CKN newbie - Just bought a smallish long in this CKN on the recommendation of a friend. A solid co. with strong financials, progressive div, forward momentum and seems reasonably easy to understand. Appears to have a had good run and highish p/e is holding me back from larger holding for now.........

Finally dipped my toe in and bought £4.5k worth of shares.
I did hold BMS but I believe CKN has much better prospects.

Well I was considering selling 50% of mine on Friday but changed my mind. As you say CN it is still marked as a strong buy, I used to try to work out the indexes etc but it seems this share is well rated so still holding on. I have followed it for years and could never understand why the share price was so low, then took my eyes off it and it had trebled. I'm not complaining now though.

If anyone doesnt think that Greece is a major factor int he market, just watch how the Dow is bouncing around as news comes out of Brussels

[elcapital] 07/7/2015 11:38

I think it would be foolish to underestimate the effect of a Grexit. Market hates uncertainty, and we will go into uncharted waters without a deal and if Greece go back to the drachma, and then the possible contagion in Spain and Italy and France

[cockneyrebel] 07/7/2015 10:50

agree longshanks.

I don't think Greece is any surprise and the risk of them leaving Europe has been well flagged. Also the yanks don't seem to give a monkeys about some little island half way across the planet and if they don't get in a flap things won't be too rough imo.

I think there will be a bit of a sell of if they go out but it will be short lived as those trying to get out of bonds buy equities on the dip mo.

Always possible something goes a bit too wrong tho, but pretty small imo.

Agree with scottishfield -good analogy! :-)

excellent analogy longshanks :)

[longshanks] 07/7/2015 09:27

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that China is a concern: I find the recent volatility on the Shanghai stock market and the measures introduced to stabilise it quite an interesting indicator of some significant issues around the corner.The thing I find fascinating about the Greek situation is the fact that there is still no obvious solution. The Greeks have given a big fat "No" to further austerity whilst still wanting to stay in the Euro. They are like an idle teenager poking their nose at mum and dad whilst still living under their roof. Mum and Dad are reluctant to kick them out of the house because of what the neighbours might say and also because they know the teenager will most likely end up sleeping rough on he streets and be lost to their family forever more.Family tiffs though are quite often just storms in teacups and like you say this one is just about where the money is going to come from and can be easily resolved by more quantitative easing and a slight devaluation of the Euro; well within government powers to bring about although no doubt unpopular.

[elcapital] 07/7/2015 07:08

What rubbish. If Greece leaves the Euro in a messy fashion, it will hit markets across the board, for fear of contagion.

[cockneyrebel] 07/7/2015 07:01

I'm mainly retail and domestic stuff which should be least affected by Greece imo longshans.

I think China is problem for more stocks like mineral resource related stock.

Greece is affecting the banks and finance co's most imo - will be action in those either way it goes I suspect.

All imo

You do have rather an enviable reputation amongst the ADVFN fraternity so I guess it is normal to get challenged by young bucks when the share rutting season starts in late May: must be quite flattering.What are your thoughts on how the almost inevitable Grexit will affect the markets; which sectors would you favour?

[cockneyrebel] 06/7/2015 22:30

it's called envy longshanks - bless.

boy in a man's world, young hind trying to rut with a fully grown stag :-) needs to grow antlers first, or a pair of something else.

Filter - don't waste your life reading the nonsense imo.

Your stalker seems to have a remarkable sense of his own importance CR. what on earth did you do to him?

[elcapital] 06/7/2015 14:38

[cockneyrebel] 06/7/2015 14:14

Nice new all time highs today :-)

[longshanks] 06/7/2015 12:06
