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

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!
