Well it's not that different from many others Barry, is it ?
I get a tip, or an insight, maybe from the Fool or elsewhere, then I look for 3 or 4 pieces of corroboration - like a couple of Broker Recs or even better, some Director Buys.
Then, if its low risk FTSE100, and offers either a strong dividend or capital gain I might take a position.
If I can't satisfy myself as to it's quality, I might classify it as a 'punt' and take a smaller more speculative position.
