Less wars and free health care,he gets my vote too.

Seems to have stabilised between 236-240 this week.

Good time to buy.

Pre election nerves holding shares back,Obama 2/7 to win http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/politics-and-election/us-presidential-election/winners

I've always been in company pensions,lucky enough to have been in final salary schemes most of my life including current company.Had about 6 years in money purchase schemes(2) which were transferred into a Sipp . Interesting to hear about your property investments.Best investment I ever made was my first house.

Better still allow investors in drawdown to take out dividend.

I'm still 20% up but it is time consuming, Portfolios set up to sit back on and reinvest dividend.Still got another 14 years to go to 55,earliest opportunity to collect from Sipp. Government needs to look at rules for withdrawals it's based on 15 year gilts and current 2% max withdrawal from funds is a joke for investors/current pensioners,should be a minimum of 5-6%.

Had 800 left from portfolio overhaul and put in evraz this morning,getting fed up with 20+ trades a month at the moment.

If you look at 12 month chart for Greggs,March is probably a good time to sell before 40p drop on ex

Vodafone Was frightened off by press reports of dividend freeze/reduction,realised later it was probably scare mongering and bought back in.Telegraph did something similar a while back claiming vod wasnt interested in c&w. Greggs Impressive fundementals.Ambitious plans for coffee shops.Progressive dividends and a very good entry point on the charts.Target 520p will be putting a couple of grand in the morning.Drops about 40p after ex div will probably peak around April

Bought some BP today,in with the old bear.

I'll investigate :)

Ive setup a buy at 235, sell limit 242.

Was considering yesterday,will have to change name to Ivan :)

Currently up 4 1/2p

Sold a penny up after reading this from Hargreaves Lansdown website news clips: http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/stock-market-news/press-round-up/tuesday-newspaper-round-up-rolls-royce,-sovereignty,-barclays

Better to aim for more frequent 5%s will discuss more later date.

Would put half stake in at 235-236 hold watch then top up with other half a few hours later if its dropped.

Think I was being a bit reckless last week slamming 70% into this,but expected a quick rebound from 13p drop from 253(well at least 5p anyway).Further 8p drop caught me out but 15% top up at 235 softened the blow,anyway after yesterday's sale at 240 left with 20% in.

Glad I'm not in charge of New York electricity network :) .
