Re: Risk of owning expensive shares Some fundamental figuresE 28.6, projected PE 23, EPS growth -4.39% projected yield 1.63%.Not a lot of incentive to hold this share if it does not grow as yield below average.

Risk of owning expensive shares This article by Phil Oakley, a well known analyst that have a lot of respect for, looks at risk of owning shares with high PE etc. Of concern is that HLMA is featured. HLMA has fallen a worrying 12.4% this year to yesterdays close. It has gone from one my best performing shares to indifferent.[link] me it is of particular concern as some of my largest holdings featured in analysis e.g. ABF & ARM.I hope markets improve so that these high PE shares once again outperform based on anticipated future profit growth.I'll put a weak sell view to stir up some comments but I am, at least for the moment holding.

Re: Uncharted heights Surely this charge upwards must come to an end soon, even if just for a breather. I'm somewhat tempted to sell half and run the rest at these levels. But....greed is an invidious trait and I don't want to miss out on any more profit! I'll set my target to sell at £9 because at this level there must surely be some pull back, if we get there, all well and good, if not.....damn!

Re: Uncharted heights Hardboy,"there's no where else on iii that we have that."Try the BP board, m8. Great knockabout stuff there, and occasionally some stuff relevant to BP if you have it or are interested in it.LKH on the flybridge

Re: Uncharted heights Apologies to other posters as LKH & I seem to have drifted off topic somewhat.Like you I've not visited the Tesco BB for a while - like you I lost interest a sector with such very low margins & high competition. In some ways it is a shame as the Tesco BB became more than just a BB about Tescos and its sector but about the wider economy, investment options, government policy etc. All good stuff, and there's no where else on iii that we have that.Congratulations on making the top 20. I don't keep an eye on that really, just found it of interest when I first discovered it. Onwards & upwards. Top 10 next week.Keep up the good posts.

Re: Uncharted heights Hardboy,Ah, no, I've just popped over to the Tesco board (haven't been there is a while ever since I lost interest in large supermarkets as an investment having lost a goodly chunk of wedge in Tesco LOL) and Hardcore is still posting away like a good 'un.LKH on the flybridge did you notice that I'm up to number 20 on the ii Top of the Pops?

Re: Uncharted heights Hardboy,Hardcore seems to have gone rather quiet of late .... doubtless the fact that gold has not been performing in accordance with his predictions has summat to do with it.LKH on the flybridge

Re: Uncharted heights I thought maybe you'd heard Hardcore Uproar had a contract out on me or something similar. )Is he still saying gold is a great investment?)

Re: Uncharted heights "New director appointment seems to be the catalyst for today's rise"And markets up generally.I must say I'm surprised at markets' reaction to the Paris terrorism.

Re: Uncharted heights Really are pushing onwards and upwards. Still no sign of LG - please send her my best if anyone finds her! New director appointment seems to be the catalyst for today's rise, more quality added to the stable.
