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

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.

Ed: This was to buy.

55,
I offered approx 12000 for sale with Barclays and was accepted at 296 a few moments ago. (Through Barclays)

According to SHarescope which is normally accurate NMS 75000.

I think there is still a lot further to run and will await results 6/12/07, even though this market is a B..

5501,

Just read Stan's post and checked back. I bought 11666 shares on the 3/8/07 in one deal thro' Barclays. No problems at the time.

Also just offered them and quoted 296 without problems!

Suggests a shortage coming up to results on the 6/!2/07.

Possible Fred.

Ed: Chris thanks for link, but due to my computers current inability to show such files I cannot see it.

55/Fred.

Skinny on the Traders thread has just said that it's Double Witching day today so my test may have been distorted.
