Worlds most expensive house?

Reports suggest the residence is worth more than $1bn (£630m). 


Errrrr....did I miss something?

Quiet saturday

All the men folk in the Marigold household have gone off to the LA motor show today, obviously dreaming of what super car they will buy when I make it rich with my share dealings....they are hoping, im going to be first in line and treat myself to a nice little red mini convertable!

As casa marigold has been so peaceful I have enjoyed a morning of tennis. The Murray vs Nadal match was an epic and I apologise unreservedly to my neighbours who probably were not happy at hearing a screaming banshee at 7am on a saturday, so gutted that Murray lost. All I ask now is that Federer dont win the title as he is far too smug and up himself for my liking!

Looking forward to next weeks trading. NCT went up a bit on Friday, so looks like a new box is forming and its bouncing around as it should be. As this is all a learning curve for me, I hope I recognize the sell point and keep my nice tidy profit,  Im off to pour myself a glass of wine now, so cheers to a good week.

Stocks tumble again

Stocks fell again today, with the markets still unsettled in Europe over the impending Irish bailout, also worries over the financial stability of Portugal and Spain.

The Dow was down 142.21 points, it's fourth drop out of the last six trading days. The fed down graded next years recovery forecast, but it has been a long and hard recession, it doesn't recover over night.

Further weakness was caused by the news that North Korea shelled a disputed island in South Korea killing 2 south Korean marines. South Korea then fired back.

I seriously think the world is going mad!

NCT dropped 30c, it's not a worry at the moment, it's doing what shares do moving up and down. As long as it stays within it's box it's fine. Hope tomorrow brings some light relief.

Marigold says 'peace man'

NCT is flying....

Im so pleased with my NCT share I scanned my chart in so you can see how well it is behaving! On a difficult day for the markets, it is bucking the trend and holding its own. Im sure it will have a little drop back soon but forming a box should only make it stronger.

I hope everyone had a good start to the week like I have. Im looking forward to my first Thanksgiving holiday in the states. I gather its the turkey and stuffing day, where as in the UK we do that at xmas and call it turkey and tinsel! Haven't decided whether the Marigold household will go for turkey and stuffing or save it for xmas, think we will probably save it as I really couldn't imagine christmas without the turkey!

I'm loving Im a Celebrity on ITV, Gillian Mckeith you really are in a world of your own. I haven't laughed so much in ages, she should get an oscar for  her fainting fit, how did Ant and Dec manage not to laugh? Shes not the best advert for vegetariumism though is she?  Apparently she is only 4 months older than Nigella Lawson....she looks old enough to be her mother! Know whose diet I will be following, now, wheres that steak??

Getting the Friday feeling

It's been a long week!

The markets were a bit shakey today, I guess they could remain that way a bit longer with the news Ireland needs a financial bail out, Portugal and Spain might not be far behind. My NCT shares held up well, finishing over 7% up on the day.

It was an exciting day though in the Marigold household as my gorgeous daughter went to collect an award at the Victoria & Albert museum in London as winner of a fashion in dance competition, her 3rd award this year. She is such a star and so talented. Might have to have a little drinkie poos later.....well done vix

Hope you all enjoy your Friday night and be good.

Good first day

My first day finished 23c up....wooooo! I'm so excited, I know it won't be so good every day but right now I'm feeling very pleased with myself!

Off to celebrate at the coffee shop with an extra large latte! I know how to live

My first purchase

I am happy to announce that this morning I finally bought my first shares!! These shares have been making boxes quite nicely, have been watching them for about 6 weeks, so fingers crossed this is the start to my millions!!

I bought
 250 shares @ $5.11 each in Newcastle Investment Corp NYSE:NCT total cost $1,277.50 

Home sick

Markets flat today, really want them to sort themselves out. None of the shares I'm charting are on the rise, just flat lining. Maybe I need to start looking else where, check msn and google every day and Barrons every Saturday. But hey, at least I haven't lost anything.

All the news of the royal wedding is making me so home sick. Miss my daughter and my mates, miss ole London town and Covent Garden, heck I'm even missing Italy!! LA doesn't do fish and chips uk style and it doesn't do a good Indian curry like they do in brum or Leicester. The sunshine is nice here but it doesn't feel like home. Maybe when our furniture arrives it will.

Did I tell you about that? It is being held to ransom by the removal company as they quoted us in error, if you value your belongings don't use the Removal Group. Bunch of crooks....

Oh well, better get back to trying to make some cash, so I can buy our furniture back!!

Slow slow slower stop!

Oh well markets rubbish again today. Certainly ain't getting rich quick!

The old man will have to carry on with the 2 jobs a little longer yet. They say good news picks up the markets, so let's hope the royal wedding does just that. I had my invitation through the post today. Oh well, off to look for me new frock

False start

Well I guess the system is working so far!

The box system has stopped me buying into any stocks thus far, and if I had, I would be down already. So, although it is frustrating, I know im doing the right thing in waiting.

I don't know why all the markets are down this week, but it's across the board. Might get some answers tomorrow from Barrons.

Let's hope next week is more fruitful

Marigold says.....all good things come to those who wait!

Waiting for the markets

Well now I have the funds in place, I am having to wait for the markets!

They have been doing their thing the past few days and have been volatile to say the least. Different things have been happening to the shares I have been charting. 2 of them are continuing to rise but haven't formed a box and the 3rd one has just dropped 1c below the bottom of the box, which in my system is a danger sign! I am charting more than just 3 shares but these were the 3 which were behaving themselves!

I may now drop the 3rd share, see what they do over the next day or so. Either way I have to wait for the others to form a box if I am to buy into them, so going to stick to the system and not buy now, and probably not for this week, as it takes a minimum of 3 days for the box to be formed.

Hey ho I'm sure the wait will be worth it!

Waiting

Waiting to be in a position to buy my first shares. Have narrowed the choice down and I'm pretty sure I know which ones I'm gonna buy. These have been forming boxes nicely and hopefully will make a break through this week.

First of all though, I need to get paid this Tuesday and then transfer the money to my investment account. I may get berated for that comment, but it's true!

Hope to update later this week with news of my purchase!
