They don't have their power and water privatised.

Nor does the whole of the UK but there's still extensive private ownership and operation. For other countries you might find Water privatisation of interest to at least avoid claiming that the UK is the only country with a record in that area.

Britain has the highest military spending in Europe

Russia is higher in both amount and GDP. France is a hair lower in amount - 62.5 billion Dollars vs 62.7 billion for the UK.

yet is dependant on American Satellites to use its weapons

Depends on the weapon, ICBMs maybe, but not most others, though they are presumably useful even when not required. GPS, say, is useful even when not essential and for a few weapons it's mandatory. What do you think of Galileo, or would you object on the basis that using it is relying on other countries? But perhaps you dislike military alliances like NATO or bilateral agreements where countries do mutually beneficial things in the military arena?

foreign corporations for its power and water!!!

You seem to think it's bad to have private companies involved in water and power supplies. Maybe you'd prefer to have the required borrowing for investment as part of the national debt instead? Alternative ways to fund investment is one of the advantages of private sector involvement.

or are we just having a go at 6100...a lot is measured by the jobs and growth numbers in the USA...so its wait and see for me.

Had a good go at 6100 today.

I had a good day, very decent gains on XEL, GKP, ABG (bought yesterday)

Nothing wrong with ABG, pays interest while you wait. I cant see the risk between it and Randgold whys it rated so low

CEY storming back up, no reason it cant double. However its done full loop since Dec start (gap), a technical point

and so on. LMI AAL
Sold some BP today but its potentially breaking out of its five year fall. News has to confirm the chart

lvader

I'm waiting to rebuy Randgold, I sold at 6800 so a rebuy at the current price would gave me a decent share increase but I think the pull back hasn't finished. I'm waiting for 5600.

sabretoothtigger

Yea I got 5600 as a good area on my chart, high volume exists there
(in the last year).
Does the French action in Mali help them much. Should I be considering a 20 PE company, they are that good?


CEY has gone +50% in the last week, looks pretty strong but 60p is full loop now. Its been here plenty times in post revolution. Ministry of petrol says they'll sort out the mess


BEM is good I think, rising again today. I'm holding, I think it can double if people want it to, 15p is a stickler.
Obviously no revenues but progress should be enough to rise it up, too cheap still


Wrote down ICAP as an alternative to IGG which has done better recently. PE appears high so need to check more

Also ABG I'll wait to add, its unpopular but an easy buy on a gold boom or general frothy market

YEN is moving wildly, Neptune fund is not as high as it should have been if it were tracking the nikkei

BP is stalling again

Truely a class act


Germany pulls a Chavez, I wouldnt leave my money with the worlds biggest debtor either

I noticed Randgold is a large part of the gold fund I own. Buying a bit more as of 8am tomorrow

http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/funds/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=F0GBR06SUZ

Aiming for 51 on CEY, 44 if lucky. profit takers rush out at some point, I hope they do anyway. LMI rose well recently but more south african strikes for AAL

Barc topped at 300 for now I held it. Same for BP topped but another third up is well possible for both.
IGG I decided not to buy till nearer to 430 but I was wrong, for now

Don't think there is a chance of it going down to 44 imho, if it goes down to 51 i will definately be topping up, missed the drop to 53 today but probably wouldn't have topped up then anyway.

Good luck with the targets.
