Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

Shares in Birmingham pub group Mitchells & Butlers continued to climb yesterday after it emerged late on Tuesday that Elpida had taken a 3.36 per cent worth about 85 million.

Sainsbury's demonstates what can happen when bid hopes are dashed.

Wonder if the good Doctor has taken a break recently from his tea management to steal a glance at MCRO. Or maybe he oughn't - might get a trifle over excited.

55, Still hold MCRO, Very Happy

Also hold BPRG or now known as MELDEX MDX even happier.

Was considering dumping both as they were doing nothing on the surface.

Sold Autonomy at 965.5 which of course went up another 10% next day, but initially bought at 490p. Price has dropped back since 10% and noticed today director sell of approx 1million STG.

I did E-mail you earlier. What are you up to?

Doing a Brum run today.
Afternoon in the canal area off Broad street.
Early evening out to the Hawthorns for tonights WBA v SW match
Then back to Ladypool Road and Imrans for some serious Balti and Tikka.
Heaven

Well, behave yourself. I didn't think they had released you from France yet!8-)

Seminar on Spread Betting and CFD Trading in Birmingham (venue yet to be confirmed) on Thursday 22nd November. 6pm-8.30pm.

If interested can I propose we meet in the Wellington at 5pm for refreshments. This is assuming that the venue will be in the center of Birmingham.

Stan, tempting. Who is the sponsor of this one, please?

CMC, through digitalook 55.

Stan.... I registerred and received auto-responce. No details of venue received yet ..... lets hope they've actually got one reserved ..... otherwise it'll be on concourse at New Street....

Fingers crossed that it doesn't turn out to be another W/Spreads debacle -):

Well, Worldspreads had the venue but not the presenters. Perhaps this lot have the presenters but not the venue.... Shall we start a 'spreadbet' on where the venue will be...?

"Well, Worldspreads had the venue but not the presenters. Perhaps this lot have the presenters but not the venue"...You took the words right out of my mouth.

You boys are confused without me to look after you.

Drove the car for the first time today since the chop.

Look forward to seeing you before XMAS if I can afford the petrol.


If you are in the market look out for sharks!!

8-)

We are indeed, good to here your out the house and on the mend.

Market beginning to find it's truer level as time go's on I'm pleased to see, Dow down about -90 not long ago so footsie should follow tomorrow.

Sounds like you are shorting it Stan!

Elsewhere you said (if I recollect correctly) that your are now dealing through Barclays. If you get a moment, could you do a "dummy" buy /sell for MCRO and see what max size you can get? Selftrade has now shrunk right down over the months to little more than a few pen'orth a time. Not good for a FTSE250 stock.

Shorting me? not likely, no I just want some of the froth knocked off of this market.

Happy to get a dummy quote tomorrow 55 will probably do it in the morning sometime, will post details when completed.

Ta. Be interesting to see how the two "brokers" compare...........

I see Mervyn is on your side, too!

Morning All...

Fred ... Nice to hear your back to the dodgems....

The Wellington gets a video mention here:

55,

Test for MCRO, I asked for quotes in s rather then No. of shares.

10000- rejected
5000- rejected
4000-rejected
3000-rejected
2000-rejected
1000- accepted at 299.75 (that price looks like a slight premium to other deals done at
the same time) ie 10.17am.

Hope that is of some help 55.
