Little Woman. Saw your post in Traders' Room. Wasn't quite quick enough on IOT - trying at 371 but doesn't look as if I will get any. But got a feeling it will go up after Xmas when people read the newspapers. Another one missed.

Yes, but at 378? I think I'll wait to see if it drops on profit-taking later today. You did well to pick up on the trades before the price shot up. It's not one I watch.

little woman - You did well to sell your ETL's some weeks ago at around 70p. Today price is 40p and I have been adding to my longs. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will recover.
