little woman, I think I'm correct.
Yahoo! quotes ANGL on the Dublin exchange in Euros
with the divi in Euro Cents.
MaM is quoting the price and the divi in Sterling Pence
Please double check before making any decision.

I see the 4330 support level I mentioned earlier has held.
All depends now on how spooked the US gets on the killing
of the Hamas leader.
US and UK are still on support. Selling volume in the US was
heavier on the US stocks but now seems to be lightening off
a little.
A lot of the UK Blue Chips I trade are still holding on support.
As usual, everything is on hold now for US direction.
GSK hasn't dropped that much today considering the general fall.
What do you reckon Fundamentalist and Little woman?
Signs of bottoming or just recovering a bit from last weeks
sell off?

Keep an eye on LGEN that I mentioned further up this thread.
October low seems to be holding and it's trying to go positive
on a down day. Don't forget the ex-divi next week circa 4%.

Lot of large trades going through on SKP at the bid price
which is dropping the share down.
Be interesting to see if some news now comes out into the
public domain after some folk have already adjusted their
positions.

news often comes at 2pm prior to the US opening rather than early morning on this share - could be an interesting next hour

Mel,
just looked at the SKP trades from earlier. Three trades all at 63.5p for 400,000 , 1,284,150 and 1,684,150. looks like a rollover or a transfer to me - I think if 3m shares had been dumped this close to results/annoucements the price wouldn't have held. Any thoughts?
Melnibone

My only thoughts are that I don't know what SKP are going
to announce or when.
It's in half way house at the moment in between support and resistance.
Therefore I won't take a position. If I call it wrong there
is the danger of a large % move against me in a very short
space of time.
There are plenty of opportunities out there at the moment, so
I don't see the point in taking an unneccesary risk.
If it soars, it will retrace as folk take profits, if it crashes
it will bounce as Bears take profit and bottom fishers move in.
Best for me to wait and take one of the above options.
Melnibone.

little woman,
assuming I was correct, how did your friend take the news
that the stock price was in Euros and the divi was in cents?
What did he/she decide to do?
Melnibone.

Anyone think we could hit as low as 4300 today?
I hope not, but it's not looking encouraging.

A lot of the stocks I'm watching haven't really dropped
very much. Disappointing really.:-(
Got a couple of stock longs now, not convinced we're in Bear
mode as yet.
