You boys concentrate on the market!!
Let others do the drinking.
Worth a look.
RBS and EZJ seem to be prepared for uptrend. I have SBs and Shares in them. Sold Shares bets CART at 93 bought at 58, although I still think they are worth over 300+, holding shares in them still. The spread widens sometimes during the day, so be careful. Will possibly buy back when review sentiment.
What are you in?

Imagine what a draw an indecent Pub would be for the meetings!
That could be what we are missing.

Well, in times of unusual volatility it's often cheaper to drink than to invest / trade.... and certainly a lot less stressful.....
Presently not in to any short term trading.... Holding on to some tech stocks that should have 'potential' as the relevant niche technologies come good: EGX, MVH, PYF, SRT. SNS.
Anyway, I'm now switching off my pc and awaiting dinner to be accompanied by cold Singha Beer - which Sainsbury's were selling off cheap at 1.50 for large (630ml) bottles .... Singha and sunshine at same time - quite relaxing....

Well the Southerner in Southampton was an indecent pub - that's why it retains my fondest memories still - a quarter of a century later....

Well, Fred, as you know I'm always 'optimistic' that the worst will happen.....
At least REH is up this morning.....
PS: Wonder what the barman at the food throwing pub (O.J.S.) thinks about the 'mini-panic'?

>Living in a city can play strange tricks
It's the excess of electro-magnetic waves around in cities that does it - therefore the bigger the city the stranger the tricks.... The only long solutions are to either move to Henley-in-Arden or drink plenty of ale ....
