Melnibone - You have D4F?
They let you deal DAX when the market is not open, which is why it looks like it shoots up (or down) on open. The reality is it already trading at that level much earlier but as most charts only record it from market open, starting where it left off at market close.
I understand it follows the futures while the market is closed.

I'm looking to spread my wings a little and branch out away
from the UK stocks/Index.
As usual, I'm doing a lot of groundwork before dipping my toe
in the water, so any comments such as your's are most welcome.
Melnibone.

Glad I followed the price action and scalped it now,
instead of sticking with my own thoughts and holding.
If the FTSE does a retrace, as well as dropping to 1150
support, there is a danger that GSK can do an MKS and
drop to the 1000p March lows.
Definately a stock to let the market talk to you about
rather than follow your own preconceived ideas of
valuation. (For trading of course, not LTBH investing).
Melnibone.

about the US opening higher and pushing on.
DOW is already up to around 10,600, so why not some profit
taking and a drop to test 10,500 instead?
If it does this and takes it's time, say 1640 hrs, Europe will
drop towards the close.

me even asking!! - namely why ULVR was heading south on a generally positive day!
On a more positive note- It should be a good fortnight for the banks!

agree with your comments re gsk retracing to 1150p though i find it hard to believe we will see 1000p again. Results are due out thursday which may help to dictate the next moves in the shorter term. I am looking to buy medium term again on any further dip, but am likely to wait until the results are out of the way before re-entering. i still like the look of this as a long term stock but the volatility at the moment makes it a stock I find hard to hold when it makes it into profit after only a few days
Melnibone - 09 Feb 2004 15:22 - 21 of 24
suggest that you are more inclined to be a Trader than
an LTBH sort of person. :-)
So why not carry on taking the profits like you seem to
doing? It's far more satisfying!
GSK is expected to announce that the positive effects of
it's merger are now coming to an end. So you are probably
wise, if you are looking for an LTBH position, to wait until
after the results as you say.
If the market wants to sell GSK off, and remember some people still
have profits to take from those 1000p levels, then it may use
this as an excuse.
Same as you, I like this stock, but that doesn't mean that it may
not go cheaper.

it must approach 5% yield soon.
Looks like Testex wasn't far off the mark with the 330p target.

tx for your comments - I normally have no problems holding when in profit, I have shares I have held 4yrs+ that are in profit - it just seems to be GSK that has this effect on me. I am going to keep trading it short term whilst looking for a price I am comfortable buying at for the long term.
Melnibone - 09 Feb 2004 18:56 - 24 of 24
FTSE didn't really show that much strength today.
It's interesting to see where the highs topped out.
Right at what was the previous swing low at circa 4430.
Unless the US cracks on and finishes DOW/S@P 10700/1150,
I don't really see the FTSE pushing much past here.
It needs some positive momentum to break through here and
mount another attack on 4480/4500.
Some traders have some nice fat profits to take in the
finance stocks now. If the US pulls back below 10600,
they'll have the excuse to take them.
I'll need a lot of convincing before going long here.
Melnibone.
