Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

So who turned off all the communication links???????????????????????and why?????????

10/1 on that it was the pilot, for whatever reason

Insurance pay out?

Gambling debts? Blackmail?

Why did it take two weeks to sort out the satellite data?

New Data Indicates Missing Jet Crashed in Indian Ocean

March 24, 2014

Malaysia says a new analysis of satellite data indicates its missing passenger jet crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday that a more thorough examination of the flight's path, based on satellite data collected by a British company, showed that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 plunged into the water in a remote location west of Perth.

"It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

He said that relatives of the 239 people on board the planned flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing had been told of the fate of the Boeing 777.

His announcement came as an Australian Navy ship tried to locate several objects seen by aircraft searching for the missing plane in the southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Australia.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the HMAS Success is at the scene where planes spotted at least two objects floating in the water. He described the first as grey or green and circular, and the second as orange and rectangular.

Earlier Monday, China said its one of its search planes had spotted two "relatively big" floating objects and several smaller white ones scattered over several kilometers of the ocean.

Planes and ships from several countries are searching remote waters 2,500 kilometers southwest of Australia.

In another development, the U.S. Navy says it is sending a black box detector to aid in the search for the plane. The Navy says the "Towed Pinger Locator" could detect the missing airplane's black box to a depth of about 6,100 meters.

The black box recorder contains detailed information about what takes place on an aircraft.

France reported Sunday picking up satellite-generated radar echoes of possible debris in the southern Indian Ocean, similar to earlier satellite photo images collected by Australia and China. That led Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to voice the hope that a breakthrough is possible to find the Boeing 777 with 239 people aboard.

The Malaysia Airlines passenger jet disappeared while on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There has been little evidence of what happened to the jet.

He said based on information provided by British satellite company Inmarsat we have concluded that the plane flew along the southern corridor in which its last position was in the middle of southern Indian Ocean.

04:10 pm: More than hundred people interviewed so far, says Malaysian minister

Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has said that more than a hundred people have been interviewed by the Police in a bid to get clues regarding the Malaysian jet mystery.

Those interviewed include the families of pilot and co-pilot. Earlier, the FBI experts had suggested that pilot's estranged wife Faizah Khan must be interviewed to get clues about the mental state of the man piloting the ill-fated plane.

03:45 pm: Objects could be received within next few hours?

Kindling hope in the hunt for the missing jet, Malaysian minister Hishammuddin Hussein has said that the objects sighted by the RAAF Orion could be retrieved in "next few hours or by tomorrow morning".

"HMAS Success is in the vicinity and it is possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours, or by tomorrow morning at the latest. Three search areas, totalling approximately 20,000 square nautical miles, have been identified for operations today," he said in a statement.

Investigators are not ruling out anything, including catastrophic mechanical failure, pilot sabotage or terrorism.

Days before she was shot and killed through a bathroom door, Reeva Steenkamp sent a text message to her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius, saying she was scared by “how you snap at me.”

Lots of us also saw Pistorius 'losing it excessively' when he lost his paralympics race and threw his toys out of his pram concerning the blades used by Richard Whitehead. Pistorius reckoned they were too long and thus unfair. Looking at the physical body shape of Richard and the length of his blades and his height whilst wearing them, the comment from Pistorius was blatant 'sour grapes' - but expressed extremely so angrily and vehemently.

Looks like he completely 'lost it' on the night of the incident, IMHO. My £5 says the lady judge will feel exactly the same.

As to whether that was therefore murder or manslaughter we will just have to wait and see. Another £5 from me says she will put him in jail for quite long while.

If it was Insurance pay out? it would have crashed soon after take off over the sea and not have altered the flight route

True.

The flight route change is the most puzzling thing. But what about if it was an insured hijacker and not an insured pilot or co-pilot?

Unless whoever didn't want the plane to be recoved , so chose the deep Indian Ocean

There you go.

GF.

I was interested in your Trading system.

Are you using shares, Share bets or CFDS or other margin products when using your system?

Interested because of your target are over a sometimes longer periods than I would expect, if using margin.

Interesting.

having started off thinking there was something sinister, i am now of the opinion that it was just the pilot who "lost the plot" completely, probably due to personal reasons - e.g. huge gambling debts

There were two pilots.

That would mean the co pilot was out of the cockpit and couldn't get in for 7 hours.

More like an electrical problem.

ExecLine - post 38742 - my £5 says you are right. I hope he does get put in jail for a long time.

Pretorius guilty. Several accounts of woman's screams before shots. Blood on wall near bed and on duvet,

At least with no jury, you just have to bribe one judge.

depends how obvious it is or was that the various instruments etc had been tampered with and/or i guess the co-pilot could have been put out of action one way or another

He's into guns, fast cars, pornography, pretty blondes - if he had a male judge then he might stand a slight chance! This trial could probably be stopped right now and I could say the defence don't have a leg to stand on, but in the circumstances that is probably a very inappropriate comment. ( post 38752 )

The passengers would have known that it was going wrong way at some point.

Fred I based it for illustrative purposes on £1 a point S/BET.

In a real situation you would firstly and always decide what you pre- determined stop loss is first ie, 2% of your total portfolio. For example £2,000 quid of a £100,000 total portfolio.

Then you would decide what size of bet you were going to go for.

Say in this example £200 a point therefore £200 / £2,000 = 10 points, therefore present SP was 52p, your stop loss would be set at 42p and because your aim is to at least double your loss the SP target would be 52p plus 20 points =72p. If you hit this you can then let it run with a tight following stop loss.

All the time if your making a gain youd be moving your stop loss at 42p up anyway.

You can use this system on S/Bets CFDS or shares.

I think this explains it a bit better than the one yesterday where I was trying to accomodate the chart into the 2*2 system and over complicated it a bit.

Hope this explains it a bit easier, let me know if you require further info.

cheers gf.
