Fundamentalist - thanks. It would be nice if there was good news. Bit of predictable profit taking now but I plan to hold for the time being.

zarif,
Just checked out your Livecharts and rather "nifty" if I may say so. Thanks

I agree with jj50 - I only trade UKX, Dax & CAC (and occasionaly AZN) & now I have a good source for free Dax & CAC I don't need to bother with Sharescope.

If the guy on channel 4's news is correct, ANL is rising due to
a rumour that our friends in Spain will come back and make another
bid for it...so this could have a way to run yet powered simply
on the mutterings around the city.

i plan to be holding for a lot longer than the time being! The fundamentals are excellent and the chart has now broken out - very little downside imho

Stockbunny, Bloomberg are running the same ANL story.

Melnibone.

Thanks Melnibone that's interesting to know, it's anyone's guess
on where this price is going - the intraday chart looks more like
a 'normal' company's 12-month chart! (Real yo-yo territory)
I'm holding these through an 'older method', so I'm playing this
'by hand' so to speak no stop-loss etc and the need to phone up to sell.
But (shock-horror!) I am in the process of moving holdings over
to an internet dealing account - Yes the bunny finally enters the 21st century!
(lol)

Well done bunny! Come and join us in the 21st century. Internet dealing is really not just cheaper but just so much easier. If I can do it, you can do it!

Having checked it out I must admit I'm impressed and the saving on
costs was really the main reason for me - cuts the margins to break-even
considerably. Will still hold a few (real long-term holdings) on paper
as I'm unlikely to sell those in a hurry. Anyone else out there who's
slightly nervous about going into electronic trading, it's not as scary
as it looks! (and that's from someone who refuses to buy/own a mobilephone....
I know sad isn't it!)

Word of warning, Stockbunny.

It's very, very easy to click a mouse instead of phoning
somebody up.
Be careful that you don't overtrade or get caught up in
following the intraday ticks to the detriment of your
medium and long term trading strategy.

You'll tear your hair out if you get caught wrong footed
by the games the traders get up to.

Melnibone.

Very true Melnibone, don't worry I have a cautious streak.

Just listened to the ANL update story on Bloomberg.

Rumour is that Santander is selling down its stake in RBS
and buying into ANL.

If it's true, this may also answer my question on why
RBS keeps dropping below 1620p.

I hate it when stuff seems to fit so logically like that.
I always get the feeling that I'm being manipulated.
I'm a fully paid up member of the Sceptic Society. :-))

Melnibone.

Isn't that the beauty of charts though Melnibone? I only trade on TA because imo on a short term basis price is the only relevant information.

Seeing as ANL is supposed to be a bid target, there seems to be
rather an indecent haste in taking profit today.

Beginning to sound like the games that regularly pump CTM up
and down.

Melnibone.

Morning...........well it is here.

Flight home today so will be around from Monday.

Still running longs on JKX, MRS and short WHT. All have done very well this past couple of weeks so really happy.

Hope you're all doing fine. See you next week with any luck.

Looks good for a long

Velocity, you read my mind.

Things to do. Must head off early. Have a good week-end everybody. Safe flight Big Al.

Thx jj
