    How long is a piece of string !?

    Dotcom crash time I set my buy back in figure at 4000 but then lost my bottle. The banks are the ones my mate was most worried about, so even if they are paying 7% divi ( and rising ) best avoid them. If your steady cash cow companies such as Shell, BP, Unilever etc get equally battered then I don't think they have the same chance of becoming a basket case and it's those I'd be looking to buy. If we have a proper recession then it's probably better buying nowt for a good while.
