Tell him not to invest in any circumstances in the Governments attempt to hive off their failed bailouts. Otherwise you end up buying a pile of !!!!!! twice.

any analysis here to show we couldn't make a killing
(I speak as one who didn't buy Barclays shares at £1.00 because I missed the £0.50 and I knew they wouldn't go up much more in the short term))

I have no idea who Sid is. Am off to have a Google, but is this a generational thing?

Edit after a Google: Ahh, a British Gas ad from 1986. I was just toddling about at that age.

I was in the middle of my mid-life crisis, between children and, as wageslave would say, had no frakkin money to spend on stuff like shares.

The house came good the following year though...Whoops, that's bull-talk!:o

Thing is, the government try to hive off the wrong sorta stuff. Some government services are services, and a capitalist system won't work for them. The postal service is a good example - look at all the services we've lost. & although it is a british thing to do to moan about the railways, we never had the scale of problems that we have now when they were nationalised.
