The Lowdown On Insider Trading, The Upside Potential In Europe, And The Ins And Outs Of UK Bank Shares

Owain Bennallack discusses these hot topics with fellow Fools Nate Weisshaar and Mark Rogers.

Owain is a magpie of the investing world -- and not because he gets into a flap. Almost any style of investing might suit him, depending on the bigger picture, and he's held all sorts of companies. Paraphrasing Keynes, he says: “When the market changes, I change my mind -- what do you do?” That said, Owain is usually a buyer of equities, where he prefers lightly geared, modestly rated companies, and is increasingly on the lookout for Buffett-style intangible quality. He aspires to buy-and-hold: his best investment ideas are worth much more than he sold them for. Then again, his worst investment went bust due to management fraud!

With the US authorities alleging one prominent mega hedge fund is riddled with insider trading,  should everyday investors like us assume the game is rigged? Back on our side of the Atlantic, European shares struggle to get anyone to buy them. So is now the time for contrarians to go shopping across the Channel? And what should investors make of the latest news from Barclays, Lloyds and HSBC? Owain Bennallack invites Fool analysts Nate Weisshaar and Mark Rogers to share their views on all these topics, plus their latest thoughts on three interesting companies: Sage, Pace and Jupiter Fund Management.
