As a relatively inexperienced investor,I was very cautious when faced with the question of paying a significant subscription for advice. I watched the performance of some companies which SIV had recommended and finally decided to try the service. Since then,(approx 4 months) many of the recommended companies have performed well and I was able to take some profit, but choose to hold many shares from solid companies that are growing in value as I write.. I must admit to being impatient in the early stages and regret selling a couple of times and missed out on comfortable profits. Apart from well researched reco's, I enjoy regular reports determining whether to buy, hold or sell. I would definitely recommend Shares in Value to anyone who needs guidance as I did and is serious about their investing. Colin N.
