How long for though?
Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence, does it.

You need to keep an iron discipline to avoid over-trading
and getting caught up in the moment with unplanned trades.
I'm afraid I do succumb now and then though. You can only
look at a plate of cream cakes for so long.:-)

I get the impression that it would dearly love to take
profits at the top of the trend channel, but is frightened
of being left behind if the US breaks to the upside towards
DOW 10,000.
I suppose I shouldn't think in these terms. Should 'talk the
talk' and waffle pompously about consolidation like all
these talking heads on TV. ;-)

is the bottom of the trend channel and round figure
support.
Couldn't resist and took some.
These cream cakes will be the death of me. ;-)

It is an example of another company with terrible forward looking prospects
putting a nice P.R.front on their results and future aj

MKS below support.
If they don't manage to keep it closed below 269p
for a few days they will have to re-think their
targets.
One to watch for a Bear squeeze higher if they fail I think.

Will check back in either really late tonight or market open to see whats happening
Melnibone - 02 Dec 2003 15:58 - 22 of 25
Depends how much the US wants to take back today for
where the FTSE closes and opens up tomorrow.
I'm hoping this(4360), is the bottom for today.

Could have took a scalp on LGEN when it went
into profit, but I've held it hoping for some
more upside either tomorrow or Thursday.
It better had do, seeing as its now dropped 0.25p. :-(
Could have took the scalp and bought it back again.
Never mind, can't win them all.
Melnibone.

Volume is also massive today. However, no major levels have yet been broken on this downleg. 500 physcological support held, with the 20/50 day Ma's just below at 497/498 respectively. If they go, then 480 is my next target.
