http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200408040700125952B.html

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200408040717346005B.html

I'm long AQP, ASC, DVO, HTG, MRS, TFC and short VAN.

Have a good day.

jj - indeed it has, but at least it's just a gentle drizzle on the garden. ;-)

I see the market gurus continue to focus on the bad news (or the none-news). Both Aviva and BSkyB put in great results today but are now suffering badly. The devil really is in the detail... ;-)

Busy morning.

Lobbed VAN -5
Lobbed TFC -2.5
Longed PCI 17.5p
Missed ASC addition at 56p - too slow! ;-((

morning all

Longed MPH 24.5p

re BSY if anyone has updata realtime then look at the daily candle volume chart. The last candle is long and very skinny and says that the stock was being sent as low as poss to test the lower limit. The width of the candle is proportional to the volume traded. So imo the fall has been overdone and will shortly be basing going by the bullish tail now formed

Evening all, didn't get a chance to check in this morning, so doing it now.

Nothing interesting seems to have happened today!

Nothing interesting LW? BArc, BSY, lloy....................

lw - LOL!

Crude oil moves to its lows of the day... Down over 1% to $43.35/bbl, the commodity has been prompted by Bloomberg reports that Russian court officials have authorized Yukos, the country's largest oil exporter, to use its accounts for payment of crude oil production and transport.

is that why the Ym is flying up atm -reckon sheer manipulation at times.
But who are we to question -they can do anything and be right.

I stand corrected PB, my excuse was my brief look, this evening. Nothing
caught my eye, so I didn't look any further! And of course there was not much posted on this thread during the day...............

You are forgiven LW:)
