Some Things11 Feb 2012 07:08
Despite quite a few shares in the competitors' VPF's having risen well due to various factors,probably more skill in stockpicking than a general recovery,a glance at news shows concerns.What we have positive this week is the Greek thing settled till the next crisis maybe next week,next month who knows ? One thing talking about retiring at 95 and prices doubling lol,well a slight exaggeration but another actually living with that!In the UK we have another slice of QE.Merv isn't happy you see.Oil-Brent crude now $118 a barrel.I'm reading this off a paper now-CNE,AMEC,PFC,TLW all doing well off that.Defence BAE rose.The BOE and Europe left interest rates unchanged yet again.TATE nnounced losses,while ENT looked grim.VOD hit by lower phone use,gambling doing well,RANK as is RR.Drinx like whisky good with Diageo.Other successes BG..LAND suprised despite shoppiung centres being quiet,while Hargreaves Lansdowne doing well,incidentally very useful for when I decide which shares are in ISAs that is.This quick scan shows my intention to max. some bank money earning nothing by getting more shares will be difficult unless targeted on something maybe my colleagues have in their VPF's like NYO or something else,ISAable.Remember no UK stamp duty on ISAs in AIM.
