sofman: I understand the first part!  If you wish to buy shares direct then you may be best dealing direct with a broker if you want recommendations.  If your investment capital is large enough then you should get reasonable service.  I don't use one so can't comment on how to select a "good" one.

There is still a lot of hidden surprises out there so I am not in a rush to buy back in - expecially with my limited experience/knowledge.  And this is what is holding me back.  I believe there are some stocks which will be good but that will be in a few months - which suits my personality  Good luck in sortig out the wheat from the chaff in all this.
