Morning all,
Hils..I see you're up and about; I've been meaning to ask how you are nowadays.
Has the leg recovered completely and you're able to kick J as per usual and recommence your old swimming regime @ 6am everyday.
Will you be able to return to the piste or is that all history now.
Let me know as I feel pretty bad about not enquiring before as, joking apart,
I know you had a lousy time and I've been pretty full of myself of late
and 'aint to proud of it.
Soc.. It must be hard on the millwall man 'cos every six months my head man from the bank changed. What was noticeable was that like the old bill they were getting younger; where does that leave Jeff??
Something needs to be done, what about telling Red Ken and getting a march organised in the City? You could represent Glos and we could all march from the cafe with the girls leading, of course......lw

Hello lw,
That's sweet of you to enquire.
The leg's a lot better now thanks, but every now and then it sort of pulls and I collapse in a heap on the floor. Swimming helps and I'm now doing 2.5km every day (alternate lengths breast stroke/crawl) although I tend to shuffle the times around (I'm off for a swim and sauna a bit later today).
As for the skiing, I don't intend to stop although I'll need to wear a support from now on. Despite the accident, we didn't let it ruin the fun. It was a shame because my son who's 10 is now quite tasty on a pair of skis and we have a lot of fun together as a family if you understand what I mean.
Send me an e-mail (I haven't got your new SA address) telling me all about Paarl and I'll keep in touch.
xxx.
edit: I no longer use the Tiscali a/c. Have you got my Pipex address?

You are right, doesn't seem to be many over 50's in the city these days, although I am not there yet. City getting very quiet, think there have been a lot of lay offs recently. Trains are less packed and so are the pubs.
A nice big pay off in the next couple of years would be very welcome, unless you can find me one of your multi baggers like PRM.

That is terrible about the trains. We should have a congestion charge of 100 for the whole of London and make season tickets tax allowable - that should pack the trains and see Me shares in SGC soar!

Jeff,
Hope you reversed yesterday.
edit: If they break 129.5 they could do a Prummie.

Only one position open, short UKX at 4007. I feel we might visit the 3700 range next week. Not at work today so if you want game updated send it on home address.

Have a great BH weekend everyone. I will be hovering around the cafe most of the weekend so if anyone wants anything, just post. I may not be in evidence, but I will be watching.
Now, where is that teapot?

Shopping done now for a bit of gardening. Wife has had a right old sort out so I am going to sell some stuff at a boot sale tomorrow.

Hi Jeffmack and Little Woman. I've been out shopping and just popped back in. I'll be hiding in the backroom if anyone wants a chat. Cleaning out the pipes on the ale pumps. Shout loud because I will have Classic FM on at full blast.
Jeff, let's have the inside story, is it a good time to invest in banks? There's lots of rumours about US banks wanting to take over British banks, who's ripe for a merger/buyout/takeover or whatever?
Hilary
That Golden Cross formation you mentioned, how steep should the rising 200/50 day MA graphs be to be a positive sign? I've found a few stocks where the cross has or is about to form but the rises are quite shallow.
OK folks, kettles on again and the sun is well over the yard-arm if you want something a bit stronger. I may be able to lay my hands on some of that Irish poteen if anyone is feeling adventurous, mind you, it's better for paint stripping than drinking!

Hello Socs,
Steepness isn't an issue. Obviously the 50ma will be rising steeper than the 200ma otherwise it wouldn't pass through it (Doh!), but the numerical value of the 200ma simply needs to be higher on the day of the crossover than it was on the previous day.
Sharescope eod have a couple of inbuilt golden crossover filters but I don't understand how they work. If you download daily ohlcv data, it's easy to bung it into a spreadsheet and get a list of daily crossovers. Otherwise, there's a good thread started by Philmiboots on the ADVFN pbb dedicated to golden crosses which he updates regularly. It's producing around 40 per month across the LSE at a guess.

Thanks, every little helps, to quote the monkey. I have located quite a few crosses in my wanderings. Some are 10/50s and others 50/200's. I am now trying to pluck up courage to anticipate the odd one. I'll have a look at thet afn thread too, sounds interesting.
While you're here, can I get you a jar of whatever you fancy?
Edit: Meant to say, have a look at CNA, heading towards a 50/200.

Just a jar, Socs?? I need a few cans of Red Bull right now. Just got back from 90 minutes of tennis ......... phew, I'm done for!

Make it a very large jar!
Vasey
Where have you been? Yes, it's about time for DYS to do something, I'm still showing a small loss on it although I'm not really worried about it. Just don't like having red lines on my portfolio any more.
I can't remember if you were interested in SVB, I bought the open offer along with many others. Now looking for a profitable replacement for my BULM. I'm tempted to go for a bank as I feel I ought to have at least one.
Since you're here, I'll open the bubbly.

Morning All,
Socs..Ask Jeff re banks; if he can't give you good advice at least he'll tell you which one makes the best tea...
Golf AGM last night, my head hurts, too much Windhoek...lw
