    Tesco I have had from 2009. It is boring but it pays a better return then cash. They have a banking license, they may issue mortgages and they have the infrastructure already established to deliver many new products.
    So expanding prospects for them there at not great cost. Also they operate in asia and could expand there also.

    Excellent company growth history, if you think land is too cheap then the supermarkets all own vast stretches of land empty and occupied with their productive use and this alone is a reason for future wealth .

    Warren buffet owns some tesco too :p Why should I pay to sell them, only 1.5% is in TSCO

    Can they cope with higher food prices? otherwise not much downside. Yield is 3 now and was close to 5 when I got it


    The tracker is inverse as a hedge, obviously wish I hadn't bothered now. Looking to close it in next 6 to 12 months


    looking at buying rsa.
    good defensive I guess and nice yield. artemis has their bonds http://www.digitallook.com/cgi-bin/digital/security.cgi?username=&ac=&id=113207

    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

    The FTSE peaked at 6900 in 1999 and is still (just) under 6000. With the current average p/e at 12 and a good dividend yield it hardly looks expensive.

    According to some articles read recently 8000 could be achievable in a couple of years if profits increase as expected.

    Found this prediction earlier. I don't think they quite anticipated the rocky road from 2003 but surprising that we are heading towards that level again

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    8000 could be achievable in a couple of years if sterling keeps reducing in value :).
  • Im considering selling some XEl for RRL soon as its another Dual listed AIM that has good prospects, i cant bring myself to trade in my share dealings acount until i have some good capital to use, i only have DPL in it anyway and thats small.
    I to have been looking at HMV and tbh im staying away, with how the weathers been, there sales will have taken a hit, spendings down this year all over and i think the online attraction from opponents is not helping them.

    Still stuck with BP over 16% down, but slowly improving.

    Bought into AZEM a couple of months ago , doing nicely at the moment up 17%

    Best performing stock over the last couple of years has been SYR up 79% , bought in it when there was a lot a press about infections in hospitals, been a cracking buy.

    Have a few others ticking along nicely but BP is spoiling things.

  • My tip is Robert Wiseman, a well run family company who control 30% of the UK dairy industry. 5.5% yield, and I see the price has dropped today - maybe time to top up?
  • Cadogan Petroleum:

    should see 5/6 fold return in 2011. Fortunate to see them present (for the first time in 18 months) at the Oil barrel conference in early December and they were well received. Built a very proven management team up over the year, should see big rewards from here on in.
  • should see this flyyyyyyyy,you heard it here first.
