Any share recommendations.
Not arty farty trendy shares or quick bucks, but sensible solid companies to buy into.
I did think about HMV as with Zavvi and Woolies closing HMV always seems busy. But i looked at the chart and they are on a high. Too expensive?

TW - Taylor Wimpey
heavily into them - should double by March - possible x10 in 2/3years
Funding deal due late feb/early march
These were £5 2 years ago - 18p now
current share price values company at just under £200million.
It has 1.55billion of debt but 3.5 billion worth of land
It has heavily cut its overheads and will be at the front of any recovery later in 2009. Also will benefit from the government push on bank/BoE lending
This is my holiday home fund in 5 years time

The debt I can believe, but when was the land valued, and by whom?

IMO shares in general still have some way to fall as there is no light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the economy. The only shares I hold are British Energy, which got bought out, so I got the money for those recently, and RBS which I had an all-or-nothing poke at just for fun! (currently up over 100% on what I paid a couple of wks back, but could still easily fall to nothing!)
Only things I would go back into really are energy, gold (Randgold etc) and banks (for a high-risk punt!)

Banks are high risk i had shares in B&B from when they converted to a bank and all that went when they got taken over by the Government and my shares in TSB got devalued when they printed loads more to sell to the governement effectively diluting my stake.

I think RBS shares are worth speculating on (speculating not investing - there is a difference).
20p - could easily be worth a £1 in two or three years; £5 in five years. Or nothing.
When they were 11p it was definately worth buying 10,000, even at 20p if you have £2k to spare.

To answer question further up page.
Stated land values have been re-adjusted by between 20-30% already.
TW now 20p - doubled my money already in the last 3 months.
Enough to buy me a nice toy with 4 wheels, but staying in for the long term.
Want a safer bet - Balfour Beatty - good order book as they deal with long term PFI work (3-5 years work)
Share price has come down with whole market, but they are very well placed in the construction world.
Not all construction shares - risky look at GOO (gold oil)

Amazon is Wall-Mart online i read somewhere. Developing a great brand name. If you want small electrical items online, where else do you go.
