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

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

Sorry but you favourites are all gone. We are waiting for the brewers dray to turn up, one of the horses has gone lame. I've sent a few electrolitres of Theakstones Old Peculiar, I hope that will do.
Should we start an "I missed out on PDX" society?

I have the P800 and very good it is. I'm due an upgrade in Nov so will probably decide between XDA and P900.

Thanks - I will probably make a small investment at some point.
LW I thought Blabber Strand was an Aussie beach where they talked up their chances in the world rugby cup!

jeff: The XDA II sounds a great gizmo and should be a straight fight with the P900. I'll pick your brains then!

Socs I remember we used to have tanker loads of Old P. at our annual Fairport Cropredy re-union, oh the head aches after a w/end of that stuff,

Jeff..very honest of you to admit it, I've done the same recently with ATL who I recommended to Morose, I sold my stake for a reasonable profit, he bought and held, now coining it in.
I thought the P800 was the Volvo sports coupe that R.Moore aka 'The Saint' had in the tv series [remember black & White?] noo not the whisky...oh gawd!!
Vasey..no one's asked but wots the class about? Nothing vaguely erotic I suppose, belly dancing, reflexology [whoa boy!]
TIMbo..lot of talk about the World Cup out here; I already have two Cross of St George flags plus The Union Jack flying out on my balcony overlooking the 21st fairway, so everyone who plays is faced with them for their critical long second shot to the green, amazing how many balls seem to be flying off course into our lake! and two black caddies have asked me to get them the same England cap that I wear in all competitions; it really winds the Afrikaaners up..lol.
We're the team they all agree are favourites but I'm not counting my chucks just yet.
Off up the wooden hill, sleep well all.

I'm looking for a PDX replacement, not too many high tech ideas that are so innovative and practical too. I'll let you know when/if I find one. Mind you, PDX has a way to go yet I suspect.
