Share Dealing

Investing in the markets is as risky as betting in a majority of circumstances. The best way to mitigate risk is to invest in a range of funds (managed by people that do it for a living) across asset sectors with different correlations.

How these sectors/classes are allocated depends what your own attitude to risk is, although someone with no investment experience should ever invest in a single share unless they are comfortable losing all the money. In addition you need to be comfortable not touching the money for about five years once invested in any equity based investment.

There's no such thing as free money. People like Warren Buffet poured over companies books for weeks to assess their potential for growth. If investment opportunities with huge growth potential were that easy to spot, most funds would have astronomical growth figures (they don't and they're run by top analysts)

The Chinese will keep CZA moving upwards for some while yet!

Coal will overtake oil in the next few years within BRIC

Remember CZA has already moved down.

CZA up again!

I've top sliced nearly £3k in profits since the 31st

Slightly surprised the MMs haven't tried shaking out a few short term traders; no doubt it will come before the EGM

2013 is the year of the junior mining stocks IMO. They have been massively oversold these last few years.
 
Good point actually, if a share is 12p and then goes to 24p it doesn't sound like much but you've actually doubled your money.
 
When I get a bit more spare cash I will be messaging you up. Better pay of the credit card first although its tempting to invest it make return and then pay of credit card quicker but it's a bit risky for me.

Whats your average return been money wise for each of say the last 5 years?

Are you actually putting real money in ? Or is this just a virtual portfolio as mentioned in your opening posts.
 
I'm sticking with RBS and Barclays on the back of this news.

For all of the above reasons they have revised their price target on Lloyds to 60p (from 50p) that for Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) to 315p (from 255p) and RBS (LSE: RBS.L - news) to 410p.
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/broker-snap-ubs-hikes-targets-141100530.html

So I am going with a new target of Barclays 350p and RBS 400p (BARCs bought at 201.24p & RBS bought at 27.77p (that's now 277.77p) and 246.13p bought twice)

Ideally I want to be out of RBS as the government bought its shares at an average of 50p or £5.00 now. I cannot see them holding on and that high % they own will see the price drop IMO, unless they find a buyer willing to take the lot.
