Am new to this & want help from you guys on what shares to buy or watch?

The only shares I own are Pipex that I brought last week at 14.95p - 660,000 shares
And I have 100,000 to spend on shares what should buy please?

Who needs financial adviser when I have you guys helping me?
Thanks all of you

When I first started investing in shares I really was naive. It was quite pathetic really, buy a copy of shares magazine read a bit and invest purely on the strength of what I had read thinking this is easy.

No point in going into details but I virtually lost every penny I had invested. Was so gutted I actually walked away from investing in shares for a long time.

Thankfully I was big enough to realise it was my own fault. Obviously I came back to it as I'm here posting.

At this moment I'm very very happy with my investments, and I think the main difference is I decided to take my time and look for investments where I had an interest.

In my case it made it easier to understand all the blurb of info that is churned out through the press and bb's

You have made a good decision in coming to this forum as it really one of the best out there imho.

Never buy a share because of anyones comments on here or elsewhere, but use it as a starting point to start researching.

You will soon find that there are some great posters on here that offer so much to start pointing you in the right direction.

I would also recommend tracking shares for as long as it takes before you decide you are comfortable investing your money.

The reality is I'm afraid you have to do it yourself if you want to make money, but there are a lot of good guy's on here that will help with views etc etc.

Rant over, and I know it's a very simplistic view of things, but if I can show healthy returns, anyone can.

Good luck with your investments.

Choose a sector you know about and specialise in companies within that sector.

Shareshop -

₤25k in ArmorGroup - Short term
₤25k in GTL Resources - Medium term
₤25k in D1 Oils - Long Term
₤25k in Voller Energy - High risk play

Chart speaks for itself

Not a good chart either, possibly staging a recovery.

Err, another crap chart

gdp - ramping? how ungentlemanlike! lol

Best of the four, but unlikely to break out above 110p in the short term

best of the 4 ? pretty sure its a good sign when the sp breaks through all of the lines and Armor has done just that.
D1 is just off doing that and if you read correctly i did state long term so your graph is not really much help apart from showing that the sp has bottomed begun a recovery - a great time to buy.

As for GTL and VLR - both are seriously undervalued and have sound businesses - but as your a chartist you probably ignore the actual business and think wow that line looks good - buy buy buy. Try posting something a little more meaningful.
And for the share guy why are you advising him to ask a financial advisor? If he's got 100k to invest then he's obviously well off, and as he's posting on here probably has plenty of free time he should be investing in what he wants and learning, not being a bloody bore and shifting his money to someone else to play with.

Oh no.
It's just another I've got 100k to invest thread.

As others have already stated, don't take tips from a BB or magazine without doing your own homework.

Look at the tips given on specific shares on this thread and investigating them yourself will confirm that advice.

Again, stay away from smaller company shares where a small number of rampers can move the share price, swallow up your 100000 and move on, leaving you unhappy. Invest or gamble slowly, every day check to see whether if you didn't hold a share that day you would buy it. If the answere is no, SELL IT !!! SELL IT""

The dealing costs and Stamp duty are peanuts in comparison to what you may lose by holding a dog. I know from my experiences. Be smart and learn from other people's experience.
