UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 5 December 2008
Ones
to Buy
May
Gurney
Although
it was once a construction group, today's May Gurney is
a services and maintenance provider with a large customer
base mostly made up of local authorities and utility companies.
This positions it very well for a downturn and its current
share price fails to do justice to its potential - buy,
says the Mail on Sunday.
Phaunos
Phaunos
is a relatively new company setup to enable investors to
put money into wood. Phaunos owns vast tracts of forest
and is using its considerable cash reserves to actively
buy more. The older wood gets, the more valuable it becomes
- so Phaunos should be well able to weather any short-term
downturns. Buy for the long term, says the Mail on Sunday.
Communisis
Print
partner Communisis helps business communicate with their
customers - via direct mail, for example. While no business
is immune from a recession, this one might survive without
too many scares, reckons The Independent.
BG
Group
While
energy share prices may well remain volatile, BG Group's
shares look cheap at 7 times forecast earnings and make
an attractive purchase. Buy, says The Times.
Ones
to Avoid
WPP
Advertising
group WPP are active on several different continents - giving
it some protection against regional downturns. This may
not be enough to save its share price, however, and the
Telegraph believes you should avoid WPP for now.
Wolfson
Wolfson's
finance director admits that the company is "100 per
cent exposed to the consumer electronics industry".
With only clouds on the horizon, now is the time to get
out of Wolfson. Sell, says The Independent.
