Good stuff guys. Comments later. Doing some fairly thorough research today - well, as thorough as I get! lol

As usual I scrolled first to the Deddington News Letter. Looks like Martini has bought the pub and should be able to stock the shelves after a quick raid on the Co-op. ;-)) And the tips section should be very useful once the PO is converted.

Afternoon

Current positions for me as follows:
Long AQP, BRW, FIB, MRS, PLR, ROK, VAN
Short MGCR, WHT

Got a feeling I acquired an early trigger finger on a couple of them (AQP, BRW, VAN and MGCR) so any adverse move and they're gone.

Been running through a few daily charts trying to find a few suspects to enter and came up with the following:
Longs - ABG, BSLA, CFN, CNR, HOF, HTG, HTL, LFS, LWB, MER, MTC, SBT, TOPS, UKC, WNER, WHM
Shorts - ALU, BBC, BHY, BRJK, CAY(?), CTO, COX, DEI, EIN, ESY, HWY, ITU, JPF, JII, JMF, LIO, MRX, NSR, PHI, PLM, PRV, RSG, SUS, SDU, UTF, VER

Some are much better prospects than others and that is a first pass, but there's one or two to shoot at. Many of the shorts are investment trusts and haven't really traded those much so we'll see. I've also got to run them by a couple of other charts and check for news, which may well cut them down further. Finally, once I look into the spreads and liquidity, some may well prove not worth the punt as risk may be higher than I want.

Have a good week punteros!

Al

Martin, thanks as usual for the hard work, also MG for this weeks thoughts

Big Al, CSR looks interesting and IMHO has a good chart. I am long....

Mike

capt - very nice chart. I usually wait for a pullback, but it doesn't seem to do that!

Evening all. Lots of interesting reading here - thanks. Let's hope its a good week!

ESI, now that was a while ago..
I remember those big buttons...

morning campers.

Morning peeps.

No new positions, but have been watching JRVS. The market is a powerful thing. ;-))

Morning all.

Thought it would be quiet today with US holiday. Seems it is also an Edinburgh holiday! Consolidated portfolio last week as it was becoming too unwieldy but nice to see WMS and IDOX up today. Now looking for some good short term positions.

morning all.
MG special thanks to you for stepping in the breech and give your kind thoughts with a few home truths.

I went to Tom Hougaards seminare at Oulton Hall, Leeds on Saturday and must say thorouhly enjoyed the full day with him.I would recommend it to anyone either novice or advanced traders as he caters for all.

Afternoon.

Bit quiet on here. Have neglected this thread today as it's been a bit hectic round my way. Also been visiting with ADVFN FBB BPRG thread. Absolute hoot! As is normal in such situations, there is so much ostrich-like comments. I'd quite forgotten what this type of thread was like. However, I do feel very sorry for some who have been dragged in by promises of this, that and the next thing when plainly the price movement and overall sentiment is so negative. It's day may come again, but the company as a whole has that feel of '99/'00 all over again.

Anyway, lobbed ROK trading position for +5. Not sure if that was wise or not - only time will tell, but it's not a stock I trust when it begins to move the opposite way to my trade. Quick and far is the norm!! ;-))

Hope you're all having a goo 'un, if a bit slow.

Afternoon Big Al ( and the lurkers). The BBs are very quiet today and for me as the Ym is closed today am calling it a holiday myself by not trading and reading through all the material that Tom H gave at the Seminar.
have a fun day as its nice and sunny today -the skirts get shorter and shorter ....... ( wow what was i thinking about!!!!!)

Zariff, Reading your remarks about Tom Hougaards seminare in Leeds, do you know if he has anymore seminares coming up as I to wouild like to go along. Does he have a web site I could log on to. Would be grateful for your help. Regards. Paul

Paul - would definitely recommend seeing/listening to Tom H. I'm not an index trader, but he's brilliant entertainment if nothing else.

Hello all.

Closed HNR this morning, may buy in again later once the excitement dies down.

Closed TTH this afternoon, made what I would have got in divi plus profit, so may buy in again later.

Holding SEY much longer yet.

Also BARC, PLR, fancy keeping hold of PLR for long term.

Watching JKX to see how far that will go down with a view to climbing back on board the bus.

Also watching WLW and hoping it will drift after all this bad news with Sainsbury and Morrisons. If the MKS bid fails, I have no idea which way WLW will go as it is always seen as a bid target. Mr Green will still have loads of money to spend.

BFP bought on last Fridays low, has some work to do there.

Ol'Green wont want Woolies - I wouldn't have thought anyway or MTN
unofortunately as he's come from discount retailing and headed slowly
but surely more up-market - it would be great but just can't see it...

SB

Fair point

Lobbed ROK +5, VAN -7 and MGCR +2.5 today. Nice and blue overall, especially with WHT ticking down. Love it when that happens - nice slow burner.

sw - will also look for a JKX re-entry at some point.

Oh, and FIB made up a wee bit too! ;-)

Big Al

Looking forward to it.

Price of Brent is up and ascending again so I expect these to go up tomorrow.

Seems to be the key, and the same goes for PLR.

Intersting stuff this Oil & Gas.

Risky but big profits.
