Cable and Wireless worldwide (53.5p) is looking good at the moment with an 8.7% yield and very cheap share price for a long term hold.

POLO resources has had lots of director buying between the 5p and 6p level. I have held this for a while and even got a special dividend of 3p a while only for the price to return to where I bought it.

Possible momentum share picks but high risk at the moment are:
Raven Russia (RUSW) and
ABDN. ASN INC WT (AAIW)
