Testex,
There should be no problems at the moment, was this a problem when you were logging in?

Hi LW
I'm sure its nothing that you have said, they are probably all still out at lunch, or considering buying SBRY. Have looked at these, I feel that they must be a short term trading situ?

Ah so you didn't break it as you feared Little Woman (lol)
good to see the investors room traders thread up and running as usual.
FTSE up generally - but most of my shares down, such is life!
Good luck one and all - coffee and don'nuts on the side.

Afternoon all, just logged on again.
Had the same problems as the rest of you after my last post.
All I got when I tried to log in to the Investors' Room was
lines of code talking about 'Java' or something.
IMT still looking good, 12p up on this stock now.
If it wasn't going ex-divi tomorrow I would have
took it by now.
Have been literally watching paint dry, just finished
putting the last coat on the porch ceiling whilst
watching the market action on Bloomberg. :-)
Melnibone.

You never make a mistake when you take profits.
All they are until you take them are a notional value
that someone else may or may not pay you for the stock.
Might do the same myself, never hurts to lock some in.
