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

Hope you got home OK. Pleasant evening . Some advantages to alocohol free dining. At least if you get lost your sober. Talking about BRW last night found I had been stopped out with profit of 50%.

Home safe and sound thanks Fred,

50% profit "banked", now thats what I like to here.......can't beat It.

As was said (restaurant without license gives us options) maybe a good format for future meets Instead of pub.

1st Balti most pleasant, mind you a bit pricey at 32.............. 10 quid each including sweet

Last of the big spenders?... you bet -:)

where did go for your balti men??? and was it nice. Forgot to mention they are nearly all ''take your own''

It was called the "Plaza" Kivv and we were the only one's In there at 1st ( and only 1 couple when we left) we chose that one because the other two had no menu In the window and we couldn't be bothered to go Inside and ask.

I thought the food was good, and the waiter was slightly" Basil Faulty" which added to the night.

Overall I thought It was good value and enjoyed the evening, also there Is a good little parking bay (room for about 20 cars right on the street) so good for security on the night.

If your free next month how about joining us? I'm going to check the public transport situation for options.

Yes, we'll need to bring our own booze and maybe a 2kw heater if it's a chilly night!

....Well there Is that of course -:)

Happy NEW YEAR R R R r .

Any thoughts about next meeting at the Anchor etc. My daughter is being admitted for surgery on 6/1/2006 but should be OK for a meet about a week ten days after that. (I am not doing the chopping)

Think we could try a little more exchange of "dealing" methods or views. Fed up with Stan getting all the ACES.


Regards.

Can anyone remember what that chap was saying about AMT when we were in the Anchor a few weeks ago?

Stan and 55011, Back from the smoke. Daughter's op. seems successful. With her and her three others sisters healthy again, I need an op., or a pint at the Anchor.

Any ideas about when?

Happy New Year, Fred, even if it is a bit belated.

Glad to hear that the op seems to have gone OK. These things are not without risk, or so they always tell us........................

No travel plans fixed yet, still "recovering" from the excesses of Christmas. Just pottering about doing bits and pieces, and tasks put aside for "rainy days", (oh and watching L2 for the last few days). It's still on offer, if you are quick, and it gets round L1 being contended too. Now the price has dropped it is tempting, but there is still a hefty mark up on what the LSE charges. Maybe a generous broker will start to offer it..........

So, any time for the Anchor as far as I am concerned.

Not seen anything of Stan of late. Hope he is OK. Perhaps he is in hiding with all his profit making? Or in Switzerland.....?

How about Tuesday 24th Jan 4.30pm at the Anchor?
Would consider a Chineese or curry afterwards.

If Stan doesn't surface I will E-mail him.

A view re L2. Might generate a bit of discussion. We need to understand it as it is spreading across more and more stocks now.


Effectively there are now three layers.

1. The prices and volumes the various named MMs set.

2. Prices and volumes set by others within the named MM prices.

3. The price investors get when dealing with so-called price improvement systems, such as with on-line brokerages.

Trades on the system "take out" either of the first two above, but the third, at best, can only indirectly influence the prices set by the first two.

All good fun, and it's always better when our holdings are rising!

Yes, interesting topic. Date?

As stated. OK with me.

Difficult Christmas break knocked me for six also taken a few things on to many, trying to get back Into It slowly, but proving hard work.

I think 24th Is OK but will confirm at later date.

Hope things keep fine with your Daughter Fred.

Happy New Year All.

Happy New Year , Stan. We were starting to wonder if anything was up. Hope you manage to get on top of everything again. The market hasn't gone away, so we are still "at it".

Thanks 55, 24th (next Tuesday) Is fine by me.

Wouldn't say no to a Chinese or Curry as Fred suggested either, what's the overall feeling boys ?

OK with me.

OK I see if I can find a Chinese or Edwina to bring along! 8-)

Had a look at Wing Yip Restaurant, a little out of the centre, but they have a wide buffet type menu which might suit us.
The Restaurant is part of the Supermarket complex. Ate there about 10years ago the eggs were good, should be vintage by now.


Meet as usual about 4.30p back bar of the Anchor.
