anybody bought shares?

[want to know if]

Is anyone jumping with both feet into the equity markets?  I don't mean if you bought shares when we were 20% lower, I mean are you buying them now because you don't want to "miss the boat", or feel it's "safe to go back in the water".

Anyone buying from me? I am selling.

Got some for you too..

[chips on the table]

I am going into diversified unit trusts, equity make-up, mostly higher risk emerging markets stuff.

My investment horizon is 5-7yrs so i think it is a great time to get back into the market, there is definately value to be found. I'm aiming for a 100% capital increase over 4-5yrs - so somewhere between 20-25% return per year.

I like the banking sectors - hence I have been accumulating citi, barclays, loydes, goldman, Morgan Stan...mainly the UK/US banks..

I have put in around $1 million in these shares at different entry points....(my mark to market is showing a gain of $600k) but I keep on accumulating as my view is that we are at the peak at of the credit cycle (i,e, credit provisioning will decrease from now on..). And based on mormalised earnings of these vs pricing, it looks like a good bet...although i admit, somewhat speculative...

Sure, you bought when it was much lower and now don't mind re-investing some profits.  I wanted to find out if anyone was avoiding equities but now think it is safe due to the recent run-up in the markets.  If you were doubling down on your existing position that would be a different story.
