a real example of quality vs junk. Apple almost flat on the day after the amateurs gift it at 92. Amazon still drowning in it's own S&P. Cashflow actually means something in bad markets
Junk that's still up 25% in 6 months...whereas Apple down 20% in the same period...?walm said:
20:20 hindsight and all that but putting money you NEED for a house deposit in equities is pretty risky!
It is easy for me to say but I had a very hard conversation with some people I know very well who stupidly agreed to a house purchase based on a share valuation but chose to hold on to the shares until the day before exchange, when they suddenly realised that they were going to be £25k lighter than they thought based on the original figures.
People have little appreciation of risk. It's an intangible which we grossly under estimate. People know I trade for part of my living and always ask what to invest in. I don't give advice as I'm not authorised but always tell them if it were me I'd overpay my mortgage. They're are usually disappointed with that answer.
In terms of "tips", I'm interested into buying into GSK, although not yet.

My favourite is Thinking, Fast and Slow.
If people are unsure of the state of the Chinese economy seeing as the Western media is keeping quiet and the data from the Chinese Govt is bent then download this app:

Have a look at where the sudden spike in supply of 'look at me' gold watches has come from.
Lots of chaps in China and HK desperate for cash and the flogging of status trinkets is always a sign that the party is over.
I suspect the next few months could be defined by Asian wealth shifting back to the more secure Western markets.

Sorely tempted to buy more HSBC and Shell..... 
Yep, they are both high on my list. Just thinking about when I am brave enough to put money back into the market. In both cases I will be very happy if they can keep the dividend at the current levels even if there is limited scope for increases in the share prices.gregf40 said:

Classic case of comments on a graph by someone who doesn't understand graphs and has been very selective with his choice of data. In other words, complete rubbish. Gassing Station | Finance | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
