    Results not as good as hoped it would seem. Sold today at 20p. Still a c.70% gain in a few weeks. Why cant they all be this easy?

    1200 United Utilities today when they dropped to £6.76, but maybe I am trying to catch a falling knife :o
    Least they are all commission free from Norwich and Peterborough Share Dealing today. :)
    I'll blame Questor if they tank ;): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/questor/9694093/Questor-share-tip.html

    It still looks a tad expensive to me, I'd like to see it drop to around 630-640.

    I'm not very confident about it, just trying to spread my eggs around a lot of baskets :o
    Have you seen anything that looks cheap?

    I've got about 8% split equally between big 3 supermarkets and Shell
    The Supermarkets have risen since I read a few weeks ago that Hedge Funds were shorting them - although it didn't say at what price they bought.
    I looked at Vodaphone a few weeks ago, but even now its dropped to £1.55,
    £77bn seems a lot of money for a loss making telecoms company with no cable network :o

    What do you reckon of AAZ latest report. I thought 50k ounces not that great but then when the company is only 50m big, that is very cheap? especially if they can expand without great costs

    Last share I bought was CEY. Not as cheap as it was but cheap if allowed to prosper, circa 250k ounces and I think its 615m market cap

    My AGL from last July suddenly came good last week so I sold them and used the proceeds to top up my BEM holding.
  • Yea I like BEM, holding them despite a nice profit already. I dont see how its valued properly, fear of environmental sanction but I think not, the area has history of mining ?

    Just looking at ABG it seems really poor value with 626k ounces but a massive 1.4bn mcap
    POG on the other hand does 750k ounces with only 752m mcap plus they mine iron ore on top, so I guess I have to sell ABG if anything.

    I think Im missing out the debt in the background, POG shot up now as they receive cash injection for a sale and have debts but ABG might be free and clear, not sure
