FTSE struggling to hold S2.
LLOY drifting lower, wonder if it will break below 400p?
LLOY has S2 at 401 today.
BT.A trying to hold the old 178p support level.
Bit shy of buying anything here, may get lower prices
if we start to get a correction.
If in doubt I do nothing. I need a plan and a good
reason to take a position.

Lot of stocks near support levels, wouldn't
take much to get a sell off going if we don't
start turning up soon.

to buy in when the screen shows red, brings out a 'shopohilic' tendancy
in me like nothing else does!! LLOY and MKS very very tempting.....
As to the trips offered by STAN its an interesting idea, offer trips
so far away they look impressive but are too far for anyone to actually
take up...(lol)

Hope it interesting enough target point for those who are reluctant to join. Only specialised on one of that field even when you could make a Phd on that stuff, you will see your pocket soon empty and u better regret for not staying in writing programs, writing fundamental tips and literature which will be more profitable.
I stress again NEITHER Fundamental NOR technical analysis is right.
ntk98 - 17 Nov 2003 13:33 - 20 of 44
and here is the second attact if anyone want to tell me there is any unbelieveale good sensitive gihly effective trading system, worth zig thousands pound trading exist in this world and have a place to get a rewards, give me three to six months and give me the mini version where every thing is basic no high tech, intelligent chart inside for 10 and give me six months max I xa prove that the bigger, more expensive although contained more sophosticated tech, intelligent would be less succuessfuk then the 10 cheap version.
And here is a low blow, I bet that the so called expert have long time ago a hunch that my hypothese is right, that the whole thing is only circus, but they keep quiet, from the big financial programmer to the one who earn money and respect though some graphs, they all know that thing doesn't work ... but why say so it is more profitable to let folk wanders in the fog around, rathwr tell them the truth.
NEITHER Fundamental NOR technical analysis is right Hocuspocus only

Buy I would suggest. Only commensence, or what they call in old book contrarian trader tactic, when evryone dug, you better dig there are more worms to find . .. :-) They seem to wait for the result come out of some sort of market, treasurer expert this afternoon. I wonders why waiting what good for? They won't help us, you won't deter them what they already had in mind for their pocket, they won't shed a smallest tear on your lost. Same situation as a weeks ago everyone wait to know interest rate was going to be 0.25 or .5%!!! None of the sell, and waiting sideline was good, rate went up to 0.25 and what has changed?Even .5% market situation doesn't change much to the better. The only thing I find really good at all these bad events, is that I can undeterrently walking around ang get stocks cheep .. oh, me me if I could have a lot more money for investing I would go non-stop on those day around shopping and pray that people will take the chancellor, premier minister talk more seriously and sell more so stock would be cheaper and more time for me to buy.
I don't understand why some investor by the slightest market down movement taking profit and destroy the price level where they later buy back in. Regardless which past which chance thise stock can have ... There is a lot money go in smoke by the practice ... and even on those they with an early sell they still losing because large spread, market open and MM set all ready and wait for first seller, what do you think, wrong to keep?

The market is looking very fragile at the moment as in the Far East overnight.
There is just a possibility that this could develop into a very fast and sharp sell off so I do not want to be caught on the wrong side of it.

research potential targets given an attractive price being available
for them! Yes ntk98 I follow the 'contrarian' tactical approach generally
if it's already upwardly mobile I don't tend to find it an attractive
opportunity but it doesn't always work, I've had the odd finger bitten!

relatively good day?
On reviewing my last post and the comment on what's upwardly mobile
not being attractive..This could be read in an interesting light when
applied to other life areas (and explain a great deal too)
Ah...A hearty laughing session is good for the soul!

time for a nice iced lemon tea to cool down the brain b 4 getting on the dow.Going to watch from the sidelines first.
Ps: you are quite right i have no idea what ntk98 is ranting and raving on about - he/she was on last weeks thread posting there until i told him to use the 17/11/03 -maybe should have left it there.
