    Just in case anyone hasn't read about it in the paper.

    I got called yesterday and was offered 400% on the current share price. Obviously a scam and told them where to go (after delaying for twenty mins :P) but just watch out. Have no idea how they knew I hold those shares!

    AFAIK the Register contains name and address, then need to sourrce tel nr separately. No big deal for any Boiler room deviant.:mad:

    On an aside, does anyone fancy United Drug at the minute? Looking to diversify my portfolio away from high risk oil stocks!

    I've tracked UD for 2 years or more, really nothing much happens besides being a lame yo-yo share which together with a small divi hasn't enticed me so far.

    Greencore might be worth a look and certainly ICG (fairly stable SP but good cash generation Co which will excel when full recovery kicks in). Meanwhile pays a very good divi. ;)
