Just feel free to put down any share/shares you feel will do well in 2015 and future years.

i wouldn't touch Boohoo with a bargepole, nor Koovs, and i think there are a couple of others similar where the directors stuff their wallets but no one else

Shire tempts me, for it's a damn good company
it's a real heavyweight and remarkably volatile, so difficult to judge an entry point

Lloyds i now hold and ditto RBS

=============

do you or anyone else know any good robotics companies with strong R&D?

miners remain worryingly weak, primarily because of weak chinese demand for steel - the key indicator

the equipment we buy is primarily made from stainless steel
while accepting the $ is comparatively strong at the moment and that the chinese continue to over-produce, ignoring market conditions, prices have fallen from about $27,000 about 5 years ago, to just over $20,000 within the last 12 months, and currently <$16,000

eventually this will turn around - look to indian expansion - but until that time, assuredly stick to just top drawer and diversified stocks like BLT and RIO

if motley is to be half-way believed - what's the track record like? - this one's certainly very interesting notwithstanding that it's a real heavyweight

however, the spread is small and the margin for CFDs a reasonable 10%
