UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 30/11/2007
Ones
to Buy
Interior
Services Group (ISG)
In the
last two years, ISG have expanded from simply fitting out
London office space to offering a much more comprehensive
and international service. The benefits of this are starting
to feed through to the company's balance sheet and investors
would be wise to get in now as the stock seems cheap. Buy,
suggests the Mail on Sunday.
PayPoint
PayPoint
make machines which allow people to perform cash transactions
for which they used to have to go to the Post Office. From
TV licenses to prepay utilities to the London congestion
charge, PayPoint's machines swallow up cash and deal with
your bills. An indicator of their success in penetrating
this market is that they now process more cash transactions
than the Post Office. On just 18 times earnings, these shares
look good value. Buy, says The Telegraph.
Petra
Diamonds
Diamond
producer Petra is about to take a 37% stake in the Cullinan
diamond mine, with an option to expand this to 60%. The
deal will also give them access to another as yet untapped
resource below the existing mine - meaning that Petra should
be able to maintain their position in the world's top 10
diamond producers for many years to come. Buy, suggests
The Independent.
New
Star
Fund
manager New Star was a stock market favourite when it floated
in 2005 - but this week its share price slipped below its
flotation price. Despite concerns over the performance of
some of its funds, more than half are performing ahead of
benchmark and the shares look oversold - buy, says The Telegraph.
Ones
to Avoid
Severn
Trent
Britain's
second-largest water company is currently facing prosecution
by the Serious Fraud Office for misreporting data on leaks
between 2000 and 2002. It looks certain that the company
will be heavily fined - although how heavily is uncertain.
Given that Severn Trent's shares are currently 300p above
this year's low, now is a good time to take profits, says
The Times.
Psion
Disappointing
performance in the US market is adding to the UK tech company's
woes - resulting in its share price continuing its downward
slide. Psion's hopes are pinned on a new, rugged smart phone
that can be dropped on the ground without breaking - but
it seems unlikely that they will gain enough large-scale
corporate customers for this to lift them very far. Sell,
says The Independent.
