    Greggs is a fair indicator of the retrenchement of consumer spend. Market is therefore right to reprice shares across the board. As future growth is likely to be subdued for some time.

    But most Ftse100 companies are not dependent on the home market.

    Read a brief review, Canada more important to the group profits. I said years back I thought that was going to be a good foreign asset for SL to have. Still a very surprising rise in the midst of most finance shares failing badly


    USA market sold off into the close, Bad FTSE to continue.
    Good that its not ex div yet (18th Aug 2010 so you must be right) it might get so stormy the price stays as cheap as it has been. Buying after good results at a similar price to before it was known, I have seen this happen. I would have to buy if SL gets dragged back down

    Can one of the regulars please start a '2012 and beyond'.

    Sounds like some freaky sci-fi programme from the 1950's...:)
    Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
    It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
    Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

    Expanding too fast? There are six in my town, only two 2 years ago. There are only so many sausage rolls the incapacity benefit scroungers can eat.

    That's why I nicknamed this thread the 'Buzz Lightyear Thread'

    Anyway, I was the first poster here.
    As first amongst equals I got rights. (Or is that riots?)

    Start a new thread.

    Recent news suggests we are entering a new era.

    I'm not a regular contributor to this thread, so it seems daft for me to start an updated version.
    But it does cover a popular area for discussion, and unlike many other threads the behaviour is good.
    It just needs updating that's all.

    Many/Most stocks will take years to regain their highs, and some may never get there (in real terms)

    Maybe we should finish with a summary of memorable quotes :)
