4. Adjust buy/sell

Mark introduced "Trailing Orders" which is a way to lock in profit. There are pros and cons to using them. They can prevent losses, and they can maximise profit on a rapidly-rising share. Would have worked VERY well for us on BPB, where we sold too soon.

Decided to try it out on a couple of shares and watch what happens.

Mark will examine some of our current shares and look at daily fluctuations to allow us to set trailing stop prices.

5. Paperwork

6. Homework

Mark N recommended ITIS Holdings, SatNav. New technology based on mobile phone position which feeds into the system and optimises route based on traffic. Linking into the TomTom network, which is growing rapidly. Share price rose then fell. AIM stock, relatively low volume. International tracking of stolen vehicles, vehicle location, mileage. Good growth pattern. No PE at present because not in profit. 2SB. No divi.

Cobbs recommended Trafficmaster, similar to above chart falling, recently rising slightly.

Pablo recommended Air Partner APE. Broker supplying chartered aircraft to banks, Queen etc. Recently special divi issued. 1SB. Pretax profits up 29%, sales up 23%. Graph steadily rising. Divi 3%. PE 17.8.

Mark de H recommended Go Ahead Group, integrated public transport service with 6% of UK market. Recommended on Digital Look Heat Map. Recently won franchise on franchise in Kent (with SNCF) should be profitable. 3SB 2B 4N. expected growth 11% next year. Divi 4%. Graph steadily rising. PE 11.1.

Mark de H recommended Stonemartin, corporate support services. Buy buildings and rent them out to companies. Big new building in Bristol.

7. Voting

We have £3000 to spend. Couldn't decide whether to buy one or two shares so Cobbs and Mark did paper scissors stone. Cobbs won.

ITIS won first vote, £2000. High/low sell +/-20%

Go Ahead won second vote £1000. High/low sell +/-20%

Mark will buy these Tues.

8. AOB

9. Next Meeting

24th January 2005, Air Balloon pub.
