Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Just a wee reflection on the correction / recession / slump / disaster, call it what you may.
Its a bloody good job we are all so clever and got out in plenty of time (except me of course, who was still putting money in last Monday - cos I'm thick).
I have been reading the threads and almost every single poster claims to have sold up almost all of his equities within the last 2 weeks as they saw it coming. There are one or two honourable exceptions - Driver, take a bow, but almost to a man / woman / Big Brother contestant nobody will admit they got it wrong.
They may all be truthfull and I was just too dim to see the warnings, and no doubt a few are being truthfull, but posters who were urging others into shares, and forecasting 6000+ on the FTSE competition are now posting to say how clever they were to get out when they did (right at the top).
I'm not being at all cynical, you understand, just curious as to why MAM has such a high percentage of world beating financial commentators when compared to say, Goldman Sachs, KPMG or any of the other amateurs??

alan, you'll find the same is true when a share triples. you get all these geniuses crawling out saying how they were in right at the start !!! i've been selling up for different reasons, mainly cos i'm getting out of shares and into something else. i've only got one share left, pxs, and i'm just hanging on for a bit of a good time to get out. as usual , i will post when and why just in case anyone gives a shit. as far as seo are concerned there were plenty who predicted this and, if i am being honest, i wish i had listened a whole lot earlier. the idea is to make money, not to show who has the biggest balls.

I was out ,but by pure luck ,i took profits on DEBT because it had risen so much ,and was looking to get in on a couple of new plays (glad i didn't) ,i was holding a 50 per point spread bet on Charter and lost just over 4000 ,so over all i came out unscathed .

By the way not wishing to be smart but i predict SEO will finish the day 2p down at 8p ,with 7,397,157 shares traded ,i posted this at 10am but i think mam slotted it in here .

Genius, Jimmy!

What kind of odds would you give for SEO taking a similar slide tomorrow when all the PI's who don't have daytime computer access get home tonight, see today's carnage, and boot their holdings out the door? Never mind all the red-braces-wearing people called Sebastian who are going to do the same in order to hang on to a vestige of profit on behalf of their managed funds?

soul ,i like to make my predictions for the day after 4 30pm ,i seem to be much more accurate that way :-)

You remind me of Mark Twain's saying, "I try to avoid making predictions, especially about the future."

Whats all this ,,some sort of code ,can i join in .

Phworr!, that's one smart young lady you've got there Jimmy.

I do like my girls pretty kim .

Is Chocolat smoking too much??

Yea, I've noticed Jimmy....I'll bet the last one gives you a good ride?

Its some sort of code between chocolat and bos ,i'm trying to unravel it.

Cigarettes (Phillip Morris) Cigars, cars, hmm, don't know....I think you're gonna need the Enigma cipher machine Jimmy!

ESMU? Is that an Emu with a crooked neck? Can it be smoked in one of the rooms in Bosley's plan? I think you've cracked it Jimmy!
