Amazing what a Tory govt, ZIRP and immigration can do for a box (sorry executive house) builder's share price.

Who cares as long as it goes to fund my hookers and blow retirement party

Persimmon have just announced a 5%+ captial return for 2015 to 110p, upping their total payout through 2021 from £6.20 a share to £9.00 a share

Up 89 to 2,062p on the news. Straight onto the watch list.

Glad I binned Glencore.

158 today, this is why I am a firm believer of fire and forget, get a good stock and over the long term all bumps in the road are evened out

My biggest headache is PLUS500 at the moment, took a dive earlier in the year due to regulator problems, topped up then and was subject to a failed take over bid, the bid collapsed and the price recovered in the last week to where I broke even, down 12% today

Should have taken the break even and walked away!

8th December 411p a share
Today 659p a share with a nice healthy dividend in my pocket

I am no where near good enough to play the short game, but holding my own over the long term

You were plain lucky. it does not always end up like this.
Many companies whose stock nosedives end up as penny stocks.

Oddly I did today as well.

Can't work out why I was playing around with bits of shares outside...

Oh I can I didn't pay for most of them...

Every stock I make money on is skill
Every stock I lose money on is just bad luck
