Oh please buy mine -):

Fred, I'm not a lover of the banks and RDW have risen sharply in recent days, I also believe the market is due a correction. That's after I win this months competition of course ha! ha!

I am hesitant about buying anything, but at the moment I have heavy holdings of TW, BARC (at a loss),AHT,RDW, EZJ, TCG (slight loss, stupid), GKN,BKG, VOD(stupidity) OML(with hope and guess work), Small holding of Lloyds (dumped and bougth? lucky) and and smaller holdings of some I wish I didn't.

Three dogs which interest me and thought/think will do well and are recovering Accys Techologies and EPO and CRX. (Just looked in profit on epo and CRX. expect Accys to reward my grandchildren.

Perhaps the above are worth a look. Some are close to upper tramlines and if there is a pull back, may be worth buying afterwards as long as Putin doesn't put his boot in.

No indications of previous holding percentages, must be a new holding?

Deutsche Bank cuts Centrica to 'sell' from 'hold', target cut from 280p to 225p.

Harry, I've put that in the header just to see how good the Deutsch Bank analysts are

Lets hope they are totally cr*p at predicting the future then! Unfortunately chart agrees at mo.

Laidlow paid 3.4 million for his last year at Centrica!

That should compensate him for his reduced dividend income.

Into the gap once more!

This needs a serious kick up the back side to attempt the gap!!

Too big a gap to fill in one go skinny...don't forget this is Centrica and Centrica rarely does big moves in the upside direction :-(
