See my remarks earlier ref no bond trading, therefore
just technical daytrades due lighter volume and few
new positions being taken.
But what do I know.

That's me done for the day.

If there is anyone on this thread interested or following Easyjet (EZJ) I would like to hear views. I have started to build a small LONG position (with stops) and hope to hold on until the 500p target price is reached.

Not sure how long you'll have to wait for 500p looking
at that chart. If you want an LTBH position then I think
that you are right to build into it.
I think you will get it cheaper.
I wouldn't touch an airline stock at the moment.
Terror alerts are again rearing their ugly head and
aircraft are being mentioned as specific threats.
Doesn't matter if it's cargo aircraft, it will knock
the travel industry.
Summer period is over, there's loads of competition,
and the old national encumbent airlines are getting
their costs and strategy in place to compete.
Not saying it won't go to 500p, eventually, but I suspect
that it will be later rather than sooner, and that the
financial geared plays on any upturn in the market will
react quicker and from a lower base if Croc's chart
has its dastardly way. :-)
