Telkom SA at present putting a new switchboard in to my house to cope with demand.

Yesterday outside temp was 48 degrees, 42 in shade, it was the hottest day in Paarl for 37 yrs.[ what sad sod keeps these records...37 yrs?].
Lot cooler today, 35-37!! At least we have a breeze and are equipped to deal with it, pool, air con etc but will welcome some respite which should be soon...aagghh. I'll have a bowl of Socs icecold amarretto trifle..yummy

Pretty crap day thus far on my real portfolio..red, red, red..

It is indeed a red red day Little Willie.

Ps post cheltenham tips this weekend

Hi everyone poochy here for his usuall evening drinky.

My sister had news that she is getting married this year so i better go get a haircut.

Vasey, No lie but i had a dream about you last night! I was at this large gathering of people in this hall sitting down watching whatever it was when this woman steps upto me and recognises me. The woman was you vasey and we have a little chat and then..then .....then..im not sure! That's the second time i have dream'nt of Cafe folk! Hilary been the first.

Pint of Bods please.

Lord High, Im afraid you dropped out of the exclusive 100k club today - never mind. I hope you have some good horsey tips.

Golddog
No dreams of me, I'm shattered. LOL

I find that comment about your sister amusing, "My sister had news that she is getting married this year". Didn't she know about it before?

Life is such fun, fancy a Bods then?

I'm of up the wooden mountain, see you all tomorrow

Socks.

Afternoon campers,
Gd nice cup of hot mocha coffee and cheesecake.
I wonder what Gaffee,s Greenspan is going to throw today -Usually when he opens his mouth the DOw drops like a stone so will wait and see.

Ah poochy - Sister getting married...A hair cut is a fair
investment for such an occasion!! Is this a quiet wedding or
a penguin suit job?
I'm not a formal person but I know it's what
many do choose to have. Well enjoy it!!!

So how are we all? Zarif good to see you around again - on the
coffee rather than tea today? Sounds serious...

Socs says "Life is such fun"

Not if you are a cockle Picker and you cant swim

Ah more fried rice jokes..
Afternoon Mr.Mack - how is life for you??

Bunny
Far too busy at the moment. Probably the busiest I have been for two years. So no trading for me for some months now.

Hows yourself?

Cheesecake? I'll have some of that please and a foffee or even a coffee.
So you're a slob then stockbunny. :-)
Slippers and your hair in curlers and a fag hanging out of the side of your mouth.

s/b: with greenspan taliking u need all the caffeine available in case he utters something and the whole market collapses around u.But give him his due he made the Dow touch 10700 and the EUR/Doll and cable both rocketed up giving me a good Booster.

BTW - The drinks and nosh are on me -order what u may!!!!!!!

zarif

So on balance Zarif are you happy with the words of 'the man'
across the water?? I'll have a brandy, researching this afternoon
has left me feeling feeble!

JeffMack - It's supposed to be good when you're busy - so they
always say - only problem is it never feels that great to be up
to your eyes in work. Get some decent R&R when you can!!

Snoball - Don't need curlers, my ears are naturally curly at the ends
(see?) Slippers? Most definitely when it's chilly in the warren!!
Give me a comfy pairs of jeans and a t-shirt any day, I'll leave all
dressing up for the other girlies!!!

Hi everybody,
Just had an interesting conversation( about 3pm) with a rep from MCI technologies (Star Trader) selling an EOD software for Uk stocks.Aparrently this software takes care of everything -you dont need to know ta etc and the usual price for the software is 5800 plus vat -but they are doing a market promotion at 2800 plus Vat9plus 18/pth EoD data feed) and you have to pay the other half at end of year ( but if u have not madea profit than that is waived). Sounds too good to be true -AND i am sure it is.Any way i politely said dont ring me i will ring u back!!!
Anybody out there use them or any news about them ???

zarif
ps: it also begs the question that if this thing is next to sliced bread -then why are they spending time trying to sell in on the old dog and bone.!!!!!

Hello all, sorry I'm late. Chap at work wrote his car off, he let his wife drive it. It's true it's true, it's the way you say it that counts.

Jeffmack
I had the chance to be a cockle picker but turned it down for someone in greater need. I didn't want to appear shellfish.

zarif, be very careful of MCI technologies. Someone tipped me off about them last year and told me they traded under another name in Australia. I think it was on the ADVFN BB. Make sure you research them well! I'm dead serious mate.

Anyway anybody who recokons they have a trading system that wins consistently and hugely is being optimistic in the absolute extreme.
It can't be done. Not for 2800 anyway.

I should add that they were doing the same promotion then.
I doubt it is as good as your version of Metastock. I'll sell you some Metastock code for the Dow for 2.80, yes,2.80, which you can pay me when it gives you a winner.

Edited later:
zarif this is from 18 Aug 2003:
MCI are owned by Tomato Technologies of Australia.
Their website: http://www.tomatotechnologies.com.au/about_us.htm

The Star Trader software costs 5800 + VAT, so it must be good.
The system can turn 1500 invested to 30,000 in a year.

The special deal is that for a limited period it is being offered
for 3407.50 deposit, the balnce of 2900 to be paid when the 30,000
profit is realized. If the 30,000 is not forthcoming then the balance
of 2900 will be waived.

Another extract from the BB:

Snip from the Guardian Wednesday July 16, 2003

Is this mailshot too good to be true?

Q I have been sent a mailshot from MCI Technologies Ltd offering Star Trader software for 5,900 + VAT, half to be paid after profits of 30,000 have been made on the stock exchange. Obviously I am suspicious.
The literature says that of 10 alerts, two on average will make a 10% loss, eight on average a 15% to 25% profit. If true I need never work again!

Do you have any knowledge of the firm and its software?

JS

A I think it's safe to say that this one falls into the category of 'if it looks too good to be true, that's because it is too good to be true.'

Firstly, MCI Technologies Pty Ltd should not be confused with MCI Technologies, the French company which produces insulation and acoustic materials for the building industry, nor with McI Technologies, Inc, the US IT firm.

No, the provider of Star Trader software is a very separate entity. It was previously called Micro Corporation, or Microcorp, and has a lot of dissatisfied customers in Australia, where the software was marketed under the name Blue Chip Trader.

As I haven't personally tried out the Star Trader software, I can't say how well it works - but in a global economy where professional fund managers and share traders of many years standing and who have exhaustive resources at their command have struggled to make much profit from the stock market over the past three years, I seriously doubt whether this product can live up to its boasts.

I reckon - even given the relative instability of the financial markets - you'd get a better return on your money if you invested it.
