Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Sorry skinny.

Ok, not to worry :-)

I'm worrying, thought they closed at 4.30 + 5.

IG cash FTSE = 6316/6319 = +1 since the close, as i write

this is the "real time" price if you're dealing in CFDs, so an s/b price or spread may be different, but i wouldn't have thought that it really should not vary much

Thanks cynic - I hope its CMC that's wrong!

Caps spread price (incredible had to refresh off the chart)

6342.3 - 6343.3 + 67

sounds to me like you guys are getting badly stitched by your providers, especially if you have stops ..... certainly worth x-checking with IG with a view to changing

IG cash FTSE "real time" for dealing in CFDs is now 6325/6327

Not trading it cynic, so not concerned.

Do live in or around Lancashire Stan?

even so chris, if Caps swindle their clients so blatantly on just the index ......

3m - that beef cheeks recipe worked a treat in the end; had some for lunch at the office

Never had any problem cynic, prices are indicative so accept and trade accordingly.

I will make it sometime cynic - a little off my food at the moment, never felt good since the chest infection.

No 3 monkies, Shropshire, but support a Lancs football team.

Which one stan.

You obviously don't look at the Footy thread 3m -): Burnley.

Correct stan I prefer rugby. Football unfortunately or fortunately has never bothered me. Each and everyone to their own.

Why would Amazon pay that much. They turnover about £3bn. They would only pay tax on the profit. Their margins on books etc are fairly small due to undercutting other suppliers. It looks another silly lefty idea.
