U.S stocks failed to find direction with some weaker than expected earnings and economic news, the continued high price of oil and Friday's monthly options expiration.

Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries reported a 5.3% inline rise in half-year profits of 31.7m and added that current trading was in line with expectations.

Cadbury Schweppes said it was cautiously optimistic about the outcome for its full year and expected to deliver results within its target ranges, However its costs have risen faster than inflation.

Hilton Group said that profits for the first four months of the year had doubled, as the hotel sector continues to recover from last year's slump.

Tomkins engineering posted higher profits of 69 million pounds above expectations, and said key markets improved in the period as its three-year restructuring plan showed results.

Ah but don't you find sometimes this is more enjoyable than the working
bit LW (lol) unless of course its a day like yesterday when it was nice to
forget it and do some real work instead.
How's your golf going? and did you wash the offending mess off your car?

It looks good today, reasonable proportion of blue around and the DOW
also looks positive - fingers crossed....

little woman - 21 May 2004 15:32 - 24 of 35

No I didn't wash my car, but it started raining heavily when I was on the 10th. So I gave up, as I don't like playing in the rain, and the car got a rinse!

Errrrr the dow & ftse are heading south - and hour left until UK close. A lot can happen 60 min.

stockbunny - 21 May 2004 15:53 - 25 of 35

Yes I spoke too soon, it looked quite good there for a while
although nothing spectacular most are holding minro gains,
a day for being thankful for small mercies I suppose.....

Mayby not! Heading north again! Dow needs to break 10,000 and stay above it for the FTSE to do anything. But even if it does, chances are the FTSE will start down on Monday, as the presumption that the DOW won't hold etc. etc.

stockbunny - 21 May 2004 16:05 - 28 of 35

Personal opinion only, but I get the feeling a lot of people on the
markets need to calm down a bit and have needed to for the last week
or so. OK so US interest rates could go up, but they couldn't stay
at 1% for ever and I can't believe the US economy would come crashing
down on a rate increase, plus the price of oil has been high before
and it drops just as fast as it goes up, again hardly likely to send
all reality crashing to the floor!
Seems since the crash in 2000, people are scared quickly these days and
profit take instantly on the slightest thing as if the end-is-nigh...
The yo-yoing across the world these last couple of weeks has been
amazing - up 100+, down 100+ it seems panic driven at times....

Stockbunny, thanks for that bit of practical enlightenment. Anything you like in the Tea Room, on me :-))

stockbunny - 21 May 2004 16:35 - 30 of 35

Sorry had to have a 'put the world to rights' moment!
So this is where you've been hiding this afternoon,
hope it's been a good day and be lucky!!

optomistic - 21 May 2004 16:42 - 31 of 35

You bunnies take some keeping up with!! see you over there.

stockbunny - 21 May 2004 16:45 - 32 of 35

OK so who's chasing who here....
(runs out back to the tea-rooms...)))
