Looks like JP Morgan is well ahead of concensus - but they missed this morning's whisper number by a cent... so the futures drop :-)

Touchy lot! :o)

HOME has flashed up on my system as now being 10% below it's MA25.

For some reason MAM's MA25 is 286 but mine from raw data is 289.

Kyoto, based upon your graphs for HOME and its current price do I assume that you are looking to place a long on the basis that it will recover back towards the 25 day MA?

Basically yes, wherever the MA25 ends up being... sometimes subject to VOLMA and intraday EMAs usually to pick an entry - or sometimes I just go for it :-)

From the Telegraph:

E-Trade in talks, shop shut up

Word reaches me the online brokerage company is back in talks about a sale, talks that are so advanced it has had to shut down applications for new accounts.

Try to apply for a new share trading or CFD account and the only reply you will get is: "Thank you for your interest in applying for an E-Trade account. Currently we are unable to process any applications at this time. We apologise for any inconvenience."

I put a call in to find out what was going on, but they were too busy to deal with that too.
