Survivor, Thank you. I am bringing my bodyguards with me as usual. (Just in case Ruth is on the prowl.)
Look forward to sharing my stock miseries.

Which country is 5501 in at the moment?

>Which country is 5501 in at the moment?

Don't know..... Perhaps the Land of Durians.... ;-)

PS: Saw Marstons Pedigree going for 1.99 in the City Centre earlier this week .... at the bar opposite the Hippodrome .....

S87 - I hadn't forgotten. Don't worry..........

Wetherspoons is usually pretty good on price, if not on service.

Why is Fred's portfolio down? I thought he was the Wiz.........!!! Or he thought he was!!!!!!!!!

I'm quite enjoying a daily variance of no more than +/- 375 or so, these days.

Stan - 31 Jul 2008 09:51 - 1091 of 1427

"I presume it's Thursday?" Yes.

Have a look at your emails for one of next weeks discussion topics.

Amar, get your MAM email thingy set up.

5501, I listened to a guy who said ACCSYS was a winner.

I think there must be a horse still running out there under that name.

tabasco - 31 Jul 2008 11:57 - 1093 of 1427

Last of 23 in a Newmarket maiden.

55011 - 31 Jul 2008 12:21 - 1094 of 1427

Did it actually leave the stables......?

Fred1new - 31 Jul 2008 16:54 - 1095 of 1427

Actually, Got the wrong horse. I think the nag was Microfocus. Made more on it going short.

Stan - 31 Jul 2008 16:58 - 1096 of 1427

Going short... could be increasingly more popular going forward -):

survived87 - 01 Aug 2008 08:47 - 1097 of 1427

.... but won't long be better by September.....?

Stan - 01 Aug 2008 09:18 - 1098 of 1427

Not all the while the market continues to trend down I don't think, but we will just have to see how things pan out. Certainly not much good short term news around.

.... perhaps we could get British Gas to sponsor our next meeting...?

DRUNKEN British Gas staff ran amok after a 250,000 Birmingham junket on the same day the energy giant announced a record 35 per cent price jump.
Boozy middle managers and sales staff enjoyed free drinks and slap up four course meals at the bash, organised to discuss how to justify the gas and electricity price hikes....

......But after the expensive event festivities were reported to have descended into mayhem when drunken brawls broke out at nearby hotels laid on for British Gas staff.

Stan - 01 Aug 2008 23:53 - 1103 of 1427

That is something we would have to look through. -):

55011 - 02 Aug 2008 00:18 - 1104 of 1427

Hey up! Big brother is watching.....!

So, Fred. By what means did you short Microfocus. And was the size better than that obtainable by trading the underlying???.

British Gas? I've just shut the boiler down.............

survived87 - 02 Aug 2008 18:04 - 1105 of 1427

just a thought ...... presumably the 'cost savings' they (British Gas) made on closing down their Solihull office/call centre a few years ago helped pay for the (mis)management junket....
