5. Paperwork

 Stockbroker cocked up a transaction and is owed £34. Affect on unit price this month. Mark cocked up John's cash but paid him from his own pocket.

6. Homework

 We were going to vote to sell a share. But we think it's pretty strong and balanced now so changed our minds. HSBC so low it's not worth it.

Mark de H recommended Aveva from Digital Look heat maps. S/w to computer services to plant, power and marine industries. Over 80% of world's oil plants etc etc. 7SB 1N. Divi 0.5%, PE 33. Market cap £707M. Graph pretty much followed the market but recently rising.

Rudi recommended infrasructures e.g. bridges falling to bits in the US. Also British Coal UKC, have lots of cheap land for cheap housing. 3i have new investment company for infrastructure deals in US in India. Hot topic ATM because (a) bridges falling down (b) public money to get economy going. Keller Engineering consultants for big building projects globally. Share price fallen but recently rising. Rudi particularly recommends the 3i investment company.

Rudi also checked out some of the shares we didn't buy. Gold did well, also Potash fertiliser.

 Rudi checked out what we've got. Centrica (Gas) down a bit but solid. Qinetiq ticking over nicely.

 

7. Voting

 We have £2500 to spend. We will split this with £1250 into Aveva AVV and £1250 into 3i infrastructure investment company 3IN.

 8. AOB

 Cobbs will be wanting his money out at some point in the future as he is moving. Will take it out at 11th of March. Rudi will make this up.

 

9. Next Meeting

March 20th Air Balloon. Rudi to bring new people??
