A great trading update on Friday saw a hike in the #BOOT share price and finally break resistance of 310p (in style), but I had bought at 221p in April 2017, so I decided to take the profit and wait for a dip. It is a great company, so it may take a while, but you never know - I will be watching that gap.

#SDY seems to fall out of favour quite easily, but there is a lot of support for the share price at this level and the company's update on 19th September was very promising as it expects to beat full-year forecasts. On the strength of that report the share price picked up a little to 53p, but almost immediately slipped back. I subsequently bought at 51p. I know...

I have been looking at a number of companies that are just outside of my screening criteria including #GFRD which fails on EBITDA margin and its current price relative to its 50 and 200 DMA. I concluded that the recent price drop is largely due to it going ex-dividend concurrent with a general cooling in the markets in the past week or so, on top of the charge it...

Not often I come across a share with zero momentum, but the share price of #AUG has barely moved since September 2017 and could represent a deep-value contrarian play. On a forward PE of 4.33x, forecast earnings per share growth of 22.2% and a dividend yield of 4.89% it has something going for it. On the down side it has a low ROCE and issues with HMRC, but I like...

This share has lagged recently, so I have added at 99p. It has a forecast PE ratio of 8.25x, but earnings per share growth forecast of 14.3% and a dividend yield of 7.07% (not to be sniffed at). It reported an earnings upgrade in the latter part of the year, but without a re-rating. With a stock rank of 74 it scores high for Quality and very high for Value, but...

This share is one of a couple in my portfolio that have lagged behind recently, but I added yesterday @ 36.24p as I think it may bounce from recent support at or around this level. It has a forecast PE ratio of 11.5 but forecast EPS growth of 14.3%. Earning were upgraded in the latter part of the year and it has a price target of 55p. It enjoys a stockrank of 89...

Not sure whether the buyers and seasonal low volumes will help to push this beyond 60p in the near-term or if it will fade back. There are price targets at 69p, so it may have the legs to go higher, but not sure it will happen just yet. This is one of my larger holdings since entering at 51p, so it will be interesting to see what happens next.

The company's strategy is reflecting well in its improved revenues and profitability - and for the moment it seems to be holding above the channel, but always possible we may see some profit taking as a result of continuing concerns about regulation of the industry.

This had been in the doldrums for a short while, but quite a bit of price action today, so maybe something is afoot? Anything over 130p is profitable for me, so I hope the break to the upside is sustained.

This was a tip I picked-up a few days ago and bought at 32.29p as I did a little desk research and liked the look of their restaurants, locations and menus. Customer reviews on trip-advisor are very complementary and average 4+, so I bought some shares for my Adventurous ISA portfolio. The interim report read well and management seem to be trying very hard to...

So much for the 'cup and handle' scenario as #UPGS is not yet managing to break higher and has retraced a little. Never mind, I still have some headroom above the 82p entry price and can afford to wait to see if buyers start to show interest. You can't win them all and I could be proved wrong, but I still think this has the potential to surprise a lot of people...

I haven't mentioned #HDD for a while even though it is one of my favourite companies. I added to my core holding a while ago in this micro-cap company and am currently +73% on the aggregate holding. I genuinely believe this is a small but perfectly formed star in the making. It had a very successful fund-raise recently to increase production capacity of its unique...

Good to see #HYR holding onto its recent gains as this is a little above break-even level for me. If this momentum holds we could be back in 4p territory before too long.

Recent price action and indicators suggest it may not be too long before #DIS is knocking on the door of 3p with a little bit of Xmas cheer to complement its lovely RedLeg Spiced Rum and Blackwoods Gin. Cheers!

A robust update today has helped #SDY to hold onto recent gains. There was a gap-up this morning, so there is always the chance the gap could get closed before further progress, but at the moment it looks like 60p could be the next hurdle. A rise above 60p would be very welcome.

I have bought and sold a few #DIS shares during the peaks and troughs, but retained a core holding and have just added a few more @ 2.39p. I like the products (which taste great), the company (which is taking a very measured approach to its growth - even if it seems a little slow at times), the distribution channels (#RedLegSpicedRum now in most supermarkets...

It was pleasing to note that #UPGS confirmed its strong trading performance today and toned down the flat outlook that had been a feature of its previous update, which caused the severe price drop (maybe the influence of new experienced board members). Interestingly there may be a cup and handle forming as a result of recent interest, which could help boost the...

The +8.5% rise in #HYR today might herald a bit of a recovery for this out-of-favour company. The down-trend for #HYR has been pretty relentless since July 2016, but maybe the price has bottomed? I hope so as I bought at 2.3p and would welcome a close above current resistance and a return to 4.72p.
