[QUOTE=f1_fan;11540262]British Gas shares are down 20.4% since Jan 1st or do you have the magic ones no one else has? [quote/]
British Gas shares? I take it you mean Centrica. Do your homework first before posting Christopher. I hold BG which has sweet fa to do with British gas.

But why pick on one share? Why not check out Nat grid shares and post your view on them, or halfords or chesnara all of which have done well this year and pay handsome divi. Surely even you know that's why people who invest wisely have a portfolio to spread the risk.

For some it has been for others not.

so are the investment company thats hold a 5% stake can't remember the company name but it's in the paper's today, the same thing will happen when all the postie's are allowed to sell, price will hit rock bottom due to the amount of share's for sale, hedge fund's move in for the kill buy them up cheap affecting the price, then wait for a 10-20% increase and the offload costing us all millions

BG shares are down this year not up! You implied that was not the case!

Warren Buffets investment motto is "invest in companies that even an idiot could run - because someday they might"

the Tesco's board maybe bigger idiots than we thought

jonc

A bit selective with your highlighting in try and support your arguement there.

They are just adjusting Chip's personal shares upwards while everybody else's go down

dpb

Wel, he must have a lot of shares

dpb

I've got a lot of shares, all bad ones

Chip

Correct!

Chip

I do, which means nothing as a share can be worth £25 or 0.1p

Chip

Fair point I was of course referring to my portfolio which most people trading in shares will have to spread the load as I am sure you know. But thanks for pointing that out anyway.

dpb

I have twenty grands worth of gold and oil shares, which I didn't get out of at the right time. Now the world economy has, apparently, improved I could have lost the lot

Also got 5k of BT and Santander, which are fine

Chip

Yes, BT up 70% in 2 years and Santander around 25 in two years as well, a good return.

But wait! This can't be can it as the markets have collapsed and the worlds going to end soon according to some

dpb

I doubt it, we've got shale now

dpb

And someone's got to make all those guns


War is popular pastime nowadays

Looks like the FTSE is going to finish the year lower than it started the year So much for the experts and so much for Osborne's economic miracle

Chip

Yep, and not far off its yearly high a few days ago. It goes up and down you know and money can be made in either direction.

Like football you say you don't care about shares etc but you seem to spend a lot of time posting on it.

Sigh, the FTSE is a big indicator of economic confidence and of the economy in general so of course I take an interest, who wouldn't? Try your point scoring sh1te somewhere else for a change.

Chip

Whatever!

jonc

And what does the FTSE100 indicate since the Tories came into office?

dpb

Does anybody see oil prices rising again,. ???

Like ever

^Qwerty^

Yup, when the next war kicks off in the Gulf area? Still, as much as my oil related shares have all taken a beating in the last week or two, I've just filled up the car with diesel at £1.20 with no vouchers etc.

dpb

I Don't think isis are anything like that troublesome. ...?

Dingdongler

Sigh, even a child would know that the FTSE 100 is more an indicator of the world economy than the UK economy.

Dingdongler

My portfolio isn't looking in great shape to be honest, but then I've never paid enough time and attention to it.

The oil price is interesting. A good time to buy into an oil etf or would it be a case of catching falling knives?
