Dear Dil,

Stick to ironing. Rugby and shares obviously aren't your forte.

Crocodile, Is there a ftse 100/250 constituent which is a fairly reliable Dow tracker ? I have no volume on my index data uk style so am thinking a suitable share wd give some proportionate figs.

Some Trackers to consider

Many thanks zarif and croc...sorry for late reply been away on business:)

thanks for that croc, p.

I have a question regarding warrants.

can I keep my warrants and still excersise them on the relevant dates if I've sold the original shares they were issued under?

thanks.

-- ricardopage,

Yes - there is no connection between having the warrants and having the shares - you may have received the warrants as a result of having the original shares, but that's it.

many thanks

Why is it that the iShares stock does not carry stamp duty please? not that im complaining that is.

Croc, why is calling an image 'temp.gif' a bad idea?


;o)

lol
ooops !
Sorted, Thanks G.

Short answer is that it's not really a stock, it's a derivative (to all intents and purposes an index tracker fund) "packaged" to look like a stock - but "looking like" doesn't make it liable to stamp duty.

Thats a gross simplification of what ETFs are, but it's near enough for most purposes.

Yep, That sounds good enough to me ZZ, Thanks a lot.

What does 'fade' or 'fading' mean?
As in fading the trend.

Thanks you.

Can you explain why for Pursuit Dynamics (PDX), the Buy Volume is currently 181,308 and the Sell Volume is 561,639 and the price is rising.

Barry Parker

For someone to buy some shares, someone else has to sell - as all share deals are matched. The computer tries to guess who actually offered to either buy or sell the share first by the price. So if someone selling manages to get someone to buy the shares at a really good price it is recorded as a buy, rather than sell. So buy & sell volume you don't always effect prices.

er, thanx Gausie.
I wanted to know what it meant in a trading context.

Barry

Cos it's a top stock!

;o)

Seriously - what Littlewoman says is correct. But I'd also like to add that PDX is traded SEAQ and has a very small NMS. There have been many trades today that are large multiples of NMS. The stock exchange reporting mechanism automatically delays the reporting of trades over NMS to a very strict formula to provide the market makers with a little bit of opaque that they can hide behind. Some of these trades you'll see later, and some you probably wont ever see.
