Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

Suggest you change your profile then otherwise we won't know what to believe!

Have done HC.

SOLA will open stronger in London on Monday as Wall Street recovered and closed with at least a modest gain ...... FTSE indications at NY close were for an opening on Monday of +80, though of course this will probably change over the w/e, though not necessarily for the worse ...... this takes me back to the point i have made a few times about switching between London SOLA and NY SOL (Sola ADRs)

Harry, catching falling knives springs to mind! I should say that the biggest losses are made by getting in too early (as are the biggest profits) I've read somewhere that the safe money is by waiting for confirmation of a trend and trading the middle third.

There should certainly be significant support at the 400p level, not only from the obvious longer term uptrend support, but there is also a less obvious downtrend which intersects in the same area. In other words this is quite a crucial area for the short to medium SP movement. I can't really see much in the indicators to suggest a reversal, but then it isn't always (if ever) clear cut. It does appear that the latest fall is linked with lower than average volume which suggests that the fall is nervous sellers bailing out in a generally falling market rather than holders abandoning SOLA with company performance concerns. I would agree with Cynic, if the markets recover so will SOLA, so it's all down to determing the overall sentiment.

however, beware of getting suckered by a bounce, or put another way, stay watchful and nimble, as it is unlikely to be long-lived - something at which i am total crap!

The market is just terrible at the moment.....my portfolio is a sea of red....but I'm going to have to sit through it all and hopefully come out the other end intact....sold many stocks but made the mistake of not selling everything....hoping for a rebound soon !.

Depends on whether you held on to stocks which still pay a divi.
I still hold BG. & BLT which are both showing red, but at least they will generate an income, so selling everything isn't necessarily the best solution.

worth watching this one today with a potential view of buying ahead of NY open

Good point.
Too early yet to take a any notice, but DOW futures currently +222 !

banked half my Dow profits .... spread on SOLA is currently 10p which is nuts ..... may get on to market to see if i can deal well inside

Fow whatever reason, support in the 400p region has held, at least for now :)

morning guv .... was merely thinking of a quick trade

SOLA in my opinion won't hold out for long

SOL U.S. didn't bounce up as expected. Currently down 4%.
Interesting to see if SOLA follows tues.

inevitably so

Did you say you went long on this Cynic?

yes, but cut

Hmm - fallen below 400p: may after all retrench to 360p?

or back to 220p!

but the stock cannot be shorted either in london or ny
