Most volatile stock of the last few days is Connaught. Three days of massive drops on the back of the budget from last week. The shelving of certain local authority contracts will massively impact this company. But this drop seems over done and now the company is prime for a takeover.

This is all based on 'what may happen'.

I've got (quite a few) quid in Rockhopper (RKH) and in since November. Bought at 66, 180 and 220 with an average of 116. Also had a £4k punt on FOGL at 200p which will either be multiples up or 50% down within the fortnight. I still think this is only the start for the Falklands oil players. Here's the original thread. By the way, has anyone seen Eternal Optimist?

Interesting to think the FTSE 100 is at about the same level as it was in June 1997.

Anyone who thinks the stock market is going to make them wealthy is in for a shock.

Yell is down to 25 and has been bouncing between 25 - 30. I believe a buy
BP is still an avoid.
Lloyds is looking interesting. 100 point drop on the FTSE today, Lloyds is up. At 55 this is a buy.
Standard Life is around 178, down 2 today. Over 6.5% dividend, anything less than 180 is a buy with it's trading range of 175 - 195.
Aquarius platinum is also following the FTSE. At 360 today, it is trading within 360 - 400. So is also a buy today.

Any other recommendations?

Sure? It's been tracking 55-70 since Jan. This stock is not going up any time soon. Their prolly sitting on top of a load of toxic assets from Greece and Spain, and that's why investors are staying away.

Even if they aren't yet I wouldn't bet on them being made another offer they cannot refuse ala Botulipe.

LLoyds I've been buying and selling at around 53p to 60p. Slowly building up "free" shares. Ie buying 100 at the lower price selling 90 at the higher price for same amount of money. PS just an example I'm buying far higher volumes.

Bought CNT at 135, they're still falling!!!!

I shouldn't do this for legal reasons, but I have one word for you: Tulip's. Fillyaboots, it can't go wrong.

I've also go my eye on a company that trades in Latin America called South Sea.

Don't worry about dips in the price, its just market makers shaking the tree. Fill yer boots and average down...
