Proves that Maggie had socialist principles lol.

I would say that the ingredients of the cake are worth more than the cake itself so if lloyds was made up of say 4 banks and lloyds shareholders were issued separate shares in each then the combined total would give better value.

Glad to hear about the generous aviva share scheme sounds like you will make a healthy profit,all companies should do it imo. I'm not against riskier shares but 2.5-5% of a portfolio seems sensible on a risk to reward basis for each and no more than 20% in total for high risk maybe 20% medium risk and 60% low risk.

I would never advocate sticking all eggs in one basket,between 5-1 0% in any share sounds sensible perhaps 2-3% for riskier ones.As for Miliband, well to be honest I'm a floating voter always seem to vote for whoever gets in though would never vote liberal as they appear to me to be career politicians who backtrack on their word more than most eg promising free further education before the election,I sincerely hope they lose all their seats.Anyway haven't looked into it but assume Milliband is advocating ungluing the banks a bad thing?not if your looking to change mortgage(lack of competition plus variable rate at monopolistic levels)or saving again monopolistic poor rates.Anyway is cake cutting really bad for investors?

220,000 shares bought in BHR this morning @ 0.91 eps 1.25 p a share in 2 years according to digital look http://www.digitallook.com/cgi-bin/dlmedia/security.cgi?csi=195695&

I'm standing by my predictions 480 before final ex 560 dec14 620 dec15.

I posted to somebody yesterday on golden ocean board that I tend to avoid gold and oil mining stocks most are pump and dumps.Anyway looking at 5 year chart ,current price 9.75 would personally put a 12p target with a 9 p stop loss but for me not worth punting on with 40 profit on a two hundred stake or about 25 loss. However Yesterday I did chuck two hundred into chariot oil which had a peak about fifteen times above current minimum same level as net asset value approx.Five year graph worth checking out,fields in Morocco Namibia and Brazil off top of my head.

All nudges from board posters appreciated I will take a look.

Cashed in a couple of funds today bought 800 Morrison at 254 and 700 centrica 320.5

Glad your where did you disappear to yesterday?:)

I still reckon your related to Warren lol

We will all have migrate to the sse board lol.

I was thinking more of a fixed rate interest only deal but just an idea probably best forgotten as there are risks involved.

Energy shares are just good value at present SSE Centrica( igas for the brave)partly political and partly due to mild winter,defensives always dip on rising markets ftse peaking. j53 with ultra low mortgage rates could you remortgage on an interest only deal buy sse shares and use dividend to cover payments and make profit?

or cash in and dive into sse at chart low with interim ex next week.

Rise due to recovery expectation and faith in new chairman,break ups can create added value.Why not hold and put a stop loss of 135 that way if it keeps going up your still in and if you take profit at 135 then you can justify with the fall no matter what happens later.

Seems on a healthy upward trend since the aviva chairman took charge up about 20% since December.

Don't worry about going off topic it's a happy mix on this board.

Cash came through just now from fund sold before 8am this morning,good service Hargreaves Lansdowne. 150 sse bought at 1320.

Perfect time to buy today-a great nudge from Armani.Plus also just over 18 months holding is almost another 2 pounds in dividend.I said to Optimus a while back that I would hold out for this sort of level to buy in on,just hadn't realised until Armani's post that it was there.To be honest I've been focussing more on Centrica but currently with the better div sse's slightly better value I think .
