what i know about shares u could write on the back of a postage stamp. i read the investor chronicle and bought shares in RBS AND BARCLAYS after reading that u could not go wrong buying them bought barclays at 5.32 rbs at 4.35 so nursing heavy losses on both been buying and selling for ten years now and at the end of last year i was up £79 grand that includes everything, divis and my accountant fees the mistake that i make is that i sell too early when a share is going up [ ie minerva, bought at 13p sold at 31p now 83p ] and i wont sell if a share is going down. my new policy is that i will hold on to share for at least one year before making a decision and most decision will be made in march and before april the 5th for tax reasons have over 80 shares , which i know is a lot , but that is what i like, plenty of divis. and a chance of a takeover. bought three shares today brammer nestor healthcare fiberweb heres hoping
You could have bought pretty much anything when the FTSE was down to 3500 and still have made a lot of money.
