I'm talking about the US for end of year closing
and tax losses, where the US
markets go then the UK will follow.
When we are talking finance then I'm afraid that
the UK is just one of the States of the USA.

Who is going to buy at a premium for a short
lived sentiment bounce?
Volume doesn't seem to be overly high to me,
and we don't seem to want to go above 4400.
I still think that people are waiting to sell,
not buy.

I hope I'm not coming across as a pessimist here,
I'm not trying to argue with you, just putting
my view across.:-)
I agree, it is irksome to just follow another country
like a little lapdog, but we must face facts.
Our GDP isn't in the same league as the USA.
Doesn't California on its own come somewhere near
our financial status? Don't quote me on it, but I
think that it is one of the world's biggest economies
in it's own right and as it is just one state then
where does the UK stand in relation to the USA as a whole?
We've got to remember that we're talking money, not
politics and national pride.
I agree that it is annoying, but we have to accept it
and make our financial decisions on that basis.
Melnibone.

A lot of the people out there that had been predicting a fall in the market since August, seem to have recently changed their view and become more positive. I've decided I prefer the positive! (Life is too depressing otherwise)
I agree that we are talking money, but I think the Bulls are currently making more money than the Bears, and although the bears every so often make a inroad back, I don't think overall they are not suceeding.

Stay positive, life is far more important than boring
old money.
I bet LLOY is bringing a smile to your face this morning.:-))

for every 1 point on the S@P, then the FTSE is now
on par with the S@P future which is around 1086.
Where we go now will depend on whether the US takes
the considerable gap open as profits, or pushes on
in a Saddam euphoria, ignoring the fact that the economics,
(low interest rates, falling dollar, increasing negative
balance of payments), haven't actually changed.
Edit: Doh! just had to edit this post. I was thinking of
the 10 point rise on the S@P and put 10 points rise for the
FTSE for 1 point rise on the S@P.
Should of course be 4 points rise on the FTSE for 1 on the S@P.
Teach me to wake up and engage brain before posting.
Melnibone.

It's just took me 25 minutes to get back and edit an earlier
post where I put the wrong figure in, (4 points rise on the
FTSE for every one on the S@P instead of the 10 points that
I put).

I'd redress the balance and find a positive spin for
a change.
The S@P has been bumping up against the 1074 technical
resistance level.
This Saddam bounce has took it 10 points above that, so
with some luck on the Bulls side, this level may now
act as support when it drops back to test it.
This will limit the FTSE in how far it drops if the above
scenario plays out. Haven't got a crystal ball so I'll
wait and see the outcome with you all.
Time to get some stuff done, see you all when the US opens.
All to play for, depends what the US does, as usual.
Melnibone.
