Hi Fundamentalist,
AZN is nice stock to trade. The price over 26 a share often gives a spread
circa 0.04%.
The current gyrations in the price are fairly volatile. There seems to
be some sort of Bull/Bear battle going on at the moment. Would not
want to get caught the wrong way if one of them wins.:-)
I prefer GSK.

FTSE seems to be moving sideways.
D4F spreads are getting worse again. Can't make up my mind to either stop trading CFD's or move my account.

Sorry PB - but you're going to spell things out for me - I'm involved in so many "industries" all have their own terminology so I don't even try and understand (let alone remember) shortened versions anymore.

Afternoon all,
Had a bit of trouble getting back in to the site again.
Seems OK now though.
S@P keeps failing to crack 1143/1144 area.
If we get weakness and a follow through from Friday
then it may even test 1131 again.
Not a time to be buying FTSE stocks until S@P shows
which direction it wants to go IMHO.
Either a retrace to 1131 or break above 1144 for another crack at
at 1150.
Melnibone.

GSK is annoying me today.
I was hoping for a nice dip down so that I could buy
the rest of what I want. They seem to be rising on a down
day which means the ones I've got may go into profit
too early whilst I'm underweight.
Perhaps I should have bought again at 1180 where Testex
was looking instead of being greedy and watching for 1150.
Never mind, the die is cast so I'll stick to the plan.

S@P testing 1144 and Dow testing 10600 again.
If the S@P cracks it then the DOW should move
on up and take the FTSE with it.
May get some direction soon.

Although as a rule I don't use charts, I do use them when I'm trading CFD's to compare the previous 60 min to current prices - but D4F aren't working and I find it really off putting. I'm really starting to dislike CFD's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sometimes get that problem little woman.
What sometimes works for me is to select another 'Layout'
on the 'Layouts' tab, and then revert back to my own 'Layout'.
Doesn't always work, but it sometimes seems to refresh the
connection and kick the Layouts Server back into life.
Pesky things computers, but where would we be without 'em. :-)

Just had a read of the Citywire weekly FTSE TA report.
What they are saying is that a short-term double top may
be in.
The way I interpret what they are saying is this.
If the FTSE breaks below 4430 then it will complete
the pattern as it breaks below the last swing low.
The next swing low which should act as support is 4330.
This is below what I was targeting of 4380, which I reckon
is where Pre-Christmas rally level starts. It also
gives a nice little spike below the 60 Day EMA.
See 3 Month bar chart below and make your own minds up.
An opinion wouldn't go amiss, either. ;-)

Storming finish on the US markets.
S@P closed well above the 1150 resistance which should
now turn into support.
FTSE is bound to open higher tomorrow so the threat of
breaking below the last swing low at 4430 is removed
for the moment.
If FTSE breaks 4480, and I don't see why it shouldn't,
that will break the highs of last Friday and today(Monday)
and should set us off on a new attack higher.
FTSE has been through 4500 twice now, so it shouldn't
prove to be a psychological barrier this time around.
Once something has been done it's a lot easier the next time.
Same as anything in life, really.
I don't know why the FTSE is below 4500 with the US where it is.
It should be attacking 4600, not 4500.
Perhaps there has been a forced seller. I did read rumours in the press
that Standard Life was selling hard to shore up it's balance sheet
for the FSA prior to a possible Market Float to raise money.
But that's all it was, rumours.
Doesn't look like like I'll get GSK at 1150 this time around, I'll
have to make do with what I've got and look for something else to put
some more money into.
LGEN might be worth a look at to play catch-up after the Politicians
have had a crack at it tomorrow for endowment mis-selling.
Punters might lose money, but I doubt LGEN will lose much, and
it may just provide enough market noise to give a good entry point.

"Avanti Communications Group plc (AIM: AVN), the broadband satellite operator, announced today (17.11.08) that it has entered into a long-term strategic partnership for the management of HYLAS traffic with BT Group plc.
Avanti has contracted BT Business to provide satellite network services for its HYLAS satellite, due for launch in 2009. BT Business will use its existing Goonhilly satellite uplinking facility to transfer all traffic between the HYLAS satellite and the Internet. Goonhilly is historically one of the most important satellite teleports in the country with more than 40 years of unrivalled experience. Goonhilly is connected via BT Business' highly resilient fibre network to the major internet nodes in London, which gives Avanti access to excellent internet connectivity. The two companies have also agreed to collaborate on certain opportunities to potentially deploy satellite broadband services.
Associated with the transaction, Avanti will also receive 1.5m of funding from the South West Regional Development Agency ('SWERDA') as a contribution to the planned investment required in operating from the facility in Cornwall and related to the local jobs created and safeguarded through this new venture."

Since the publication of our detailed note on the 5th November this broadband satellite operator has signed a 3 year VNO contact with Digisat Media of Spain. This is the first contract that will use HYLAS capacity for the distribution of radio station content to local broadcast points across the country. Digisat works with both broadband and digital media applications and together with Avanti expects to generate significant additional business. Avanti will begin services for Digisat on its leased capacity, transferring to HYLAS after the summer 2010 launch. Our target price set at 718p remains unchanged as does our stance of buy.
