My sell limit order for Morgan Advanced Materials plc Ordinary 25p Shares @285p triggered in early March. – Seems to have been a good move as they haven’t followed the rest of the market up.
I am still looking to make some sales and free up some cash.
SSE looks to be slowing so adding a limit order at 1800. Not expecting it to trigger overnight but looking at recent fluctuations it could happen within the next few weeks.
Diploma PLC doing well and encouraging signs, so adding a but limit @3500p to hopefully increase my stake.
Foxtons (FOXT) has been a good earner for me with 40% profit showing but growth has slowed. Looking for a good exit point.
Good to see Barclays (BARC) move back into profit for me. Holding this for now. Climbed 25% since January!

Last months EasyJet sale seems to have been well timed at 571p. It’s slipped back about 30p since and with it’s long term trajectory looking good it might be worth looking to buy back in. I may set a buy order at about 500p
I have always like to follow director buy in’s and My Dad emailed me today with a couple of interesting prospects. Brickability Group Ordinary Shares (BRCK). – They have been rising nicely since September but recently dropped back on news of the demand for building materials slowing. Director buy in at 67.5, Currently buy at 65p.
The other is Vesuvius (VSVS) A similar story here with the price dropping back with a slight slow down on the demand for steel. The CFO just bought in at 484p (Current price 476p). Its fluctuating a bit so looking to buy in at 460p.

A few limit orders added today for shares and funds I don’t see moving in the immediate term.
Airtel Africa plc ORD USD1 @120p
Gattaca plc Ord GBP0.01 @125p
Morgan Advanced Materials plc Ordinary 25p Shares @285p
A buy limit placed on HANetf ICAV Future Of Defence UCITS ETF USD Acc @750p – Might have missed the boat here but I’ll re-think over the week. I might adjust to 775p as it looks likely to fall back at least a bit after the recent steep climb. – Exploring a new avenue here but I think likely to be a lucrative area over the coming years.

Well it’s been not so Daily trading for me over the last few years. More neglecting my SIPP and investments have resulted in my pension and investments moving in the wrong direction!
It’s time for some action. I have plan…
Time to sell off all investments I have in the portfolio that I am not 100% happy with. I’ll do this over the next couple of weeks and publish all of my sold funds and shares here… When I am feeling refreshed and have some cash available, I will start looking for new investments and all my buys and sells will be posted in a brand new trades table for 2024. I’ll try to post trades at the time of making the trade, if not I’ll update soon after. I would love to hear form you, if you think I have made a mistake on something or have something you would like to add – Please feel free to leave your comments!
To start, I sold my EasyJet shares today. – Perhaps too early but the recent price hike left me with a small profit and I may well jump back in if a buy opportunity comes up over the next few weeks. I have a feeling that international travel will really take off again this year…
Coronovirus – Sell or not to Sell

Yesterday my instincts told me to sell sell sell, So I did. Was this panic selling? – Partly perhaps, but I also want some finances available should the markets really crash.
Busnessing are already starting to be impacted by restrictions on moving goods and travel. Ports are closed in China and businesses throughout the world are already reporting supply chain issues. In my opinion this is going to get worse before it gets better. I can’t see the markets making a quick recovery no matter what stimulus measures are put in place
So the excellent profits that were showing with NMC Health and Future PLC were largely wiped out showing just small profits. Finablr, I considered holding onto a little longer but looking at the markets today, it looks like my decision was a resonable one
Only time will tell if yesterday was a panic moment or a shrewd move!

OK so no real commitments on the SIPP yet. In the mean time I have been doing a little share trading. I Bought Kainos Group in November 2019 and now showing a cracking 106% profit. Time to sell?
I have put a buy limit order in for Future PLC at 1140p – Hoping to pick some up today. Looking really positive. – Aquiring new companies, raising dividend payments etc.
I have plans for a new 2020 trading diary. – Watch this space.
SIPP Funds for 2020 What to choose?

Time to fix my neglected SIPP.
Over the last few years I have completely neglected my SIPP. Over the last three years, investments have been predominently funds with a few share buys thrown in when I have seen something I liked the look of. My only recent activity was a bulk sell of nearly all of my Funds and shares in December 2017. I was feeling nervous and had a hunch to sell. This was an excellent move that should have been followed by a re-buy in January when the FTSE had crashed 1000 points but sadly I sat on the cash and watched everything rise back to previous levels. I held some cash for a while before getting back in to everything just before everything dropped again! I think the lesson learned here was not to just jump in and out of managing a fund. Eiether buy and forget or keep on top of whats happening in the world!
This year I intend to do things differently. I want a set and forget strategy that will take me through to next year. I am looking for a handful of promising funds that will do well in 2020.
Time to do some reading! Any ideas?
