I don't offer individual advice Bric. Three reasons.
One, is that I am neither qualified nor regulated to do so in the eyes of the law.
Two, is that if you advise correctly, no one ever remembers, and if you advise wrongly, no one ever forgets. So I don't.
Three, is that I don't know your personal circumstances. I'd not want anyone gambling the mortgage on a stock. Look at Raj's example. Always view it as money you may never get back. Comfortable with that risk? Even Blue Chips can bit ethe dust.
Blot is also a touch succesfull in the share markets. If he offers advice, I'd listen.
I don't mind highlighting certain areas which you can turn a profit on, and i did on the thread on the old site, but I'd never name individual companies.
Good luck anyone who tries it
