New A secret about analysts on the tube
Analysts will often talk up stocks that important customers of theirs (or they) want to get out of. When dealing with money always ask yourself why the person who you are listening to is talking. Typically motivation matters far more than what is actually said.

Cheers,
Ben

New remember granville?
had a huge following back when and actually swerved the market at one point. Last heard from was running a janitorial business in this area.
1. Does the company sell something needed at a reasonable value?
2. Have they been doing this successfully for a while?
3. What is the long term sales effect for this product?
4. Buy into cheap liquor and those who sell discounted tobacco. Dont forget the basics.
5. People need food. What do poor people eat and what does Government assist on paying?
no big bonanzas but steady growth.
thanx,
Bill
