Mitchells & Butlers pub operator reported a one percent drop in annual profits (just above analyst forecasts) and said the outlook for its business is improving but it remains cautious on the outlook for consumer spending.Securicor reported a slight rise in profits and said although it was still seeing tough trading it saw 2004 with confidence.

Foale, we're running late (although we investors don't get up as early as the traders!), or are on in the wrong room?

My plan worked and I got my two longer term stocks
back cheaper when the FTSE hit S1.
Now back to some scalping.

So we feel the news at 12.00 will be as expected - no rate change?
That's where my money would go...
Melnibone - 04 Dec 2003 10:01 - 12 of 26
FTSE nearly back to PP and nearly closed the gap.
That worked out quite nicely. Time for a coffee and
do a bit of watching whilst I work out my next moves.
All indices are looking good and still in trend, but
I really would like a pullback to limit the downside.
I get a little nervous when we are up near the trend
highs.

and the US reaction.
The big one comes tomorrow where 150,000 jobs
are expected to be added in the US.

daily reckoning always a good skim read
http://www.dailyreckoning.com/
*** What kind of a cynic would not love this wonderfully mad world? The Chinese work around the clock... save their money... and then lend it to rich spendthrifts who cannot possibly pay it back. The Americans take the money, mortgage their houses... and their government... and their children's solvency... to buy gee-gaws and gadgets that they don't need from the Chinese, even stomping on old ladies in their rush to load up on bargains at Wal-Mart. The Chinese then build more factories and hire more workers to create more products for the people who couldn't pay for the last products they sold... while the Americans, noticing only the rate of spending and borrowing, think they are 'recovering'... getting rich again, without actually saving any
money. Meanwhile, the currency in which all these transactions take place loses its value, day after day.

the effect of last nights Martini.
Futures are rising.
DOW back over 9900 and S@P knocking on the door of 1069.
We got the pullback during normal trading hours yesterday,
so unless they want to pocket some of Tuesdays profits
it will take some news to give a reason not to retest
yesterdays highs.
We'll find out in a few hours.
