Anyone fancy making a quick buck buy some shares in a house builder call taylor whimpy.they are at about 36p each and are a real bargin at the min..you may have to keep them til jan but this should come good. In 2007 they cost £5.25 each so got tobe a good deal now.

Regards Graham.

 

Hmmm, I somehow don't think I'll be investing in the building industry. I'm sorry, but I'm out!

 

So, why are they a good tip then?

 

Because they were worth loads a couple of years back, now theyre worth fuck all they MUST be worth loads again soon.

Obviously.

 

Ahhh, right, is that how shares work

 

or they go bust

 

or he's just seen trading places

 

itsd hard to buy shares, i was trying to look into it other day but all i want to do is phone up and buy some on my debit card, sadly dont think its that simple lol

 

good tip based on not even getting the company name right?

Oh and the highest they have been in the last 5yrs is £3.93?

 

 

true dat.



iii user consensus seems to say different to the OP.

Never take a tip from anyone.
Always do your own research.
Don't invest anymore than you can afford to lose.

 

Exactly my point broadmoor, FAR too many people "dabble" in shares, and have little understanding of what causes prices to rise and fall.... I know a tiny tiny amount, and as such just don't have the information I need to make a successful investment.

It is VERY worrying how many people operate on a "buy, hold and prey" policy, knowing very little about what they are investing in, with no investor control at all, or any form of exit strategy if things go well or badly!

However, I would be genuinely interested to hear the OP's reasons on why the tip/ company is such a good investment, have you got some inside info?

 

I have a mate working in aylesbury on one of their sites, they are frantically building. All sold. 400 more going up on the adjacent field too, starting them before feb. They are busy, but selling them is the key I guess?

I dont know if this affects the shares much

 

what's the law on insider trading?

 

As far as aware it is illegal to use or offer information that may affect the share price in either direction, but we all know that insider trading goes on all the time, and the IPO's etc are all bent as fuck As ever, it is not what you know but who

 

At 36p this is a very cheap share and will be going up very soon.

 

Read Broadmoor's post - There is a very good reason why they're so cheap.

Just because they're cheap now doesn't mean that they're going to be a good investment, unless you've discovered some BIG news about the company?

According to Wikipedia -

"In July 2008 Taylor Wimpey announced it was experiencing a 'significant downturn' in its major markets[9] and as a result it would close 13 of its 39 regional offices. With a debt of £1.7bn, lenders were also insisting on disposal of Taylor Woodrow Construction after Taylor Wimpey failed to raise £500m in capital.[10] When it was learnt that the Company could not raise new capital share prices plummeted more than 50%."

Even with my limited grasp of the building trade - it's going to take a LOT of houses for for the company to start being a viable proposition surely?

 

TW have been good to trade, but I'm not excited about having them as a long term hold.

 

i'd rather pump all my money into a zombie hedgefund

or buy quality property now at cheap money needing renovation while the market shows signs of recovery,i think its 5/6 months in a row in my area house prices have risen.

 

Have you bought some and are worried they're going down, therefore are trying to 'ramp' them?

 

I think i'll sit tight and wait for that crop report from Beaks.

 

You could also invest in toast with crusts on

 

As a certain Mr Albert Einstein once said " I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of men", after he lost a fortune on the shares of the south sea trading company

 

remeber when folk said this about buying shares in northern rock, look what happened to them. know loads of folk who went out and bought them and lost thousands.was speaking to some one who works for the halifax last week, they were gonna cash their company shares in a couple of years ago at a value of £55k to pay their mortgage off fully,wife talked him out of it and now they are worth £3k!!

 

Take it you’re about to be laid off, if not going by your spelling you’ve bought shares in some interesting companies

 

more complex than that i'm afraid... have had to do ao course on it for work but i really can't be arsed to try and explain it all!

 

My best mate worked in Finance for Taylor Wimpey.......he left for pastures new because he likes not having to worry about having a job to come into.........that wasnt very long ago either.

 

i work in the building trade for w.a.browne and we worked on loads of wimpey site's all over the uk and they did actually go bust not long ago thats why they merged with taylor woodrow who were bryant homes who went bust too so its not such a good idea really we have not had any work from wimpeys for ages now and they say there gonna go mad in march next year but i cant see it so dont be fooled

 

funnily enough, when halifax/abbey/santander shares were worth loads, they sent out letters to my folks to get shot at a good rate

my mum flogged hers the enxt day

but my dad waited a few months and they'd dropped by a sizeable margin in that time, enough to make a few grands worth of difference

had the same when they floated our company, although there was a bit of a calamity in that we were given a thousand shares ever few years as some sort of loyalty bonus so when the float came, we'd be quids in

i got £8k but if i'd started 15 months earlier, i would have got £26k

but what was a bit devious was that the heads of the departments were given shares to dish out as they pleased, and one fine head of department decided she didn't want to give any out at all, and "earned" a cool £600k out of them

her team wern't best pleased and she left a few weeks later

 

I know fuck all about shares.

Quite a few years ago I bought 10k in Millwall for my dad at 1p each thinking "They'll never go down" So I bought 10k for myself even though I detest football. It was also around the time Ginger Productions was being sold [Danny baker made millions from the sale and is a massive Millwall fan...].

About a month later they ceased trading or suspended them [or whatever the jargon is]

When they started them again they went down to about 0.5p

That was it in the share market for me

Actually, anyone find out what they're worth now as we still have them??

 

0.02p.

 

How is that even possible???

Anyway, I'm off to stick a few grand in these building shares

 

Lol, that is honestly one of the worst percentage losses I've heard about... and I've made a good few mistakes.

You should write a book: How to turn £10000 into £200 in one easy step.

 

I feel honoured And it was only £100 [well £200 if you include mine ]

THIS however actually made me laugh out loud... 0.02p:



BUT LOOK CLOSELY

 

FPMSL! Not the best of signs.

 

but they have been on the rise in the past fwe weeks mate

 

RBS too... nice return over the last month .

 

Fuck yeah! 0.0187 up to 0.02!!!

Where's Maria when you want to start ordering a new Porsche??

It would seem I'm not in such an exclusive club.

There's clueless fuckwits everywhere

 

that genuinely made me laugh out loud, what a film!
