Ok, I'm calling the bottom here. Of course if I'm wrong I shall continue to call the bottom over and over.

The price of oil might get in the way of my prediction!

Yes Brent dipped below $82 earlier.

In case you've been away this week! :- European shares hit 20-month lows as Wall Street rout sparks sell-off

Its been a right old rout for many of the AIM big guns (FEVR blue).

Whilst I don't have anything like FEVR or VRS the impact on the rest of the market has been pretty clear. My low cap stocks are struggling and NMD in particular has fallen on almost no volume. PCF just as bad today.

I perceive (lol) anything could happen yet with AIM, whilst I think the wider market will stabilise here. Oil worries me as it could easily fall 20% from here applying further pressure on stops on unrelated stocks.

It's mess. I see the market cap of VRS is still £182m and TERN £30m. AIM may have far further to fall yet although maybe a dcb for now

US earnings announcements for today

Lloyds awards £30 billion investment contract to BlackRock

Sounds good on the face of it Skinny for you Lloyd’s owners.

Nice. I am long LLOY today from the opening auction at 58.89.

The speed of the rise seems to be accelerating. RBS on a mission as well.

As for the dog Aviva - it's stuck for the moment

CC,

I think you are holding BARC.

If not have a look.

Reasonable yield can be viewed with an optimistic "gullible" eye to have a triple bounce.

With support ar 167.

Otherwise, it is an awful chart.

I have a large holding which is kicking me below waters at the moment.

Check it out.
