Re: Gan [link] I’m up 47% in 3 weeks on a half decent holding. I’ve mentioned in here on at least four occasions lately that this share should be bought with a 6-9 months timeframe in mind. Not necessarily it’s gonna fly now.The reason is that, now, they’re allowed to function in America with the restrictions on real money gambling online lifted 3 weeks ago; it’ll take 6 months for this to translate into more revenue and more profits.They’re prepared for it. GAN has a factory in Sofia, the Capital of Bulgaria, producing their software at a rapid pace at the moment. They already have American partners ready for full action in two American states, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I believe.I’m not gonna bother about day to day variation or volatility in the share price of this kind of company/scenario. This company has ‘Jam’ being prepared Now for consumption ASAP. My opinion.Take what you like out of all this. This will be the last time I’ll comment on GAN for a while. I think I’ve set my case, the way I see it, very clearly. No need for me to say anything anymore.Up to you ladies and gentlemen. It’s your money, it’s your decision. For sure.Good luck Dr M

EKT [link] Have a look at EKT sp chart. I’ve held this since October, bought several times since and have a large holding now. It’s up again today.HL got lots of money buying me EKT. Yes??And I’ve got lots of money owning the shares. Yes??BTW if EKT uptrend breaks down I exit. Strict trailing stop loss strategy in place.The essential thing here is if you buy good shares you make money. So does your broker. Fine. No probs with me. Do you have any questions for me. But please make them sensible and constructive. Thank you.Good luck Dr M

Re: Gan Indeed Loadsadough, HL makes a lot of money out of me buying and selling frequently. Very true. But so am I. My portfolio valuation, as I type now, is the highest I’ve ever seen it in my entire life. Need I say anything else ??Buying and selling the right shares at profits is wonderful for your wealth, I promise you, 110%.It is the bottom line that matters. The total of £££ gained v £££ lost. This is the name of the game. Mine is at a very healthy ratio. I’m a happy bunny indeed. It is only ignorance that makes you fail to understand this.Cushty.Good luckDr M

Re: SEE nooooh not this one again I can hear the Dr say. I have enough high riskers - is this one still burning cash - have Star which have kept - traded a little not enough - for years that promises yet never delivers.I did trade this one at a profit a few times though - did not keep. Never keep for too long trade!!!! Greatland which am trading is up a bit today. Nige has caught me up in Sou which is in profit - Another losiing on / trading if things work is SAR - will buy a new car if this one fly's.. The only good cash burner is KIN have held in massive loss for 3 years have now taken profits twice - cut by half is still up 40% do like this one . proud I kept it -liked the Directors style - dumped a pet drug they had developed when a rival firm got there first - was the right thing to do - shares crashed and they had just bought masses themselves. They will be making money soon - need to add back in strt building up a sizeable position.

