Now is the time to buy shears....

Hmm shears .... I've heard rumours that there could be further cuts to come from these, so they are a dodgy proposition at best.

My advice is to invest in stairs .... It may be a long haul to the top, but if you tread carefully then there shouldn't be any tumbling down to worry about. Beware of spiralling stair cases, however.

Hmmm if the FSA aren't interested in Rab Peston's market making, or more accurately destroying, news I reckon a poke discussionr site will get away with  it. Anyhoo.... the only solid advice vis a vis equities is examine the company in question's balance sheet. Look for bugger all debt ( esp no reliance on overdrafts....) and steady-ish revenue. I can't actually think of a FTSE 250 share that meets that criteria right now but I'm sure they're out there....

Snoopy I've been watching oil service sector stocks and have been dying to get back in, they are heavily discounted over recent years (my favs are about 1/3 of their 52 week high). However I think that for once the majority of market analysts are agreed on market projections: 'We don't know where things are going'.
Many of these oil sector stocks have outstanding fundamentals and by that measure seem quite good value, but since they are stocks they are yoked to the performance of markets as a whole and many are agreeing that there is a fairly reasonable chance of the whole world facing one big financial crisis like never seen before. There is just no way I'd want to be getting into stocks with that kind of uncertainty.

Unsure what folk mean by 'over/undervalued' in relation to many other stocks in any case, especially gaming stocks and new economy stocks. Most of their price is based on hype and sentiment, not on revenue projections (sooo last century). When funds buy into these they are betting that the sentiment, not the revenues, will increase.

Google badly overvalued even back in 05. A bad buy?
