To circumvent this inconvenience, start R with key –internet2 , i.e. Rgui.exe –internet2

Ride on turbulence.
After Goldman downgraded GoPro I thought that it was a good opportunity to buy. And started buying in small tranches.
Finally made infinitesimal Profit, now waiting for a opportunity to re-enter.

Forgot to report on 24.02.2017 that I sold the stock with 6.3% profit. In time, since it dropped today by to $8.00.
And again I bought very close the minimum! -

Vasily Nekrasov started the topic COCOA -43% within a year, breaking 5Y minimum in the forum Bonds, FX, Commodities, Derivatives, etc 9 years, 9 months ago
Keep watching it, it may be a good opportunity! So far it seems to be an oversupply but a drought or a hurricane will blow up the prices! I bought the first tranche (DE000ETC0597) and I am going to add, however, after the downtrend bends.

It has not reached $8.5 yet but a drop today was significant. I bought a little bit since there may be a correction but I will patiently wait until it calms down before I add.

GoPro is -12% down after the Q4-report was published!
And I think it will reach $8.5 again, where I am going to put my buy order. -
Vasily Nekrasov replied to the topic Hugo Boss and Tom Tailor jumped +5%. Jumps Gerry Weber next? in the forum European (in particular German) Stocks 9 years, 9 months ago
Well, Gerry Weber has indeed moved by 5% … but it was a drop, not a jump 🙁
However, the annual report is actually OK that’s why I added the position. And this was right, the stock went up after that.
Since I want to keep my exposure in GB small, I halved the position but I still expect a 5% – 10% growth in midterm. -

RTL is in “no grow” mode, so sold with minimal profit.

GoPro reached today $9.5, so I have sold it.
Of course it might go even higher but recently it has rather fluctuated between $8.5 and 9.5 and since I expect a general market correction, I took profit.If it goes down, I will re-enter again, I still expect M&A / takeover.

Hugo Boss (DE000A1PHFF7) and Tom Tailor (DE000A0STST2) jumped +5%. Will Gerry Weber(DE0003304101) jump next? I expect it will and bought it!
Last year something like this did work! -

I bought RTL again. The market grew in December 2016 as crazy but RTL did not. I think it has a potential to catch up.
