everybody dreams of picking the right penny share for the top.i myself am about to start a new portfolio and would like some ideas from the punters on this forum.

I wished !

Only other "Pennies" I hold are :-

CAV - Chelsea Village, something going on there, but not sure what. Speculative
AGP - AIT Group, sure it is a good recovery stock, but management not the best. Recovery play and looks to have cleared the 30p hurdle for good.
ETL - EuroTunnel - a shot in the dark

Obviously - DYOR.

CAV - up 17% today so I see what you mean about something going on and infact this one has gone up nearly 50% in the last month ?????????

AGP - I have some of these purchased at an outrageous prices over 2 years ago, just before 'the shit hit the fan!'(equ. 250!) Too scared to buy back but should bite the bullet to help clear out the portfolio. I must admit the news looks more positive - but not sure if I am brave enough to take a chance.....

ETL - Got some of these 2 years ago, currently showing a 40% loss. Recent took the plunge a purchased a small amount more. I know one of the contractors on the new tunnel, which he's says it is proceeding well.

Don't have a problems with the reseach bit, but often it's just step one, which companies to do research on! I try to look round the BB's for suggestions, and have a couple of sectors and a core of companies that I keep an eye on, but try to add the odd one from time to time, sometimes removing one to keep it all fresh and interesting! Easier said than done, with limited time!

HAR Up 70% today and set for more.
IMD Profitable and huge growth potential.
SGD Likewise good results and agressive growth.
ECK Worth a punt as BT deal works through.

See S/Telgraph Money section on Sundays Edmund Jackson column RE: Penny Shares
Page 2 Which he goes in to certian shares which to buy long term Ie Dana Pet
NSB RETAIL AND CERTAIN OTHERS

Am long CAV from a couple of weeks ago after a whisper, South Africa is a clue.

Also long for a bit of fun CST from 0.07P! again after a whisper, dont touch these with a bargepole though.

well done farmboy sparked off the thread with top tipping.andy,superrod,and little woman and others have done well to keep the thread open but todays the day when i have seen how well this board can do.lets have somemore.pity i went to bed last night and missed your tips

This is a quality penny share (as far as these things go!!!)

Take a look at Thus. Ft250 company but 19p odd as I type. DYOR of course

my old man used to always say" Keep you money in your sporan, and your hand on your penny", maybe he was appalled by penny shares, never understood really.

just tipped THUS on another thread. bad times look to be behind them.

EVS - Envesta - maybe not one for those that know Stephen Dean all too well!! Now he has gone, Seymour Pierce PDF buy note worth a look. Usual risks but supposedly making money and cleared debt from cashflow. Recently been diluted by preference share conversions, but this will mean long term saving on pref dividends. I have held and traded these for, on and off, for a couple of years. Question my sanity but if Seymour Pierce are right it could be quite solid in the end. Basically a boring telecoms that is doing what it says! Stephen Dean managed to stage some corporate gaffs as you would expect, but he is now gone!!!!

Hold OXS and AVM also. OXS showing me better than expected returns to date! AVM results in July, to be in or out, well I'm staying in!!! Also Game Group (GMG) AGM in couple of days - this is a qualifier as a penny stock at under 1 (60p), oh, and also SEG (SCi Ent) must qualify too!

Other pennies held are the dogs and generally suspended - oops!!!

ECK are due for a surge

ps
oops 8.40 a.m. up 4+%

super-odd - 01 Jul'03 - 20:20 - 31 of 33 (sequestered)

Well farmboy, now we know why your tip for CAV (now up more than 100% from a month ago!) was going up - Ken Bates sold his entire holding to a Russain Millionaire. Whats the betting that he eventually takes over the company!

That was an excellent share.

I fancy corus,thus,pursuit dynamics and osmetech.Will also take a position in new issue african diamonds.

I still like HIF, 4.25 to buy. The floor I guess is 3p mid bcause that is what Canaccord institutional clients paid recently. The co. needs to do placings to fulfil its growth ambitions and IMO this must be on an increasing price scale. Not a zoom to the sky share, not all at once, but if held will reward manyfold over time.

Hell I have got 500 quid on HIF, I wouldn't venture more mind!

Re diamonds River Diamonds (OFEX stock) has actually found some quite nice sparkly ones I believe

OMH, and look Michael Walters even agrees with me !

and this was written without taking into account the news of the Crewe closure and the move to America, as explained in "OMH Lifting off?" thread, posts 42 and 43

Project Telecom may be worth a look although strictly speaking its not a true penny share. However you need to look back at the last profit warning and make a decision if its troubles are behind it or not.

RHPS Guide/tip sheet arrived today, their choices usually move up the day after publication
TCY- Telecity buy up to 8p
TRK Torotrak 48p
CPU Computerland 178p----not a penny share any more

blame/praise RHPS not I for results eitherway.

Re Yoomedia (Epic YOO) Nice bit of news which may not have been seen;
