    My new latest share bought is now Deckers Outdoor (most of income comes from UGG boots).

    Probably more of a growth stock than I'm used to, share price halved recently due to a profit warning due to soaring material costs, I don't see it harming them long term and I think there's plenty of scope for further growth in sales.

    Suppose the downside risk is Uggs become a fashion faux pas but I think theres a good chance they'll stay popular because theyre so comfortable.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    3D Systems Corp a couple of weeks ago NYSE:DDD up around 10% today because it's closest competitor NASDAQ:SSYS merged with a privately held company this morning. SSYS is up over 20%, so although I'm happy with DDD, I'm a bit jealous.

    Wanted some exposure to 3D printing because I think (hope) it has a big future.

    Last one was Sainsbury. I bought when the whole sector took a hit after Tesco's results announcement as I didn't have a supermarket in my portfolio. I peferred Sainsbury for PE ratio and yield, and also think they have a better customer proposition. i.e. I prefer shopping there to Tesco :p

    It was between them and Morrisons....
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

    I had a good run on DECK last year - sold at about 22% gain if i remember right. I might have another bite if they have had a kick recently - good company, good management - china is a massive market-to-be for UGGS and they aren't going away anytime soon.

    That's what I hope. Lets hope for some cold dry winters in China :D

    Just topping up on VOD at the moment. Hold VOD, TSCO & GSK.

    Keeping a eye on BP., AZN, BLND, SSE, UU., SBRY, BA. and NG. Who knows all pretty decent divi's.

    VOD's got a few things going on at the moment so this months bonus will most likey end up in there before the ex-divi in June
