Five shares I bought during this euro slump

The recent market troubles would try the patience of even the most saintly of investors. It has been an awful few months.

I have decided not to try and time the highs and lows of the markets. But instead I have been thinking of the long term, buying into companies which look cheap and which I think have got good long-term prospects. Over the years, and once the current volatility has passed, I have confidence that this value will shine through.
