So shell got up to around 1930, and is now back in the mid 1800's. There is a chance this will touch 2050 or so in the next few months, although I haven't worked out when to get in, yet....
A couple of shares that I am looking at at the moment are Glaxo (GSK) as mentioned previously on this thread, and Astra Zeneca (AZN). I'll post some more on these when I have some get in / out points established.
Just thought I would try and revive this thread a little in the meantime....

I heard a radio interview with Jim Rogers, who is a legendary billionair investor, although I don't know mcu habout him, but he was just pushing commodities the whole way for the very long term, ten to fifteen years, and advising buying as much oil, minerals, vegetables etc as possible........

I am interested in how you 'Gecko' types get on. Will you be looking at charting or stockastics as a way of review ? what ? you dont know what I am going on about

Does anyone know what the term
Holding value means.
I am using a trial portfolio on the Telegraph. And I have searched this site and the web and have not found an explanation for this
Say I have 1,000.00 Cash in my trading account
I buy 4 Securities in - Company ABC - Buy at 100.00.
Instead of knocking off 400.00 from my cash balance
It takes a 1% value in this instance it would be 4.00 and places it under holding value.
So the figures look like this
4 Securities @ 100.00 each in ABC Holding value 4.00
Cash Balance 996.00
When i would expect it to look like this
4 Securities @ 100.00 each in ABC value 400.00
Cash Balance 600.00
Thanks

As i read it you have £1000 in your account and u buy 4 shares at 100p i.e £4 total-think you are mixing up ur pounds and pence-when u see share price on teletext etc they are quoted in pence hence 2238 is £22.38 in pounds

Oil has been very good performer over the last year. Do people think it will continue to be a good bet - or has the bull run its course?
Here are some examples of some of the oil stocks I have followed
Premier Oil (PMO) 21.12.2005 - 780.00p 13.11.2006 - 1330.00p
Soco International (SIA) 21.12.2005 - 812.00p 13.11.2006 1449.00p
Tullow Oil (TLW) 21.12.2005 - 265.00p 13.11.2006 414.50p

Thanks for the replies
I know what you are saying and that seems like the obvious answer.
So taking this and relating it to some actual figures shown in my Telegraph portfolio is the following correct?
So if 1 share which has a market price of 2,493.00p is bought - this translates to a holding value of £24.93
The ,had me confused as I was looking at the figure in pounds not pence.
I have been using excell spread sheets with links to online figures for this past year. This next year I am going to run a dummy portfolio to try and get used to trading online.
As you can see-it looks like we are at a high point at the moment
Telegraph Shares & Funds
This only shows 3 years Do the look up under all which shows the last 10.

Over a long-term view, oil as a commodity will be a good buy, there is no way it can go down, in theory, and it's a commodity everyone know's something about. We know there isn't much of it, we know we need it, so therefore in five, ten, fifteen years time will oil be worth more then than it is now? Almost certainly.
An interesting oil company to keep an eye on is Max Petroleum, MXP.L, a small outfit being run by some of the tops guys in the industry, who are starting to produce oil in Kazakhstan. Although I am far from buying this yet, it is worth looking at occaisonally.

I think Astra Zeneca (AZN.L) GLaxo (GSK.L) and Shell B Share (RDSB.L) are very shortly going to become prime for a buy and quite decent short term gains!

AZN did about 300 points in January and early Feb after my last post.
I'm now back on it as a buy, I think it's very much at the bottom of it's price band at the moment, and I'm expecting 250 (9% of value) in the short term, and potentially more over the summer.......
Just thought I'd share that with you... No guarantees implied!

Where do I go now? Just sold some ITV and some Vodaphone. I should'a jumped earlier, particularly on ITV. I could have fed at that well twice rather than holding on and worrying about it Still, at least they were both up when I jumped plus I got a few divis.
Shell's jumped quite a bit recently, so no point in me topping that up. BP's off my Radar recently though I assume from the SP that they've recovered from losing infrastructure in the Mexican Gulf (Hurricane).
Anyone want an ETF? I've been tracking INFR for a little while now. (Though I haven't invested in it). Went for IPRP instead, just before the recent interest rate wobbles.

I remember in the late 1980's when their shares were less than 10p. My father worked for them, helped them float, and had a substantial share in the company. Shame he doesn't still have them! One of his friends managed to put 2 kids through 6 years of boarding school from the return on a relatively small investment.
