Started the day with all reds and two greens. At 12.35 there are 5 blues but the majority are still red. The only comfort I take at the moment is that it is a general malaise and not necessarily my poor stock picking.
Sitting tight with most but have done one or two "swops", in particular with NLR which seems very cheap compared with the general views on its potential price in the future.

I think we are still in a bull market, just. As we go through the year and into 2006 I can see the bears having it. If the ftse does not find support at 4600 I think it could go all the way to 4000. All imho.

I read somewhere that the All Shares Index needs 2408-2572 range if we are going to invest from May until September.
It is rather worrying that the forthcoming election has put investors in such a pessimistic mode.The small caps started to take a hammering after the Easter break.Some of the Footsie 100 and larger companies disapointed with their results and/or profit warnings.Many small caps trying to raise money by issuing new shares does'nt help that sector,either.
The shorters are having a field day and people like me are confused by the actions of mms and the poor advice given by brokers and shares magazines.
I expect SEO will get bashed ,although it has held up strongly during the past three days,considering the rest of our favourites!
BBRG seems to be o.k.for 2 day traders and NTLR responded furiously to the low sp today.The market seemed unhappy with Sportingbet's expected earnings nd ID Data is moving the card production to Poland and will probably issue lots of new shares...bang:should I invest now or wait for things to get worse?I,like many others will probably wait to see if Blair gets back in.

I'm doing nothing untill after the election. Unless MMG hit 500 then I'll go on holiday and get the rust spots done on the car.
Have a good one people and don't burn the burgers on the BBQ.

I know its been a long night and there must be a lot of lethargy floating around but I can't believe how green my screen is 25 shares, one blue (just) and 4 reds. Watching paint dry could be quite addictive today.
