Highlights from my portfolio:

Andor Technology (LON:AND) got sold back in August as it started to fall. Profit taking on my part. I watched it rise a bit and then bought it back yesterday. Phew!

Diamondcorp Plc (LON:DCP) made me 7% in two days (banked). Just a bit of fun. The market-makers only offer 5,000 shares at the prevailing price and to make money one has to put in far more than, er, £550. This means that it's quite difficult to get in and out. I saw the bid drop to 1 market maker at 11.25 and knew that at best I'd be lucky to get 11. And that's what I got. I had to call the broker to get it.

Davis Service Group (LON:DVSG) has hit some resistance on the way up but my target from here is 440. There's an investor day in early November and I assume they have something good to say. The euro is also going the right way for them. Debt and pension deficits aren't so good but the yield is tempting. Debt interest is covered nearlly 4x and Dividend 1.6x. It's a recovery stock. I hold for yield.

Firestone Diamonds (LON:FDI) seems to have got stuck and I got bored and dumped it for just over break-even

£GCL continues upwards, the price of Uranium is presumably leading it up.

Central China Goldfields (LON:GGG) - bought a few today following Director buys last week. Good gold and production target of 2013. Looks interesting and fully funded to the end of feasibility but the risk is that they then have to raise the money for the mine.

Lees Foods Plc (LON:LEE) lept up a few p, no idea why but I'm tempted to say "sweet"!

Ram Investment Group (LON:RAM) ticked up but we've been here before so I'm not excited.
