Babcock
'Post the acquisition of VT Group, Babcock is well placed to grow its position in defence outsourcing, particularly given its pre-eminent position in tri-service support work. Fears about the impact of budget cuts are reflected in a low valuation, but the reality is that those companies with a strong track record of delivering decent cost savings will be very well placed to win significant amounts of new work. Good deal synergies also underpin earnings growth, whilst the similarity between the two organisational cultures should mitigate against integration risk.'

Outperformance means nothing if your portfolio of shares has still lost money.....you've just lost a bit less!

He may well be right, but it is still speculation; make your own judgement they may be worth a punt; if you don't really understand what these businesses do or where they stand in the pecking order then your just guessing.

Invest with care.
Buy BP for a good bet!!!!!
Remember when funds get into trouble/undervalued by market conditions they just slap on an Market Value Adjustment always downwards! and what with buy/sell spreads and fees are nowhere near as good as investing direct and getting divis unless Pres Obama sticks his oar in.
Hope Junior Cameron told him we will pull out of Afghanistan if he does not lay off BP aka British Pensions. I shall write to Obama asking him to pay my divi. As a pensioner (still waiting for my Equitable Life compensation I need it......
Property is a better risk over time - BTL rules OK
