after the event one always wonders either why one took precipitate action or why one didn't when the warning bells first sounded .... lol!!

Mediwatch MDW on the move north. Lots of news to come.

US pre-trading stats are now out, and seem to be moderately well received without setting the world on fire ..... keep your fingers crossed that this presages another up day for DOW and thus for more recovery on FTSE .... and then just hope it is not a 48 hour wonder.

       LUNCH TIME FUN

Two stocks having a good recovery from the lows earlier on the day

APP 33.25 -34p +1.25p
Could be ready for a proper bounce now



GPX 150 / 156p -8p
Though it has bounce back from support 138 /140p this morning, the indicators are not yet ready for a bounce, so most likely will be back to support

        JOKE OF THE DAY

A guy goes to the doctor and the doctor says,
"I'm going to need a urine sample, a semen sample,
a blood sample and a stool sample."
The guy says, "Listen Doc, I'm in a hurry.
Can I just leave my shorts?"



2 irish men find a mirror in the road.
1st one looks in it and says "
I know the face but I cant put a name to it"
2nd one looks in it and says "
its me you fuckin idiot!

LOL!
