Sounded wonderful as a prospect and a bit of a punt after buying a few blue chips. So I purchased a, thankfully, very modest number at . . . . . . 832p!! 4 years this month. How long do I have to wait before they even BEGIN to approach that?

Do I wish I’d bought a few extra BA (as was) or GSK instead? No!

Good luck anyway and I will keep my eye on this one.

That said I am a buyer - the company can be cyclical and has the capacity to recover strongly from the current position By the real stan ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:AIP.L&display=discussion&id=9495590&action=detail Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:28:00 GMT the real stan tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9495230 This was his rationale in choosing his picks-:

"Friends of mine – a recently retired professional couple – recently asked me if I would suggest an investment portfolio for them, utilising £35,000 they had available. I established that through pensions and other savings they were financially secure, and were prepared to take a five to ten-year view – while accepting that there was no certainty in stock market investing.
As an equities man through and through, I felt there was no question of going for fixed-interest securities. Nor did I think there was much point in holding back and awaiting less volatile conditions – one can try to be too clever about market timing!
So I resolved to recommend only shares that I currently own – we sink or swim together – and felt that 12 holdings of equal value should be acquired. I proposed what I term “proper”, established, conservative, profitable, growing companies, which could provide a reasonable dividend yield.
After much thought, I selected seven main market stocks, plus five shares traded on the Alternative Investment Market (Aim). Here is my portfolio, and the reasons behind each of my selections."

And here is the relevant tip

● Air Partner is the world’s leading aircraft charter broker, hiring available aircraft for clients. Its services have been called upon to “rescue” stranded holidaymakers or support Foreign Office and military activities overseas. It is cash-rich and the shares offer a 5 per cent yield.

I'm seriously thinking about a small investment myself, but I'm wondering what any of you think?
If anybody is still here that is! I can't find any real reason for the substantial drop.

Small caps:
By Keyur Patel


Air Partner slipped 2.4 per cent to 312½p after the aviation company said it faced a “very difficult” trading environment. It cautioned that revenues from commercial jet broking, its largest division, were lower than last year though in line with management’s expectations.
Oriel Securities had a “buy” rating, saying it saw scope for Air Partner to expand its price to earnings ratio. But this depended upon “a better outlook for UK GDP growth and positive earnings momentum,” it added.

But I have a much greater peak to climb than you, churjones; my triple-digit position begins with an ‘8’! Buying in with great timing in May 2008. :-( Still, I’m holding on even longer-term.
