Canary Wharf faces a crucial shareholder vote today that could block a recommended 1.56-billion-pound takeover and clear the way for its founder to seek control

National Express Group: Britain's rail regulator said it had picked the British bus and train operator as preferred bidder for the new Greater Anglia Franchise. It will run for seven years from April, with specified performance targets and an additional three years if they are met.

Mentmore Plc said it had received a bid approach, and there was no assurance the deal would go through.

Old Mutual said it was lending its South African banking group Nedcor two billion rand ($288 million) to shore up the unit's balance sheet.

Anyone else having problems with CMC? I only seem to be able to place market orders - no limits, etc. And the prices are not very good either!

textex - sometimes 10, sometimes 20.

Good afternoon people!
Amid the seriously working which appears to still be carrying
on in here, I would like to remind you Christmas cake, mince
pies and other seasonal fayre is available in the tea rooms.
Thank you and good luck today to all!!!

So MKS are looking for a chief on the clothing side...
Oh please appoint the lady from Debenhams! The whole idea
of MKS clothing being headed by someone from New Look is
hardly a great move IMHO - Bit like appointing someone
from WLW to head Thorntons!

Lastly....Go HBOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melnibone - 22 Dec 2003 15:22 - 19 of 27

Lucky you went quietly stockbunny or you would
have woken us all up. :-)

A 15 point trading range since 0900 has had a distinctly
soporific effect.

We are also rather underwhelmed by the new highs
set in Chistmas week on low volume.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Melnibone - 22 Dec 2003 16:03 - 20 of 27

I'm getting tempted to put a short on here, but that
would mean calling a turn and fighting the tide.

If the FTSE can be pushed on high volatility/low volume
through circa 4450, then automated buys from Bulls and
short covers by Bears could spike this market above
4500.

Also, I don't like shorting the FTSE when the afternoon
trend after 1530 is up.

Certainly not opening longs, so leaving this alone.
TP may get his 4445 yet.

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 22 Dec 2003 21:28 - 21 of 27

I'm glad I resisted the urge to fight the trend and
open the FTSE short I was talking about.

FTSE currently showing 4437/4441 on CMC.
Dow looks like it's going to try for 10,500 and S@P
for 1100.

Depends on what the data is like at 1330hrs and the
December consumer confidence at 1450hrs.

Looks like another gap open higher tomorrow, Bears must
be getting concerned with the FTSE within spitting distance
of a breakout higher.
Could see some Bear closing which will fuel it higher.

Melnibone.

Munnie - 27 Dec 2003 15:43 - 22 of 27

Hey guys - I like this site.

Some of the boring peeps on ADVFN will hopefully stay there !!

Dont know yet if this will totally replace ADVFN for me...

So many features still to be tried & tested.

little woman - 28 Dec 2003 12:54 - 23 of 27

Welcome Munnie

You'll find we're quite a friendly lot over here!

Munnie - 28 Dec 2003 16:46 - 24 of 27

Hi little woman !

I didn't mean they were actually unfriendly at ADVFN...

rather , the amount of irrelevancy and illiteracy has sadly grown...

and I STILL can't access ADVFN threads, something wrong there.



Crocodile - 28 Dec 2003 20:51 - 25 of 27

Munnie, On ADVFN here o.k. (logged in o.k. as Doddie)

little woman - 28 Dec 2003 22:18 - 26 of 27

Hi Munnie, I didn't meant actually mean that they were unfriendly over at ADVFN, just that we aren't over here! (That the trouble with words - no body language to help with interpretation!)

Munnie - 28 Dec 2003 22:32 - 27 of 27

Well, ADVFN came right for me a wee while ago !!
Funny how it affected me very badly, yet others have been posting there.

Couldnt stop feeling that ADVFN were punishing me for visiting here ;o)
