ive been looking for a few years and have a watchlist i keep a eye on. I have friends that have invested with varying results.

Asked a few customers in high positions for tips and always got the 'insider trading' line.

No, not yet, but they are in financial difficulties, had an emal from our credit reference agency last week.

Hi,how did you get on with the shares ? I buy and sell in small amounts, I wanted to get in on BP around the 300 mark but didn't have the cash spare due to a house move.
