Morning all,
Just seems to be dithering around the PP.
Looking for scalps again, no position trades until
I see where the new year is heading. In my opinion,
these Christmas week moves are not really indicative
of market direction and sentiment and nothing of much
importance should be read into them.
Not sure if I'll be doing my usual long MKS scalp if
it hits 268/269p again. After those weekend press reports
of its declining sales it would take a leap of faith.
Melnibone.

Good afternoon people!
Amid the seriously working which appears to still be carrying
on in here, I would like to remind you Christmas cake, mince
pies and other seasonal fayre is available in the tea rooms.
Thank you and good luck today to all!!!

So MKS are looking for a chief on the clothing side...
Oh please appoint the lady from Debenhams! The whole idea
of MKS clothing being headed by someone from New Look is
hardly a great move IMHO - Bit like appointing someone
from WLW to head Thorntons!
Lastly....Go HBOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky you went quietly stockbunny or you would
have woken us all up. :-)
A 15 point trading range since 0900 has had a distinctly
soporific effect.
We are also rather underwhelmed by the new highs
set in Chistmas week on low volume.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm getting tempted to put a short on here, but that
would mean calling a turn and fighting the tide.
If the FTSE can be pushed on high volatility/low volume
through circa 4450, then automated buys from Bulls and
short covers by Bears could spike this market above
4500.
Also, I don't like shorting the FTSE when the afternoon
trend after 1530 is up.
Certainly not opening longs, so leaving this alone.
TP may get his 4445 yet.
Melnibone.

I'm glad I resisted the urge to fight the trend and
open the FTSE short I was talking about.
FTSE currently showing 4437/4441 on CMC.
Dow looks like it's going to try for 10,500 and S@P
for 1100.
Depends on what the data is like at 1330hrs and the
December consumer confidence at 1450hrs.
Looks like another gap open higher tomorrow, Bears must
be getting concerned with the FTSE within spitting distance
of a breakout higher.
Could see some Bear closing which will fuel it higher.
Melnibone.

Hey guys - I like this site.
Some of the boring peeps on ADVFN will hopefully stay there !!
Dont know yet if this will totally replace ADVFN for me...
So many features still to be tried & tested.

Hi little woman !
I didn't mean they were actually unfriendly at ADVFN...
rather , the amount of irrelevancy and illiteracy has sadly grown...
and I STILL can't access ADVFN threads, something wrong there.

Well, ADVFN came right for me a wee while ago !!
Funny how it affected me very badly, yet others have been posting there.
Couldnt stop feeling that ADVFN were punishing me for visiting here ;o)
