I also think that a counter offer may appear

Agreed - think I'm going to sit on them for the moment. Thanks again for the tip Also just bought some XTR - supposed to be going places quite soon, but we'll see.

If the Ophir bid is accepted for DPL do you automatically have the shares bought off you for 5.9?

As I understand you will receive shares in Ophir and not get a cash option

Do not sell for a long time unless you need the money now!

What tips do you guys have to offer to get into share dealing?

I'm 22, and have a some cash set aside that I would like to invest in stocks and shares.

Currently I have a spread bet account, with CMC Markets that I have used for over a year and have made a small profit on. However I presume you guys are actually buying/selling via a broker?

I have an account with i-Web share dealing, but haven't really used it. I use Share Cast and shareprice.co.uk to read up on the markets and get current prices. I have a share save with my employer, but other than that I have no experience of this.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated, as I want to ease into gently and understand the workings of it before investing seriously.

Tesco down over 15% today, wonder if it is worth buying a few while they are down at this level or maybe there is some more to drop. I think they issued warnings on future profit as well, which could be an indicator that they have more to fall....

Gkp are doing ever so well, thank you colonel, didn't sell but didn't buy anymore, small profit will find the new bike I recently bought! May hang onto them a bit more though

DO NOT SELL YOUR GKP SHARES YET!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally up about £15k on GKP and even DPL are over 7.5p which is good as I got in at 5.63p

Plenty more potential on GKP but a lot of games will be played out over the coming months, if you need the money then take a profit but if not sit back and bite your finger nails.......

Even Encore have moved over to Premier now so better potential. Am down £5k on these but long term should be fine.

Seem to be in quite a safe price range, I would hold personally as fuel prices are only going one way.

DPL is still worth a punt if you are prepared to hold for a few years.

At one point I was losing about £30k and that felt pretty shit, I knew things would turn round though and now well in profit.

I knew I should have bought more at the low prices 6 months ago but you have to draw the line somewhere.

A profits a profit, it's easy to be greedy.

should i get some more....thats the million dollar question

If you are prepared to hold for a while but I think you may get some at £2.50 if you watch and wait, plenty of ups and downs to come.

I am not buying anymore, have a house to pay for.

I see Tesco as a good buy, they have had massive downturn due to uk results when people forget the majority of their business is emerging markets. They are very well positioned to make alot of money this summer in London to boost uk sales. The funny thing is Sainsburys had pretty much the same increases but reporting it is a different matter. JS have invested heavily in extending stores and refreshing 'tarting up' existing, which increases sales and can be included in like for like sales figures. Tesco have gone for the new space, new store route which cannot be included in like for like sales comparison. Buy now would be my call

[Bungle009]

[335iLondon]
