Oil find

Desire petroleum have discovered oil off the Falkland Islands, their shares have jumped 24% at the news, some lucky people are gonna be feeling rich tonight!

No snow here!

I just love watching the snow on the TV across Europe, its 24 degrees here (about 75 in old money). This time last year I was suffering with about 30cm of snow at my front door in Italy. I must admit, im not a snow lover, its far too wet and cold for me, and you cant stand up in the stuff!! So smug smile on my face!

See England missed out on hosting the world cup, at least they have the Olympics in 18 months to look forward to. So well done Russia. I can imagine they are gutted back home, footie is such a big deal. Being brought up in Rugby, I am more a fan of the oval ball. Nothing better than a saturday afternoon at twickers, must try to get a game in there next year.....something else to add to the 'To do List'

So money needed for this list, NCT has formed a box. The top is $6.25 and the bottom is $5.45, so quite a large box. My sell point at the moment is $5.44, hope it forges upwards into another box. If not, I have a few new shares im watching, some very interesting ones aswell so its definitely feeling  like the beginnings of a bull market, and about time too. Can only be good news. Yay, good news, we could all do with a dose of that.

Just watching Ricky Gervais going all goo goo over a puppy on This Morning.........surreal!

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.