Emerging markets What’s Next for Emerging Markets: Crisis or Opportunity? May 30, 2018 | Financial Professionals, Mitch on the Markets, Private Client GroupUnless you have 100% of your portfolio invested in oil (which I would not recommend), it’s been a pretty shaky start to the year for many asset classes and investment portfolios. Stocks, as measured by the S&P 500, underwent what now looks like a double-dip correction to start the year, and through mid-May are barely in positive territory.1 Bond (U.S. Treasuries) prices have been under pressure all year, as yields on the 10-year and 30-year have both shot past 3%.2 And, global stocks have been basically flat for the year.3But the category I want to focus on this week is Emerging Markets (EM), whose recent sell-off has become a front-and-center topic in the financial news. Generally speaking, Emerging Markets have delivered solid relative performance compared to U.S. stocks over the last two years,4 but performance in year-to-date 2018 has many questioning whether the EM trade has seen its day.Before I dive in, let me first say this: investing in Emerging Markets is not for everyone. Global diversification may be beneficial for many investors, and we advocate for it quite a bit here at Zacks Investment Management. But global diversification does not necessarily imply having a material allocation to Emerging Markets. EM as a category falls on the outlier of investing in foreign markets and is comprised of countries with volatile growth rates and largely nascent capital markets systems. A global investor with exposure to Britain has a much different risk profile than a person who invests in Brazil, where the economy and capital markets are far less sophisticated.Whether you invest in Emerging Markets ultimately depends on your investment horizon, your appetite for risk, your income needs, and your growth objectives. In my view, unless you’re in your 20’s and desire a high-risk portfolio, you probably shouldn’t have more than 15% to 20% in Emerging Markets. But at the end of the day, for most investors, I think the number should probably be much lower.Emerging Markets: Brace for Impact or Seize the Opportunity?The Bearish Outlook:As of this writing, Emerging Markets (as measured by EEM) are down around -6% for the year.5 This marks a pretty wide diversion from the S&P 500 and global stocks (MSCI World), which are both slightly positive for the year in spite of higher levels of volatility.I think there are a couple of distinct causes for selling pressure in Emerging Markets. One is the stronger dollar. As rhetoric surrounding trade wars has elevated and as the Federal Reserve sticks to its gradual path of rate increases, the dollar has fairly abruptly strengthened, which generally hurts Emerging Markets economies as financing and import costs rise.The other issues impacting the EM trade could be global central banks leaning towards tightening as well, and the ever-present risk of a bubbling geopolitical event. In other words, the familiar headwinds that Emerging Markets face in pretty much any given cycle.The Bullish OutlookOn the positive side, there are also a few reasons to be hopeful about where Emerging Markets could go from here. For one, the Emerging Markets tend to go the way of the global economy, and I still believe that the theme of ‘synchronized global growth’ has lasting power in 2018. Global GDP growth expectations for 2018 remain positive and corporate earnings and global PMIs suggest nothing has fundamentally changed to the growth calculus.6 Emerging Markets also could see a bolster from higher commodity prices.From an investment standpoint, the case is fairly compelling, too: the MSCI Emerging Index has recently been trading at a 30% discount to MSCI World Index (price/book ratio), which is the biggest discount since December 2016.7 Equity valuations in the Emerging Markets have also fallen to lower than 12 times forward e

Re: EVBG Iamsharecrazy Over the weekend I removed you and all the others except the atrocious malicious anti social psychopath from my Ignore List. So just one in my Ignore list now.I thought you may have normalised. But it appears you haven’t. You just come up with these two nonsense posts this afternoon.What is the matter with you? You are keen to live up to your name, crazy. Are you?Why don’t you just join the human race please.Importantly, be objective and constructive. Supply facts and figures. Give us data and evidence. Otherwise don’t bother. People will laugh at you. I’m not having a cheap shot at you, you did it yourself.I’m not putting you on ignore again. I’ll just read your posts and hope they are educational and constructive.ThanksDr M

American Sales I was holding 24 American shares at the start of today. Just sold two of them.DHI a house builder, lost me money and I lost patience. So it’s gone.CGNX, an AI share that I had high hopes for. Let me down badly. Lost a big chunk. Kept 15% of my holding running. I’m bruised and battered here. Basically, I lost the plot, took my eyes off the ball. Ouch !!!!!I also have two significant losers DXC ROK but they appear to be showing some life recently. So I’m sitting tight here. Also OLED is losing me a fair bit but it’s such a small holding I just watch. Few others losing me pennies or I should cents. So I sit tight. The rest are winners; some very significant gainers.My portfolio of American shares worth around £55,000 GBP is showing a gain of 12%. Most of the shares were bought last year mainly in the autumn. The American fund that I hold run by Baillie Gifford is up 24% YTD by comparison. Twice as good as me, mmmmmm. We are not amused. LolIn Summary: I’m doing OK but could and should do better.All good fun when you’re in the blue, hey. Cushty Dr M

Re: EVBG [link] is the EVBG sp chart showing a “rising” share that I go for. I paid $46.5 US Dollar per share. The OKTA sp chart I showed last night. Have a look at that post. I paid $56.7 US Dollar per share. Forex fo both was 0.7515. HL executed the purchases for me.American shares can be expensive and may not be suitable for everyone. You may wish to invest in an American Fund instead. Try the Baillie Gifford American UT which I highlighted yesterday, 24% up YTD. Very good.DYOR Dr M
