just read that in the tele it was for you harry

harry hope you are watching sky news

3 month high is 33.46 oerrr!

Now passed that, skinny!!! Just hope 33p holds so we can push to a new high.

34+

Awesome! Am selling at 36p, I hope!

35p just touched. Greedy to hope for 36p, or achievable?

I wonder if it might be best to get out ahead of the BARC results later in the week?
