There is always this argument about why people write, teach etc. etc. I think you have to take all at face value and make your own judgement. I mean, Tiger woods has a coach so why doesn't the coach scrap Tiger and win the tournaments himself!?!?!?

Any how, I think the answer is more simple than that. An analogy....

Why does a dog lick itself............... Because it can.

(It probably enjoys doing it also, which is why I write articles, because I enjoy it (Writing articles that is!!!))

If a stock is bound to go up, why does a market maker sell it, Surely the market maker would be better off keeping for themselves. (Doh!)

That's an easy one. They put the price up and then sell :-)

Why do people become soccer writers instead of playing football? It's a pretty stupid argument. Anyway, hasn't anyone noticed that Shares has guidelines which it prints each week making it clear the journalists aren't allowed to deal in the stocks they write about? Which is more than can be said for some of the people ramping their portfolios on certain bulletin boards.

Disappointed with Shares Mag this wk. There's no mention at all of iTouch. In fact there's it's not even in the forward diary for next weeks results due 16th March. There has not been a mention since the beg of the year when it was tipped of the potential to go up x 5 !.
Bit cheesed of shares mag. Shares that it has previously gone mad on then seem to get forgotten. OK, there may be not much news to report on but.. we would like to know if they are still backing their original views. etc etc.

There are also alot of other shares that are in the same boat.. previously mentioned a good strong plays (buys) and then ... nothing.

Also, don't like their new minute index.. just to get more advertising in !?

anyone else notice the FTSE 350 tables were out of alignment last week's issue? Very irritating!

Can't complain about "the quality" of Shares, the usual problem is that MM's know in advance what we punters are likely to buy - so ups the price causing more of us to jump on. Better to wait a week or two and see which way the share is going.
re. Cruising - this applies to any media opinion like those that advise on TV doing-up houses - sometimes they just like to do something else!
The thing to remember is that sometimes they will be in contact with companies where we can't go - so they may have a fresher insight to the way the business is going ....but equally they may be overly keen due to a good presentation and meeting-mood. Don't forget that if management is lying it's still a lie from whatever source. Most managements want to bask in sunshine.
I prefer to read about companies and do precisely nothing; for when I buy the share drops and when I sell they rise a further 20%. Just sometimes I get it right, so who says you can't make luck?
Mine come from the newstand - puts a spring into my early walk.

Shares magazine is rubbish e.g.planestation.Name ONE financial pundit/writer/
stockbroker/institution - except Prudential and me that complained about the management /especially Oliver Inny.
Shares magazine is great - for dreamers

FTreader. If there are any printing errors in your mag you should let the editor know - we often used to get refunds from the printers when that happened with the magazines I worked on. Remember the mags are printed by an outside firm normally nothing to do with the publishers, and sometimes a batch goes out wrong - the editor often has no way of knowing what has happened unless you tell him.

hangon - doing nothing has been my best tactic recently. Anything else and I lose!

Hi all,

I am beginning to enjoy causing so much annoyance on so many treads - lol

N.B.I really think Shares magazine is reasonably o.k.

Skyhigh they like to tip PDL week in and week out and whatch the price move sideways

HT.

Yes. Index seemed even tinier today, maybe because so many companies covered.
Please ring up/e-mail/text/write to complain if you agree!

Lighten up Grandma - i never thought i'd get to say that! If you subscribe to Shares (just buy a copy RichardJHJ, the subscription phone no. is inside,) it costs you 99 a year. As a subscriber you have free access to MoneyAM - saving 50 per year? Net cost of 52 Share Mags, 49 or 94p per issue - less per week than half a pint of cheap lager or 5 cigarettes. Since November 03 I have bought the following shares after an initial BUY recommendation in the magazine.

CMS Webview bought @ 9.75
Lupus Capital bought @ 8.195
Host Europe bought @ 1.46
Tadpole bought 12.83

compare these offer prices with the current bids!

Several others haven't shown yet, but I haven't had them long, and the only turkey appears to be Cytomix. What is happening there?

I find SHARES an easy and enjoyable read and it's earnt me a few bob. As a rookie trader i think it's well worth the money. Much more fun than a half of cheap lager and 4 fags once a fortnight!

I enjoy reading it and always take their comments/views with an open mind.

p-snow- I've taken Shares from the very first issue & hold all the stocks you mention.
I just don't want to be forced into bi-focals so that I can read the index, which has only recently been small print.
I don't subscribe because the post comes so late in my village, but thanks for the reminder that I could get the gist from MAM.

Skyhigh / grandma,

I agree, the Index is now a joke, and they should distribute free magnifying glasses with the next edition!

I realise the ads on that page will attract a decent premium, but to make the index so small as to not be able to read it is plain stupid, IMHO!

And if a potential reader can't see what's oin the mag, he may well just buy the IC where the index is very readable!

arkright,

I was delighted to read your letter.I suggest you post it every month.

mr aj sir, what letter would that be???
