XEL (Got in at 89p, sold at around 180 to bed&isa them and now presently hovering around £4).

What a large (compared to mine) but varied porfolio. I bet you have to stay busy monitoring them, or are you more of a build and wait (patience is the key).Personal Responsibility - Sad but True

For me, the following investment trusts, rest is Unit trusts in ISAs.
TMPL, FSV, SJG, ABD, GPE, TREG, BRLARemember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
I've been watching HMV with interest, their current price is very attractive, but the underlying business isn't robust enough for me to buy, their debt is too high for my risk thresholds.
But for anyone thats a risk taker, HMV dont realy have any competition anymore, and at the current price the dividend presents a very large yeild compared to the rest of the market. I think they slashed their dividends this year, but in a couple of years if they go back to the historical norm, you're looking at a 25% yield buying at this price!
Not too shabby!
Plus if the company doesnt go bankrupt I have absolutely no doubt the share price will double or more in the future.Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.0 -
I havn't got too many individual stocks at the momemnt. I have;
LMI - South African PMG miner
FRES - Mexican Silver & gold miner
Cisco - Dead cheap at the moment, owns the corporate networking market and is moving into the consumer domain.
AMD - Bit of a punt, they have a good product range moving into 2011 and could well be a takeover candidate.0 -
I like INTC and MSFT even Ivader. tons of money and good yield and growth possibleHMV dont realy have any competition anymore
Why would that occur, maybe the market itself is declining. Online retailer and mail orders are higher then ever. Just in general this appears to be the case as retailing changes to different ways of operating, JIT etc
Any of these share picks above I think its all about spotting a market expanding in its prospects. For HMV this would be online, Im not sure if they can adapt with those only really deal in this market such as amazontheir debt is too high for my risk thresholds
Yell is another one, bad debts to say the least apparently
I' dont own all those Cloud and mostly just small amounts. will post this years performers in a min (of what I have still)0 -
surely you gotta look at ditching the FTSE tracker soon, all time high and that !!! i woudl seriously give it some thought at reducing your exposure
other than that with all due respect how on earth do you keep on top of them all, im sure you are overlapping in exposure
why Tesco ??? it barely moves it doesnt pay large dividends???
too add I would look at shorting HMV i woudl expect a disappointing xmas trading statement from them its tough for them, look at virigin and what happended to them0 -
Tescos is quite a good difensive stock, it tends to do better when others are not.0
