Summer Holidays

Well it's the summer holidays and we are currently away in Cornwall.  We started the week, waking up in The Manor House, near Okehampton.  We spent the weekend there, enjoying every opportunity to have a great time.  The Manor House is an all in one complex where you get three meals a day and a whole package of activities from Art and Crafts to sports as part of the deal.

We left there on Monday to stay at our secret get away place in Cornwall.

Well it may be the holidays, but the markets are open so the week started with a sell of my CPP shares.  I bought some last week, and sold them on Monday to bag about £50 profit.  Not a massive profit but CPP is currently a volatile share.  Then on Tues I bought back at about 22p, and set an automatic trade at 28p.  What a day.  The wife and I went to St Ives, and visited The Tate, St Ives. We were sat in the Tate having lunch and watched the share climb up to just short of 28p and then it fell away to about 22p closing.  Damm, I missed a sale opportunity! However the view from the restaurant was fantastic!

Also topped up on GDL at about 14p, within my SIPP.  Have set these to trade at about 18p.

CPP climbed again on Wednesday, only to fall back ahead of Thursday results. I also noticed ADT dropped from 145p to 117p.  No idea why, but If I had the cash I would have jumped in.  Shame, it recovered 1o pence.  Would have been a nice deal!
