LOL Hilary

Harlosh - 21 Sep 2006 09:17 - 5998 of 11056

I'm a bit cautious about a long. Cable looking quite overbought now so unless the 11am news pushes it higher I think we may see an unwinding of the OB indicators.

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 09:54 - 5999 of 11056

Overboughtness can unwind itself through consolidation, Harlosh, although it doesn't look particularly overbought to me.
I'm accidentally long since last Friday - forgot I'd left an order in at 1.8765 the day before. In essence, cable's just back up to where it was a week ago, and I'm hopeful that it'll break through this time.
Well, the US data this afternoon should sort it out one way or the other.

Harlosh - 21 Sep 2006 10:29 - 6000 of 11056

Indeed Choccie. I'm just looking/hoping for a better entry.

bakko - 21 Sep 2006 10:40 - 6001 of 11056

Chocs....I like your accidental trading style. Only wish we can all do that!

MightyMicro - 21 Sep 2006 10:51 - 6002 of 11056

Sshhhh!. Quiet please, everybody. Hil is a bear with a sore head this morning.

hilary - 21 Sep 2006 11:11 - 6003 of 11056

No. She's a bull with a sore head.

I feel decidely unwell having just made Salade Marco Polo for lunch. It's the smell of the crab sticks. Probably wasn't a very wise move.

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 11:12 - 6004 of 11056

Think you'll find she's a dizzy bull this morning.

Not to be emulated, BAk - I didn't mean to leave the order in :S
But yesterday was a good day to add :)

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 11:13 - 6005 of 11056

Oops Hils snap :o)

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 11:27 - 6006 of 11056

Looking for a break through the 70/80 level for a possible push up to 1.9050.
Well that's the plan :)

hilary - 21 Sep 2006 12:47 - 6007 of 11056

Looks like it could be turning down so I'm out.

I could do with another nap. I'd lay out in the garden for the afternoon, but the sun's a bit low.

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 12:59 - 6008 of 11056

I'd get blown away if I tried that.
Getting a smidge blustery.

Time for some beans on toast then :)

hilary - 21 Sep 2006 13:32 - 6009 of 11056

Beanz meanz fartz, Choccy. It would be more than a smidge blustery.

Bit of premature ejection there in offloading my long. And I missed a chance to get back in again.

edit. Managed to get some.

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 13:42 - 6010 of 11056

Oh I know Hils, but I have to get even with the boys here sometimes ;)

Roll on Philly Fed then :)
Oops and those pesky indicators

bakko - 21 Sep 2006 13:43 - 6011 of 11056

Not got a single pip today. Sat on the sidelines and watched it head north.

Soooo depressing :-((

Seymour Clearly - 21 Sep 2006 13:47 - 6012 of 11056

Same here Bakko. Next week Rodney, next week.....

US weekly jobless claims up 7,000 to 318,000
AFX


WASHINGTON (AFX) - The number of people filing new claims for unemployment insurance in the latest week rose more than expected to its highest level in four weeks, the Labor Department said Thursday.

First time claims rose 7,000 to 318,000 in the week ended September 16, the department said. Economists had expected about 310,000 new claims.

The four-week average of first time claims remained unchanged at 315,000.

Economists prefer the four-week average because it smoothes out fluctuations in the weekly data.

The number of people continuing to claim unemployment insurance fell 29,000 to 2.46 mln in the week ending September 9. That's the lowest level since July 22.

The four-week average of continuing claims fell 5,500 to 2.48 mln, the lowest level since August 12.

NBG. Stopped flat.

chocolat - 21 Sep 2006 14:02 - 6015 of 11056

Still with it - don't mind letting go of a few.
Stops just below 70.

Time for work :S

Choccie: I told you, wait 5 years . . .
