Morning all

Morning all.

Good morning!

I wish it was.

arrghhh.

My day not so bad as MARS is going up (although that is starting to give way now) and my bigger holdings are steady apart from RBS.

I can't believe I just closed my RBS intraday long at 242.5. for 0.7 pts. less my trading costs gives me not very much

It's scary out there. I don't like this sort of selling on Friday. It tends to carry on into the close on average.

Even Barnier's comments haven't helped the Brexit stocks except for a 20 minute interlude as the buyers temporarily beat off the sellers. The sellers seem to be still going.

I dunno. LLOY in particular looks stupid. What's LLOY which is basically now a domestic bank got to do with contagion from Turkey and Argentina?

It sure is interesting though. I can't help but feel there is some good money to be made here. I've put the hedge-cutter away and will watch with interest for the rest of today

Earlier this week I was surprised that being overweight in Construction, House building, and Banks that I was on the week up. That has changed.

I hold AZN and AHT which have served me well, but not happy trying to make sense of the charts.

I think charting in torrid waters is like canoeing rocky waters.

At moment, I don't know which part of my body is uncrossed.

Just started a new compost heap. Might get in it.

If it's any help Fred I think you will be ok in the long run.

Your three main sectors will all be fine as the demand exists and the economy is growing. Profits in these companies are growing, dividends are growing or stable.

I expect they will all rise as we head towards Christmas.

Agreed, I live in hope!

-==--=

IBS.

Maybe worth a look.

I hold some and bought some more at 243p.

SP dropped back on "poor" results. (? winter)

The results are not bad.

Div slightly up.

Projections are good and you can't build houses without bricks.

The SP dropped on declaration day and followed by some buys by Vulcan and some "directors" on the same day.

DYOH.

Worth a thought.
