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?

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.

Make it a very large jar!

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...

'Evening all.
Jeff, what's this about pots, it's money we are interested in not gardening or cooking. I think I ought to have a bank in my portfolio but I may be Barcing up the wrong tree. What are you into these days, shorting is not quite such a dead cert as it was, even EK is feeling the effects I see?
lw, watch that plonk, it'll do you no good.
I bumped into Priscilla on "the other board" today. Such a nice surprise. She was cleaning up on the DYS thread, up 8.5p today. What brought that on I wonder?
