It is one of those annoying securities that is always 'telephone only' on my cfd account meaning the minimum bet was higher than I had the margin to cover!<br /><br />So I opted for going long Exxon Mobil, with the intention of getting into another Us energy major on the next dip, but ended up going long Lockheed Martin for some reason, which is nursing a bit of a loss now.<br /><br />Looks like my C@W 2010 proedictions of S&P500 up and England to beat Pakistan are in the bag though, so I'm expecting another good write up!Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-29024122787481038722010-12-12T00:44:43.562+00:002010-12-12T00:44:43.562+00:00Richard.

Last year I was in commercial property was the winner for me. Just follow the opportunities. I think it is a good way to make your money do more than in the bank but I started with small amounts and took a few years to learn the ropes.CityUnslickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929544047783163175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-17517386153035439252010-12-11T23:34:01.962+00:002010-12-11T23:34:01.962+00:00Do you mind if I ask how you are judging these sto...Do you mind if I ask how you are judging these stocks?<br /><br />you seem to favour oil/energy, are you involved in the business and have some kind of inside knowledge or you're purely making these decision based on publically available info?<br /><br /><br />I ask because my brother wants to get into this. I advised him against because I said its very unlikely he is going to be able to judge the market better than the professionals.<br />But he think cash in the bank is such a waste he still wants to do something..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-90428595333555646502010-12-11T05:20:55.441+00:002010-12-11T05:20:55.441+00:00Any thoughts on coal?
