The Stock Market Share Tips

The Independent is not expecting a recession next year and thinks natural resource companies will do well so they have chosen – BP and BG Group, which they say are undervalued.

BG Group's has its offshore discoveries in Brazil and also the possibility of corporate action due to the Chinese taking a significant stake. The Chinese also have an interest in BP.

They have also picked Standard Chartered (STAN) )this is the second tip for STAN), United Utilities (UU.), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT), and Shire (SHP). – Standard Chartered as emerging markets will continue to prosper, United Utilities as it will be a target for funds, being a rarity as one of the only pure water companies. They say UU is an almost certain takeover candidate.

DMGT they say is seriously oversold and will remain a strong cash generator.
Shire, has both defensive and growth stock characteristics. Health care spending will continue to rise. Shire has excellent niche products and has avoided mass-market medicines.

They also recommend some smaller companies, including Proximagen Neurosciences, which is working to license therapeutics for diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Rumour has it that 2008 could be a landmark year.

It has fallen from a listing price of 154p in 2005, to 87.5p last year, but has rebounded and finished last year on an 18-month high, and recently turned down a takeover bid.

Rumours are of a lucrative buy-in and licensing deal, but it is a risky stock.
International Ferro Metals they recommend as a solid commodities stock. It has fallen 20% from its high, but they see it as undervalued with ferrochrome prices expected to remain at or near record highs.

AIM-listed Phorm Inc, develops internet-based advertising solutions. The shares slumped since raising capital but rumours are that some of these deals are close to completion. The company currently loses a lot more than it earns. Another risky tip.

They even say Northern Rock is worth a punt, as even if it is nationalised, it might be worth something. More high risk !

So to sum up : BP – BG - STAN - UU. – DMGT – SHP – IFL – PHRM – PRX - NRK

Out of the lot I would go with UU. -
