Made in Southampton Posted 21 February, 2011 Share Posted 21 February, 2011 Did you see the movement on Sareum Holdings (SAR) the other week? I tried to buy in at about 1.2 from a move from about 0.5 I think but my trading account did not support the option. Gutted at the time as it went up about 350 - 400% in on day. It has retraced substancially though so the news was obviously over done. Its definately on my watch list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 24 February, 2011 Share Posted 24 February, 2011 Getting bored with my shares doing ****-all so just bought just over 800, this time in HMV, and they've gone up .75 in less than an hour.

dune Posted 2 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 March, 2011 (edited) News yesterday, I had to laugh at dune. I haven't held shares in them for ages gobby. Have a look at Verbals comments re ITV (is he a relation of yours?) and then see what happens with them today when the market opens. My strategy is high risk so obviously some of my picks will go belly up. Sneering no marks like you revelling in the ones that do go pear shaped is of no concern to me.

Verbal Posted 2 March, 2011 Share Posted 2 March, 2011 I'd strongly advise you, dune, to keep your 'shares' in ITV (I have a sneaking suspicion you're playing with Monopoly money). Today's profits announcement was good; the prognosis is not. But ITV1's share of viewing dropped in 2010 despite the autumn boost and ITV gave a cautious outlook for the year ahead as it fears the impact of tough comparatives and an uncertain wider economy. (The Guardian) As I told you earlier, part of my pension is in ITV, and so I depend on the company scooping up every financial ingenue it can to invest. So keep it up! And thanks!

(if you actually parted with any money). I don't need or want advise from the likes of you. ITV's only achileles heel is their over reliance on advertising revenue which makes them vulnerable during a slowdown. That said ITV digital was what caused the problems and that is now in the past and you would expect they'd have learnt some valuabl lessons. The regulators have recently allowed extended advertisement breaks and product placement in programmes is set to increase and the quality of ITV programmes is improving - ITN news is far superior to the leftwing biased BBC news, Downton Abbey has been a major sucess pulling in the crowds and then you've got crap like X factor that people like you seem to enjoy. Thanks for the advice Verbal, but you're talking cr4p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS1980 Posted 2 March, 2011 Share Posted 2 March, 2011 Always fancied a punt at shares. Only have £5K available, is it worth it with only this amount? Are there such things as safe bets? What industries are good to invest in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jampot Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 5k is a good starting amount, open a trding isa. Sadly no safe bets. Go to w h smiths and get a copy of shares mag.

thefunkygibbons Posted 3 March, 2011 Share Posted 3 March, 2011 £5k is a moderate amount, but you don't want to be chopping and changing as you will lose loads in dealing fees For that amount, I would be looking to find 8-10 solid shares with good dividend paying record and all within the top 250 Personal favourites in that group right now include Tesco, Vodafone, Aviva and Balfour Beatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made in Southampton Posted 28 April, 2011 Share Posted 28 April, 2011 Tip - FTO fortune oil. A lot of you will know about this but thought I'd bring this up as it's on a run at the moment. I bought in at an average of 6p today it closed at 12.5p up 21%. the company have taken on new executives to the board with a view to expanding the investment in the company to progress future growth. This has been received very well in the markets and the boards view us that it should be a £1 billion company which rates it at approximate 76p. Still lots of upside for the sp. Announced their earnings today and have announced that they will start to pay a dividend. I've not read the RNS yet but still good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerox Posted 26 September, 2011 Share Posted 26 September, 2011 i think you are better off in the pub than in shares right now, my portfollio is down so i will just stick it out for the long term, which may turn out to be very long term considering the greek default, possible breakup of the euro, recapitalisation/nationalisation of europe's banks with money from every big nation inc china/usa etc.....i think we are seeing a process that will be game changing of historical importance and could change the monetry system we use...i don't think the markets give a toss about the bailouts, they will do whatever they need to do to make money regardless of the consquences..will have to wait untill greece has gone down the loo (will take a few flushes lol) then i will take a punt on some shares in the banks as they will come back good in time.....thoughts anybody???

dune Posted 27 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 27 September, 2011 (edited) Course i'm down atm, but last week diverted heavily into financials as they'll come back eventually and already there is talk of funds being gathered from states to cover banks that will be affected when greece defaults. If it's good enough for warren buffett (bank of america) then it's good enough for me. Word has it the ftse will bounce back 100 plus on opening this morning so hopefully we'll see some confidence returning this week on the news about banks being supported re greece.
