After 2011 disaster,lets hope for some opportunities to present themselves? Perhaps my biggest mistake was not selling on news as i intended,market being much mire short term nowadays.
What's for sure the demand for oil will not go away,maybe a short term blip which will bring a buying opportunity?
Gold perhaps once the strength of the dollar runs it's course?
Copper,steel and coking coal have been in demand once things pick up?
How about Iraq,riches or rags??
So many things to weigh up,but short term seems to work,taking profits(however small) as most SP's seem to drift after news allowing a buy back chance?

Enough of my ranblings,lets get through today first.

Any company in Iraq, GKP,PCI,HOIL and gENL come to mind. Political risk?

You left out AFR and PET

Only a matter of time before gold recovers. imho.

Trouble is when it goes up the gold share's don't ,its more to do with the dollar , risk aversion and other methods of investing in Gold

Added AFR(mistake)don't know PET.

PET , is not really worth adding

Just remembered BLVN,GFM and JLP,patience with these two,they will recover imho.

Concerning post #3, "We have over 7bln people to feed, and support to develop. There should be less fighting and killing and more tolerance."
Surely if there were more wars and more killing there would be less mouths to feed?

.

I think that subjects for the NOWT thread?

FUM heavily tipped by Shares Mag. Have posted the article on the FUM thread.

DYOR etc.

Defensive divi payers I already hold but still like are RSA @ 107.80p and SBRY @ 310.30p
This surely must be the year for AMER @16.75p
BHR @ 9.52p are increasing output, and once the rail road is sorted the sp should improve markedly.
Finally SER @ 2.27p are getting their act together.
Good luck and good health to all for 2012

If you don't hold it already, have a look at CSN (Chesnara) .

I have held in the past and got a little fed up with the slow moving SP and CFDs at the time had a wide spread.

The yield is good and I think unless I am missing something the business strategy is solid and sound,

But DYOR.

Not sure why I never bought more in the past.

Good Luck.

Just had a look at the chart of CSN.

I think I would leave it for a few days, but my guess is that it is going to continue its recovery.

Thanks Fred, I'll have a look over them in the next few days, to be honest it's not one I follow.

From post 21, last year SBRY +11% ; RSA + 16.8% were both steady performers and imo are worth holding.

AMER + 179% cracking performance and a lot more still to come in 2013, imo

BHR - 71% and SER - 52.8% let the side down.

GKP,GENL,MML,AFR,CZA,PTR and WTI, should yeild worthwhile returns,always assuming China fets its act together?
