Anybody thinking of investing or have any views on if they will be worth a punt? don't fancy putting all my savings for this year into an ISA as the return is dire at under 2%. I have made a few quid in shares in the past but I only dabble, my last success being Royal Mail.

its reportedly over subscribed so share price may be set high but shows demand.
we have an aging population.
they are the fav of the old crusties (the majority of friends and family have used / use saga).
imo, their look to increase revenue from health etc looks viable

but some bigwig is moving to non-exec director soon so may just be trying to get another £80 mil before he buggers off and prospective 2.5 ish dividends isn't fantastic

I've applied for £3k as I think it will do well and if not, the wifes car will have to wait a bit smile
