Google lists the FTSE100 as a higher yield then Tesco now. This probably needs checking, all these sites are often inaccurate and I dont have paid information service or anything

6 PE and 5.5% yield would be a buy for sure
but USA says FTSE100 is 9 PE and 2.68 yield not nearly as good

FTSE250 is faster growth anyway
Yes, either with a collapse of the money system or euro fiscal union.
Still money to be made however
Im not sure its that bad if the Euro did collapse. Germany would go back to deutschmarks and the weaker guys would be poorer when importing anything but also richer with less cost of debt.
They'd need to export and get a lot of tourism. Iceland is an example of what might happen. Greece should have left euro for sure, everyone wants a half price holiday there ffs
Anyway stocks are slightly independent of currency so Im not sure its that important. Its just the ego slap of all contracts written in Euros that are now incorrect. Same goes for Dollar collapse or Sterling even
Its a temporary efficiency loss, how we count something up doesnt matter its still worth the same
My emerging currency bond fund is the only unscathed thing I own pretty much. Pays 6% and barely down at all
Surely Libya is now a positive for BP ? I guess its a while before that matters. I definitely should have sold at not only 420 but 406 short term I was wrong to hold but it'll come back before ex-div imo
Sold some VGM on gold peak and bought it back friday. I do think 1700 is a reasonable base and my downside target would be 1584. Upside for this year I think 2000 an ounce is still more then fair
Bought BLT and sold it again but it jumps around so much I didnt really capture the lows and highs. I'll try again next week. They have a hefty dividend in about 10 days
Questor said:
sells two-thirds of its commodities to markets outside Europe and the US. Some 28pc of its product is vacuumed up by China, 14pc by Japan and the same again by other parts of Asia.
In terms of what BHP is actually digging out of the earth, it puts the breakdown at four-tenths iron ore, two-tenths oil and gas, another two copper, one-tenth coke and coal and the last tenth is made up of diamonds and anything else.
Questor says ESSR too risky and Glencore not good even at a lower price, shame
Market went up yesterday apparently not because Ben promised more money but because he didnt rule it out ?
Gulf Keystone looking to sell itself - report
Reuters Monday 29 August 2011 03:33
LONDON (Reuters) - Kurdistan-focussed explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum <GKP.L> is looking to sell itself in a deal that could value it at up to 1.4 billion pounds ($2.3 billion), the Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing sources. The paper said Chief Executive Todd Kozel had told investment banks he will launch a "beauty parade" for advisers next month to help assess the company's strategic options.
RMP Market cap = 48,713,317.00 AUD = 31,975,719.05 GBP
32m GBP
RRL Market cap = 203m GBP
Which is cheaper, RRL has more assets and is more diversified and with active production. RMP is paying 20m towards Somalia drilling costs? thats a hefty bill. Bought more RRL, sold BP
