    Investments

    1. Do any of you hold a large lump of your warchest in shares? Not via a SIPP, ISA etc..
    2. How long does it take you to decide what to invest in?
    3. Do you exit once you have made a certain %age profit? To take the profit, even if the share seems to be on an upward trend.

    Been stung badly in the passed and only bought a few shares recently.

    Currently have a smallish amount in Lloyds and Tesco.

    Any other share tips that you see coming good in the medium term?

    Good day for Lloyds today, back in the black.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    London property 'innit. Only ever goes up.

    Why invest in anything else?

                  Bit of a high entry-point though. Or can you buy 'shares' in housing - does that happen?

                    Made a fair amount recently in British Gas .. bought at £12.11 and currently up around the £15.00 mark - looking to pull the plug around the years high of £15.64

                    Shells often mooted interest in acquiring BG may be fanciful but would be around the £18 @share mark
