Thanks Skinny.

no obvious reason but still appreciated even if i currently hold only in my sipp

Short 567.5, nice stop here.

gosh, the man sold at the top once again
he wasn't christened Miracle Man for nothing was he

stop to break even

Tripped out this morning at 570p for a nice profit.

Moved my stop (spread bet) to 565p

Has made a higher high since Jan, tempting to go short but with ex-divi date just round the corner 5th Sept may be worth hanging on a little while longer. But wtfdik shit trader eh tomasz :0)

i now only have these in my SIPP, but that's not too great a hardship

DOM Domino Pizza, is it breaking out on the 5th attempt ????? wait for confirmation.

DOM Domino Pizza

BREAKOUT AT LAST. check the volume looks positive. Just gone long.
