Annual UK house price growth slowed very slightly in the three months to January as more people put their properties on the market Vodafone is now favourite to win the bidding battle for AT&T. It may raise its offer to as much as $39.4 billion (21 billion pounds), while Cingular Wireless is now thought not to raise its offer. Amersham medical firm currently being taken over by General Electric said a weaker dollar meant its profits fell last year 2% to 294 million pounds, but its drug discovery unit moved into the black ahead of schedule. Reuters returned back into profit which were above market expectations despite a 10% fall in revenues. Profit of 190 million compared with market forecasts of around 110-150 million pounds. The company declared a full-year dividend of 10 pence per share. Good figures! Uniq food group said it was in discussions to sell its UK poultry business, after the loss of key Burger King work and the outbreak of Avian flu around the world has led to a loss of about 3 million pounds in the current financial year Bradford & Bingley mortgage bank reported annual profit of 263 million pound beating expectations of 261 million pounds after its estate agency business recovered in the second half. |

That VOD effect has certainly skewed everything.
Market always has a surprise in store, hasn't it?
Time to get out the 'Cyber virtual rubber' and redraw some lines
and levels with the 'Cyber virtual pencil', I think. ;-)

Looking at my chart I can't see a gap up like the one this morning.
Does one wait for it to drop back or jump in now with both feet?

market still doing ridiculously well, the stock market
is still putting the knife in at HBOS? They report next week, should
do well...only recent thing reported has been this rumour about them
buying an Australian bank - it is that the mkt doesn't like?
Any ideas...

Lost my bearings with this VOD effect so I took my SHEL
profit and got on with a task, just finished and logged back
in to find SHEL has now gone negative. Lol!
My 12Yr old washing machine finally blew up last night. So I've
ordered one on line from Comet which they're delivering tomorrow.
So I've just spent a happy morning disconnecting the old one
ready for them to take it away at the same time.
Found a very annoyed huge spider when I pulled it away from the wall.
He's not a happy bunny now his home is disappearing. :-)
Haven't a clue where the markets are going now, so I'll stay flat
until Wall Street decides what it's going to do.
My worry about GSK dropping to 1000p if it broke 1150 support
doesn't look quite so outlandish this morning, does it?
Careful if you fancy these as a longer term long. The chance of
1000p just got a whole lot nearer.
Melnibone.

LLOY (to me more heavily a clearing bank) but was very tempted
to get into barclays at one time, your thoughts I feel are quite
right, but at this stage holding 3 in the sector would be too much.

The more GSK goes, the more i am starting to believe your 1000p target. I am now only trading these very short term (less than a day usually) though still intend to buy some for the long term though not until the price appears to have settled a bit. Thanks for your earlier postings regarding this because they were the trigger for me to keep a much shorter term view on them and actually made me money rather than me sitting on what would now be quite a large paper loss.

sharing views and giving alternative opinions.
I've had to rethink a lot my own preconceived notions after
reading other posters take on matters.
Always good to listen to other viewpoints, but your actions
should always be based on your own final thoughts, not
someone elses.
Glad you made some money. :-)

Eustoxx50 stalled at 2900.
Dax stalled at 4100.
Cac just broke 3700.
If DOW doesn't break above 10700, then there's a good
chance of some Eurozone profit taking prior to the close.

I'm waiting and watching to wee what happens in the next day or two.

I agree completely - I always take full responsibility for any investment I make but if often takes someone else to state a contrary view with good reasoning to stop me being pig-headed - a dangerous mindset in this game (but a trait i've always had). Out of curiosity do you ever trade Bunzl? any views would be appreciated - they release results next week and i am looking to go short.
Melnibone - 17 Feb 2004 18:23 - 24 of 26
I've never looked at BNZL before. Don't know anything
about them.
A quick look at the chart would appear to show it still
in an uptrend. So if you are going to go short then I
would wait for it to start making lower lows and lower
highs, otherwise you may find yourself shorting it on
the dips which has burnt a fair few Bears this year who
have been trying to guess the turns.
Maybe Croc's 1-2-3 system would give a direction?
Melnibone.
