I never do research before buying in. What's the point? Now, when there's cash at stake, then it's a different game.

Why are we getting excited about next week, remind me please?

Don't do it oily. Leveraged spread betting for an investor is like heroin for a tobacco smoker.

PS, mind you, a fair chunk of my EUA profits double-bagged on ALTN before being spread across a few other bids, including SNG. All worked out like a dream in the end. Just need SNG to deliver now.

Well, Prop, I've actually sold EUA in the mid 5s average. It was different there. SP three-bagged on no news. That's a definite sell for me and I don't regret selling off - even though I could have retired on it if I held my entire stake all the way through (I was holding waay more that I was comfortable at the time and it was starting to mess with my head. I was annoyed at the suspension. Glad it played out for holders.

It's different here. Higher pressures, actual news, higher stakes. Glad to be in this one.

Me playing? Just keeping the board spirit up. We'll need good vibes with all of the deramping going on.

I was playing the fomo factor over the last couple of months and was just lucky enough to take a position again last week. It's sticky hands mode from now on.

US wouldn't want to be out of this one over the weekend!

How long before fomo kicks in?

You don't want to be out of this... Well, you just don't want to be out of this. Full stop.

Highly leveraged CDFs are a whole different game to buying stock though.

Bot flies are out.

Somebody wants your shares.

Desire to see 100% returns? You must be joking.

1000% more like it.

Strap on!

Could be just MMs rocking the boat of course. Time will show.

It was Tuesday.
Now the long wait to 24th December. Although Guy Fawkes might be on the cards too.

That would make a good rock'n'roll band.

I'll refrain from commenting on "tremendous spread", or I'll get more rotten tomatoes chucked at me.

Mrs B is doing well by the way if anyone's wondering.

Off the strip?
Apologies for my trader ignorance - what does that mean exactly?

John - Possibility of MMs doing the shorting spiral.
Sharp rise made them borrow stock. They did not want to realise their loss at £2.40 vs 35p borrowed, so they start bashing SP every day, weeding out the weak, minimising their losses.
Since under the current regulations they are not required to report any shorts, regardless of their size, for all we know they could have shorted over 50% of the company on Monday and are now slowly making their way back.

Get some sleep chaps. With a bit of luck we'll wake up to a suspension RNS.

If no RNS on open, then expect to tank before lunch, then sharp rise on fomo mofos after lunch, then slight sell-off into the close with day traders cashing out their booze money for the weekend.

Just ignore the short term fluctuations.
