Stocks come up through many routes. I may read an RNS that catches my eye, I may have put a company on my 'recovery list' and I notice changes. Someone may mention a stock online that I then look at - not every stock I buy is from original thought of mine and often someone may just say something that triggers me into looking. Undoubtedly the best and most rewarding route is just looking for companies where few are interested. When I used to go on ADVFN I used to actively look for the threads where there were few to no posts in months - you can be pretty sure that stocks that get talked about very little have far less sizzle and hype and are more likely to be undervalued imo.
So it's a range of things or just sometimes seeing a co name or ticker and just thinking - let's have a good look.
Rebel how do you go about actually looking for and hunting shares /companies to invest in? Do you have regular, consistent method or source? Or is it just a case of generally looking around, maybe online or in publications and seeing what you can find ?
Love the down to earth thinking particularly compared with so much fluff and generalisations coming from the media. My sense is that Defense… yes Avon but possibly RR and BAe as Labour and Europe are committed. Then , where do we find UK hardware or software cos benefiting from the AI boom?
Thanks Cockney for this considered piece. But are you sure about the fall in numbers of illegal inmigrants? I am suspicious that Starmer will be flying them in.
Alot of sense here but not sure how starmer saves money by a few less 'illegal' immigrants in boats. Its not illegal to come here seeking asylum. The whole of the NHS and alot of blue collar industries are held up by immigrants and foreigners.
I'm not getting into the political debate but illegal and legal migration together amount to 750k p.a. We build 250k houses a year. So the houses we build don't even cover migration numbers, so how you solve that one is reduce migration or build more houses. Houes-builders won't and can't flood the market with houses no matter what a government says.
Illegal migration costs £6bn a year - not much in the bigger scheme of things but here is a party that said it wouldn't raise the 2 child benefit cap because it costs £1.2bn a year. Choices.
There lies the rub - like every household - when you can't cover your bills you need to cut your spending like the little things, a pint down the pub, a daily newspaper, the extras on your Sky news package. You look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves.
Theres many things that have cost the country/taxpayer money that could have been put to better use. Shady PPE contracts, Rwanda planes, a disastrous HS2 project (2.3bn wasted). But agreed, we shouldn't politicise this forum so agree to disagree. Thanks for the useful share/market related info though rebel. Always an insightful read and helps me no end.
Yes at a massive cost to the existing occupants in terms of housing need, rentals and general pressure on infrastructure. One in thirty people walking the streets of the UK arrived in the last two years. No amount of virtue signalling can justify this. It is a form of "soft" genocide

Excellen, that's pretty much my approach now but I like your ADVFN forum method, great idea. Thanks alot rebel..
a pleasure
agree and thank you.
Who know what happens, both major parties are too wrapped up in party dogma.
I fear the longer it's an issue, the uglier it ends.

Final paragraph sums it all up for me
Which has always puzzled me with the number of jobs unfilled by the Brits. I wonder why?
Because they are too lazy to do any hard work...
