BB - volatile is i think the most likely, and remain that way for a little while ..... i go down to b-on-a quite regularly and actually need to get my act together to take a bicycle frame down to bristol for repairs - so you could s=twist my arm if you were desperate


PTH - would like to think so, and have just topped up modestly, but 3300 needs a decisive break before next upward surge

i see the gold price has been back in the 1100's and rio ticked up above 33 are we going to see 34's ????

how the f* do you expect me to know????
i'll be more interested at this juncture to see if it can hold above 3300

Cynic....chill, only asking the sodding question.....take another vallium. lol

Better do another dictionary dance cyners, might see 34+ today if we're lucky..
