Yell! Yell! Yell!
Just took a punt on YELL.L at 25p – target 30p for a 5p profit per share……should be a nice earner if that comes in. Previous low of 20p-23p has been moved again, so suggesting support at this level with scope for a 10% loss if it goes wrong. Charts suggest support at this level and an update on Q3 results show potential upside.
Signed up the other day for You Gov site – apparently you get paid to give your opinion in surveys across a range of topics and when your account reaches £50 they send you a cheque……..£2 so far, each survey is worth between 50p and up to £5 – interesting. Click the link and sign up!
Just filled one out on the government – I hope someone reads it and does something about those crooks in parliament!
Self governing fools the lot of them!
There are four categories of survey : Consumer, Financial, Social and Political.

Wallpaper Concept
Started on the wallpaper concept, kind of retro chic pattern with two styles of colour scheme.
Proposed 46.5cm wide & 260g/m paper stock with UV inks for light fastness – yellow or blue.
FTSE 100 4500 RESISTANCE
Been quite quiet on the shares front – FTSE unable to break 4500 mark and thus sliding sideways……..are we due a big fall?
Also found a new site called investors champion which keeps it simple for newbie investors with reports.
Worth a gander for some up to date info on HAWK and small caps.
HAWK – SP took a big fall from 60p to 27p in less than a month due to cancelling of deal. Upside is oil prices is still rising and also rumour of deal in pipeline. Worth a look for the upside, but do not expect returns quickly.
BARC – small trading margin of 265p – 275p, but worth keeping an eye out for potential 300p breaking point or short from 290p.
Eiffel Pop Art
Just completed a spray, hand painted Eiffel Tower for a house present. 48″ x 48″ on thick canvass and textured with silver underlay.
“Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris. More than 200,000,000 people have visited the tower since its construction in 1889, including 6,719,200 in 2006, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Including the 24 m (79 ft) antenna, the structure is 324 m (1,063 ft) high (since 2000), which is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building.” – en.wikipedia.org, UK version

Due to my passion for design and fancy things I have decided to start up my small business offering these services – makes sense really, so I have purchased a few items and looking to offer the following services to the public:
Large format printing – useful for canvas prints, photography printing and small scale run offs.
Also, custom wallpaper, interior and exterior design for the home.
….more shoes
more shoes jazzed up for the weekend – Kie’s cheapo daps tarted up with some blue and black permanent sharpie markers.
Spend! Spend! Spend!
I have now added a shop area where you can browse my paintings, designs and misc arty items.
Will post news when I have uploaded some of my paintings for sale and also limited prints.
Commissions are undertaken as usual and feel free to contact me if you have an idea in mind or an enquiry for something unique.
Ouch!
Woah! Sunday I managed to complete the Dragon Ride cyclosportive. It is a circular, 190km non competitive road cycle challenge ride over the beautiful hills and valleys of South Wales – around 3000m of climbing, the route takes in the classic Milk Race/Tour of Britain climbs of the Bwlch, Rhigos and Brecon Beacons mountain roads.
Needless to say it was quite hard – 2nd route up Bwlch from Afan was particularly long, arduous and challenging. Needless to say I managed to grin every time for the camera – more of pain than elation! Recommended for next year if you fancy wrecking your knees and taking on one or two Pro’s who use it as a training ride.
