Well having opened Thursdays thread fearlessly forecasting a .25% rise in UK interest rates and a flat Market I was proved to be right.
The UK Market went nowhere fast although as Gausie in the Traders room pointed out underlying the big picture there was many a move in the fine detail.

The Markets in the US had a better day and closed up on highs for the day but hardly a strong performance.

So having called that one right I am now elevating myself to Market Guru status and for Friday I predict that the USA will close near to flat.
DYOR NIAI etc.

Whilst checking out that I had not been so bold as to forecast anything before I did find how difficult it was to search for all the old traders threads. Searching by creator name is rubbish here and searching by epic does not work as Croc and I have been using a new epic each day.

So I took a decision whilst I continue to host this thread (I can be very potent at times) to change the way this thread is presented.
Call it the Traders Thread as that is what it is but to honour its founder by using CROC as the epic rather than in the title so old threads can easily be found by searching under Epic CROC (upper case) in the future.

Good Hunting
Guru of Oxon

Thanks as usual Martini

Brave prediction on the US tomorrow :-)

i cant see much change between now and july 4th.

Evening all

Sorry just got to do something for M.

'I must not post to the old thread after the new one is up'
'I must not post to the old thread after the new one is up'
'I must not post to the old thread after the new one is up' x 200

OK I cheated but I couldnt sit down to type for much longer- my thighs hurt :>)

:)

Just one more time so I remember

'I must not post to the old thread after the new one is up'

Nite M

FRI FTSE PP

R2 4504
R1 4495
PP 4485
S1 4476
S2 4467

Ftse closed below its pp but gained 5.2 pts in the auction! Traded sideways after breaking out of the downtrend, pivots accurate for Fri, double top at R1 to watch and s1 the low, cont strength with dow close above 400 and weakness on a sub 370 close imho, uptrend still intact on dow above 10360 the real key level however!

Morning punters.

I'm yawning already. Not expecting fireworks today, but you never know your luck.

Longs on ALM, IMG, JKX, short RR.

News very thin on the ground and quite amazing each morning how much is devoted to the big boys buying back their shares. Can't these highly paid chaps and chapesses find anything better for their investors?

Cattles (CTT) must investigate this further. It is a sector Ive been trading and news might affect KGN.

Banks (UB81) might be a focus today?

Elan (ELA) might perk them up?

Have a good day.

Morning all,

Managed to make "watching" the auction this morning!

Morning all! Butting in, as ordered ;) . Thanks for the welcomes yesterday. DATA broke out yesterday and opening up slightly again this morning. FTSE likely to snooze with US shut. Might be little more action on CAC and DAX ahead of Euro-election results?
