northern rock shares

[Tubs]

I was watching the price and did think there would be a possible profit, but I think that they've lost too much confidence from their depositors. I think the only chance is if there is a buyout, but that won't happen until the current storm blws over and I don't think will be for much over 260. Still, if you've got money o burn -

mate of mine gave me the idea, Ive never looked at stuff like this before, he stuck £10k in at 277 this morning and reckons leaving it long term he will get a return    

its got me thinking and Ive followed the link david posted all day   and this afternoon they dropped to 246 , and at 5.07 they were at 336, If Id brave enough to chuck £40k in for a couple of hours work this would have left a sizeable reward surely, watching the way things were fluctuating up and down you could only win or loose very little or  am I missing something

yep, you are missing the fact that you currently have 20/20 hindsight. NR shares could have plummeted into penny shares from 246 due to all kinds of reasons (as opposed to risen to 336).

The best investors, invest in sure things.

(for "invest", you can also read "gambl" with a little spelling license).

If you have a couple of G's spare (Top draw on your right) , might worth a shot.

I had a go a couple of years ago and trebled my money, I only put a grand in so didn't make a great deal, but obviously, if you stick in 3 or somthing, the rewards get better.

I had a tip off mind that made the decision a bit easier.

am I right in thinking that you could buy one minute and sell the next if the price shot up as it did today

Just remember... most tip-offs are deliberately organised as such... boss tells staff, staff tell friends... share price engineering.

Don't forget you will end up paying commission along the way somewhere      

Think of stocks as similar to walking into the betting shop - sometimes you back a winner and others you lose your shirt - as noted before don't spend what you aren't prepared to lose - if it comes off is a bonus     if it doesn't then so be it

is there a saying... a fool and his money soonest parted

You can put up your shares to sell, but someone obviously has to buy them.

Mine sold within hours no problems. The amount of people who log on, you shouldn't have any issues. You would want a nice steady rise before putting them up for sale. If there moving up and down viloently, someone might buy them when there low

That happened to my boss who gave me the tip  I sold just before he did at pretty much the right time (when my balls shrank).

I'm not a stockbroker mind so could be talking balony! and probably am.

Correct, customer tells salesman, salesman tells me, I buy shares in his customer.

depends...normally, the quicker the response, the higher the price.

When you register with a stockbroker like TD Waterhouse, at the time of buying/selling you are quoted a price, you have something like 5 seconds (you can see the clock ticking) to accept or decline the deal.

About 8 years ago I had a quite good run, which virtually paid for my Westy, BUT you have to accept the rough with the smooth, and I still have some shares that are worth less than I paid for em' but overall I'm well up  

It's your money, only you can decide wether to GAMBLE or not.
