I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole to be honest. They might not be in profit for years. The institutions are staying away because of their bad working practices. Despite paying their workers a pittance they are not in profit.
I am sure there are much better options out there.
Depending on whether you want growth or income, Scottish Mortgage or Linsell IT will give you growth. If you want income I’d personally go for M and G providing great dividends.
BP rose in Friday because of the trapped vessel in the Middle East. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be moved any time son, so that might provide a good speculative gain, although dividends look good too.
