draw?enableMA=true&epic=AVZ

AVZ still coming down nicely. Can't see what will stop it dropping
to its 400p support which is now helped by the 200MA.

May be worth a look at if it gets there. Depends on main market direction
and sentiment. If the market looks weak it could go even further to
the 375p area.

Return a few minutes ago to find L2 working (but not for long), and noticed PRM (a share I'm buying & selling within a 8 point spread, was just starting to go back up, after droping the last 2 days - and my dealing account after letting me login, decided not to do let me do anything. Then L2 stoped working and now PRM is 2.5 points higher, and I have no idea if the trend is up or not!

washlander - 05 Nov 2003 09:46 - 12 of 36

That is what is so sad, this has lost me money today so I have stopped trading until I can make more sense of the market. Thanks MAM

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 10:11 - 13 of 36

So croc,

Any idea what's going on with LLOY or PSN? Both are pretty low at the moment - with PSN picking up a bit yesterday - and LLOY, well what can I say?

Crocodile - 05 Nov 2003 10:23 - 14 of 36

Lloy fallen below support and I reckon BARC is a good short.
PSN not likely to go up with the rise interest rates to be announced.

Re Level2, MoneyAm source the information through GNI which is down and they are about to implement an alternative supplier.

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 10:27 - 15 of 36

I took all my money out of my CFD account as I found I didn't like going short.(And found reactions to deals too slow). I suppose I'm just an old fashion investor at heart!

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 11:11 - 16 of 36

This is really fustrating, I have just noticed PRM are 3.5 up already, and can't decide if I should sell PSN and take my profit, or wait it out...

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 12:11 - 17 of 36

Too late now on PSN - got too used to relying on L2 to make decisions!

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 14:52 - 18 of 36

It looks like now L2's back, shares are going up!

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 15:03 - 19 of 36

Notice that the traders room thread seems to be getting over 300 posts now. And we on the investors room are now averaging 2 figure posts!

Where is everone this afternoon?

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 15:32 - 20 of 36

quite a fustrating day. Now for the second time GSK reaches R2 and falls back - the big question is will it be third time lucky!


draw?startDate=05%2F11%2F03&period=1D&ep

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 15:51 - 21 of 36

Nope

Melnibone - 05 Nov 2003 15:59 - 22 of 36

When I said I expected AVZ to drop to 400p I didn't think
that it would nigh on do it in one day!

There must be some bears sat on fat profits on this one,
I wonder how much of it they'll pocket before 1630.

Melnibone

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 16:20 - 23 of 36

Melnibone, I know what you mean - so did you go short, or just watch, like I seem to be doing?

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 16:52 - 24 of 36

Traders room Traders thread just hit 400 posts for the day!

zarif - 05 Nov 2003 17:10 - 25 of 36

I know, I saw your post in the tea rooms! It's normally pretty quiet here after 5pm as you seem to be the only person having fun with the dow who posts on this thread about the time. I notice you don't trade the UK markets during the day - I suppose you are busy elsewhere then?

Druid2 - 05 Nov 2003 17:27 - 27 of 36

Little woman - also nice to see this thread getting more active. Gettin to the stage where I will have to pop in to check it regularly during the day.

little woman - 05 Nov 2003 17:31 - 28 of 36

Yes, put you need to post too - or I'll think I'm a broken record - and it's sort of lonely......

zarif - 05 Nov 2003 17:32 - 29 of 36

Little woman:
Yes -as they say there is no rest for the wicked.
I own a petrol station /mot garage -So in the early morning go there from 6am to about 1pm then start on the markets.
I usually fing the Ftse too slow for me not enough volatility.

Any pointers for early morning markets would be great as i am just arranging for someone else to take care of my other business so i can do this full time.
