Re: Sharing ideas with old friends Nothing wrong with having a plan Bravon, but it is very difficult forecasting what the market will do short term in any circumstances.I remember well the run up to the first Gulf War, markets where all over the place but generally down in anticipation of the possibility of a war and everyone was certain war would mean markets would crash - yet the day the shooting actually started the markets rocketed up - at the time the 2nd largest daily rise in the US, I believe . The thing that markets seem to dislike most seems to be uncertainty. It won't surprise me if the market jumps up immediately the result is known, whatever it is. Either way, I remain overweight in Equities and as always take the long term view having long since worked out my crystal ball doesn't work.For what it's worth, one of my biggest holdings is the tiddler Servision. Not as large as my holding in Fortune - but I expect it to be!Again, for what it is worth, Neil Woodford doesn't think investors should fear Brexit - and he seems better at this than I am.Good luck.

Bravon - Very interesting I think this is close to my thinking . Not sure the result is going to be safe to call even on the 22nd June

Sharing ideas with old friends Old habits die hard, and I looked-in here to find some of you still sharing ideas ! So here's my thought for the moment : We have a referendum due, and my bet is that the Market will get all wobbly sometime soon, so here is my personal strategy :1. I am selling all my solid UK stocks, ie those which will likely rise and fall with the Market trend, and I am becoming very liquid.2. I am holding the very speculative stuff, including the dogs, as these stocks will likely 'do there own thing' regardless of major market trends. As a result my portfolio will look pretty miserable for a while, but I will have a lot of cash.3. I am also holding anything not really related to the UK/EU situation ... eg my Vmotos, which are now ASX listed only, and have become my new ''FTO-type' project.4. Around 22nd June I will take a view on the Referendum result. If I think it's Remain, then I will buy-back into all my favourites just ahead of the result. If I think it's Brexit, then I may well sell everything else as well, as that will result in more uncertainty than we dare to think about, and the market will likely become a 'dog's dinner'. Then wait until the market bottoms out .... at around 3500 ??Controversial, I know, but clearly there's going to be an oportunity for smart investors to make money out of this one-time watershed event so, to participate, one needs a strategy. Otherwise you do nothing, cross fingers and become a victim. My thinking is that, whatever happens, one can't go too far wrong sitting with a cash pile through May/June.Anyway, my best once again to all of you ! B.

Re: CVR I have same from Barclays. Other stocks I'm in are, AFC, AGL*, CHA*, FBT, IGE, INSP, RENE, SAT*, SEA, SEE. I think SEA could be a loss, and the others are speculations. Those * are most recent.I also hold SKP which is about to merge with Vectura. That could be a good earner.Patrick K Murphy.

Re: FAIRWELL TO A GREAT BUNCH OF PI'S Farewell to all still here. The whole FTO situation leaves a bad smell to be honest. We were sold down the river.I've followed up a tip into Satellite Solutions (broadband coverage from satellites) which looks to have great potential. I was in at about 5p. It has touched 8p since the.All the best to you all and good luck www.pkstocks.20m.com is a site I run. (very old school).
