U.S. stocks closed off their lows Monday but still in negative territory for the sixth out of seven sessions, as investors continued to take profits and in response to international terrorist attacks over the weekend. Vodafone reported a 19 percent increase in first-half underlying earnings and announced a 2.5 billion pounds share buyback programme. Earnings rose 19 percent to 6.62 billion pounds, compared with 10 analyst forecasts ranging from 6.15 billion to 6.78 billion. The interim dividend rose 20 percent to 0.9535 pence.Burberry posted higher than expected first-half earnings growth and appointed Stacey Cartwright as new chief financial officer to replace Mike Metcalf. The company notched up a 21 percent rise in earnings to 66.9 million pounds, up from 55.1 million last year.EasyJet reported a worse-than-expected 28 percent fall in annual pre-tax profit but said it was cautiously optimistic about its performance this fiscal year. They said its fall in pre-tax profit to 52 million pounds for the year to September 30 reflected the Iraq conflict in the first half, the costs of integrating the acquisition of rival budget carrier Go and other one-off items. Dixons said it had seen no pick up in the pace of sales growth though profit margins were still slightly ahead year-on-year. Some analysts had expected sales growth to have picked up since the September trading update. GWR radio said its first-half profit climbed on strong local advertising, with the improving trends expected to continue in November. The company, which owns Classic FM, said pre-tax profit for the six months to September 30 was 6.4 million pounds from 2.2 million pounds in the year-earlier period. "Group radio advertising revenues were up by 16 percent year on year in October and at this stage we expect that these revenues will be up by 9 percent year on year in November," the company said in a statement. |

I posted this chart last week which shows how MKS is a bit of
an oddball when it comes to FTSE stocks.
As you can see in this update, the divergence is still progressing.
If you are thinking of buying in, it is worth looking at this 5 year
chart rather than the usual yearly one.
In march FTSE was at 3300 and MKS was at it's year lows.
FTSE is now above 4300 and MKS is approaching its years lows
again.
If they break, you are looking at sub 250p. Be careful buying
because they look relatively cheap.

Hi Druid2, sorry to hear about your EZJ's.
You asked for an opinion last week and I gave mine.
Doesn't mean that I was right but if this is a long term investment
then why not wait to see how deep the valley is going to be before topping up?
You can always buy again when it goes back up the other side.
If it goes up from here then you've already got some.
As you can see above, there is good support at 250p.
You never know, you might get lucky and buy there instead of
higher levels as you follow it down.

Feeling now is that this has ran out of steam.
Knitware is a problem as seen in recent articles.
Results in clothing were due to squeezing suppliers
margins and profits, not sales growth.
Food sales will always be fighting Tesco et al.
Furniture sales? I don't believe the hype.
This is not a bad company, but the market wants growth
or it will rate it as a yield type utility.
Just my own opinion, so doesn't mean that it is right.
The market will show us its view via the chart.

Wonder how far they'll take it down?
Time for a coffee and finish re-laying my living
room carpet.
See you all when the US opens.

If I don't drop by late, back at Wed open.
Melnibone - 18 Nov 2003 15:44 - 23 of 34
It spiked below this for a couple of days last March,
but to all intents and purposes this is the March lows.
Now to see if it holds.

You should always let the market guide you.
The market is never wrong, it just is the market.
For the DOW and the FTSE to advance, the S@P
needs to get above 1050 again.
Until then, I'll just do the same as you and mainly
keep scalping intraday.
Holding the one tempory long, BT.A, but if that doesn't
move back into the trading range soon I'll take the profit on
it and forget it.

See tread i.e.Nov 17 they bought 1,000,000 of their own shares @ 280.6916
Melnibone - 18 Nov 2003 20:20 - 29 of 34
for tomorrow's FTSE trades.
As I posted this morning, it looks like the US markets are
dropping after the FTSE close.
Unless we get a late Bear squeeze it looks like a gap open
lower for the FTSE in the morning, with a sea of red on the screens.
See you all tomorrow.
Melnibone.
