Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

Email sent Fred, by the way I have assumed that you are a male Surviver.

Topics, which we could think about..



1) how long will the Bull continue to run
2) Stop losses , based on range support lines, percentages or luck
3) which would be the best defensive stocks
4) are CFDs or sharebets of value in changing trends
5) Any room for high yield stocks in a portfolio
6) Any room for gilts and bonds


Any stockbrokers grumbles?

Hi, I should actually be able to make that if you don't mind me joining you....
5pm is OK - but more than happy to make it earlier i.e. 4 as suggested by Stan as a possibility....
PS Correct - I'm male .... and my moneyam e-mail is set-up now...
Are there only three moneyam BB users in / around this "vibrant and cultural hotspot". (Quote from the new Lonely Planet guide to Great Britain).

I am happy to make it 4pm if Stan is agreable.

4pm It Is then.

Regarding numbers we have had enquirers In the past but so far It's been just a couple of us as regulars.

Look forward to the 13th June at 4pm.

& let's 'hope' the weather then will be the same as presently this Thursday afternoon...... nice, sunny & thirst stimulating .....

Ain't it quiet!
I am wondering! again!

I have been looking at data supplied by various platforms on loan stock, futures and options wondering! how to interpret the data and what the significance the information might have to trading and long term investing maybe.

Hopefull that you two can supply the answers on the 12th.

Hopefull's the right word where I'm concerned on the stats and tables -): however we will have a gander and hope that S87 can add some light.

Oh and Is It not the 13th Fred?

Stan, Apologies. Just getting excited. Mind I am usually late so this is good sign.

The 13/6/07 at 4pm at the Old Joint Stock

Beach In the Bullring looking an interesting outdoor venue if this weather keep's up chaps....buckets and spades optional -):

Needs a socket.

True, roll on solar powered computers becoming financially viable (about 5 years ) according to this weeks Working Lunch who are featuring all things sensible power generation from America.

Stan, put the following note on Sharescope BB:-

Another attempt, to get a group of people of various backgrounds together who are interested in trading and investing.
At the moment for the next meeting there will be three of us.
Therefore any new faces will be welcome.
We are not quite novices but are still in the learning phases.

Next meeting the 13th June at 4pm.

The Old Joint Stock (Pub)
(Temple Row opposite the Birmingham Cathedrals entrance.)

Looks good to me Fred, but will it move the locals? Only time will tell.

"1) How long will the Bull continue to run"....

by next week then perhaps that might be:
1) Has the bear market started?

Let's see if B'ham has more than 3 PI's next week...!

"2) Stop losses , based on range support lines, percentages or luck"

"To Stop or Not to Stop" article in this weeks Shares Mag coincidently (haven't read It yet myself) for interest.

Survive, by next week I may not have enough to buy a pint of beer or the bullets for suicide.

Stan, will read it, but I have cashed in a large portion of holdings for a while.

"Survive, by next week I may not have enough to buy a pint of beer or the bullets for suicide."

1. Same old excuse eh Fred -):

2. Very wise In my view.

Survivor, to recognise us, Steve is the one wearing a skirt and I will have a long hiking stick and carry a computer.

Who ever gets there first, tell the barman and he will probably direct you or us in the right direction!

OK.Thanks. Noted. (Is that a skirt or kilt?)
