Downloaded a Windows security update which froze
my laptop up on the reboot.
Ended up having to take the battery out to reset
everything.
Tried to sign in to CMC and it took 3 attempts
and a twenty minute wait.
Guess its not my day.:-(

Until you convert it to cash, a paper profit is a paper profit.
Hope that helps. ;-)

You'll only catch the bottom and the top if
you are lucky.
Be happy that you got the trend right and took
a chunk.

The trading seems a bit subdued for the close - no last minute flurries........
I won't be able to do much tommorrow, except for first thing in the morning. I put a couple of "dream limit sells" in place in case!
Melnibone - 12 Nov 2003 16:25 - 28 of 34
FTSE starting to get near possible shorting territory.
Tell you what, I'll try and organise a blow-off bounce
for your sells before I open my short. ;-)

In case anyone hasn't noticed, VOD is at it's 129p
resistance level.
Unless it's going to do a breakout there's a danger that
it will lead the FTSE down.
Depends on what it reports.
I think that's next week, but not sure, haven't checked yet.
