Picked a few GSK for the medium term & Div. (Next ex Div in Feb) GSK pay 4 times a year, and I keep promising to buy some for the long term, but never manage to hold them!

I know the feeling little woman.

I sometimes think that I get so involved in the daytrading aspect
that I lose sight of the bigger picture.
I have to keep forcibly reminding myself that other
time frames do exist.

Thanks for the ex divi info.

If the US election year scenario holds true, and if the
trend continues, then after the 4650 fib level I can't
see any serious resistance to the FTSE until we hit the
old 5000/5300 trading range.
What would that mean to the GSK share price?

With a company like GSK, if you call the market wrong,
at least you are buying a quality company that pays
a dividend. That's got to be better than a blue sky
tech share that's all hope with zero earnings history.
People have short memorys, anyone remember the 95% club?
Lot of folk went broke that joined that one.


'If' is a little word, but it tends to punch above its weight.
Where's Mystic Meg when you need her. :-)

Looks like both the FTSE & DJ have now decided to go up instead of sideways!

Melnibone - 06 Jan 2004 16:19 - 14 of 15

There is the possibility that instead of rectifying an
over bought condition by going down, that the Indices
are working it off by going sideways.

It's done this before and caught many Bears out in the process.
The strength in this market is keeping me very wary of going
short at the moment, even though everything is crying out
for a swing low.

It may go higher and then swing low just back to these levels.
I just don't know the answer, nor I suspect does anyone else.

Melnibone.

Keeping my eyes on AZN.

It's trying to make a swing low towards the 2550/2600 area
and still seems to be in an uptrend channel.

Edit. Forgot to add, that if it does, then there is a possibility
of a change in trend due to a lower swing high.
Needs careful evaluation.

Melnibone.
