Dark Mare Born Before the French Revolution could Ride Up the Big Winner's List

Hello Share Walkers. All the high street banks are currently undervalued in my humble view. But the one I think is the best bet for share shifters now is the Black Horse stable. Yes, I know I’ve made this suggestion more than once before, but I think there’s even more of a case for your interest now. Here’s why.

The Black Horse is Stuck in its Starting Stall, but a Gallop Ahead Seems Overdue

Hello Share Stumpers. Where possible this old punter will try to find promising penny shares for you to look at. And one such cheapo, believe it or not, is the mighty Lloyds Bank (LLOY). A few months ago the shares were only 50p a throw. Now they’re not even at that lowly level. A poor statistic for a Footsie stalwart, don't you think?

Why Lloyds Shares May Be Chirpy Chirpy Cheap Cheap and How the Black Horse Might Gallop Ahead

Hello Share Grabbers. When I took out a mortgage in the 'eighties, the interest was about 10%. Viewed in that context, current interest rates are low. They’re expected to reach 5% soon and stay that way for another year. However, folks have got used to negligible interest rates and have paid more for their homes as a result. But what seems to be largely overlooked is the effect on banks of charging more for mortgages.

As I Said it to Tom 23 Years Ago on National Television: Buy when Shares are Cheap.

Hello Share Mongers. The Footsie has yet to recover its poise after those nasty bank scares in the US and in the land of William Tell. But it will. Because the fact remains that British shares were generally cheap before the bank chaos - and they’re even more likely to be a bargain now. So how do we play it from here?

What About Our Bank Shares after some Outfits Struggle? Here's Why I'm Not Selling My Bank Stock.

Hello Share Thrashers. It’s been a dire week for share shifters like us. It began with a relatively small techno bank in the US hitting the skids. Then the much bigger outfit Credit Suisse got into hot water and had to take loans from the Swiss Government. And shares in another US bank First Republic fell 25% on Friday after the bank said its was suspending its dividend "during this period of uncertainty”.

Why the Black Horse could Gallop Ahead After Setback of Barclays' Results and on its own numbers

Hello Share Fans. Sometimes laziness pays off. Having extolled the opportunities of investing in British banks, I was waiting a respectable period before I began piling into Barclays (BARC). But when I could have done so (and not broken strict Shareprophets writer's rules) I couldn't be bothered.

Goodbye Bears, Hello Bulls as the Footsie Breaks Out of the Share Zoo's Confines.

Hello Share Scrapers. This old punter is now moving cash from his interest-paying building society to my several brokers. The idea is to be absolutely ready to move from currently 90% cash back into shares. At present, the Footsie is stagnant, but recent trends lead me to believe that the trek north will gather steam. In other words, I’m returning to my natural state of bullishness.
