tonygee_3

Historical charts available with selftrade or try MSN money,
Ive held WKP,offers decent div and been around a long time.Ignore bid rumours(gossip to pump up price)
If youre allready holding property(buy to let)I would advise against putting TOO much into property shares WKP,WICH etc
If the property market were to fall 20% more(some suggest 50%!!)youde be up a creek
Plenty more sectors away from property

Divide the Market Cap by the share price.
Market cap is a function of the number of shares in issue multiplied by their price. It won't be precise to the share, but it'll be close.

[URL="feed://www.etfmarketpro.com/etf-charts-feed.xml"]Subscribe[/URL] US Stocks Underperform Rest of World



Despite climbing nearly 50% since the March lows, U.S. stocks are trailing the recovery experienced by international equities. The SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) is up 46% from March 11 compared to a 68% gain for the Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF (VEU) over the same time period.

VEU tracks an index of approximately 2,200 stocks of companies in 47 countries outside the U.S., from both developed and emerging markets around the world. Top holdings include BP, HSBC and Nestle and top country exposure includes Japan, United Kingdom and France.

The lackluster performance by U.S. equities partially reflects the fact that the U.S. economy has been slower to recover from recession than other economies. Japan's recession ended in Q2 as that country's economy saw growth for the first time in 5 quarters. France also returned to growth although the recession worsened in the UK in Q2.

The falling dollar is another factor in relative stock prices. The dollar has declined to 0.68 euro, down from 0.80 in March. As the dollar weakens, securities denominated in foreign currencies become relatively more valuable.

PURE WAFER (PUR.L) up by 150% today? Are they involved in electronics, alot of finance risk with manufacturing wafers if thats what they doseems so

Pure Wafer is in the technology hardware & equipment sector and is currently trading at 6.00p per share. In the last year Pure Wafer's share price has ranged from 2.00p to 12.95p.

Theres good reason why alot of big semiconductor companies have divorced themselves from the actual physical side I think

cal appears underwater so needs to consolidate to prove itself unless you understand why and when it might next spike

Iam just going to look further at stocks Ive previously named .
IGG found their legs again and found some support at previous volume. WPP could still rise past last sept high
I dont see a strong prospect in gkp short term in their chart anyway so I will probably look at placing money abroad in another stock, etc spread the currency risk
CNE would be a better bet for oil money if they can close past 2800 it seems a good prospect and I like their background anyway

Fres has jumped the rails, as a relatively new company its hard to say but probably better to estimate the silver or dollar charts and infer their direction from that


On stockcharts they let you ratio one stock against another. If you place intel against a sterling fund it should give the british cost and value and represent better the investment as a foreigner. Something to keep an eye on if you like any american stocks as it could be cheaper then it appears

Was keeping an eye on National Grid when the price was hovering £5.35- £5-40, just waiting for it to drop to £5-30, but it went the other way and is now over £6.20. As they say that's life, do you think it has further to rise?

NG. looks alright but not sure if it'll rise from here especially. A broker recommended the whole sector as undervalued, how do they compare to uu


I noticed this forum has a thread on TEP with some people discussing shares and some team up with npower apparently. Alot of it might be drivel, share threads often are stupid bull bear bs 'discussion', we just got lucky on this one mostly
