Manchester United A mystery buyer has snapped up a chunk of shares in a deal brokered by Germany's Commerzbank, reigniting takeover talk. Also MNU said it had won a new sponsorship deal from Vodafone worth 36 million pounds over four years. Alfred McAlpine construction and support services said it was in talks with the UK's Ministry of Defence to become a preferred bidder for contract worth over 100 million pounds to the firm. A successful outcome of the talks would lead to a seven-year contract for capital and maintenance works on 120 Ministry of Defence properties in the south-west Wolseley the world's largest supplier of plumbing and heating materials, said on Monday it had bought Swiss-based air conditioning and heating wholesaler Tobler for 52 million pounds. Communisis <warning> direct marketing firm said it was trading below its expectations because of pricing pressures in its non-contractual personalised products and document services businesses.BTG technology development firm said its biggest new drug hope, Varisolve for varicose veins, faced a "significant delay" in the United States as it posted a slightly narrower first-half loss. The firm, whose shares plunged last month when it said U.S. regulators had suspended a Phase II clinical trial for Varisolve, said it expected to have to conduct additional clinical and preclinical studies in the United States. They posted a loss before tax of 13.4 million pounds in the six months to September 30, compared with a loss of 13.6 million in the same period of 2002. Qantas Airways Australia's biggest airline and a key Boeing customer, said it would buy 23 new Airbus EADS.PA EAD.DE planes worth about $1.15 billion for its new low-cost carrier, Jetstar. The deal gives Airbus a firmer foothold in a fleet dominated by Boeing Co BA.N and strengthens its presence in the fast-growing and profitable Asian market, where Singapore Airlines, China Airlines and Malaysian Airlines use its aircraft. |

Managed one scalp on MKS and then kept losing my D4F
connection. It went down completely this afternoon.
It always seems to do this when they do weekend software
maintenance.
I wish people would stop trying to fix things when they
aren't broke and stop tinkering.
I missed some good moves today, but there's no way I'll
trade if I'm unlikely to be able to close a losing position.
Before anyone mentions using the telephone, no, I don't
like spending my time in a queue listening to 'Elevator Music'
whilst a price continues to move against me. :-)
Been there, done that, no real urge for a repeat experience.
Melnibone.

If the US stays positive and keeps attacking 1070/9900
this could prove interesting.
An index short at the top of the trading channel will no
longer be a one way bet. Bears will be worried about a
breakout and a trend acceleration.
There will be stops above this trend channel, that if triggered
will fuel a short squeeze to the upside.
Don't want to appear too Bullish, just be aware of the possibility
before opening any fresh shorts. There is a possibility
of getting your fur burnt here.
There will be plenty of time to short if the breakout fails
because that would mean that we really were at the top of a
still intact trend channel with plenty of downside.
