Just bought £3000 worth of TAN – Tanfield group. Very good growth story in an expanding future market, zero emmision vehicles. The price may be bit high though. Time will tell. My portfolio is now standing at £22,100. Santander has done well recently, the price seems to be catching up on it’s performance.

Portfolio now £21,900 (+16% in around 4 months). Cleverly (?) and sadly, I had to bite the bullet and de-risk my portfolio, so I sold £6000 of RCG and £10,000 is left. It’s not that I don’t like the company, but my profits had grown and coupled with the fact I’m short term trading on [...]

Next week is crucial for my SIPP portfolio. My main holding, RC Group will announce their interim results on Tuesday 26th Sep and I’m hoping for some good growth figures and signs that they are going to be a main player in the ever expanding biometric security market.   However, I am a bit worried [...]

I get a kick out of identifying and buying Warren Buffet type stocks at the right price and time, usually after a short term reduction in share price.

Here you can see what’s in my account. I’ve got PDC (Printing.com), RCG (RC Group) and SCH (Banco Santander). Started with £18,850 and now on £20,050

Biotrace has a 14.4 price to earnings ratio with an estimated earnings per share increase of 44% in 2006 and then 14% in 2007. The estimated p/e next year is 10.2, so I thought I’d research it as a potential investment. They recently announced a new contract with NATO for 1.2m and the share price is off the [...]

The top 8th bank in the world, Spanish Banco Santander, is a faster growing bank than most of the worldwide banking giants such as Citigroup and HSBC and I should know, because I used to work for them! The Forecast p/e is around 7.5 next year, so that would surely have a positive effect on the price if earning per share targets [...]

Who knows, I may be the next Warren Buffet, the Sage of Omaha. I’m [...]
