Check the situation every time you buy and dont just buy double it. Regular investment is a good idea, you like a company then buy it every month for a year and you will half the amount of BS in the price hopefully
Buying just once is generally a sucker bet, prices are all over the place
The opposite is more true. Cash is a note with a promise written on it but a share is ownership of company equity.
If they wipe anything now it will be the cash values making the equity worth more not less (in price not value)
Even Chavez pays compensation when he seizes a company, we wont be going that far imo but promises can be broken
cash < equity < bonds - except what do bonds pay, uk cash. Equity can operate in and pay any currency it likes hence gold miners seem a good idea if cash is unstable
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...96/Bank-of-England-launches-75bn-more-QE.html
Bank of England announced they will print another 75bn of new cash to buy up bonds. To me if you produce more of something, its worth less indivually but we will see prices rise for now which is confusing, it helps low interest rates further.
Anyway it explains some this big surge FTSE upwards, I wont complain
infrastructure savings probably makes that a great idea especially if its a good vein. But how much more money do they need to raise before they are self funding
Im 10% down on my gold fund last I looked, pity as I had timed the exit from Tech right on the high.
I bought WEIR recently but I sold it today just to ensure its a profit, I bought too much so the recent plunge was slightly worrying
I will look again after this price surge settles
They are possibly due more exploration results ?
That does seem a fair price, the buyout is 70p a share so the stock being 75 is due to a possible bid war I think
Ive sold EO and I'll buy some PMO later.
Also buying AGK today as its fallen to a more reasonable price
I sold HOIL again, GKP sluggish. Bought VGM again, PE 11 it shows so not that much optimism needed just a more stable gold price
HOC also looked great at 400p and about 10 PE unfortunately I already bought it before the plunge but its coming back like it deserves
Theres no massive reason this market will keep going up.
I think high div shares make a lot of sense in that you gain something whatever the price just so long as you are right about the company prospects being good

there will be a melt down in the financial system and all my investments will be worth nadda!!

]CNR getting 100% share in La India is great. MC is genius

I'm currently holding Encore at an average of 103p.
It's only a small holding so I'm just going to ride the T/O out and take some PMO shares.
Maybe someone else will make a better offer, but at $17-$20 per barrel being offered, I'm not holding out hope.
