There are investors, traders and gamblers. A fruit machine tells you on the front that it is only going to pay out an average of 74%. TCGs BOD tells you that it is likely to pay out 0%. Therefore, one for the gamblers only.

* Cast SA : Kepler Cheuvreux raises target price to 3.6 euros from 3.3 euros * Costain Group Plc : Stifel cuts target price to 165p from 355p * Covestro AG : Barclays cuts target

You won't see a rise in the SP until the MMs mates have filled their boots. You see all the big trades going through? At 'low' prices?

Plus the dividend. 7.22p approx.!

What was that all about? Took advantage though. Hopefully there was no reason for it except MM games.

It would be more of a surprise if inside information was NOT shared. I've lost count of the number of time a holdings RNS has shown IIs selling off just weeks or days before bad news is announced. I know I've said this before but a famous horse race trainer once said that he knew horse racing was bent but he'd rather bet on that than the Stock markets.

Many of the 'sells' showing up on this site are likely to be buys. Mine did yesterday. Looking forward to the Interims tomorrow. Surely they can't be as bad as the recent decline in SP suggests.

A lot of the buys today, around the 1130 mark, are showing as sells. Mine is definitely.

This is the fourth attempt to make a sustained breakthrough the 350 barrier. If it doesn't make it I wouldn't be surprised to see some profit taking to send it down again. Worth keeping a close eye on over the next week or so and play the game.

MCAP of 3.6bn -v- NET DEBT over 4bn??? Too risky for me when interest rates can only rise. Good luck to those in or thinking of getting in.

I'm back in. Be rude not to at these prices - surely??

threeputt, spend the tenner! Honestly, it's a bible for me now and whatever others think he talks absolute sense throughout. He may be a bit of a big headed so and so but he can afford to be. Having said that, if everyone followed his doctrine there would be less losers leading to less winners.

ilbetabuck, yup, I've read every one of the revised editions also. I went to one of his seminars and remember coming our feeling cheated but, on the way home, I realised that he was right, there is no amazing secret behind trading. Picking the right stocks is really very simple so long as you abide by a few sensible rules. Avoiding the emotions of it all is the most difficult part, especially greed. The most important thing? Timing in my view. Get out quick if it starts dropping, lose, at most, 10% in any trade and learn a lesson.

http://www.nakedtrader.co.uk/ People may not always agree with him or his trades but the methods he encourages for picking stocks are, for me, indisputable. Try reading his book 'Trade like a shark'. It would have scared you off this one straight away. I read it every three months to keep me on track and off gambles.

I can honestly say that I have never been invested here. Tempted at times I admit but I soon overcame that feeling of greed and stayed clear. However, I've kept up to date with the postings here and thank everyone for the entertainment value of them. When I first started investing I was told to steer clear of BBs and take no notice of them but I have found them to be invaluable for one reason only. When researching a share I do check the BB. If it is filed with foul language, arguments, abuse and dissent that tells me that there is something seriously wrong with that Company. If you don't believe me then check it out. It would be interesting to know of other BBs like this where there is argument and trouble. Personally, I used to enjoy PXS! Educated debate is one thing, we can't always agree, but the tone and content of some postings on here is really unacceptable.

I think you will find that it was not a buy, it was Deutsche Bank's sale that the bots misinterpreted.

If we can just break through that 1100 barrier I think we could motor on from there. If not then I may get out and try again later on.

Much more better. Totally agree but until market sentiment changes on this sector......

Relax, the markets aren't good at the mo. I think there will be more falls over the next couple of weeks then let the 'Santa Rally' begin! Fingers crossed.

Give it a chance - at least to 1100
