One chocolate iced Krispy Kreme for snoball coming up.
My download's done, so I'm going to browse through my list and call it a day. TTFN and come on Chelsea tonight.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts is a company EK was shorting for a long time. I can't remember if he was successful or not. The yanks love the product apparently.

Welcome Jules, we have a small but friendly clientele and 'virtually' any food or drink you can imagine, and it's all FREE. Yippee!

Are we up for a good day on the FTSE tomorrow, +194 close on the DOW tonight is bit of a jump.

hello Jules99, you found the Tea Rooms then, welcome.
Looks like a blue day tomorrow, Socs.....so maybe a glass of champagne? Hope the cold is easing up now and you will be able to appreciate the elegance of this extremely expensive bottle!

Yes I could do with a kicker of a blue day. I am just a gnats leg away from my portfolio cost line being crossed by the value line (my version of a golden cross), then I shall feel I'm really motoring. As for the bubbly, I keep the very best for you but to be honest it gives me heartburn. I'll settle for a half decent sweet Cava. Looks like I'll have to keep the cold Chablis on one side, I think Hilary has gone to bed early.
Jeffmack
Yes I saw it, didn't say a lot did it? I was just having a forage around in Companies House today. Wiggins still listed there, interestingly there are five (I think) Planestation companies also listed.
Also looked at the LSE site, Wiggins still listed as 'Construction Other' and still showing as suspended. I just had the thought that there might have been some change that had gone un-noticed.
Right, that's it for tonight. I'm off to Bedfordshire, g'night all.

Socs Good night
I must admit I am finding it hard to find undervalued companies at present.
I have looked at companies in the manufacturing industry who have switched prodution from the uk to cheaper parts of the world.
However I am rather fussy at the moment and the couple that turned up were not in sectors I like.
The best I came across was AXD but not 100% comitted.
PTO is worth a look IHHO...........

T_i_m,
I said some time back that I considered them to be worth, and felt they would go to, 20p. Nothing's changed. At this current level though, you've got to expect some pullbacks along the way.

Did you ever get into PDX? Could have double you money almost by now.
Socrates

No Jeff, to my great regret I never did. I am fully invested at present, at least as far as I want to be. I am still in the phase of trying to grow my portfolio at a safe but steady rate. I have a few certificated holdings that I shall sell soon. I shall salt some of the proceeds away and look for one or two good short term trades.
Did you buy PDX? I still think it has some milage in it.

Good evening drivethru, good to have a new face in the cafe. I think one or two of the habituees do the odd spread bet. The advice I had was "don't", so I don't. I'm quite happy with the stress and tension of investing in shares.
What's your tipple, the drinks are all free in here.

Evenin All, Socs send me a pint of either Marstons Pedigree or Fullers London Pride via satellite please, my system needs detoxing from all this wine.
Like Canada I'm trying to drink it dry!
By the by, Jeff also sent me the info re pdx, know him to be a great chap but failed to follow his info and now I'm doing a Basil Fawlty on myself, hitting my head on the wall. They were 47p to buy then!!
Regained some of my losses from past few days today but dissapointed to see it drop through the 4200 as I thought we were past those troubles.
Guess some good news from the yankees would help; such a shame we're influenced so largely by that lot. Same with the dollar; if there was some strengthening of it I'd see the rand/pound weaken allowing me to bring a decent amount in at maybe 14 to the .
Just brought another 3 bed appartment today, it will be built by May '04 and is virtually on the beach overlooking Table Bay/Robben Island, place called Blaubergstrand. Its a top surfing beach, about 2 miles long and home to the world surfing championship every year yet its only about 14k from Cape Town. Will be letting it out as a exclusive holiday let to Brits from about this time next year, special rates for Cafe crowd..lw
