Any views on where this stock might be headed?
Its already down by 250 from its high of just a few weeks back and if i knew anything about charts,WHICH I DON,T,maybe it is time to cash a few in

maybe the fates are going to drag me screaming and shouting?
or should i go quietly?
regards jkd

The thing worth bearing in mind ,is that Autonomy expects to be a big benefactor of the banking fiasco!
A good job somebody is !

One step from governments using their software to read our e-mails

re my above post.
my stop loss is in place, so i shall go quietly.
the loss will reduce my trading cash balance so if it's hit i shall have to make up the deficit by taking a profit on one of my other trades.
unfortunate but winning trades have to pay for the losers.
and yes i do believe in letting my profits run and cutting my losers.
i also believe in not allowing my cash balance in my account to reduce.
my current winners , as yet unbanked , may offset my banked loss as of today, but what of tomorrow?
what if? all those paper profits paying for real losses don't come home to roost?
no thank you, loss today = take profit today to pay for it.
credit and promises of what will or might be are of no value to me.
a loss however great or small has to be paid for. no credit for me thank you.

you seem to be doing ok here.
glad i only did an interest bet.
i'm still interested. at this moment in time it seems everything is so bullish
and price just has to keep going up.
i'm still short with a calculated stop loss.
could be wrong .i often am, looks like i'm gonna be.
maybe a day or 2 early.
we'll see.

Chart removed as its showing total b*ll*cks.

Completion of share placing.

I think that Autonomy may prove to be the best FTSE 100 performer over the year.

Goldman Sachs has welcomed Autonomy's acquisition of US content management software firm, Interwoven, saying its gives Autonomy significant cross selling opportunities.

"Autonomy has a good track record of acquiring and integrating companies with niche technologies and leveraging the combined customer base to generate incremental growth," Goldman Sachs (GS) said.

Stockbroker Teathers is also supportive of the move, saying it shows the search software firm's intent to be the world leader in the content management market.

"Quite aside from the financial benefits of the acquisition the acquisition of Interwoven takes Autonomy into the market for content management proper and is a logical place to take the IDOL platform and one where many players already OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturers] Autonomy's software."

chessplayer I think you maybe right broke to 1200 today SP 1208 Wish I had bought more if it is doing this well now, think how high it may go when we are out of this bad time.
