What shares are you taking a punt on that will either rocket or go bust?

The smart money is obviously in picking stable companies with strong management teams but what Slightly less safe companies that have suffered huge declines are you putting money on?

2 of my basket cases are : Capita and AA - I think there shareprices will either pop, or they will....

He who dares my son...

Very insightful. Useful contribution.

I will be looking at the discounts on some decent investment trusts, but not quite yet.

Cleaning companies should be quids in now onwards, I don't think anyone will forget the level of cleanliness we have had to achieve this month.

Could we see a whole host of developments in the better way to fight viruses, whether that be investment in cleaning technology or science.

Seen BWNG mentioned in a couple of threads now. How come it's so tempting? Just looks like a second rate fashion retailer to me.

Live Nation Entertainment -

Big players in the music industry, responsible for promotion, marketing, ticketing, live concerts etc.

Were around $72 pre covid, dropped to $22 day after Glastonbury got cancelled, now around $32.

These will easily get back to the $70 mark when the music industry returns to normality, which it will.

Double your moneysmile

Nice recommendation. I can imagine their fixed overheads are fairly low compared to many retailers. They will weather the storm.

Last week I went for PMO. A volatile oilie with a debt mountain and some recent questionable board decisions. What's not to like!
