bought them already at 434 last week or the one before
Yes I bought at £4.38, sold Aviva £2.90 and L&G £50.5 on Friday for nice profits and divi to come, so quite happy.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

[ramp]Yes! Buy that, you'll get an ace yield (8%ish), good potential for capital growth etc etc. [/ramp]
I already bought Shell £13.46 , so now added BP.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

You are just incapable of having a sensible conversation without name calling.

Fortunately I am not a lunatic bear. just a middle of the road one. Here's my opinion on stocks. I really really want them to go up. They have done OK in the last few weeks. But my feeling / instinct / whatever is that this was a relief / spare cash rally based on the fact the world hasn't ended. My worry is that the bear market has a lot further to go.
People claim the stock market looks six months out, when a lot of the time it panic reacts to the latest headline. I think people are gettin bored of the recession and think "surely it must be over by now", hence the optimism.
But looking at unemployment, manufacturing and the massive debts that need to be cleared - I don't see a sustainable recovery just at the moment. Sorry.
And I'm not just saying that because I wish I'd bought Barclays at 50p.0 -

There is a distinction between the markets and rising and falling as a whole and picking off shares for the longer term. Best plan is to identify good solid cash generative businesses who aren't highly leveraged or who have final pension scheme liabilities. Then drip feed money into the market.
A lot of the sharp movements in the past 8 months have been due to investors offloading large holdings held, to raise cash to meet margin calls and reduce lending exposure.0 -
