UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 31 Oct 2008
Ones
to Buy
United
Utilities
United
Utilities shares currently have a prospective dividend yield
of 5.8% and are trading at an 8% premium to its asset base.
Despite this, now is a good time to buy into such a safe,
defensive stock, reckons The Telegraph.
Imperial
Tobacco
Currently
trading at 11 times earnings and at a discount to its rivals
BAT, Imperial Tobacco should provide safe haven for investors.
Apparently no one has stopped smoking because of the credit
crunch. Buy, recommend the Independent and the FT.
Et-China
Et-China
specialises in organising tours to southern China. It's
had some bad news but is a serious player in a potential
boom market. Following a recent 23% fall in its share price,
The Independent reckons you should buy on weakness.
Ones
to Avoid
Moss
Bros
The
Independent suggests that Moss Bros is the best of a bad
bunch thanks to operating at the upper end of the market.
However, it sees mostly downside risk to the retail sector
and suggests that you sell even Moss Bros unless you need
retail stocks. Avoid, says The Independent.
M&C
Saatchi
Although
advertising industry stalwart M&C Saatchi has already
seen its share price slide by a third this year. Although
it may have reached the bottom, it is by no means certain.
Avoid, says The Times.
Luminar
Luminar
is the country's largest nightclub operator. It appears
to be coping well with the downturn but that is unlikely
to help its share price in the short-medium term. Sell,
says The Telegraph.
