up to what price, though i fail to see what diff that makes? ..... any particular sector? ..... must it/they start with a particular letter or limit of syllables?

You choose.Simply name the better investments you are talking about providing EPICs & todays mid price.

Rattle off your best half dozen.

OK ... will do but first give me some time to catch up with real work at the office ..... may even add brief logic as to why the choice ..... will post on the FTSE thread, as prob better than here

OK fair enough if you need time.As long termers I like DGO & TLW...

DGO i don't know, but i also rate TLW, though i plumped for PMO instead

Oil & gas good sector to be invested in.DGO,PMO & TLW imo safe long term plays.

cynic I really enjoy reading your posts and have learnt a great deal from them but please note DGO has gone up 5% while you continue this discussion on PET,I thought we are here to make some money now not in 3/4 years.

as i said, i have no idea who DGO are .... and yes i agree re PET - just read! ..... by the way, AL. have not done so badly this either!!

Good morning cynic, re my post 557 I wasn't suggesting that I would hang on to PET because I had sold HTV too early, HTV was just 1 of a few examples I could have chosen, the reason I am hanging on to PET is that I believe there is considerable upside to come. I have 'lost' 40p as you say, twice actually but I can live with that, we are all here to make money but 'what is it they say' don't play the market if you cannot afford to lose the money invested.. Good luck all.

2517,agree with you.Holding PET for expected contract announcements will imo see high upside potentially beating the socks off trading in & out of shares.Risk to reward.Traders on MoneyAM no doubt will tell us different.lol

If you beleive that PET is one of 5 companies who will have contract confirmed now is a good time to be holding.My prediction chart breakout is not that far away.Downtrend there to be broken lol.imho

lex .... a brief post for the moment on FTSE thread for you

'Chart breakout' - 'not far away', based on what exactly?

happy new year Peter! ..... i assume you are becoming cynic's doppelganger!

HNY Richard :)

I have been somewhat dubious re PETs chance of success for quite some time, well, a few years actually. The latest ramp managed to puff the SP to nearly 160p when the inevtiability of gravity took over. The second rise to 160p was actually a great shorting opportunity for anyone watching the MACD divergence, suffice to say I wasn't watching :(

Where it goes now I have no idea from a TA perspective it's difficult to say, but range bound would be my best guess. Of course there will be news at some stage which will move it one way or another. Still wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, but each to their own.

oh you waspish old tart you!

Less of the old!!

it's all relative!

ok lex .... have done as promised on FTSE thread and even filled in the blanks as to the logic for my choices ..... there are also 3/4 alternates which i have not (yet?) expanded

Thin volume so far, but some trades are going through above the offer price, any significance in this I wonder.
