Good Morning Fred.... as mentioned we had a toast for you last night. As also mentioned, you didn't miss a lot as both main speakers at seminar didn't come!
See you before too long..... Hope you managed some beer with your pie ..... pity Davenport's (& its home delivery) no longer exists....

And if you fancy a lager or two at home, have you seen what Comet stock now:
The "Carlsberg Draughtmaster" for draught lager at home - cold and freshly poured whenever you want. They can home delivery the unit and Carlsberg can home deliver the 5 litre kegs for it...

I wanted to have a little spirited young Burgundian, but my wife wouldn't let her in the house!

Morning All,
Getting back to W/Spreads see their SP has done well since they floated, up from 51p to 76p then slipped back last week or so.
As for "Carlsberg Draughtmaster" I must reprimand you Chris for such a suggestion...leading Fred astray like that tutt tutt -):
ED: Worldspreads epic is WSPR.

Did you catch that train Stan after your heroic sprint in the direction of 7b?
My carriages were awaiting me, but they were short of the jockey. At least we could wait in the warm till he materialised.
Yes, Worldspreads even gave us a piece of real toast to make us think of our absent friend. Not too bad an event overall, but agree with above remarks re the substitute speakers. Do you think this lot might be worth an each way bet?
The Wellington seemed quite an enterprising operation all round. I now have somewhere to while away the hours when New Street is getting its collective bowels in an uproar.
Survive, The Tardebigge place, I perhaps didn't make quite clear. The outfit is a producer of the stuff........................
And please, no more talk of Fizz!!!!!

well, Fred's enough knowledge to be aware that amber nectar is nourishing and good for you if only taken in small quantities such as 5 litre kegs....
SB market is fairly competative and they guy did say the 1 point spread was a 'loss leader' - therefore guess that a fair proportion of bottom line is on advisory CFD's? On my charts it's nearly reached an oversold position after recent pull back.
PS: If the Draftmaster is now in Comet, perhaps not too long before it comes to Tesco or Asda?

I have been lucky again. Hold EZJ as shares after dropping share bets.
But looking at Pru hoping for a drop back, but it is seeming more unlikely but have limit buy of 720p.
Another limit buy is SFR if it drops back to 560p, may lift this,
But one I am looing at is SHI . I bought shares too hign, but drop, I think, is overdone. if it breaks through 10 day MA with volume will consider share bet. But may hesitate until 1010-5, before holding long term. Is showing double bottom and was x-div 24/10/07
Worth a look, but DYOH
Back to work.

Fred.... Looked at three of them... my thoughts after consulting the tea leaves, crystal ball, and my charts ....
SHI - does look as if it could turn up sooner rather than later. Might add it to my watchlist.
SFR - undecided. Looks like it could head down more - so a limit buy looks good idea.
EZJ - undecided. Could go eitherway...
but bare in mind these views are from the person that put proceeds back in to PRM - so what the *$@ do I know.....
As regards Pru..... never look at insurance companies or high street banks - guess it's a psycological block..... they're all a bunch of transnational 'crooks' ...
PS: One I mentioned to Stan in the Wellington last week ( Software Radio ) had a nice positive write-up in Midas column of Mail on Sunday today (doesn't even appear to be a thread for SRT on moneyam).
And on a lighter note: Europe's first Thomas Land attraction is set to open at a theme park near Birmingham. It will feature themed rides including Cranky the Crane and The Troublesome Trucks rollercoaster.

Survivor, Thanks. Still looking and holding EZJ. Similar thoughts but will look at software Radio. Nloticed it spiked up and down and trend is down. Projected earnings interesting, but NMS atrocious. What is the spread?

spread is fairly volatile - can be anywhere between 0.5p and 3p - SP likely to be a bit unpredictable next week - it's the deadline for expiry of more than 10m warrants... big move in SP up or down probably dependent on whether the anticipated big Chinese military order actually comes thru (or not) - so in a way it's a bit of a gamble....

Another company in to digital rf stuff that is highly speculative with good potential is Nanoscience Inc. (NAN).... that's already on a moneyam discussion thread....

Stan... noted.... found it in my inbox. They've said 'postponed' so hopefully it will take place at a later date..... If one or both of the two main speakers have had to prioritise other commitments then probably better to postpone ..... unlike that other lot last week...
Perhaps we can see if a pre-Xmas 'pie & pint' meeting is possible ..... did Fred say he'd be available by then.... ?>>>
