Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, but when did the American people ever pay attention to facts!

Melnibone - 15 Dec 2003 09:39 - 24 of 61

Bleeding typical!

MKS and MTN dropping on a good day and the one's
I've been following down, SBRY, waiting to buy
at the bottom of the trend channel are going back
up!

Don't you just love these markets.

Melnibone.

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 09:41 - 25 of 61

Just had a nice surpise - PIC limit kicked at a price better than expect so got a 12% return & one I forgot about KCOM which I picked up on Wed just sold with a 3% return (not huge but it all adds up!)

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 09:57 - 26 of 61

Streaming is playing up!

Melnibone - 15 Dec 2003 10:46 - 27 of 61

Is it my connection or has this site suddenly slowed down?

It's just took me 25 minutes to get back and edit an earlier
post where I put the wrong figure in, (4 points rise on the
FTSE for every one on the S@P instead of the 10 points that
I put).

Melnibone.

Melnibone - 15 Dec 2003 11:53 - 28 of 61

I've been posting so much negativity here I thought
I'd redress the balance and find a positive spin for
a change.

The S@P has been bumping up against the 1074 technical
resistance level.
This Saddam bounce has took it 10 points above that, so
with some luck on the Bulls side, this level may now
act as support when it drops back to test it.

This will limit the FTSE in how far it drops if the above
scenario plays out. Haven't got a crystal ball so I'll
wait and see the outcome with you all.

Time to get some stuff done, see you all when the US opens.
All to play for, depends what the US does, as usual.

Melnibone.

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 12:13 - 29 of 61

thanks Melnibone

All the other markets seem to be doing well.

LLOY hit 4.20 before dropping back slightly!

ThePlayboy - 15 Dec 2003 12:24 - 30 of 61

Testex-sorry for late reply have been out xmas shopping more stressfull than mkt! You may be right that may have been a minor correction, but really mkt has gone up in a straight line without any major corrections! I think they may seel the dow later in the day, no real euphoria here, just the people chasing the gap up as usual and panicing when the longs close, no real dip buyers atm either, just catching up on the mkt now!

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 12:30 - 31 of 61

Looks like its (LLOY) broken 4.20

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 13:03 - 32 of 61

Had a fright earlier - my brokers haven't reduced by BLLM holdings(1 for 100 held) so my account looks like I'm making mega bucks!

Share price initially dropped, but spread is no longer outrageous, so price going up.

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 13:05 - 33 of 61

LLOY back to 4.185

Fundamentalist - 15 Dec 2003 13:27 - 34 of 61

LLOY seems to be struggling to stay above 4.20. I'm long, but took profits on half and have left the other half running though with a tight stop. LW - are you holding, if so what target price ?

stockbunny - 15 Dec 2003 13:37 - 35 of 61

Both BRT and HAS (?) Hays have news announcements today of barclays
increasing their share holding percentage - Are the big financials
putting more money into the stock market currently or is this
just a coincidence? Anyone else found others also getting further
barclays interest??

Aside of that - GO HBOS & LLOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

little woman - 15 Dec 2003 14:23 - 36 of 61

Yes - but I'm holding out for 4.75 (but may give in before then)! I like the dividend, so keep telling myself to stick it out!

Melnibone - 15 Dec 2003 14:58 - 37 of 61

Afternoon,

US is behaving sensibly and is taking back some of the
gap open. If it had carried on zooming up this would have
set it up for an even bigger fall.

This has brought the FTSE back to R1 from this morning's R2.

What would be good for the Bulls was if all the markets took
back the gap open, held on supports and then started to move
back up.

Will be interesting to see what happens if we hit last Fridays
close in US and UK. That will be the critical point for the rest of this
weeks direction in my opinion.

stockbunny - 15 Dec 2003 15:07 - 38 of 61

I agree L.Woman - LLOY is hard to give up, like you I wont be tempted unless
it really is worth it -475 at least!! HBOS is different, but I am
still looking for way above the current level - like 810p
GAA is being pegged back every time it gains ground, RTR is similiar
and seems to be in for negative territory today.
Good Luck melnibone, Zarif & others playing the Dow!!

stockbunny - 15 Dec 2003 15:40 - 39 of 61

The FTSE is dropping back..

apple - 15 Dec 2003 15:41 - 40 of 61

I now know why OXB keeps going up, see news.

I would like to know how the big buyers found out over the last couple of weeks before us small sharehoders.

Up again today by 4.7%



Melnibone - 15 Dec 2003 15:42 - 41 of 61

FTSE getting progressively weaker as the important
two hours of the day(when the US is open), draw towards
the close. Meanwhile the S@P is trying to level out.

Could even see a flat finish at the 4347 area.

Melnibone

stockbunny - 15 Dec 2003 15:49 - 42 of 61

Which would be a slight let-down after the morning, thought
the Saddam euphoria (and if that's not spelt right phooey)
would be worth more of a prolonged FTSE hike - if it only ends
up a 6 hour wonder...well...pass me the wine bottle!!
