Would be interested to hear which magazines and bulletin boards people find useful. Am planning, mainly, to invest in funds and maybe just a few shares that are good for dividends
Many thanks

This site is pretty good as is Motley Fool, https://www.fool.co.uk

Read the articles there and they should give you a basic grounding of what to look for and the different options open to you.

Why is it good to buy encore now. I followed it and premier oil since the summer and premier is the top of its range so far as I can tell.
There was a good lull at the start and a bit of a pullback and then they announced further oil and it kept going up, I figure that was the time if any

Has anyone worked out the value of XEL based on the oil they have potentially access to

encore had a 40% price fall the other week that was a nice entry for anyone who saw, not seeing a reasonable point now really especially as I dont know much about them. I did look in July when they hit an old high and fell back, that was the time to buy


Premier oil is related I think, I looked at both because premier was tipped by questor. 1550 or the recent low of 1565 seems a more reasonable price then now which is right at the top of a sequence of highest prices going back to 2006


Ive tried to illustrate why the price could hesitate a bit here and still be very positive. July was a breakout of several years selling, a bit of a pullback would be nice
