Graeme.

bought in on this 26374 @ 7.5p do u think this was a mistake?. it was going up steadily this morning untill i bought in why has it stalled? does anyone think i should bail out and take a loss or stay in and see what happens?

The SETS order book for sells is a lot stronger than the buys! But that doesn't guarentee anything.

little woman,

Amberley is a seaq stock not sets.

What's the difference between sets and seaq, and which shares trade on shich market?

angi,

I'm not trying to be awkward, but I don't generally do "whys".

This is cribbed from the LSE website:

SEAQ


SEAQ is the London Stock Exchange's service for mid-cap Official List securities and the most liquid AIM securities. The service is based on two-way continuous Market Maker quotes.

The Market Makers quotes on this service are maintained by competing investment banks whose prices are displayed on more than 100,000 terminals around the world. These prices enable investors wanting to trade these securities to easily find a buyer or a seller at a fair and transparent price. For the FTSE 250 securities on SEAQ there is an additional electronic execution facility allowing you to seek execution at market makers mid-prices, SEAQ Crosses. These crosses run at 09:30, 11:00, 15:00 and 16:45.

SETS


SETS is the London Stock Exchange's blue chip market where all UK FTSE Eurotop 300 equities are traded. The market is based on an electronic order book that executed more than 1.69 million trades in the month of May 2002.

Almost 200 securities are traded on SETS covering the FTSE 100 index, the most liquid FTSE 250 securities, equities that have a LIFFE traded equity option and some Irish stocks traded in euro. The order-driven trading service gives all market participants the necessary flexibility and transparency to ensure every buy or sell order gets the optimal level of exposure to ensure a cost efficient execution. Order book trades in all UK securities is covered by a central counterparty operated by the London Clearing House.


If you've got any other questions, it maybe an idea to post on croc's q+a thread on this board. Hope the above helps.

Thanks for correcting me Hilary - I keep forgeting they are different when I look at the prices on offer!
