Just shows, no matter how high we think stuff is fully/over
valued, folk will still find reasons to buy. That's why
we get bubbles I suppose.
I won't fight this trend, but I'm deeply suspicious.

They're both back to roughly where they were on Monday
prior to going Ex-Divi on Wednesday.
Perhaps it is easier just to play it simple and take the Divi?

Doesn't matter, as long as you keep a record of your trades
and order numbers.

If anything screws up, they warn you on the site that any
claim for an incorrect trade on your account will not be
accepted without the order number.
I always keep a written record of orders, dates and time.
Computers have a habit of losing data.
Bi$$y Gates might aspire to God like status, but he 'aint'
quite there yet.:-)

BP. and SHEL of 84p!
But there again, if memory serves me correctly, I said the
same thing when it was 73p.
This market never ceases to surprise me.

traders, but I've got the feeling that it's currently
in the middle of a 170/190p trading range.
