In the U.S upbeat forecasts from Nokia and Procter & Gamble boosted the stock market ahead of the start of the corporate earnings season. The Dow industrials rose about 63 points while the Nasdaq added 22

William Morrison said strong sales over the Christmas period broke all records. They reported like-for-like sales growth of 10.2 percent, including petrol, in the six weeks to January with total sales up 16 percent year on year.Analysts think that performance, an acceleration from the growth rate last reported by the family-run chain, will beat all other UK quoted food retailers.

CROC

After collapse in Elan and recent news should we be buying this at 6.5p?

Crocodile - 09 Jan 2004 13:37 - 14 of 30

DUE TO PROBLEMS AT THE LSE THERE WILL BE A 10 MINUTE AUCTION ON ALL SETS STOCKS AT 13:50 TODAY.

Crocodile - 09 Jan 2004 13:37 - 15 of 30

Dunksey, will have a look at ELan
D,

little woman - 09 Jan 2004 13:50 - 16 of 30

Croc,

I'm curious, what problems are there that require a 10 min auction on all set stocks?

Crocodile - 09 Jan 2004 13:55 - 17 of 30

This closedown at the LSE is damm suspicious, swopping servers at this time of day. Could this be a test in case of a terrorist attack?

little woman - 09 Jan 2004 14:08 - 18 of 30

Today has been quite fustrating. Orders seem to be going through slower than ever, and one or two that I have tried to cancel, wouldn't cancel.

zarif - 09 Jan 2004 14:13 - 19 of 30

It's been very fustrating. I started the day with a short DJ which went up, and a Long FTSE that went down. So I closed the DJ and reduced the FTSE and what happened. The FTSE continued down, and the DJ just before open dropped heavily.

I think the bears should just get on with it. The trouble is, when I decided to join them, they turn into bulls! I really seem to do better trading real shares the CFD's! Suppose it's a different straterg which obviously suits me better.

Melnibone - 09 Jan 2004 15:16 - 21 of 30

Afternoon all,

Just logged on, dentist visits and other stuff this morning.

I see the top of the old trend channel held at 4450.
If the bulls are lucky, this may be used as the support
line of a new trend channel.

If not, I've got 4400 as the first support.
If that fails, I've got 4150 on the 50pt P@F chart
that I run.

If that fails then you are maybe looking for a reversal
into a Bear Trend. But that's a way off just yet, so I'll
just let the market tell me and remember, unlike some, that
I don't actually possess a Time Machine.

Melnibone.

Short bay, Long msy

hijeff - 09 Jan 2004 15:23 - 23 of 30

any1 know the XD's for next week?TIA

Melnibone - 09 Jan 2004 15:30 - 24 of 30

little woman, don't change your strategy just because you are
trading CFD's.

The principal remains the same, you just have the added opportunity
to go short in Bear Trends instead of trying to fight them with
one hand tied behind your back.

If you find that intraday scalping doesn't suit your style or
temperament then why not try some swing trading in addition to your
LTBH investing?

Hope I don't sound patronising here, just trying to offer you
some friendly support.

Melnibone.

ThePlayboy - 09 Jan 2004 15:44 - 25 of 30

melnibone u can always borrow my time machine, for a fee, got it off doc emett brown, bit temperamental though!

Melnibone - 09 Jan 2004 16:05 - 26 of 30

Hi TP,

I hear that they give them out free to anyone who fleeces
the Government whilst pretending to build De Loreans and
create jobs. ;-)

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 09 Jan 2004 16:12 - 27 of 30

Looks like the S@P may try and close the gap open.
Trouble is, this will be after the FTSE closes for
the week and once it's gone flat anything could happen.

Melnibone.

little woman - 09 Jan 2004 16:17 - 28 of 30

I've given up, L2 is playing up showing orders that don't exist and it's too hard to figure it out.

I'm going to watch the DJ for a while..............

stockbunny - 09 Jan 2004 16:22 - 29 of 30

Weird afternoon we are having....
A moment ago Granada (sorry forgotten epic) went up
considerably, followed by a ridiculously wide spread for a
share of its type (3odd%)followed by a turning down pricewise...
I haven't slept too long and it's April 1st is it???

stockbunny - 09 Jan 2004 16:42 - 30 of 30

All in all it looks like a depressing end to the week.
Let's hope next week is much better!!!
