Well u should have bought them at £8.10 cos now there up at about £8.70 
Okay what I think we need is phased investments rather than all in one go say if you want to put in £3k then invest £1k every 3 months, rather than trying to pick tops and bottoms. |

heres an interesting article on the Olympic Dam
Olympic gold, silver, copper and uranium
Once considered a liability, the Olympic Dam mine now promises BHP Billiton untold wealth, writes Jamie Freed.
FOR a remote site in the middle of South Australia, BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam mine receives a surprising number of visitors.
In the past year alone, about 5000 people - ranging from holidaying pensioners on coach tours to number-crunching analysts from the Big Smoke - travelled from Adelaide, a six-hour drive away, for a glimpse of the world's biggest uranium deposit.
On Friday, the mine received a particularly important visitor when Chen Yuan, the governor of the China Development Bank, turned up for a brief tour of the facilities.
Perhaps, like most others who have toured the site, Chen went in with high expectations but went away a little disappointed.
Those who venture to Olympic Dam looking for signs of uranium - the most topical mineral in Australia at the moment - won't find many.
Notable is the barbed wire fence at the mine's gates. Hardly impressive, it's the sort of fence that wouldn't be out of place at a coal mine in the Hunter Valley.
There is more security at the precious metals building. A guide notes that the few visitors allowed in have to pass through metal detectors to ensure none of the gold bars are lost on the way to the Perth Mint.
And then, for a moment, a flurry of excitement. A large pile of bright yellow powder sits out in the open. Surely Australian yellowcake is treated with more respect than this?
It is. The BHP representative quickly points out that it is sulphur

Yes I am looking at BHP too, the drop is because of the sell off in copper prices.
Its now at £9, thinking when to buy... waiting for this big fall to 6000 which could mean BHP near £8 ! |

BHP was tipped as a buy by moneyweek. so things should perk up in the long-run
Though in the short-term with copper falling it may have a small fall ? |

LONDON (ShareCast) - BHP Billiton is higher in early deals after ABN Amro repeated ‘buy’ advice on the back of strong fourth quarter production data.
Citigroup also likes the mining heavyweight, with the US broker lifting its price target on the shares to 1,750p from 1,500p.
The move follows significant upgrades to copper estimates, which also prompted a hike in the target for peer Anglo American to 3,250p from 3,090p. " |
