Stocks and Shares Tips

[Digger]

Have just got that other tip from my friend in Bristol, its infact a gas company and he says its highly volatile so I personally wont be investing the name was LNGA. DES are doing well should continue to rise as we get closer to February and then the drilling should begin

Now that is sooooo funny!!!!......LMFAO

Yeah I know bit of a contradiction I guess, I know Oil's just as bad don't worry. Its more because of the source (person who tipped me) its came from to be honest. I don't think its as reliable as the source I got for DES.

Huuummmmm.....I think you miss my point or humour

[pedant]Inaccurate science joke as only liquids are volatile (and some solids that sublimate, like dry ice).[/pedant]

When they sell to Kraft, will the chocolate turn into Cheese Slices, bit worried there.

Hi

I was just wanting to ask a Question to people that have bought shares before.


I know you can just go to my HSBC store and ask to buy shares.
The price of the shares are only an indication price for that day.
She said to me that the excution date will be 4th Feburary.
Does that mean I will get x amount of shares at "Best price" on the 4th of Feburary or the best price up to 4th of Feb?

Quinny should know the answer to this, I'll give him a ring.

Hi, I have an online HSBC investment account, when I purchase shares on that, they are executed within the next 15 minutes. So whatever the price is at the second of execution is the price I pay.


I know people who have gone in and purchased over the counter and get a price based within the next hour or so, I've never heard that you purchase them and they dont execute til 4th Feb. Thats ridiculous! Imagine if in the meantime the company goes bust....it doesnt add up.

I would phone HSBC and check this out as it doesnt seem right, if this is their way of doing it, I would go somewhere else. You need to know what you are buying at what price. The share price by 4th Feb is anticipated to be a lot higher than it is at the minute, even by end of next week it is expected to be 130p - 140p.

Let me know what they say, I cant believe this is correct.

Thanks thought it sounded abit odd but was inexperienced and thought this was the standard. Will try and sought it out tomorrow

[paulhouk03]

woops got confused with the settlement date and the execution date.

sorry.

Also worth looking at company CNE for a comparrison, they were 45p few years back and now £30+ ...Desire is alot bigger!!

Great buy, potential for huge gains, also worth taking a look at this forum for more information http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:DES.L&display=discussion&it=le

good luck anyone investing!!

I have no opinion on Desire as an investment as I have done no research - it has been on my 'to do' list for ages, but I'm lazy.  However:

1. DES is bigger than CNE?  Really???  I thought it was the other way round, to the tune of £4 billion plus.  In oil company terms DES is a pimple on a gnat's backside, with all the potential upside and downside that goes with that.

2. Anyone who looks to iii or (God help us all) advfn for anything resembling a sensible or knowledgeable discussion is going to be sadly disappointed.  ADVFN is full of 12 year old rampers/derampers with IQ's less than their age.  The interesting discussions on oil E&P companies used to be on The Motley Fool, but the main protagonists have now moved to stockopedia.

How deep is the water where Desire intend to drill their 14 (14!! ) wells?  How much will that cost?  How are they going to finance it?  What seismic info are they working from?  What happens if the first two wells that they have farmed out fail?  I accept that there are probably large reserves in the area, but what if it will not flow in economic quantities?  Do they have any other prospects or is this a one shot deal?  Etc, etc, etc.  The case for investment is, being as charitable and as polite as I can be, not yet made in this thread. 

Do your own research, folks, as otherwise this is a punt not an investment.

Would anyone like to buy shares in this high horse of mine?  As always, my advice is worth exactly what you have paid for it.

How much for the high horse?
