    Loved this bit:

    They'll be plenty to doubt in future I think. I cant see it now but massive swings in perception of consumer spending are surely on the cards at some point in time.

    We had this in nov and dec, the market had a massive spike up and it seemed the chance had been lost. So March was allready the second chance to invest and if people didnt see it then theres no excuses really. Barclays went from 50p to 110 I think it was, parallel with lloyds at the time and then by march it was 67p again and if people didnt buy it in the face of the gloom it just shows how fickle these things can be.

    I mention it because I think that'll happen again just the same, maybe the prices wont be as nice but its going to need people to buy in the face of the worst perception or market mood.
    Obviously this is not it but theres hidden negatives out there for sure I reckon

    Im as guilty as anyone and I dont know where the top is but I figure some selling is in order

    S&P 500 May Surge 40% in Duplication of Japan: Chart of the Day



    By Alexis Xydias
    Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks are behaving like Japanese equities in the 1990s, meaning the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index may return 40 percent in the next year, according to Bank of America Corp.

    77317970.jpg

    The CHART OF THE DAY shows the Nikkei 225 Stock Average since 1980 and the S&P 500 during the past two decades, when adjusted for currencies. The Nikkei doubled between October 1998 and April 2000 in dollar terms, as the chart illustrates. The S&P 500 has risen 34 percent since March when the Dollar Index, a measure of the dollar against currencies in six major U.S. trading partners, is factored in.



    A “melt-up” rally in the U.S. may be triggered by central bankers keeping interest rates near record lows, an economic recovery or an undervalued dollar, Bank of America strategists wrote in an Aug. 26 report.

    Thats me;) i like Yell me


    so in an ideal world do i

    A. wait and see for the new place shares news
    history shows the price drops quite alot when this happens,
    for me to try and come in to buy as best at its bottom price i can

    B. buy some shares in the next few weeks so i have a small holding with Yell,
    hoping i have the right to buy extra shares as and if and when the new shares come to light
    Oh well we only live once ;-)

    50% increase in the last 10 trading days , obviously they found an abandoned gold mine underneath head office :laugh:

    I dont know this stocks prospects at all tbh, 20% rise just on friday alone, its come back from the verge of collapse I guess


    Now could still be a good time to buy apparently as 40 was an important long term price point for it to push past hence the spike in the 5 day chart

    z8907842.png


    I would rather own WPP, I must be biased to big business I guess.
    Also if its ex-bt, I dont know how much management has changed but to me thats the main thing, are they dynamic and well thought out now or still lumbering on with a nationalised mindset



    350m rights would double their market cap, for that alone I'd wait but Im risk adverse anyhow :eek:

    I have decided to do a limit order for 35p for Yell

    if it gets there great if not oh well life is life




    I have finally done my weekend research

    I will be buying the following stocks on Tuesday to keep me in the market

    FDL
    GEMD
    INCH
    LLOY
    NAD
    NSV
    NTG
    RBS
    SDY
    UU.
    WKP


    its a pick n mix I am sure a few views will be why you doing this 1 and that 1

    that’s the pleasure of the stock market :-)

    my amount is 1.5 to 5 on each company

    I have also got 35 limit orders to buy as well set up

    To be fair the market has to come down a hell of a lot to get most of these set off

    its like my line of defence if we do see the bear in the next few mths

    my gut feeling its going to happen to be honest lets see folks

    but if it does not? I only kick myself in the future if I don’t do this on Tuesday
    Oh well we only live once ;-)

    I disagree on rbs and lloyds but I could easily be wrong in this crazy market and at least your diversified.

    Short term I'd say no but long term sure. They are top of the big risers over 1,3 and 6 months, only Barclays is ahead on 6 and thats more justified by their lehmans pickup.

    Does anyone besides myself use regular investing, banks are prime candidates I reckon because of their volatility and uncertain base worth
