WKP is getting loads of buys. Looks good. In addition to this the FTSE 100 has reacted positively the European news=> LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - European shares turned positive in afternoon trading on Friday after data showed U.S. employers cut a far fewer-than-expected 11,000 jobs in November, the smallest decline since the start of the recession in December 2007.

December 2nd, 2009 Warren Buffett stunned the market back in September 2008 when he announced that he was investing $250 million in a Chinese electric car company. It was stunning because Buffett seemed to violate one of his own rules of investing: Invest in companies you understand. He admitted that he doesn't know a thing about electric cars. So why did he invest? Because he knows that electric cars are a guaranteed winner. http://www.wealthdaily.com/aqx_p/17254?gclid=CISjrdv8t54CFR9o4wodrxN7fw Now, we're not recommending GM, Nissan, or any other automobile stock that's developing electric cars. . . Instead, we're bullish on the commodity that is vital to the battery technology that'll be used in electric cars: lithium.

Overall the mining Sector is just waiting for the Chinese production to pick up. China demands a lions share of world Hard Commodities. Now is the time to buy into safe companies in anticipation of the recovery of the worlds big economies. Which brings me to Landore Resources in Canada.... LND looks very attractive from a safety point of view. Its diversified portfolio of iron, nickel, gold, Lithium and other exploration assets, its experienced board, and its strong shareholder base. LND is near to production. Landore Resources is focussed exclusively on Canada. (very safe location with plenty of technology backing) The combination of political stability, infrastructure, favourable geology and a strong mining tradition make it an attractive place to do business; similar considerations attract oil and gas companies to North America. Landore’s operations are mostly located where potential production would be relatively straightforward to achieve from a climatic view point; many of the company’s peers worldwide do not enjoy such advantages. http://www.landore.com/docs/RR-30Sep2009-ProactiveInvestorsMagazine.pdf LND web site -> http://www.landore.com/research-reports.htm What really attracted my attention to this company was their access to sizable volume of Litium. Lithium is required for batteries and it difficult to extract without the right technology. Canada has the technology and capabilties.

propoerty in London is going to be in big demand or perhaps already is for the commercial sector...... I agree this is a buy and hold

Reits and commercial property funds are competing for the same assets, and it is these property assets that are rising in value.

and thus have a knock on effect boosting demand for commercial property in london. Quote: "The Nationwide consumer confidence index showed on Wednesday that consumer morale hit its highest level in the last two months since April 2008. But that survey was taken before the third-quarter growth data. 'I think we've been through the worst of the downturn,' Marks & Spencer (M&S) Chairman Stuart Rose told reporters..........."

LND- To place 7.8 million new shares at price of 14 pence per share to raise 1.1 million pounds before expenses. * Says proceeds from the placing will be used to finance working capital and exploration expenditure. Among others this money is likely to find their Lithium exploration activities of which they have already confirmed 2.297 million tonnes of lithium.

Reading the October publication of Galvin Research & Trading: http://www.galvan.co.uk/offers/Galvan-MIJ1009.pdf (In the UK Economy section) "the expectation in the financial press that much of the banking bonus money for 2009 will go into the Central London property market, this is at least one area of the economy that appears to be set fair." suggests fat cat bonus money is being placed back into London property. London is prime market for international buyers with UK economy still in recession, the devalued £, and lower property prices. The property market in London is looking attractive especially as the £ has yet to turned the corner. BBC news today is talking of the USA moving out of recession or rather it s economy is growing again. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8331497.stm The Chinese economy delivered a set of numbers totally at odds with the general global trend While most leading economies around the world were concerned over a potential doubledigit recession threat, the Chinese economy delivered a set of numbers totally at odds with the general global trend. Q3 economic growth was 8.9% up on the year before, with the target for the year still at 8%. A useful Quote posted today by Galvin Research “The key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them” Do not get caught up in panic selling. This is important. Hang in there.

today. As the links in previous posts point out -now could be the time to get back into commercial property. It is at extreme lows and it is speculated that we are on the verge of a upward economic movement. Brits love their property and London office space is sure to climb first.

500,000 Electric Cars Would Take 10% of World Lithium. http://solveclimate.com/blog/20090902/500-000-electric-cars-would-take-10-world-lithium-only Warren buffet invests in electric car company http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/13/technology/gunther_electric.fortune/ China's electric car revolution- China is already the second-largest auto market in the world. It is expected to exceed the United States to become the largest auto market by 2030. While this astounding growth is great news for the auto industry, it is disastrous for the world's most populated country. Thus the move to electric cars as fossil fuel is expected to run low in supply, along with environmental issues. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China_Business/KJ09Cb01.html Good news -LND has a great Lithium Resource Landore gave the market another surprise on 15 September 2009, outlining a lithium deposit in Ontario some 300 kilometres north-west of Thunder Bay. Root Lake hosts the McCombe Pegmatite which was discovered in 1956 and estimated shortly afterwards to contain 2.297 million tonnes of lithium (this estimate is not 43-101 compliant). Whilst this seemed an attractive discovery in the mid 1950s, by the end of that decade demand for lithium had fallen and the resource was not developed. Interest in lithium has greatly increased recently, because of its use in rechargeable batteries – particularly for electric and hybrid cars.

Lithium - Think Lithium - Batteries- electric cars- Lowering Carbon footprint- energy alternatives- scarce resource- World population at 6 billion and expected to grow by another 2 billion in next 5 years - are resources running out? -- Food for thought

There is world shortage of Lithium due to Bolivia not making their enormous resources available to international production companies. thus extracttion & availability is not really happening. Hence the source of Lithium in Canada is a very desirable. Canada is part of the commonwealth and it will readily trade Lithium with the EU and USA. I bought this share largely on the knowledge of their Lithium resources. Other than Canada & Bolivia I do not know of any other countries that hold a large Lithium deposit. ?? Perhaps someone could update me. Lithium is needed for rechargeable batteries (electric cars, ....)

PUB 52 week hi was 1117 and low was 28. As the markets settle and economies move towards recovery how will the Leisure sector (pubs) respond. My guess is fairly well. The culture in the EU is one of drinking out. Larger & Ale. A punt on PUB if it dips would be well worth the risk, especially if it rose to its 52 week high in the next year or so. I am not in this share but have observed how the British like their booze.

The best litmus test of the investment potential of Landore is perhaps the combination of the relative strength in the share price in very difficult times, and the variety and extent of the metals now known to exist within its acreage. The current estimate of the nickel at Junior Lake is 51,300 tonnes of nickel equivalent, though this excludes the potential extensions mentioned above. If this figure were to move closer to some 100,000 tonnes, the in-ground value of the nickel would, at current prices, be of the order of £1 billion. The nickel price is still markedly lower than it was, but some of its dramatic fall has recently been reversed. When the potential value of the iron is taken into account, and the recently-announced lithium, the in-ground gross value of the resources in the Landore portfolio is clearly substantial, and towers over the market capitalisation, which stands at approx £ 28.7m.
