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.

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.

hi.Good afternoon
this important thread was lagging behind so decided to bring it at the forefront.

What do you think we are going to achieve on the topside on the dow today????

I've got a question - A "R" trade is a Risk less Principal transaction at a different price trade.

This mean't absolutely nothing to me - anyone like to enlighten me?

is there any 'site' which will provide a list (or ability to compile alist) of top, say, 30 FTSE/DOW stocks where there is a daily price swing above a specified percentage? I'm looking for intraday volatility BUT ONLY in very liquid stocks, hence FTSE100 and DOW30.

any/all help appreciated. thanks.

Can a company get a rerating at anytime or does it usually happen when full year results are announced?

Hi Croc:
How are u keeping? fine I hope.
What are your views on the dow today.
Seems to be going sideways ast present just like our ftse. I think its going to shoot up a bit to about 9650 odd and then take a downer below 9500 within a short time.
