The engines have fired up at last for MDX. ( BPRG ) At long last they are being recognised for the force they will become over the next two years. On the cusp of disclosing huge revenue-earning deals with Global pharmacists. These have been hinted at as being unrolled before the years end, but may be in the next days.You still have time to get in at a bargain-basement price before the SP takes off for real shortly.

Morning all.lovely day in the Garden of Englandoff to take the dog for a walk and get the baguette. Let the fun commence!

It is no longer a safe bet to stock pick and simply short the FTSE indexat these levels I couldnt call it Batten down hatchesafter a near record last week for me I think Ill sit back and watch the professionals fu*k upstill fully hold my three nap hand stocks! Colossal drops today. Mdx another safe haven! Some real good bargains to be had by 2009. Anyone still in Banks are going to end up with what they deserve aucun argent! ..More chances than George Best had!

The global markets will not pick up anytime soon - it's become so easy to trade stocks you dont own that first reactions of the greedy majority now is to short, rather than invest rationally, regardless of the knock-on effect on the lives of others (job losses, worthless pensions etc......)

At some point (and it's very soon) one major government is going to get fed up trying to fund a balance of this base negativity and legislate against it..... and properly, not just for some of their 'financial' friends. As with everything, however, no-one wants to be the first, but some are close to breaking point right now.

The effect on current markets will be as dramatic an upswing as there has ever been any downturn, recession or not ......

There, that's a heavy start to the day :-)

What exactly are you suggesting that they legislate against?

bit of a bummer that GBP/USD trade hils :-)

I know, Dilbert. Unlike ChilliBoy, I'm not always right though.

I've shown him mine, I'm now waiting to see his.

:o)

As always BertI agree with most of your commentsone of the few posters on here worth listening to! If you can give it the time take a look at this.scary!!!!www.zeitgeistmovie.com

My little Waterford Crystalif you saw mine.it would make your eyes water.mind I couldnt imagine much water ever coming out of your eyes!my little sherbet lemon

Hey, I always shed a tear during The Sound of Music!

So do I my Tinky Winky.. watching the secret millionaire as they realise one by one what real people are like!

Whilst I'm thinking too much ..... I've dug out a new (old) business plan ....

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for 10 each. The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them.

The man bought hundreds at 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He then announced that he would now buy at 20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to 25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at 50. However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for 50 each."

The villagers hurried round with their savings and bought all the monkeys.

They never saw the man nor his assistant again, only bloody monkeys everywhere!

Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works!

Except in this case the monkeys are being sold sh*te.

So are you suggesting that the Government make it illegal to catch and sell monkeys? I would've thought it already is.

Do yourself a favour and watch the documentary.please! www.zeitgeistmovie.com

It will soon be illegal to sell monkeys you dont own !

Sorry Tab, No, I wont watch it - I'm having a tangential day .... might watch it tomorrow though :-)

Suns trying to come out so today has just become a 'ride my bike' day ..... catch you all tomorrow .... if you must do something, do something that doesn't hurt someone else !

Oh you mean like bank shares bert .... they haven't fared very well since shorting was banned now have they ?

You all overestimate the shorting effect on MDX imo , its going down cos there are no buyers easy as that.

It is impossible for humans to act ethical and truly in a decent waybecause of greed! We live in a monetary system!.the two dont work!

You'll find that the amount of net short interest in most markets really is negligible and certainly not enough to drive the price down. As Dilbert says, the price of stock generally falls as a result of general selling and a lack of buyers.

I think you guys have had your minds poisoned by numpty politicians who don't have a clue about how markets work and are simply looking for somebody to take the blame.

How sweet it is to be loved by you! The young and the innocent?there is no corruption around! watch the frigging documentary!

OK I'm the young one who's the innocent one ?
