US Tech stocks managed small gains while the Dow struggled all day finishing down 5. Glaxo is having a dispute with the U.S government over an extra tax claim for 2.7 billion tax + interest. Smiths Engineering downgraded this morning. Marshalls maker of concrete block paving said its pre-tax profit for 2003 would be in line with market forecasts, on sales up seven percent to 349 million pounds Bovis Homes said that cumulative reservations were up 10 percent from a year ago, as the sector continues to benefit from the buoyant UK property market. "The housing market during the past six months has been strong enabling the group to increase both sales rate and profit margin compared with the first half year," Carillion said trading had continued in-line with expectations and it expected to make annual profit of at least 50 million pounds. The decision by Network Rail, to take rail maintenance in-house would cut operating profit by around seven million pounds in 2004 and by 15 million pounds in 2005 and beyond. |

It's certainly interesting, little woman.
As you can see above, a nice divergence now in place.
By buying near the support level, and only buying 50%
of what I wanted, I've got bags of room for
my stop loss. If it doesn't hit it and the trend turns up
again I'll buy the other 50% that I want.
If it hits the stop loss I'll maintain discipline and take
the hit.
All still to play for.
Melnibone.

Disagreements with and between revenue authorities as to tax allocations between related companies in different tax jurisdictions are inevitable for a global business such as GSK. Before receiving this notice, the company attempted to resolve the dispute by referring it to negotiations between the US and UK tax authorities. The company believes these discussions collapsed when the UK supported the GSK position that no additional taxes were due to the IRS.
The company continues to believe, based on external professional advice, that it has made adequate provision for tax liabilities which could arise from these tax assessments. However, there continues to be a wide difference of views between GSK and the IRS. GSK considers that the additional tax claim by the IRS on Glaxo heritage products is inconsistent with the treatment of other pharmaceutical companies, including GSK legacy company SmithKline Beecham.

Seeing as this is going to run and run for a couple of years,
what's the market going to do?
Depress the price for two years? Lol.
In a perverse sort of way I'm hoping that the market does
punish the price so that I can get my next 50% for a really
stupid price and bring my average price way down.
Not sure if I'll get it though, the oil stocks are losing
a larger percentage than this today and all they're suffering
from is Brokers waffle.
We live in hope.

LGEN looks like it's just completed a lower swing high and has
already dropped to the 60 Day EMA.
It will be interesting to see if the next swing low is above
or below the last one at 96p.
This will help to confirm whether it is now in a Bull or Bear
trend. I'm still uncertain at the moment which is why I'm
staying away from it.

trend channel(circa 4450).
If it drops through this then 4400 will be next support.
Earnings season kicks off in the US tomorrow starting
with Alcoa. Earnings will determine whether we start a new
leg up or start a retracement.
UK should follow the US lead unless we get a disconnect.

"There's been some bogus rumors that there has been some kind of explosion in New York City," said Keith Keenan, vice-president of institutional trading at Wall Street Access. "It's absolutely false. A major news network is going to pick up this story before a trading desk will if there is any kind of truth to it."
"The markets sold off on that rumor. People are looking for an excuse to take profits," Keenan added.

Looks like you were right Testex.
It's broken a 6 month downtrend and made a higher high.
I trust you stuck to your guns and are still long. :-)
Well done.
Melnibone.
