I bought some STAN this morning for my long term portfolio (last lot bought 13 jan & sold 20 jan as showing 5% profit) as I am trying to keep some for the dividend (trouble is my gain keeps exceeding the div, so I don't hold!)

Fortunetly they dropped back again so I picked them up again. The results are due out the 18th February and they are on record as say that the figures are expected to exceed earlier estimates by a comfortable margin.

Glad I did my trading this morning, couldn't trade at all
this afternoon as unable to log in.

Tried the fix's as advised by the help desk but no joy.
In the end I was advised that my platform was probably
corrupted and I had to uninstall it and download a fresh
copy.

21Mb download later................

Finally back online and missed that nice drop.

Good luck with the new HBOS strategy Testex.

I'm watching STAN as well, little woman, that's why I did
an overnight scalp on it.
Can't decide if it's at the bottom of a trading range, or
trading in a new downtrend channel. That's the impression
I'm getting for a lot of charts at the moment, nothing is
really clear.

Still, makes life interesting, doesn't it, if it was too easy
everyone would be doing it and nobody would work anymore. :-))

MONDAY FTSE PP

R2 4451
R1 4421
PP 4406
S1 4375
S2 4360

Fri close was below s1 after loosing 4.3pts in the auction! 2 day ftse chart targeting 4370 unless we get a brk out of the downtrend at 4405 to target 4420, all down to 10480 dow for direction imho!

MONDAY FUTURES PP

R2 4441
R1 4416
PP 4389
S1 4364
S2 4337

WEEKLY FTSE PP

R2 4484
R1 4437
PP 4414
S1 4367
S2 4344

Caught on the wrong side Fri long looking for short closing into weekend, instead got longs panicking closing and shorts comfortable to hold, a sign for next week? Major 10 month uptrend is now broken at 4420, ftse is looking a litte OS atm, so maybe some defensve by the bulls, but on the whole I,m quite bearish for next week, 10375 the level to watch on the dow to try and hold any longer term moves next week, feel we could test the weekly s2 at 4344 imho next week!

Have a good weekend!
