I’ve been working on some new code that delivers product placements from service providers directly onto my site and here it is. The great thing about this is that the service offerings are changing all the time keeping it fresh and new.
I recently purchased some stock in Pure Circle and thought I’d share some news.
PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world’s leading producer of high purity stevia products, is pleased to announce that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a No Objection letter for the use of PureCircle’s SG95 product as a Food and Beverage ingredient in the USA. This will enable PureCircle to offer a wider and more flexible array of stevia solutions, helping to further accelerate stevia adoption in the important USA market.
PureCircle’s high purity SG95 product is a further example of the company’s leadership in innovation. Along with seven previously approved steviol glycosides, SG95 includes two new steviol gylcosides, Rebaudioside D and Rebaudioside F, both of which are receiving GRAS No Objection for the first time. The new high purity sweetener delivers great taste and consistency as well as pricing well below sugar. The product is ideally suited for applications formulated with both sugar and SG95 to achieve a low cost solution to partial sugar and calorie reduction and provide further incentive to application development. Together with PureCircle’s successful high purity Reb A 97, SG95 will provide customers with an expanded range of options to improve products across their portfolios. With GRAS affirmation, PureCircle is prepared for immediate commercialisation of SG95.
Magomet Malsagov, CEO and Managing Director of PureCircle, said: “The launch of SG95 is a very exciting development for PureCircle in the Un
Financial review
It’s good to see a company promote itself and make statements for future development, especially during these lean times when so many businesses have gone to the wall or are struggling to survive. I recently invested in Evolution Group as you’ll know from a previous blog so it was good to find this press release from Evolution Group declaring their position for the future.
In summary:
- It aims to grow revenue and profit further in 2010, despite continuing market uncertainty.
- It has swung back to a full-year pretax profit on rising assets under management and a much better year for its investment banking arm.
- The company’s initial public offering pipeline was “fairly reasonable” and it “absolutely” expects to grow assets under management in 2010.
- It would continue to hire this year to support growth.
- It would also look at opportunities to bolster assets by bringing in new teams that could bring between GBP1 billion to GBP2 billion of assets with them.
So a positive outlook indeed – so jump on board now whilst the price is right.

Quick note to let you know I’ve sold my Avocet Mining shares. A tough decision to make because I still think there is more growth to see yet BUT I had my eye on some other stock and needed to get in quick. More about that one in a future posting.
So lets do a quick recap on how I’ve performed with my trade in Avocet Mining.
Purchased shares at £0.9974 and sold them 90 days later for £1.2175. Now where can you get that growth on the high street banking circuit?
Job done!
A recent news article further emphaisising my choice as a good one to back this company.
LONDON (Dow Jones)–Avocet Mining PLC (AVM.LN) Friday announces the first shipment of gold from its Inata mine in Burkina Faso. MAIN FACTS: -Inata poured first gold on Dec. 20, 2009 and this week exported 11,000 ounces of gold to Rand Refinery’s facility in South Africa. -The Company’s Burkina subsidiary, Societe des Mines de Belahouro, which owns Inata, signed a refining contract with Rand Refinery in February. -Proceeds from the sale of gold of $12 million are expected to be received next week. -The Inata mine is expected to reach a steady state production rate of over 10,000 ounces per month by July. -During the commissioning period to date, the plant recovery and gold produced have been ahead of schedule. -By Iain Packham, Dow Jones Newswires; +44-20-7842-9269; iain.packham@dowjones.com
Jump in quick and buy this stock before the price rockets further.
When the financial markets are in turmoil around the world people fall back to what they see as a strong and safe position. They withdraw from the market and sink their cash into Gold or Silver.
Well this sounds a good option at first glance but is it really the best option to take?
When you buy gold or silver you pay the market price and you’re then the proud owner of your physical lump of metal. But how do you make money from it? The only way is to wait for the market to rise and then sell it on. There is no dividend payout every year so that’s your only option. when you come to sell you also run into the problem of where to sell your lump. Most gold and silver traders offer only a percentage of the current market value so the growth has to be significant if you;re going to see a meaningful return.
