UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 8 2 2008
Ones
to Buy
Ridge
Mining
Platinum
mining operator Ridge Mining is in the process of working
up two new sites in its favoured location, South Africa.
Mining is always risky but the share price is weak at present
and platinum is currently in strong demand worldwide - good
potential, reckons the Mail on Sunday.
National
Grid
Troubled
times call for safe havens - and you don't get much safer
than the National Grid. "Low-risk potential" makes
the shares look cheap, says The Times.
ITM
Power
ITM
Power floated with the promise of developing commercially-viable
hydrogen fuel cells. Their success has been mixed to date,
but there is no doubting that the political and commercial
climate is right for the product. A speculative investment
for anyone interested in alternative fuels, says The Independent.
PZ
Cussons
The
makers of the famous Imperial Leather soap aren't cheap
but remain at a discount to their sector - and their size
should make them a reasonably safe bet. Buy, says The Times.
Ones
to Avoid
Robert
Wiseman
This
northern-based competitor to Dairy Crest has the advantage
of being almost debt free and consequently cash generative.
However, a rise of 30% in the share price since August and
above-sector average 2008 P/E ratio of 15 means that it's
time to take profits - The Times.
Oakdene
Homes
This
south-eastern house builder turned a 53% drop from its peak
share price into a 70% fall when it made public a profit
warning this week. No evident upside, so sell - The Independent.
Alliance
& Leicester
It's
pretty much all bad news for the mortgage lender at present
- with the prospect of ever more dodgy debt hanging over
the company. Dividend hopes aside, you should avoid A&L,
says The Times.
