Ditto - thanks to both!

Morning all.

If the above pattern continues, and it is only if, nothing lasts for ever.
Then we're seeing the top of this little options expiry rally and we should
drift back down towards the 4400/4425 area before turning again for another
crack at the years highs.

Summer soltice today, longest day of the year. Happy-Clappys will be giving
thanks to Ye Ancient Gods and I'll be watching the football.

Catch you later.

Hello All.

Christmas is coming after today so have a look at what the retailers may be doing around then with the expected higher(!!!) interest rates.

Us oldies remember the 3 day week, and the first great Miners Strike.

No not that one!!

The one that brought Edward Heath's Goverment down.

Hard times 26% inflation double figure interest rates.

We owed the IMF a fortune!!

My pay, 253 per month, outgoings 254 before food!

These surely are the good times.

Those gentle undulations in the chart rocked me to sleep.;-)

Managed a scalp with the help of a couple of matchsticks propping
my eyes open.

I'm not usually into conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to wonder
who is damping all the volatility out of these markets and keeping
a stable ship.

Had enough of this, going to get dinner done early and watch the war,
sorry, football match.

Melnibone.
