Morning all,
Looks like the Shares Forum site has been taken down - either that or Conrad Wyndham has forgotten to pay the rent. I will be encouraging our little community to migrate to this thread in the hope that we can keep it going. We had a small but very select and very friendly group of posters whose only aim was to help each other make a few bob on the market - no egos! You are welcome to join us if you wish.

Opening Market Overview

You will always find a welcome here Lord Gnome. :)

HVE continuing its long descent into oblivion. Time to get the bin bag out. A salutary lesson in the benefits of setting proper stop loss levels.

RXP - looks like the attempted breakout failed and we're back in the old trading range. Still waiting for good news from the drill bit to ignite this. I could be waiting a long time - I already have!

CHU looking strong today. Are we about to make progress?
