Not impressed with D4F - they are quoting really crap prices!

Maggot - 23 Dec 2003 12:30 - 16 of 28

Little Woman. Saw your post in Traders' Room. Wasn't quite quick enough on IOT - trying at 371 but doesn't look as if I will get any. But got a feeling it will go up after Xmas when people read the newspapers. Another one missed.

little woman - 23 Dec 2003 12:35 - 17 of 28

It may be still worth getting some if you can, still seems to be going up: -

Maggot - 23 Dec 2003 12:41 - 18 of 28

Yes, but at 378? I think I'll wait to see if it drops on profit-taking later today. You did well to pick up on the trades before the price shot up. It's not one I watch.

little woman - 23 Dec 2003 12:57 - 19 of 28

I don't think its going to drop in the short term. I tried to buy a lot more, but couldn't get a decent price. So I broke the order down, into 4 smaller ones and got my price!

News now out to the world! http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200312231250436094T.html

little woman - You did well to sell your ETL's some weeks ago at around 70p. Today price is 40p and I have been adding to my longs. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will recover.

Crocodile - 23 Dec 2003 13:29 - 22 of 28

Very quiet but did a little long on John Wood & Shorted Logica

Fundamentalist - 23 Dec 2003 13:34 - 23 of 28

Well done on getting in on IOT LW, I looked at doing so last week but decided against - oops!!! Can't win them all!

Wishing all a merry xmas and a profitable 2004. (I know its supposed to be prosperous)

I'm have a better than average day - still not made it out yet! Bought FTSE-100 3 times now at 4415. Sold 3 times at 4420. It would be nice if D4F would actually action limit orders!

Better disappear before I do something silly!

Crocodile - 23 Dec 2003 13:44 - 25 of 28

LW :-)
Thanks for all your support in the Investors room Traders thread.
Happy Xmas
