Didn't see Trump comment, but how ridiculous that he sends them out all day, every day...he is mental.
Missile strike not ideal, maybe not that bad but surely will be down. 1327 was a big high, not very smart, me not selling last night. Could start anywhere this morning, let's see.
At least we know 13+ is do-able in near future.

Never heard anyone predicting that today so can't be angry with yourself T. I would think sp would drop back a bit in morning and maybe increase, but I don't know. Might just be short term enthusiasm. Over 4% a big jump. I've seen things slide back the same amount before. Will know soon enough.
I wasn't sure you were buying more?
Looks like the graph never lies!!!
I even paid 1420 for some earlier in year but sold because I thought they weren't going to go any higher. Seemed a bit scary at that point.
MKS didn't hold onto whole gain today and I don't know how much further they have got in them... 10-15p max?, usually nearer £2. it's a year or since they were steadily 3. They will prob. improve once the delivery gets going. Don't know about their clothes, struggling to compete with ultra cheap competition that isn't going away.

Fair enough, but I don't know about safety issues. When was the last crash?

What a day!
I got back at 4.27pm and looked at HL, was tempted to sell again...but thought, could I be that lucky? so left it... but surely will be down tomorrow?
Happy bunny with anything above 13 for a start, yes.
I don't really like Morrisons the shop, but prefer NOT to hear more bad news. Shops like that are probably more susceptible to damage from Aldi than others because they are more or less fighting to win a race to the bottom.

Funny that there is all this pussy-footing around for a few weeks then suddenly someone switches on the engine.
Good luck tomorrow.

Cooling down quicker, got that wrong. Need to develop some patience...even 30mins or an hour. Still rest of day to go.
I am still happy to have Ocado. Maybe it will take another run at 1310 etc. in next few days.

I know where you are coming from with Tullow, can't blame anyone for trying. It is a stressful business buying shares. On my limited knowledge of Tullow, I wouldn't worry too much. Get rid and wait for something more obviously going to get better. Oil and mining seem VERY volatile things. I used to buy Investors Chronicle and they recommended STRIX...makes electrical kettle switches...sounds boring....and is, but they never drop much and went from about 140 to 200 at one point.

I felt better when I dumped Versarien, they might hit big time one day, but might disappear...can't say.

I made enough for a couple of fillings today... that's a bonus

see how day ends.....

Now that I've read your very accurate summary. I did buy back at 13, as predicted, you said too fast.
Probably didn't make much there. I just think now, barring the war, they'll move into 1320 territory soon
Didn't think to see if you'd replied so quick! thanks for thinking about me.
1296 .5 to buy now. let's see if the pattern of late today/morning continues.
There was a rush of blood, plus doing something else, got to go to dentist in an hour...all excuses.
Ultimately, I don't think I can let go!!!

You are right. sold half at 1310, lets see. May be a mistake, once these get going all rules out of window,

that's 13, positive news being reflected from somewhere

my feeling is might stay above 3, but could be wrong later in day

don't know...1308!!!!

are you watching...13

Yes, things can be staring you in the face. Devoid of emotion seems to be right. I can remember thinking 10 years ago that Greggs was expensive, I just take much interest in them.
I lost money on Banks too. I even switched from Lloyds to Barclays because initially they were almost unscathed. HSBC would have been the best choice with them being in Asia...derrrr wasn't that obvious. All in the past now, so just got to keep trying ...if you don't do anything you certainly won't make anything.

Could be very right about calm.
In general, do you think it is better to more pessimistic about a shares prospect? ...not sure what I mean, but was reading about hope and fear.

hi T, Wow, didn't see MKS. Must be keeping OCDO buoyant, although slipping back as I speak. Long day ahead.
Yes, I do dummy trades...even pressed accept once by accident, so have to be very careful. Sometimes better to leave the screen to close rather than hit a button.
I suppose today's sentiment so far is very, very cautious relief.
Will have to watch intraday closely, but historical shows a fairly gradual climb from Nov 11 towards 13. After that depends on results or new projects. Ideally I would have paid closer to 12, but still.
You don't think there has been a gradual rise since Nov 11 heading to 13?

How did you go T?
I'm just racking my brain to see how I can trade these quickly without a big spread. HL will only pay touch price for 1000.
Not sure how today will pan out, war worries subsided a little but FTSE stil wary. Maybe US up later?
I suppose they may well drop back to 70's later?

Well I never. I gave up and went to do something else.
Don't know what's brought that rush on, but good to see. 1269 a bit tight for me to sell.
Tomorrow another interesting one, depending on general market sentiment.
FTSE recovery today not too bad considering.
Even 609 for IAG slightly better than I thought. I can't remember 640, but only a few days ago I saw 636 glaring back at me on screen and I wondered if that was best we would get for moment.
Have you read the book Reminiscences of a Stock operator? I don't know if it's that well written, but interesting in parts, about literally just watching numbers and getting a feeling.
Tullow treading water.
Surprised even more people don't shop with Ocado.

Britain saying it won't bomb cultural sites, I suppose is a tiny positive!

Well, I was looking at Ocado chart when it rebounded to 1244 after 1233, that seemed positive, but then, I wouldn't have predicted getting back to 1260 now.
"IF", I had been buying today and watching falling prices live, I think around 1248 I probably would be buying on way up again.
Otherwise, my chart reading skill is showing 1280 tops and 1220 bottom, so we are in the middle of that????
IAG, I see 590 on chart and it could get there in next new days if no positive news, but it had been held back for many months due to Brexit and looking at the flat plateau, I thought they seemed solid over 6 .
Basically, they have nothing to be pushing them up at moment and only negative news piling up, so I suppose that is the answer! Again, Easyjet has not dropped as far and has recovered very slightly better.
Therefore!!!, in answer to what you are probably saying, to make it worth my while selling now rather than opening, IAG would have to go down to 570 or more.
Good news for Ocado though, seem to be resilient around this mid 1200 price?
My wife loves Ocado, good special offers, good veg, plus interesting new products and they don't quibble about returns. What's not to like?

Did look at graphs, thanks T, Ocado recovering quite well now.
Tullow even up a smidge. IAG still iffy.
I saw Aldi did well, no surprise there. Their strategy of an ugly discount store still working. Prices are only a few pence cheaper and products mostly inferior. They've been around a long time, just not in UK. They know their stuff. Their mince pies and prosecco might win Good housekeeping awards, but I wouldn't eat one. M&S far better. Got a splitting headache after trying their prosecco once.
Morrisons tomorrow, not sure which other day for rest...do you know?

When i looked opening, IAG down from 625 to 615, that was time to take small hit exactly as you said. Thought again at 607 thinking that was bottom-ish, did nothing and now hovering 599-600. Need to make quicker decisions...no time to wait. They could recover a bit. Their result end Feb.
Ocado at 1235, still in the OK-ish ballpark, for now.
I suppose the people in the back room are happy for Trump to do what he does "best"
Are we (me) stupid to have not known that after a good US market run, there would be a shake up of some sort, especially in Jan. Can't predict everything, but maybe this was elementary.
