The major US indexes closed little changed despite a late-session attempt at a rally, as investors played it cautious following the morning's upbeat economic reports and ahead of the next session's spate of economic news. the Dow Jones finished up 16.15 , S&P up 1.81 and the Nasdaq down 4.10. The FTSE is forecast to open little changed but the day before Thanksgiving is often volatile with a 100 point plus move on the markets. We also have a raft of US economic reports to get through. British Land The UK's second-biggest property firm posted a slight rise in first half net asset value on Wednesday and said it saw encouraging signs for the central London property market.

My LLOY are making a nice profit finally!

I won't be able to post much today.
My ISP (NTL), seems to be having problems.
It's taken me 40 minutes to get this far.
Certainly can't trade like this, too big a danger
of not being able to close a losing position.
Good luck to all of you and pleased to see that
LLOY is coming good for you little woman.

since 1830 hrs last night.
I see the FTSE is at the top of the trend channel.
Will take something special for it to break through
it today.(Famous last words)

mobile day on the share price front....

hold on until break-even - 133p or thereabouts - and take a view at
that point whether to hold for long after the 'merger payout'happens.
We will get 7-odd pence per GAA share I believe....

FTSE running true to form, up to the top of the trend channel
and down again. :-)
How far down do we go?
My crystal ball's fogged up.
Anyone else got a view?

be trying to hold.
If the S@p goes down a few more points it will hit
support.
The news was good so the rot may stop here.
With a bit of luck this may be near the bottom of the
day for the FTSE.

Melnibone - 26 Nov 2003 16:06 - 21 of 37
so this is where it needs to hold.(Circa 1050 )
If it starts to push through to 1048 it's tin hat time.
Melnibone.
