I am thinking that Shell is still looking fairly resilient with a few upgrades and price forecasts of around £26.00. I am keeping a close eye on it though.

Yes wouldn't disagree with you on that mate, I still like Shell, good dividend, in a good sector, it's approaching its all time high and more importantly up quite a lot since I bought so I needed to take some off the table

I have just had a look at the shares paying out over 4.5% yield and their ability to continue (cover), multiply one figure by the other and I get this list of Ftse 100 shares.

1) Aviva 15.09
2) Astra Zen 13.56
3) BAE 12.55
4) Shell 11.08
5) Imperial 10.83
6) Glaxo 10.13
7) RSA 9.63
8) M&S 9.61
9) Resolution 9.08
10)National Grid 9.02

On the look of that list Aviva certainly looks like a top buy, especially considering it doesn't have the increasing R&D/Exploration spend of the likes of Shell and Astra Zeneca. I bought those not so long ago at around £2 and sold at £3, I should have kept hold

SteveJ, for the compiled list and calculations do you mean current dividend yield x current/or forecast dividend cover and if so what data source are you using? Surprised SSE does not pop up in the list for example.

Using TD Waterhouse, I can only check it today (the figures have changed slightly) and SSE is showing 1.38 x 6.57 = 9.07, so would now sneak in number at 10.

well i will update all, im not having sucha good time

i got stopoped out of CEY centamin at 150 - 15%
AFR Afren stopped out at 141 but i think something is in the pipeline as they have just taken on a 450m bond it looks like, but for me the trade had gone wrong sheesh - 15%

only share doing it for me at the moment is Petroneft PTR +3%

and xcite is currently - 9% due to me trying to trade it like a !!!!!! !

but on a good news note i sold out of JPM africa and JPM nat resources crystalising a 25% and 17% gain

StevieJ

That stock market sure is sticky, like a weeble it wobbles but it won't go down

at last time to buy CAD, looked like the overhang got cleared today.

Thats a very nice gain of nearly a quarter. Some dude declares 7% ownership is the trigger I guess

I hate stoplosses. I try to sell enough early and in profit to not need to do that. In theory CEY could go to zero but I dont think it will, they (whoever wins) needs that team to develop it into a proper asset still I think
Its bounced nice but Im not sure it'll make it back to the top so easy. Any bounce contains short term speculators who sell and weaken the share later
My downside target on negative news was around 95 to 105, there lies big volume. I did see the recent bottom but did not sell enough at the top to buy at that bottom

Afren and Centamin are both tipped by Questor. For once he doesnt back away from the risk

1) Aviva 15.09
2) Astra Zen 13.56
3) BAE 12.55
4) Shell 11.08
5) Imperial 10.83
6) Glaxo 10.13
7) RSA 9.63
8) M&S 9.61
9) Resolution 9.08
10)National Grid 9.02

Not bad to have a short list but I'd judge them mostly on opinion. If it was just numbers, we'd be replaced by computers (which is true of flash trading partly)

Which has expanding prospects in their business and customers.

BAE is the only one I own right now and its pretty beat up but in theory are well capitalised and I do think they will suceed in exporting. Otherwise it resembles Tesco to me except with guns :laugh:

Rolls Royce is another exporter I should have got at the same time, not sure if they near to getting on that list. I think the price rose too much now. Anyhow they make power generators and lots of things needed

Shell has entered orbit, dam. Bought back a bit of BP today

Glaxo I said before something seems a bit off. I dont know that for sure of course.
The chart for Astra looks great with a very quick look, dont know anything about them or medicines or development lines they have, etc

Thought Resolution was probably cheap for a while. Bit of a mystery but the head guy seems to be an innovator so a very unusual ft100 company

Worth looking at European blue chip shares as well. There are plenty of quality companies offering good secure yields.

National Grid, I would rate as a sell currently.
