Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

I hope to go to MANOR house on 16th Nov. If so I will update this thread. I think there is some interest in the Birmingham area but I don't really know.

Disappointed that the "Midlands" (which is a region) meeting is being held in what looks like a place off of the 4102 (Meriden) therefore possibly excluding others from other areas around Brum and restricting them to the car.

Anyway Fred have a good meet and look foreward to further posts.

Regards

Stan.

I've returned your email Fred and wonder If you have received It.

Regards

Stan.

No. I will send it again via Moneyam.

I have just received your email timed at 5.11pm and have returned a test email at 5.27pm.

Any joy?

bulletinboard@moneyam.com Is the right address Isn't It?

No it isn't Stan - you must always click on the recipient's name to send an internal message - bulletinboard@moneyam is merely the conduit.

I have responded to test mail. You should have received my E-mail and Address etc.

I have been out this evening and Just got In Fred, I have sent a short email the way chocolat has suggested.

Thanks chocolat.

Perhaps we can speak more tomorrow Fred?

....Does seem that way Fred.

Never mind, will be there this afternoon.

MG. We had a grand total of 3 attending. Some interesting speculations about market in general and a little about individual shares and Brokers and MMS tactics. We then discussed as usual "politics" and general distastes like grumpy old men. I think we need a small agenda and also a slightly larger number. The beer was good as it was a Camara pub.

We are going to try to have another meet. Probably a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday late afternoon or early evening in about 4-6 weeks time, at the same pub. (The room is quiet and non-smoking, if not very salubrious).

If there are interested punters out there, suggestions are welcome. (Not rude unless they are about Dil.

Morning Fred. "Grumpy old men"? Oh, I thought we were all quite cheerful really! I agree that the beer was good, even if the second shift of bar-keeper turned ordering into something of a lucky dip. Hope you and Stan both got back OK.

I've just flogged a small holding, which turned out to be above NMS. The odd thing was that it would have been easier to trade on line as the size allowed at the time was much bigger than the telephone broker quoted. Last time I looked on L2 (earlier this month) there were only two MMs, one dealing in 1,000 lots and the other going for up to 10,000. Quite a difference, a factor of 10. Today the broker said that there are four MMS in the stock, max 500. Question therefore arises is whether L2 really gives us the full picture. Or maybe the situation is just rather fluid just now.

The broker remarked on the present dull tone of the market, saying people were just sitting on their hands, and suggested that the forthcoming UK election was the problem. So there we have it. All will be well after May 5th. Or will it?
