good to see the investors room traders thread up and running as usual.
FTSE up generally - but most of my shares down, such is life!
Good luck one and all - coffee and don'nuts on the side.

Had the same problems as the rest of you after my last post.
All I got when I tried to log in to the Investors' Room was
lines of code talking about 'Java' or something.
IMT still looking good, 12p up on this stock now.
If it wasn't going ex-divi tomorrow I would have
took it by now.
Have been literally watching paint dry, just finished
putting the last coat on the porch ceiling whilst
watching the market action on Bloomberg. :-)

All they are until you take them are a notional value
that someone else may or may not pay you for the stock.
Might do the same myself, never hurts to lock some in.

Testex, was trying to post that I've took the 12p on IMT.
I remember Croc saying to beware that if the Divi drop
takes a stock below a support level then it may not recover.
The way I figure it, is I've already got a good unexpected profit.
If IMT closes below 1090 then the 30p that will be marked in
at the open will drop it below what I've got as support at
1060p.
If it starts to bounce up again then I can go long again and
take some more as it retraces the 30p drop.
This way, I lock in a good profit, take away the risk, and
give myself the option of another bite at the cherry tomorrow.
Melnibone.

All we are doing tomorrow is trying to find more than
one way to skin a cat.
Hi Diego,
I would have thought that funds would already have bought
their stakes prior to the Divi. They trade the 'real' shares
and will have to hold until after the registry date to keep the
Divi.
This to me means that buying pressure will be off. To balance
that out the fund selling pressure will also be off but the
'Trading' selling pressure will be on as the CFD guys no longer
need to hold.
Just a view, not saying I'm right or that you are wrong. Who really
knows?
You just have to play it the way you see it and if you've already
made a good profit from identifying the situation....?
Melnibone.

I'm curious how many people will read this post - so here goes, I'm thinking of organising a get together in South London/SE12(just social, somewhere to chat & have a drink, near a train station - as not many tubes in the area, but with free parking). No more than once every 3 months. Mid week evening for a couple of hours?
If you could be interested in this, please post on this thread.

That sounds like a great idea, I'm sure you will get a lot of support for this from near neighbours. Unfortunately I can't make it, it's the 190 miles each way that is the problem.
You are a tireless worker
All the best

Obviously you have left your desk or you would have answered my post re your post 'Short THUS expecting 20% fall'. Being long & strong on THUS I am interested in the foundations of your statement.
Hope you see this post
