Nothing is guaranteed. The price could decrease. Most companies are trading at 12 to 18 times earnings this year. Anything higher than that will have more volatility than the other stocks in the market.

If you want to be guaranteed anything in terms of investing, you better stick with a savings account (or government bonds). The only thing guaranteed about a particular stock (company) is that the NOBODY knows the future of it. You may invest in it upon taking a more or less informed guess about how its future may unfold, but you better don't bet your house on it...

Whitbread is the "yeast" of your worries. Just Toast in the New Year and don't worry so much about it. Sandwich in between your other investments and you should do fine. I hope my answer isn't too "floury".
