Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

Thanks Fred. Date noted.
Not a bad month (so far). Still not fully recouped, or doesn't feel as though I have fully recouped, the loss from August's clanger.
Surprised to see FTSE up above 5400, although 250 looks to be lagging. I believe today's rise is something of a relief that Rita wasn't as bad as first feared. I found a site last week that was monitoring its progress. Ok in the UK maybe, but not amusing if a 175mph storm was heading for oneself.....
Flogged my Wyevales last week for a profit, after a sharp setback and reversal the previous week. Blowed if it hasn't jumped 15p this moning. That's the markets for you.
I'm empathising strongly with Stan going into cash. I'm over 50% cash at the moment.
Did you see Panorama last night? I didn't but I've read the write up. UK plc lacking any underlying economic strength.
See you and anyone else interested tomorrow afternoon.

Another good evening with a range of topics and plenty of humour, maybe not allways "politically correct" but none the worse for that! And a new face to welcome, too. The more the merrier.......
Thanks for the lift Fred, Stan and I were able to set off in our respective directions "ontime".
As ever, a few ideas to mull over and check out later on today.
Goodnight each!

Stan, Have you notice BRW up 5.6%, and still within its channel.
Chesnara 171.75. going well within channel. I like mistakes of not selling turn out well.
I hope I don't make to many more.

Morning, Stan.
Also FTSE 100 still on the magical up.....
I loaded Digitallook late last night. See what you meant about the info asked for, but it's not that unusual these days, I fear. Only snag is that my PC hasn't enough spare drive space for their Java, so no streaming prices. I'll sort that in due course, then it will be nice to have that third string to the bow.
MoneyAM time is better today, maybe they heard us talking about them last night!

I have only small C:drives on my 2 computers and found it frustrating, but purchase and external drive cheaply. Solved a lot of problems. The only problem is the OS you are using may not recognise a large drive. Another way is put another internal drive, you can pick up 10 and 20 Gigs for peanuts and marvellous method of backing up.

I have a stack of spare hard drives. It's the time honoured "round tuit" scenario, I fear. Also yet to install the XP I bought last year. Bugs in present system will soon force my hand...........
Dow futures still up, oil crude in US at 65$, so I expect the afternoon to hold firm over here.
While you are on, Fred, I'm looking at auction sites. I may have misheard, but did you refer to "Miens", or was that a reference to Birmingham Car Auctions who are in the Moseley Road?
Cheers.

British Car Auctions Meesham That is what they called. A far bigger show than the Birmingham Moseley one. There is another Auction at Castle Bromich just off the Chester Road.

An idea sprang into my head. (It was empty at the time.)
For the next meeting, would it be reasonable for each of the attendees(?) to bring a little information etc. about one or two shares they are holding or thinking of holding (Long or short term) Ie. fundamentals, NMS rate of growth etc. Preferably on bits of paper. Writing it down clarifies the mind.
