The old cliché has it that as far as the stockmarket is concerned one should go away in May and come back again on St Leger Day. What? And miss out on all the fun? Reeling retailers. Broken banks. Crunching credit. There’s so much more than mere capital accumulation, yield and dividend. Not only are there bargains out there but also more than the odd laugh. Click on the portfolio to see how our writers have got on against the market.

Hi Steve, for the first time I have to say the interview was as good as it can get? Scott was open and upfront and also spot on and I didn’t even care about Susan being there. Sorry Sue!
I have been saying property was over priced nearly 7-10 years ago in some areas of Hertfordshire and indeed I made some profit out of the market - infact I could gloat and say I cleared a nearly 80% margin in 7 years; if it had not been for the people who bought the property from me which had it for 5 and made well over 100%. Still I have backed the stock/equity market ever since and hey “what a ride”. Equities and yields are looking so favourable at the moment. I’m nearly fully committed. Interest rates are set to fall along with property and Gilts/Bonds stocks and shares are looking quite colourful once again.
Steve, regarding interesting companies to report on - I could go on a bit. I think viewers want to hear about the more well known stocks. (I did not know how many well known brands RBS has under it’s hat, thanks to iBall I’m now a big investor in this Co.) Premier Foods, Misys, Arm, DSGi, Taylor Wimpy, Standard Life, Psion, Tate & Lyle & Home Retail are amoungest some of the reasonably priced companies with good future growth/value upside and worth a report on.
All the best to the team and have a Great Christmas and New Year! Let it be a profitable one?
Peter
