Outlook

S/guide

Good morning all from a cold North Wales. The tip of Snowdon is white this morning. Looking forward to seeing BARC at 630p - only 9p to go. Hope next divi. will be 17.5p to 18p.

Good morning all,

lost another 6. yesterday - but this morning its looking good!

Long FTSE100, DAX etc..... of course until I close the positions the money is not profit - but the potention is already over 15.

Not going to make enough to live on - but then my risk is only a total overall of 70p per point at the moment!

Morning All.

As usual - better than expected Q3 results from BT.A and the price drops :-)

LW - It is the longer-term outlook for BT that worries the City, I think.... :-(
