I’ve created this blog to track my stockmarket dealings. I’m aiming to grow my investment as quickly as possibly so it will involve a high degree of risk. I’ll be concentrating mainly on small cap companies with high growth potential and I’ll be logging my analysis of the companies which I investigate, good or bad on here. I’ll regularly update my holdings and the overall value, no matter how they perform. This is to be a warts and all blog in order to learn and improve and I hope to get the thoughts of others on the companies mentioned.
I’ve had an interest in stockmarket investment for many years but could never really afford to invest until fairly recently. My interest began with mechanical investment techniques but I lost interest in this as it doesn’t seem to be a method suited to exciting returns…and after all this is meant to be fun!
I’m treating this as an experiment to find an approach to investment which is profitable, which works for me and which I’m comfortable with. I’ll discuss different approaches and theories as I go along. The ulitimate aim is to find out if its really possible for the average investor with limited time to spend and limited funds to invest to be able to make a real difference to the quality of life via stockmarket investment.
I hope you find it useful.
Hi, I’ve justed starting investing and Corac is one of two I’ve invested in so far (the other being Greystar Resources). Have just noticed that Corac’s technical director, Julian Reed, sold £47k worth of shares on 6th November last year. Thought this was a bit worrying…what do you think?
Hi,
Everything I’ve heard about Corac leaves me feeling very excited about their prospects. There is no way to know why Mr Reed decided to sell those shares but perhaps he just needed the money for something specific! Its worth noting that he was recently awarded a share option exercisable at 51.5p between 27/12/08 and 27/12/15 for 200,000 options which now gives him 911,668 options. Thats a very large number of shares, presumably previous awards were at an even lower price than 51.5p so I doubt he’d feel too concerned at taking a bit of profit now.
Chairman Prof. Gerry Musgrave holds 1,670,530 ordinary shares representing 1.94% of the Company’s issued share capital and 2,193,334 options over the Company’s shares.
Technical Director Julian Reed holds 13,300 ordinary shares representing 0.02% of the Company’s issued share capital and 911,668 options over the Company’s shares.
