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.

China backs stronger N Korea sanctions
skinny's post perhaps explains the above ...... china might well be an "enemy of the west", but it is also pragmatic and will not appreciate NK's potential destabilisation of the whole region, or in deed the world

Kenny Ball snuffs it.

This markets like watching paint dry. Do know if its just me but this increase in indicies doesnt seem to be coming down to my stocks.

Thought Id come up here for some excitement.

you want excitement? .... trade C+M Index, or even more hairy-scary HG+HC Index

See Tory big wigs are wanting shot of Camoron. Teresa May the next leader......jesus...... desperate.

Beginning to like that Davis bloke. Speaks his mind. Redwoods too posh ex public school boy etc etc. and Greylings too thick.

Boris would be the laughing stock and Osbourne seems to have too many fingers in too many outside pies.

IDS reminds me of one of Hitlers hench men and Hammonds a drip.

Partys in a desperate mess.

Ill only come back if they get Portilio installed as leader.

Too busy with his trains.

My days trading index are over Cyners. Now 39, too old its a young mans game that.

Portilio, yep but seems to have a lot of common sense.

How you doing on stocks skinny, finding it slow going compared to a week or so back?.

I think the fight between King with Cameron and Osborn is not good for banks like RBS and LLOYDS.

None of them are right, Cameron and Osborn do not bother about growth and King is coming with new ideas out of nowhere when he is leaving. He has nothing to loose by complaining NOW, and may just want reputation! so he can sell his time (lectures) at high prices.

Why is he complaining now?

Very good run on CIU and hoping for similar on LAM, out of TCG yesterday on job news.

What a lot of nonse from gf. Where does he get these bizzare rumours from. He must read the Socialist Worker or some other left wing rag. He is getting as bad as fred, maybe even worse.

sticky ..... just banked very decent profits on both the above, but confess my entries and exits are never based on logic i'm afraid, but i have certainly made far more than lost on them

Looks like the yanks are going to legalise interstate gambling, so 888 & BPTY doing well, for those looking for less 'slow going stocks'.

See Vince is stirring it up.

Camoron is in West Yorkshire today 12.00 on TV with his speech. Handpicked company probably 1 out of 100 thats doing well.

Hope somebody puts the question about Cables plan 1a to him.

Yep cyners just seems after a great run from xmas that ive hit the buffers but indicies still seem to be going up.

Harry - I mentioned ZNGA a couple of weeks ago - worth a look if you want a punt on gambling.

Zynga’s Online Gaming Push Faces Hurdles From Casinos

Well its either fishing or pub. or both.

laters.

sold HG+HC Index too early insofar as it has roared ahead a FURTHER 50 points since i got out - unbelievable

Silvio Berlusconi convicted over Italy wiretap

Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been convicted and sentenced to a year in jail over an illegal wiretap.

He was accused of arranging for a police wiretap concerning a political rival to be leaked and published in a newspaper run by his brother.

Mr Berlusconi is likely to appeal and will remain free in the meantime.

He is presently appealing against another conviction and faces two more verdicts in the coming weeks.

Strong character. he is paying millions of Euro to his former wife already to settle out of court.
