UK Stockmarket 2009 and beyond

[Deleted User]

It is a long term buy and a teeny weeny tiddler. An investment company which has among its investments, real estate in India. Sounds good to me and one I am tucking away. 20.75p for the share. Not a get rich quick share

Also he still holds rbs and barclays from march, all this time up and down and irritatingly he has been proved right.
I thought about a buy on barclays at 260 when they fell back but Im often bad at actually grasping the nettle on these things unfortunately.

Rbs I thought would retract further then it did and lloyds may be top of its trading range. Good planning counts for alot with trading I think

Long term they are all probably good holds hence NT's stance I presume. XLF is near its year highs.




Ved is another indian based company, they bought back their own shares and seen them double since..

i have either done a genius move by selling my last few stocks and holding back the cash to see what the stock market does in the future

1. PTEC £2.5K purchase price 2.75 a share (profit £268.93)
2. UU £3K purchase price 4.33 a share (profit 37.72)



i do believe we will see a correction soon (very soon)


or i have jumped off the train before we go up another hill


time will see

its amazing whats going on under the circumstances

(i cant see we out of hot water yet)


good luck folks


has anybody got bonds in their portfolio may i ask?


i have just opened stocks isa and i see you are ltd on buys on shares etc

mark13

No bonds,
Currently running with lloyds and spice.

5.5 % profit on your deals Steve , if its within an ISA even better, and you're ready to pounce next week if there is any weakness.

Hi mark
it was not via ISA i have only just open my ISA on Thursday

ive now got to set my limit orders

(ISA is going to be the magic 3 stocks)

after the song from De La Soul in the late 80s

(3 the magic number)

i have to think what the 3 are now:rolleyes:;)

10 Shares that would have made you a millionaire

http://timesbusiness.typepad.com/money_weblog/2008/07/shares-that-cou.html


2 mining
2 investment companies
5 technology
1 retail


No coincidence imo though the list is manually selected I guess





Carrot on a stick? $SPX still below 2009 start when measured against price of gold



I had a look at that ERE and theres alot to read about but I like it in general. However it is definitely long term, apart from speculators this year and with no dividend it does not seem to have been very rewarding to its shareholders.
Though it was setup 2005 and property is a long game so I guess it could be concluded now is a good time to enter.
19p has alot of price support it looks like but Im not sure how new share issues might invalidate this, I will have to ask my sensei


UNG, usa natural gas is at its lowest for years. It is a commodity, it can be used in power stations, people homes even cars so why would should it become cheaper as oil reaches a new high for the year
If everything else is expensive it seems worth some consideration

MRK is a medical giant with good yield, seems a decent share so why are 8% of their free float sold short. Could be a reasonable play if the company checks out. The bigger picture is obamas health reform I guess

Added both to watchlist anyway

back in Jan 2nd 1991 Next shares was 13.5p a share

mmmm all these years later they are £16.78 per share

yummy if you had them back then till now


in 1991 i was too bizzy doing the running man dance and jumping about:j

Snap, i got the power:p

I wanted to buy Microsoft shares back in 1990 or so but I was told to buy Rolls Royce instead.
I didnt know about any of the rest of them but I knew ms was exponential in their development. Still could have gone bad but it was definitely a good bet and RR was boring tbh
Next I think was about property, now it would be different with everything out of town

Unfortunately having your own money to 'throw away' & the confidence to go with what you think at the the right time counts for alot

If they had a list for shares that looked like they had alot of potential and didnt do anything, it would run to 4 or 5 figures at least :laugh:



Just checked RR, turns out it was a good bet in this decade if not the last. Old industry vs new!

Now I take a look at the figures for MS. Considering they are one of the most sucessful and powerful companies they arent that highly valued. 15 PE and a yield of 2% it says.
If I was a millionaire I'd definitely put a grand in at least, same for Cisco its only 20 PE and also Intel Ive mentioned before. All industry leaders, well capitalised, exporters with unique products and good track records
Also I think in some ways they are above the troubles that might lie ahead imo.
I wouldnt hold an american fund or global even but I'd hold all three of those over the next decade. I know cisco has been tipped but the others look the same to me, cheap potential

even I have to admit that this run is looking increasingly fragile with the FTSE 100 now trading on a price earnings ratio of more than 60, the highest level since 2002. Yes, stock markets are forward-looking but it's still difficult to reconcile

Not sure how they worked that out, I guess it falls with next years earnings potentially

at the end of 2008 the S&P 500 was valued at 60 times actual reported earnings.
