Nice to see your stocks are doing well. I've sold everything and just hold 7IM APP and Fundsmith in equal amounts.

They are up about 8% in total for me.

I just need to get some gold and silver, I expect them to come down a little and will start buying them. I want my portfolio to look 60% 7IM/Fundsmith, 30% gold/silver and 10% cash.

Learned I don't have the time to look at individual stocks so keeping things simple.

Crazy watching SXX rising. Now at 50p (170% rise since first mentioned) with an Mcap over over £1.1bn! I think now they have such a big Mcap they might be added on to the FTSE350 soon, which opens them up to fund accounts! I wonder how high they can go. Long term its a no-brainer, I'm just surprised its doing this well when production is years down the line!

They keep popping up as the most viewed share for the past week or so. The AIM market is so volatile I swear, they were up at 50p then two hours from the close drop 17%. Going to avoid AIM if I can help it for that reason alone, look at IOG jumping all over the place as well

It's definitely not for the feint hearted lol IOGs drop was a bit over done so I'm not surprised that's it's on the rise again. SXX is confusing as it's still not got the funding, or came out with any news.

Trying to understand AIM is like trying to understand women!

More days like this please

This rose today on no news!! Usually if a share rises this much on no news, they have to release a statement saying they don't know why it's risen so much. They haven't done this which makes me think news is on the horizon. I'm holding on to this one for a while longer.

Another 15% rise yesterday from CTAG and the day has started with them up another 10%, which brings me up 75% in total. Its just a shame I didn't have loads invested here, but I can't be greedy and have to be happy with what I've got. There must be some news in the pipeline. I'm going to be holding these for a good while so I'm not too bothered when this started to drop (what goes up, must come down). Hopefully its found some good support at the 9/10p level!

Nice one mate, not looked at my funds yet as I've been travelling but should have received a nice dividend payment from Fundsmith on the 31st August. You going to keep CTAG or sell and move on?

I hope they don't do what most AIM shares do and bounce up and down by 30% for the next few weeks

haha I can see them dropping in the next couple if weeks if no news comes, as people on AIM are impatient. I'll be holding on until next year as a minimum as they've secured some deals with companies but no one knows the details of it, plus production doesn't start until next year. I'll only sell if they give me a reason too before then.

I didn't know you got dividends from funds. Makes sense tho. Will you be reinvesting the dividends or spending them as cashed earned from nothing?

Decided to top-slice CTAG as I'm now 135% up on it. I took about 25% from it and bought in to PXOG and FCR.

PXOG own 50% of a company who will start drilling for gas later in the year, and FCR have bought over a zinc mine. Just a brief description of what they do.

I'll update any buys, sells or big jumps in price (hopefully in the right direction)

Just read a good article on different ways you can save or invest money. They have also included their risk factor. Maybe if Stock and Shares isn't your thing, there are other options out there. Especilly now the banks have dropped interest rates to the lowest they've ever been.

Read the full article on Hargreaves Lansdown website.

Samsung took a beating the last few days:

They are being banned on certain airline carries now, with many more going to ban them as well. They are down around 10% so far because of their battery explosions from the S7, if they go down another 5-7%, I may snap a few up and hold them for the long-term as it seems like a over reaction to me.

Whoops, too late, already up 5% from yesterday

That was quick!! Usually it continues to fall for a while. Looks like a look people were thinking the same as you!

I made another buy today. I bought shares in a company called BAGR. They had a placing to cover all of their debt ($21m) but the banks agreed on $8m and some shares. They have $4m in cash and a market capital of £2m! Revenue looking good and a breakeven first half of the year.

I just checked their 1 year graph for the sake of it and wow, when they move they move about 20% in either direction :D.

Way too risky for me but I know these are the types of stocks that you get your rocks off too, good luck bud!

haha cheers. When I saw the fundamentals from their half year report, it didn't take me long to make my decision and buy some. But just like in poker, confirmation bais can play a big part in your decision making. It looks like they will go from strength to strength, everything looks in place and they are moving forward. But of course it can take one small thing, like a delay or the banks to change their mind to swing this the other way. The risk is definitely there but IMO the reward outweighs it.

I hope I'm right

Are you still waiting on the price of gold to fall to buy in to it?

I moved to Thailand again a few weeks ago and been busy with everything that I've not even had a chance to look until you just mentioned it. Really need do to that thing I hate doing (research) and see what the pros are saying.

I was on Twitter yesterday and I saw a lot of people talking about the "10% challenge". The rules are simple. You start with £1000, buy shares in a company for the short term, you then have to sell it once you make 10% profit on it. Sounds simple but I bet will be tricky. After 50 successful trades, you should have roughly £100k....simple, right?

This is just for fun.

Haha, Good luck mate! Just checked their share history and they have a history of jumping up and down about 10%.

You could be 1/50th of the way through by the time you wake up, although I'm guess you were interested in these anyway and not going to run it up to 500k

Exactly why I picked them

3p seems to be the bottom, when they bounce back up to 4p. I just hope I've called it right this time.

I'm actually already invested here for the long term as I can see a massive upside when their H2 results come out. I'll only be selling £1100 tho if it goes up 10%.

A little bit of confirmation bias as I can't imagine this not going up 10%
