US Stocks recovered from a steep early slide to close barely unchanged helped by news that a senior al Qaeda official, possibly the organization's second in command, had been surrounded by Pakistani troops. AGA stove maker & foodservice Group said annual profit for the year rose 1.1 percent to 27.9 million pounds it had made a sound start to 2004 despite posting near flat profits.Euronext stock exchange operator posted higher 2003 profits up 27.4 percent to 211.8 million euros, boosted by cost cuts and a capital gain from selling part of its stake in the Clearnet clearing house. Euronext also said it would start a share buyback programme to repurchase up to 2.5 percent of its shares. |

Morning all,
Still just trading support and resistance. Took a couple of
Blue chip longs near the low close yesterday and took profit
on one this morning. Will keep the other one running to cover
any break to the upside and play the Index biased to short positions,
if they present themselves, to cover it.
Nothing to add to TP and Croc's thoughts.
Melnibone.

After a talk with KeithB (only found in the Traders Room) at the meeting we held in Hook, I started using my US Trading account again. I had stopped because I didn't understand the terminology, but explained a lot of it to me and as the exchange is so poor I may as well trade instead of letting it just sit there!
Been extremely pleased, especially with the latest! In error I bought MSF instead of MSFT. MSF is doing a lot better than MSFT!

I've been looking at my different portfolios (having them with different brokers really makes it easy!)
The long term, div yield portfolios are all showing healthy profits, whereas the short term high risk (div not important) portfolios are struggling.

That was annoying, thought it would be safer to log off
for a while.
I was getting port scan, after port scan, after port scan,
as someone was trying to break through my firewall gradually
moving through all the ports in the 33000 range.
You're a computer buff, Croc, what's the best course of
action when you get this?
Log off for safety as I did, or let your firewall cope with it?
Melnibone.

Thats awful Melnibone - how do you know its happening?

Nothing much seems to be happening. Traders maybe waiting
for the option expiry to be got out of the way?
GSK down again on an up day. Any takers yet?
I'll wait until the trend turns and miss any initial gain.
There's no telling where this is going to bottom.
Nil/low growth, possible Billions in tax bills, generic competition,
US trying to lower the cost of health care, investors are running scared.
May get this even cheaper than what we think.

I run Sygate Firewall, little woman.
It always blocks and brings up audio and visual warnings
when someone is trying to access your computer.
Nobody should ever, ever, ever, go online without a firewall.

Melinbone - Logging off will, in many cases, get you a new IP address when you log back on and the hacker will have effectivly lost you. However, if you're running a broadband router you will still have the same ip address when you switch your pc back on - disconnect the router for a time in this case. I find XP and a router pretty good as a firewall on a normal PC.

I have a firewall (I had to disable it & then reable it when I installed broadband) but beyond that know absolutely nothing about it or how it works!
I have 2 computers, one for the internet, and one that never goes anywhere near the internet! (Since seperating the functions, I have never "touch wood" had any problems, which is more than I can say what it's was like before.)

Thanks for that, brianboru.
I run Sygate Firewall, AVG anti-virus, Spybot Search and Destroy
for trojans, and Adaware for cookies etc...
I check for updates and run them every day.
Every day my system picks up tracking cookies that Spybot and Adaware
gets rid of for me and Sygate, so far, touch wood, has kept the hackers
out.
First thing I do before logging in to a trading or banking site is
check and clear my system for any tracking or key-logging software.
It's become an integral part of my browsing habits.

Melnibone,
I also run Spybot, Adware and AVG and agree with your comments that good housekeeping seems to work.

It's still dropping though. Careful.
At least nobody who reads this thread should have been long GSK
the last couple of months. At the very least we should have sown
the seeds of doubt.

I bought and sold GSK last year will a lot of success, but this year has not been so good. I must admit, if it hit 1000 again I would consider buying to add to the long term portfolio.

Just watched Tom H. on the Bloomberg TA spot.
He's got the Bear fur and claws on again.
Presents quite a good historical arguement for another dip
before an election year rise.
