OK, so the title is a bit misleading. No I don’t collect stamps, nor do I have an interest in doing so and I don’t see myself as a dude. However this morning I bought shares in Stanley Gibbons. For me the logic was simple; fundamentally this company is very strong with no debt, lots of cash, strong brand and solid earning per share growth expectations. Couple this with a heavy sell off and a recent change in the price trend, makes it very attractive.

Talking about ‘dude type activities’ I’m now doing the whole ‘web 2.0 squared’ thing and posting my trades on twitter. You can follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/timetotrade

Weir, pressure, support.. it sounds like a bad cryptic clue on an crossword.  Yes I’m actually talking about Weir plc not some sort of “small overflow-type dam commonly used to raise the level of a river or stream”.

I like Weir (of course I don’t recommend them as that would really annoy the folks at the FSA).  Why do I like them, well ask yourself what common factor links investments that you like. Yes, that’s right, it makes you money; and Weir has done a great job of doing that for me.

Today Weir pulled back to test support, which normally means it is time to buy; click here to see the research on Weir in The River. Despite a beautiful 21% roll last month after buying at support and selling at resistance, this time around I’m not so sure.  The last time it was at support the daily interval stochastic looked like it was oversold and changing trend.

This time around the daily indicators are trending down and look like they have more left in the tank.  Will Weir be able to withstand the downward pressure and hold support?  Who knows, but right now I’m not prepared to put my money on the line to find out.  If it breaks support, it could be worth a closer look at 300 pence.  For now it is time to sit back and let Weir show its hand.

There has been a lot of news about Domino’s reporting good results as people order in pizza rather than dining out.  Apparently they also sponsored some popular tv show, but as I don’t have a tv and that makes research in this area a bit tricky.  Regarding the tv, you should see the reaction on some people’s face when they come to visit only to discover that I don’t have a tv; imagine having to spend the weekend talking to my wife and me. Not to be phased by this, one guy has resorted to bring a portable tv.

Back to pizzas, because I like pizzas; after carrying out research on Domino’s it looks like it is fundamentally ok, I’m not saying good, just ok, however possibly somewhat overvalued: click here to view the full research

If the price of Domino’s falls into the 100p to 150p range it could be worth a closer look.  For now it is probably best investing in their “Honolulu Hawaiian”, “Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch”, Philly Cheese Steak”, “Pacific Veggie”, “Buffalo Chicken” or “Memphis BBQ Chicken” pizzas.
