Elections!!!

After the elections in France and Greece the markets have dropped a lot and all my shares except PINN and TSTR have lost ground.We are still waiting for the elusive RNS for TSTR!! It may be next week but it may be next month, year, millenium!! Antimony is getting rarer and nthe sooner we know what is happening with TSTR the better.
Interesting to note that PINN have engaged Newgate Threadneedle to do some PR for them as they are part of PTCM. I was invested in them but sold out some time ago at a loss.I shall keep an eye on them!

Berkeley Mineral Resources PLC,continue do do nothing! We are waiting for a JORC and Feasability Study to see where it is going but in the meantime the sp has dropped a lot! I can't see any significant movement in sp until they start selling some slimes and it wouldn't surprise me if this was still less than 6p by year end!

Porta Communications PTCM

Interesting RNS from Porta Communications this morning stating that they have acquired Hansard Communications. The deal is a cash and shares deal and as a result the sp went up a little this morning. It is good to see but I have a long way to go to breakeven (22p) so I am not getting very excited at the moment!

Shares in Leeds Petroleum, LDP are doing well and have been climbing steadily for a few days now. There is no solid news just some expectation. I don't have many shares and am now just in profit but need a lot more to hit my sell price! At least something is looking good! Decided to sell today at a small profit. At the end of the day, its better than in the bank and a profit is a profit!
Should have waited until the end of the day as the sp was up to 0.45 and I sold at 0.29p!! Still that's trading!
Only a few more days to go now before Greencore changes its trading and currency, they are my favourite holding at the moment and I am looking to top up at any opportunity!

Greencore Group GNC

After I saw on the news last night about food poisoning from Loyd Grosman sauces, I checked that they weren't made by Greencore! Phew!! Today I found some info from KBC Bank which was interesting to read. The general gist was that it is likely to be a management buyout but who can say. At the moment it is showing as the only blue share in my pf so that can't be bad.

Porta Communications seems to have settled a bit and is currently trading at 10p so could do with it pushing on to get over 20p so I can breakeven!!

Weekly Roundup

It has been a tumultuous week on the world markets this week with the on-off Greek referendum and the FTSE closed down on Friday night. However, on Friday night all my shares except 1 finished blue!!

The great news was the big improvement in Greencore Group sp which finished at €0.79 which now puts me in profit. I hope the momentum continues next week and that we get some news of the proposed takeover soon. The following is an interesting link  but it not suggesting anything new.

Finally Victoria Oil and Gas is on the move northwards and hopefully for good! The sp closed up at 4.31p on Friday as the days are running out before the first gas is supplied to real customers, who then start paying!!! The VOG website was updated and showed the latest progress   and I envisage that gas will start flowing in December ie in about 4 weeks time VOG will be a supplier rather than an explorer!

Next week is the AGM and consolidation of Porta Communications shares. The likelihood is that some new acquisitions will be announced and it would be nice to think the sp goes up but my experience is that when consolidation takes place the sp drops. I still need the sp to reach 22p from its consolidated level of 11p to breakeven so I will be waiting a lot longer.

Red Rock Resources started  little rise on Friday and finished at 5.15p but if we get a good Columbia update next week then we should see the sp continue further north. The companies that RRR have an interest in Jupiter Mining, Ascot Mining and Regency Mines were all up this week so it is beginning to look more hopeful.

Edenville Energy issued an RNS giving an operational update and broadly are aiming to produce a JORC before the end of December! Net result: sp went up a little!

As we get into the more dynamic time of the trading year, I am looking to see more rises and that I can sell some shares and make some money!!!
