Prudential, John Wood Group, Charter

John Wood Group - gapped overnight realizing my PR.  Passed my buy-point.  Buy was up to £2.20 and now £2.40.  Still possible - watch.  Currently sell pressure.

Charter - made 10% in first hour.  An argument for being up at the bell?  Now at £4.10 above my buy price of £3.80. MIssed the boat?  Still buy pressure though.  Still following its upward trend though but may have it its ceiling at this price level more attractive to sellers.  Even here though it is below historical lows.  Continue to watch.  Also in terms of my minimum requirements only now need one third PR.  Price slumped and stopped out.  Had I bought at the opening I could have made up to 14%!  I need to give myself the first few hours of the trading day to give myself more opportunities.  For the first time I re-bought a share the same day and made the reduced make-good PR!  Meant that I am £18 up on the day - better than being down!

This is my first loss on the day since 1.10 which is pretty excellent if I say so myself and should not give myself too much cause for alarm at this stage.  Because of a subsequent re-buy and re-sell of Charter I have changed a loss into a neutral :)

Nevertheless I paid the price literally for buying over my set level.  And I had an opportunity to buy under my set level early in the morning which had I taken I would have paid myself for the week.  Live and learn :)
