U.S. stocks closed lower with most of the declines made in the last half hour of trading with the Nasdaq being hardest hit Alliance & Leicester reported profit up 12 percent to 525 million pounds from 468.3 million a year earlier slightly above market expectations mainly due to mortgage lending. It also announced that it would buy back shares this year. De Vere Group hotelier said it saw its overall trading environment as variable, with resilience in the leisure break market but a less consistent recovery in business conference demand. Like for like revenues rose 1.8 percent in the first 19 weeks of its financial year. Go-Ahead transport group posted a 43-percent jump in half-year profits to 47 million up from 33 million and at the top end of estimates, boosted by its rail and bus units. |

Having posted all that, I've got 3% profit to take on a share
and I can't log in on MarketMaker or the web-lite version to take it.
Sod's law. Lol.

Done the shopping this morning, stockbunny.
M@S and House of Fraser now have more of my money
than I would like them to have. :-(
Finally logged in on CMC and got my shares sold.
Logged in to Capital Spreads and it looks like they
are having problems as well.
FTSE Daily Cash is showing 4535 and they are accepting
Telephone orders only on the FTSE. Little odd that.
I bet there's a lot of frustrated Bears about.

Capital Spreads seem to have got their FTSE feed sorted out.
Quote is back in synch with the cash market and internet
orders are back on the menu.

That is over 1400p a share

what a strange biz this is ....... volume = 19 million, split almost equally between buys and sells, yet sp has dumped 200p = 22.5% today alone

i found the following of interest ....
"Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS.L - news) said in a note that neither Alliance & Leicester nor Bradford & Bingley (LSE: BB.L - news) was as exposed as Northern Rock to wholesale funding, but added that Alliance & Leicester had a similar-sized balance sheet with a large block of treasury assets."
am i even more stupid that already well-broadcast, but can "a large block of treasury assets" be anything but good?
meanwhile, i note lots of soothing noises, particularly from BoE re guaranteeing of NRK deposits - as if they were ever truly at risk anyway

Wel, I know something.
The pendulum swings the other way tomorrow.
So, I buy here.

what a difference a night makes!
having read the Telegraph at breakfast and seen its SELL recommendation even at <600, i fully expected a further fall, not least because of 2/3 broker downgrades yesterday.
suddenly, sp rockets (thank you God!) and Cazenove upgrades the stock!

looks like the bears may be getting rather uneasy ...... sp has been hovering 765/775 for the last couple of hours but has now broken upwards to 785

managed to recover not only my shirt but also socks and tie! ...... bought back in again latish yesterday at 676 and just sold again at 841 .... will now watch to see if all bubbles over

forget NRK as a recovery play; it is surely a dead dog! ....... AL however, already had a tentaitive t/o approach a little while back, and this could be a genuyine target ..... hence, i guess, the sudden excitment in sp today, perhaps bolstered by some realisation that this company is not likely to call for the lifeboat

Fortunately I sold mine at just over 10 pound before the fall. Interesting that wholesale rates have eased below BOE emergency lending rate.AsI for myself, I wouldn,t reinvest at present.
