNC it is 3000 shares so I will have to top up to that as funds become available.
