Midday Market Overview

Possible recovery plays for the brave or downright masochistic - based on deviations from the MA25 in %:

HOC-23, EMG-21, ANTO-18, XTA-16, KAZ-15, AAL-14, FRES-14, AQP-13, VED-13, RIO-12, BDEV-12, HMV-12, FXPO-11, BARC-10

on the flipside these are the only stocks on my list which are still above:

AU.+4, UU.+3, SVT+1, LAD+1

It's all going to be about the job numbers today though.

% yields I have (E&OE):

EMG+11, DRX+10.4, HMV+9.8, WMH+8.6, NFDS+7.5, RSA+6.4, GMG+6.3, CW+6.1, BP+5.8, UU.+5.6, TATE+5.6, VOD+5.4, NG.+5.4, SSE+5.3, SSE+5.3, AZN+5.1

and the Peter Snow 'just-for-a-bit-of-fun' deviations from broker price target consensus in %:

HMV-46, LLOY-44, EMG-38, BARC-35, HOC-32, KGF-24, HOME-22, AV.-21, XTA-21, AAL-20, VED-19, RBS-18, RIO-16, HSBA-16, ENRC-15, BT.A-15, PRU-12, ANTO-12, GSK-11, BLT-10

and the flipside:

UU.+8, NWR+8, AQP+5, PNN+4, RB.+4, AU.+4, BSY+2

Payrolls consensus is +15K and the whisper number - according to the FT - is +56K.

Interesting info Kyoto. Thanks. A few may have noticed the large HOC shift from MA25 this afternoon and taken full advantage, from an intra-day fall of 21p to 0.5p at close of play. Nice.
