...bought some VCT after watching over the last 12mths, with 5 other stocks. Funny my order of 297 displays as a sell today...!

...bought another 100 this morning along with 5 other stocks with my Cash ISA transferred to stocks & shares ISA account.

Just used my Cash ISA to invest it in here and five other stocks... Seems to be a steady eddy like SL. & VOD.

Just used my

...onboard along with a few other stocks I purchased this morning... Here's hoping Greece get help and accept retirement age of 36 is a joke!!! Can you believe Greeks get to retire at 36?

Highest div I see is HANSARD (life assurances division)... Pays 8.15%. Iv no interest in it at the moment, but that's the next part to any jigsaw after a takeover happens

Thanks for your input... I will be buying SL. , GNK, more GSK / AZN, and either BA. or VCT. decisions...decisions!

I'm on same wave length with you, I'm also waiting for similar effects with AZN, SL. , and GNK & maybe VCT (10% drop)...

Hi, I'm in the proceeds over the next month or two of adding more different stocks to my already portfolio. This one might be included in s&s ISA wrapper? Can someone give an opinion on how overweight they would put this stock in with around 27 others I have ( diversified portfolio )? My stocks at present remain on average 5% exception of a few ( JNJ, MUT, NVS, GS, and TSCO, ULVR ). Of £27k, this might be 1 of 5 or 1 of 4, unsure... Thanks. Atb

I'V transfering my Cash ISA to stock&Shares ISA. I'm in no rush to buy anything, but my broker S&J advised on 5 various stocks, though iv my own ideas. SL. is one he advised, and looking at it, looks a very good investment over last 3-4years, no major falls. Looking at morningstar.com It trades at a premium to FTSE, so unsure if it's worth paying a premium to put even £5k in. My current idea is to start a position of 1/3 if initial investment and top up on at least 20% dip. Ideas would be good. Morningstar has brokers saying that EPS could grow to over 22-24p for fy for 2015, which is great... Does SL have a any large investments within Greece?

...I hold my hands up, sorry I posted twice..

Wonder if the 4190p will be breached today or Monday... Think 3850p is a long term bottom, which will mostly be seen if the markets get the jitters this year from interest rates going up in USA. I'm still waiting on sidelines ( best bet so far ! ). Remember anyone buying now are buying something for the long term as the PFE rumour spurred the sp from around 3250-3400p area over a year, so this stock is STILL overbought. DYOR, don't just buy or sell cause someone says or has been buying on dips... ATB

Thanks Ra757 for your input, I was thinking the same, but feel that AZN has a new direction under Sorriot. BA. is one that I had forgotten about...! Yeah, Greece have nothing to give, China should jump in and buy the country with all the zillions of $ they have in reserve!! Lol July/Aug I will report back...

Quick, but in-depth question... I own around 30stocks, roughly 5% weighting in each, bar MUT, ULVR, GS, NVS, JNJ which are 8%. I am transferring £26k from cash ISA to stocks shares ISA today. I am considering making another position in GSK, AZN & add BAB. How does one evaluate whether to double my weighting in GSK or AZN. My main broker SpeirsJeffrey advises me and has picked RR & BAB, BAB which I will add, but am inclined to top-up GSK & AZN. I do understand the short-term pitfalls like interest rates rising, and some time markets get hammered, but this is an investment... Thanks

DEO (ADR), shot up 8% late afternoon in NYSE. wonder if that's what will happen here, maybe more as DEO is $110 a share to £17.60 for DGE...? Big buys have arrived!!

Just been re-reading over Ball Corp offer of 628p ( 407p in cash and 0.04568 of new share for Rexam.) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-19/ball-corp-agrees-to-buy-can-maker-rexam-for-6-8-billion Wonder if most would sell, or hold till deal. So far my main broker says he will contact e before to advise of selling. I never actually asked what he meant by that back in Feb...? Would probably re-invest into BABCOCK..

The only thing that's going to lift Astrazeneca from here, is a takeover, or some major drug that's going to become a blockbuster and plug the gap from the already depleting revenue of sales... This stock should not be trading St these heavy heights...

I have held both Imperial & BATS since 2010, now thinking to sell IMT shares and top up BATS? Is that a good move? I only hold 350 IMT at £19.71; 200 BATS at £24.22. Or just leave IMT..? You do have to laugh at these brokers, I think it were Exane who have a target of 2200p on IMT. Not going to happen in current market. Though then again, what would happen to all stocks if there was to be a GREXIT. Greece struggle to pay €1bn in loan payments and have €195bn to pay back!!! Scary, though UK is just as bad... ATB!

The reason for the steady fall in SP is due to it being 12mths since PFE came and tried to acquire AZN, plus the worsening EPS.. nothing else. SP jumped when it was around 3250-3400p last year. Charts dont lie... I will be a big buyer of AZN below 4000p, GSK around 1350p, and maybe some BAB.
