  • SXX, BMR, XEL, RRL, DPL are the top 5 in my 2011 performers list at the moment or at least that's why my crystall ball says.

    GKP is also one to be invested in for 2011 (if you are not already in from 50p!)

    EO. and NPE for safer bets in the North Sea.

    Researching funds holding European shares offering good dividend yields and dividend growth. Many UK equity income funds are amending their investment mandates to allow an increase in European exposure.

    Got an order in today to buy some FWEB shares.

    As well as some of the FTSE well-known names, I have:
    MGCR
    SPT
    VEC
    WSH (which is doing badly :( )
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
  • I'm in SXX for the long term. Very pleased so far!

    LLOY RBS you know the story but is the price right for each. lloyds might be lower risk then anyone would guess

    Eire could seriously impact both RBS and Lloyds in the short term.
    Banks are turning into utilities (without the safe and boring tags though).
  • Some good suggestions especially RRL which i have also been looking at and with drilling imminent its bound to increase from current 6-10p range, whether you hold till results for the big gains will depend how risk adverse you are.

    Iv been mentioning sxx for well over a year and i initially got in at 2p and topped up at 11p, watched it go right down and now back up again but this time its made some solid advancements beefing up its BOD and results of a test are out in Q1. Its amazing seeing a 5/6p average in sxx showing as a 200% profit in my iii account!

    Bought BARC at 340p (wrong entry) but as mentioned once they increase divis it will increase price and make it a good long term hold.

    I'm currently holding BLVN and SLE. Both worth a bit of time spent researching imo, especially SLE who have a very busy 12-18 months drilling ahead.

    As with all AIM and particularly oil companies, these are high risk moves so as always makes sure your research is done and you're prepared to take whatever they throw at you, good or bad!
