Did you get some VML

not in yet driver--I kept waiting for a sharp pull back which hasn't happened!! I'll get some when I have some funds.

couldn't miss the party--I'm in for a few! I sacrificed my dcd to do it. vml look much more exciting.

would anyone think me mad to trade SER for VML at this stage of the game?

Have held SER for ages and now in profit - just. have no spare cash and would like to get a 2nd stock in uranium before missing the boat- assuming it isnt too late.[already hold THR-not their primary tgt but will be soon i am guessing]

RDG has tripled in six months on strength in nickel and other metals markets.

Good prospects, IMO, but PDYOR. Have updated thread.

There is a lot of interest in uranium at the moment, uranium is the next dotcoms I only have VML but also looking at others.

Chemistry Communications (CHCP, listed on Plus, see http://www.plusmarketsgroup.com/story.shtml?ISIN=GB0005543706&NewsID=24713) announced 58% increase in profits. PE less than 8.

If anyone feels like living dangerously, it might be worth a go. I have started a thred. PDYOR, etc.

Morning all. Walker Greenbank (WGB) reported good results this a.m. I like the chart and trading volume, so have had a punt. DYOR.

Another retailer with a profit warning DEBENHAMS, I'm glad I didn't buy in.

WH Smiths (SMWH) due for a rise after improved results and announcement of a JV with Post Office???

SMWH Bid: 446.5p Offer: 448.75p Change: 14.5

Have bought a few on margin/T+20.

Is it time to take another look at SCO?,very heavy buying over the last week,2x20mill,

soul* ..... when you last went into WHS, were you impressed by the set-up, merchandise, staff etc etc? ...... the advantage of retailers is that youi can actually see for yourself what you are (might be) buying in to ...... analogously, that is why i am happy to buy the likes of RTN and DOM, but avoid FSH and Pizza Express

soul, apn released the kind of trading update you normally like.

as for house prices, there is no reason for them to drop when demand is still very strong.

nor, bosley, is there good reason why they should continue to rise indefinitely ..... house prices must surely be now seriously overblown, which is not to say a crash is inevitable, but merely that prices could easily soften or even weaken in the comparatively near future ..... the imminent rate rise is certianly going to affect many potential buyers and in particular, those who have borrowed for property to let

an aside ..... i find it wrily amusing that certain stock threads receive heavy attention for while, usually when sp is rising, but as soon as sp weakens and questions are asked, one is either ignored or accused of deramping

cynic, we bought our house 4 years ago and the same arguements were around then. i'm not saying things will continue in the same vein, i just don't see a crash as long as demand is still there.

Buy land. God isn't making any more.

that much is true, but Number One Son is in the biz and i listen to what he has to say, as well as making the more obvious observations as above.

Me too, cynic, old bean.
Like the price of Pork Bellies, the short term could provide anything, but who would invest in the most illiquid of any assets for the short term???
Longer term;
The population rises, both home grown and through immigration. Therefore demand rises. Home ownership is the number one aspirational purchase in the UK. Availability of social housing decreases constantly. New stock on the market includes a new-build premium of at least 10%, forcing prices up. Supply is more difficult than usual as planning issues restrict development.
The doom merchants, and even those forecasting a soft landing base the forecast on short term economics, especially BofE and swap rates. Those who are actually supplying the money for the long term are offering lower rates for longer fixes. They think that this year will see the high water mark for rates, followed by a lowering to last years levels in the couple of years after.
Finally, we are seeing the first generation of 30 and 40 somethings benefitting from deceased parents leaving huge amounts of property value to smaller families than ever before. They are spending it on either their own dream property, or in helping their children to buy property. These all force prices up.
Medium and long term buy.

Alan .... history says you are right, though history is also known to be bunkum! ..... actually i agree with you and, even if prop prices do stagnate or even fall, it will not actually affect me to any great degree.
