janetbennison - 15 Oct 2007 11:18 - 715 of 1029

janetbennison - 15 Oct 2007 11:19 - 716 of 1029

hlyeo98 - 15 Oct 2007 12:53 - 718 of 1029

Cynic, I have closed at 218p but don't know weather I've done the right thing. What do you think?

cynic - 15 Oct 2007 13:04 - 719 of 1029

it can never be wrong to take a profit

cynic - 15 Oct 2007 16:45 - 720 of 1029

have shown myself to be a total arsehole and opened a short in NRK at 214. albeit with a guaranteed stop!

we shall see

hlyeo98 - 15 Oct 2007 21:37 - 721 of 1029

You are really brave, cynic. Good luck!

cynic - 16 Oct 2007 08:11 - 722 of 1029

it was a bit wasn't it! ..... anyway, i have in place guaranteed stops so any loss is limited ...... meanwhile, headlines in telegraph say the shareholders will get zilch and sp is down 15 this morning .... actually pretty surprised it is not more

hlyeo98 - 16 Oct 2007 08:25 - 723 of 1029

Yeah...it is holding quite remarkably

cynic - 16 Oct 2007 08:38 - 724 of 1029

will it be sackcloth or satin for me i wonder - lol!

hlyeo98 - 16 Oct 2007 08:42 - 725 of 1029

In fact it is recovering -5p now.

cynic - 16 Oct 2007 08:57 - 726 of 1029

but still in the money ..... anyway, the stop i have set means that any pain will be readily bearable, and i think i have prob got it right ..... or is that just wishful thinking lol??
