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

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.


Topics, which we could possibly consider:-


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 share bets of value in changing trends
5) Any room for high yield stocks in a portfolio
6) Any room for gilts and bonds
7) Any stockbrokers grumbles?


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.

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?)

"(Is that a skirt or kilt?)"

Neither If I've got anything to do with It -):

....Could be wellies though having looked at the weather forecast!

Looks like I will have to wear the skirt again.

.....If you do you'll be sitting on your own -):

well, if it's 'skirts', then it'll have to be Hurst Street....

i might go to Waterstones and / or Maplins first. Therefore might have relevant plastic bag with me ....

We will be seated at the back on the right as you come in, it's where the socket is for Fred's computer. I will probably be in a blue shirt.

See you later.

Hope all got home safely.

For me it was an interesting evening, (But I am easy to please.)

It was interesting to hear what is on others screens and also how they arrived there.

It is a pity that the pub was a bit "noisy"

Might be reasonable to me earlier next time.


Good luck in tomorrow's market.

Yes, a most enjoyable evening and nice to get a fresh view.

Noisy and got Smokey (which of course won't be a problem next time) later on.

An earlier start should be quieter which I would be agreeable to.

Dow finished up 187pts I see tonight, will we follow tomorrow?

Hi.... nice to meet you both and discuss various (financial & non-financial) matters. The smokey smell on my clothes was commented on as soon as I stepped thru the front door ....

Look forward to meeting up again in the future. Happy with an earlier start as well.
Best Regards.....
