Duelling Fools: Using A Watchlist To Pick Shares

Published in Investing on 23 December 2009

Does using a watchlist make you a better investor?

It's the final Duelling Fools of 2009! And we close with a little bit of investing strategy. With hundreds of shares to choose from, should you use a watchlist to help you monitor those you want to invest in?

 

Result of the last duel

A few weeks ago, we asked what you thought about the latest rights issue from Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY). 

64% of you reckoned you would take up your rights in full while 9% went for the 'in part' option. Some 19% said no. 

As it turned out, the actual rights issue was extremely well supported, with over 90% of shareholders taking up their shares. Fools are obviously more discerning investors!
