Good luck -

decided that 350 on 5000 was a good return o'night, so sold at 38.51 .... following US jobless numbers, might well have been a good move, but shall probably buy back in due course, though it doesn't look as if it will be today

Cynicthats around 1/14 on your moneyand would that be net?you would not need many bad calls in your portfolio working on that kind of margin to make a bookmaker rich.dont get it myself?
It you back odds onyou need to make a lot better that 50-50 callssimple as that?if you punt 1/14 chances.Ill leave you to work out the success strike rate needed..

be as sniffy as you like ..... i could have held, as certainly not under any pressure to sell, but a profit ain't a profit until its banked .... if i could make 350 every day, i would be a very happy bunny indeed

CynicI was not having a gojust cannot understand backing 1/14 chances as a trading systemat those odds with costs you cant afford to make any mistakes I am an investorand so have different rules

i didn't .... it just so happened that a decent profit materialised o'night so i decided to accept it with thanks - and not so dumb by the looks of it

I dont think you are dumb Cynicit is just that I could have 1,400 on a 1/14 horse fourteen times on the bouncetotal outlay 19,600...have just one loser and have returns of 19,500...dont look good to a thicko like me?agreed with shares it is not all on one way or anotherbut you are still not getting much margin for errorBTW you done well to sell Banksif Lloyds finishes up tomorrowIll eat my own bo**ocks!

you miss the point .... i would have been pretty happy to keep holding them, but with the markets so skittish, i am trying to be more disciplined about banking (respectable) profits when they present themselves, especially in such a (fortunate) timescale as this one

btw, i never back horses and actually have no interest at all in horseracing

I did miss the point Cynicyou are saying punting @ 1/14 is not your game planjust a particular situation that arosepoint taken

exactly so ..... phew! it's like explaining jokes to foreigners!

Fu*king sauce!

lucky he hasn't re-named you tabs, wonder what it would be....lol

Baler.... Two of Cynics mates was walking on their regular route in France when Cynic rode up on an incredible shiny new bicycle.
One of his mates was stunned and asked "I have seen that bike before where did you get such a nice bike?"
The second mate replied "so have I yesterday I was walking to the F1 minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up to me on the same bike She threw the bike to the ground took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want!'"
Cynic saidI had the same choicebut the shiny bell was the decider.

Interesting day tomorrow though, as LLOY reports, DOW may bounce back tomorrow p.m. & anticipated good results from HSBC monday, tabasco's genitals may be in serious jeopardy!

Harry.some say I have a big mouthIll need it!

a castrated tabs makes a much nicer pussy.....

Im as safe as a block of flaps?