But there is another way of investing in Gold and Silver and that is buying stocks in a mining company. OK so you have to do your homework on the right company but once you’ve done that you’re working the metal market in a more efficient and effective way. As metal prices rise the mining company’s stock price rises, after all every rise in product price is a direct increase in mining profits.
Take Avocet Mining for example, a great company who is pulling gold out of the ground at a cost of about $600 per oz. They’re selling this at $900 per oz currently, a huge return on their investment. As the gold price increase their margin increases. Do some calculations on gold price rises and you’ll soon see just how lucrative this little investment can be.
So my advice is to buy into Avocet Mining, sit back, wait for the price of gold to rise further and watch your investment soar… oh and you’ll get your dividends along the way too.

It all sounds pretty simple so I thought I’d sign up and give it a go.
True to their word this took a matter of minutes to register my domains, set up my banner ads (AdvertsieSpacedo all the work) and then place those ads on my pages. That’s all there is to it, I just now sit back and wait for the buyers of ad space to come knocking at my door. Well when I say my door I don’t actually have to do any more work to start advertising their products. AdvertiseSpace does it all for me. All I need to worry about is what I’ll spend the money on. Now that cant be bad can it?
Thought I’d update you on my latest stock acquisition so you too can jump aboard and make some cash to beat the bank. This time I’ve purchased some stock in Avocet Mining Plc. (AVM.ISE) I made my purchase at £0.9974 per share and I’m expecting good things over the next few months. Get in now and make some easy money. Bail out target for me is around £1.45 but I’ll keep an eye on the trends and related news stories in case I need to change this.
and for those who are interested in what this company does read on…
Avocet Mining Plc is involved in the exploration, extraction and production of gold and tungsten.
The Group was listed on the London Stock Exchange in April 1996, having been previously listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange since 1986 under the name Avocet Ventures Inc. Avocet is a gold mining company operating in Indonesia and Malaysia and a focus on expansion in South East Asia. It has two operating gold mines a new mine in the making and a number of exploration projects.
That’s all from me for now….
My portfolio of shares has taken a tumble over recent weeks.
Greene King shares have been on a slide for a while now, I thought I had picked the pit of despair but apparently not they just kept on falling. The good news though is that signs of improvement are visible with the trend moving skywards once more. I’m investing every week in this company through my purchase of their IPA. Perhaps this is why the turn around has started.
Tenon Group shares have dipped but I’m sure they’re on the way back to the top so I’m hanging in there whilst the market sorts itself out and realises just what a good deal this company is at the moment.
My other stuff are remaining pretty stable so not much to say specifically. I’m still confident of a reasonable return but this poor performance over the past few weeks has meant I have not been able to take profit and reinvest in some of my target areas which frustrates me.
Guess I’ll just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.
I knew my investment in Greene King would be well worth my while. Apart from drinking their beers I now see my shares on the move in the right direction, still plenty to go but they are on their way.
In the mean time to keep me happy they have just announced a dividend payout of £0.15 per share so another nice little earner in my journey into beating the system, playing the stock market, doing it myself rather than pay others to under-perform – what ever… it’s always fun as a mate of mine tells me.
onto other share news as today has been a busy time for me…
Decided to sell my Tesco shares today. My buy price was £3.45 and I’ve punted them back onto the market at £3.93 so a good growth and all this achieved in 135 days. didnt make the 15% profit I was after when taking all costs into account, more like 10% but the growth is still strong and pays much more than any bank can offer me. A key reason for shifting this stock was the desire to buy into another company. I could have sold some of my others but thought Tesco would be the best option. So Tesco it was.
The stock I purchased to replace my Tesco shares was in a company called Tenon (TNO). Watch this space for news on this company as I monitor my investments.
