It’s not often you get to talk to genuine telly star, but hey, we’re iBall.
Scott Huggins is the co-presenter of BBC Two’s Get a New Life. He is also a successful property investor as the CEO of London-based Intrepid Investments (www.intrepidinvestments.com)
We Britons are obsessed with our properties so it’s with great pleasure we bring you the first of our quarterly updates from iBall’s resident property expert.
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

iBall - The City without a suit
Heavens! A crunch has become chaos and carnage and the market only seems to go one way –meltdown. Perhaps, it is not the best time in the world to be cheerfully giving investment ideas, given it’s so difficult to pick anything out of all of this mess. Just look at our portfolio.
At times like this there’s only one thing left to do when times are so hard. Have a laugh, dammit, that’s what.
So look no further for some brand new shows and some brand new laughs.
