Anyone looking into, bus company, train company , ferry company stocks with this grounding of planes? P&0 ferries is inundated.

Mr Bez I use a standard spread betting account such as IG index, free and real time prices
Unless you expect this ash to last for at least a month or two, I wouldn't bother.

I don't really have any, I got stung on DES, and was holding a couple thousand RKH but I have just sold.

They spudded today incase you didn't know. I wish all the best to those who are holding, but I doubt I will invest in exploration again, may aswell go and take £2k to the casino and play roulette.

Bez, whats your entry price on RBS? RBS will closely shadow BARC so I guess this may be of interest to you

Averaging around 34 pence mate.

A few broker reports have changed RBS to 60 - 70 pence.

What would you suggest?

Definately hold, analysts have upped barclays to 460p aswell. We are in the midst of a massive bull run for financial stocks.

The time to sell will be when the smart money starts moving out of the financial sector, I will post a chart when/if it does.

Fair point.
I only have a small amount in them, but thought maybe it will strike lucky!

lol me neither.

Still got my DES and RKH shares - not really sure what to do with them. Might as well hold the DES ones but not sure whether to sell RKH at a small loss or run the risk again.

Awesome day for RBS today though, up 8% :cool:

Worth investing more into financials then, I have a spare £500 I could put somewhere?

Mini - I hope they do strike lucky, but as I said, you have more chance gambling. The chance of success for DES on the last well and for RKH is like 23% and 17%.

Wow 8%, you've gotta be long financials at the moment

Im not so sure Bez, usually the mugs get caught up in the last 5-10% of a rally. Then the smart money pushes everything down and cleans up. If I were you I would save that £500 and keep it to one side, just concentrate on your RBS holding and be thankful you caught this bull run. Look for sell signals as we come to the end of april/start of may.

FTSE & Nikkei will both follow the S&P 500, have a look at my post earlier regarding a forecast for that.

Basically it is going to continue going up, buy the dips in growth stocks, financials, industrials, consumer non-essentials



Yes and no. Go chart house prices against those. Look at the correlations on the time lags. You might find it interesting.
