# HOLD # I take back what I said about Goldenshares. Looks like he is playing with fire there... On topping up, people usually use a rule of thumb top up if sp goes 20% below price you bought at, But you take the biscuit(lol), and top up with a pointless buy with a drop of like 4.5% before commision and stamp duty built in. ATB

As weeks go by now, the PFE deal looks binned, after hearing PFE has signed a deal with Merck & Co for a drug they have. http://investcorrectly.com/20141121/pfizer-inc-pfe-may-not-bid-astrazeneca-plc-adr-azn/

I agree with Goldenshares. If you have a cheap account based on commision per share, drip feed. By Drip feed, if you were to buy £5000 worth in total, buy £1500 now, then wait for at least a 20% drop to top up. That way you will average down the overall shareprice cost. But REMEMBER, if tou wish to invest here, Rio Tinto is $ sentitive, so very very volatile; any bad news from China / USA and RIO's shareprice will be hit. I'm not scarying you, just making you understand what you are dealing with. Though, I could say, pile in and buy oodles right now...haha. I have two accounts, one for trading and one for investing; trading is with Hargreaves Lansdown, and investment with Speirsjeffrey. ATB. When I buy another tranche, I will post, but for now its a watch. Sorry.

Think you can forget Pfizer, as they will not be making any attempts for takeover. Therefore, I believe the SP is at leat £10-£14 overpriced. Without new £bn drugs to help replace revenue lost already, this may go down to 4100p as brokers JPM and also Beaufort are stating. Time will tell. Holder of AZN, GSK, JNJ, NVS.

With the current fundamentals we have, this could easily drop to 2650p that GS has viewed. This is only 9% drop from 2900p level. Happy to have held AMC as it is now coming building momentum for January's rally upto a possible license for mine in Russia. Putin has met CEO last week. Looking very encouraging, just need a signature:-) Merry xmas all..

I don't listen to the zombie banks, but GS has helped me make a lot of money along with my own due diligence. http://www.4-traders.com/GOLDMAN-SACHS-GROUP-INC-12831/news/Goldman-Sachs--Rio-Tinto-plc-Receives-SellNeutral-Rating-from-Goldman-Sachs-RIO-19505425/ I still believe this is got a bearish signal in it, both medium, and longterm. So I wouldn't be going heavyweight on this if you haavent go the time to watch the 100pt moves it can make within a week.

Oops... I meant '...They made a glaring mistake at beginning stating RIO's peak was 2940p in Feb.'. We all know it was 3650-3680p range.

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/much-further-rio-tinto-plc-133145473.html They made a glaring mistake at beginning stating RIO's peak was 3610p+ in somewhere between June-August, not the 2940p stated in Feb. "...Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO) (NYSE: RIO.US) shares are down 19% since their February peak to 2,914p, giving shareholders a 6.4% loss over five years -- and dividends have been a little below the FTSE 100 average, too."

You miss one point. Next year is general election, so I'd possibly side with sp going lower after xmas. Xmas rally, there is nothing to cheer about...

You miss one point on the 3year trend! Next year is general election, so I'd possibly side with sp going lower after xmas. Xmas rally, there is nothing to cheer about...

Today The Daily Mail published a review of FTSE stalwarts TESCO & RIO and if they are good bargains. Final point that was pointed out that they might 'not' be able to hold the divdend if it were to hit 4.9%, thus implying a SP of. 2453p. I'm safe anyway with my average below 2000p

Well? Luddite you haven't answered my question, what would you expect to happen to dividend on a market crash or dip? Thanks

SSE shares have looked risky all year mate...nothing is changing and if you look back to start of year at least I pointed out the dividend wasnt covered by cash flow and they have borrowed to pay out. Stupid if you ask me, becuase it only causes jitters down the line.... Over and out.

SSE was given a 'SELL' rating by the Investors Chronicle due. To sufficient cash flow to cover the dividend yield at present is 5.6%...

Would it not better and just HOLD until interest rates start rising next year, then we can all be more bullish about how much more we buy here? These targets of 4600p by CITI seem preposterous to current economic backdrop! Just look at people who were continually buying at over #6500p in 2008 before the crash in March 2009. I wonder what the targets these stupid brokers were being paid to price up the stock? Maybe £100, lol... US data signals that there economy is powering ahead, and announced unemployment rate at 5.8% which is not bad. 5year low... Thank god I transfered my CASH ISA into a fixed rate of 3.9% for 3years. It(£61,850) matures in May 2015, just the perfect time to use some in a stocks & share ISA next year!

IF the past month of the "market action" does not tell you that this market is so fake and manipulated, I think everyone deserves to start losing. When they do decide to pull the plug, the thing will drain down to the nothing it truly represents. Maybe back down valong with continued slowing Chinese growth and interest rate hikes... Zero interest rates, rigged LIBOR, relentless short selling of commodities, and the index game should make you run away from this. You really believe this can continue, and for how long? God only knows... Current holder of RIO stock.

Can't believe it Berenberg broker has it in for National Grid so badly that they have a 12mth target of 725p. Though, maybe when interest rates start to go up, and with the collassal debt, £3obn, maybe it will start being hit by higher interest payments thus hitting profit margins..

Oops, the $3.42 I stated for RIO's EPS was from the yahoo's US market website for the ADR... It should read Interim normalised EPS is 149.98p. http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/stockreport/default.aspx?tab=10&vw=fs&SecurityToken=0P00007OTS%5D3%5D0%5DE0WWE%24%24ALL&Id=0P00007OTS&ClientFund=0&CurrencyId=GBP

Fird, first of all good you try and compare bHP to RIO! Something that is not done enough on these boards. I need to correct some figure... RIO's EPS is actually 342p for a forward P/E of 8; BHP's EPS is actually 259p giving a forward P/E of 6.22. #NEVER use one source for information. You must check RIO & BHP's website for acurate information, or morningstar.co.uk
