Growth depends on where you plant.

The Shanghai Composite index has risen more than 85% in 2009 to date, while the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index is up 53% in the same period.

this is a long term game, you must think like a gardener.
plant your tree and check it every couple of years.

There are 'defensives' and defensives, look at BATS.

[careful] 29/7/2009 11:34

i have too many 'defensive' stocks.
svt,uu.,ng.,sse.
all well down fromtheir peaks.
these are not steady shares, the regulatory risk is too high.

i'm watching it now. it cd go as low as 950 but shouldn't drop lower than that unless they have difficulty renewing debt as fear of reduced cash flow might prompt brokers downgrade. and in the worst case, it will need to issue new shares but it seems unlikely now.

[losses] 28/7/2009 17:11

There should be some support around 994.

[revoc2] 28/7/2009 15:47

miato..CORRECTION, there was alot of support at 1000p!!!
not the case now, dropped below 1000p.....
where to from here?
id get out 2day if it got to just my B/E of 1035p at mo!
hope i dont end up selling at a loss.

[miata] 28/7/2009 13:47

There is a lot of support at £10, sentiment may take a while to turn.

[revoc2] 28/7/2009 08:57

noddy..........wheres that spike u spoke about, mate?!!!!!
what a depressing share this has been....from the first day i bought into it!!!
down down and down it goes...for 4 dayz on the trot now?!
will there be an end to this ROT?
will we ever see the light at the rnd of the tunnel?
will we ever see 1050-1100 ever again?

[miata] 27/7/2009 09:02

United Utilities and Severn Trent have been singled out as being two companies particularly at risk because of their level of debt and the size of their dividends.

[revoc2] 27/7/2009 09:01

noddy31...hope u r right, mate!!!
sitting on a loss here, and its my first time ive ever bought into one of these stocks!!!
i feel 4 those who bought these above 1100p a few dayz ago, only to see it drop by over 100p in a many dayz!!
i know it will be back up to that level (and higher) again, but its the waiting and messing around by the mm's etc that does my head in!!

I can see a spike in SVT for 2 reasons.

1) Many people are soon going to find a retrace in the volatile shares, those that have gone up 20-30% in the last 10 days. When the sells start the same money will find shelter in solid and defensive stocks. SVT is one of the best, as it has seen a exaggerated drop of 12% in 4days. This is due a nice 5-6% rebound at the least.

2) SVT has been upgraded to a buy from UBS with a price target of 1145pence.

Others in the same sector have just been downgraded such as Northumbrian Water and Pennon Group.

This shows that SVT is one of the best if not the best in the sector.
