Of a shame today that negative markets have taken SL back below that 390/391 level . Did well to break thu' , fingers crossed for a continuation. --GLA.

All good /bad things come in "threes" , so it will go past that triple top this time (lol)-----Ftse100 and Dow looking "fairly " healthy at the mom.. Even Rusty's KAZ and BLNX are on the up !! ---GL.

Markets have just issued a "sell note" on KAZ ------ GL.

Am really loosing my patience with this one --- More downside to come now !! ----GL both.

Bounced off my 475 p target level ---Let's hope this proves to be low enough ?------GLA.

Like like we may have a small trading range developing between 139 p and 145 p ---Lets see !!----GL.

somebody knows something i don't (lol) --- but this is not just "oversold " it is slowly being "buried alive " ---I've seen some " market over-reactions " in my time to " mediochre" announcements , but this is a bit extreme i would say . Support is now at somewhere close to 375/376 ----- GL everyone .

475 p or possibly as low as circa 460 p penciled in for early next week before " good value" is seen and the uptrend continues .( This all assumes we don't go to war with Russia in the meantime and that the earth don't stop revolving , (lol) ) .------let's see , GLA.

Just to correct my earlier post , support is at 399/400 not 410 . Closed today a tad over 400 i think . The spike late this afternoon took me out but i'm back in on monday if 400 holds . It is very "oversold" technically and a bounce of some sort will come ( famous last words ) ---GL.

This one has dropped quite considerably along with others but Technically more "pain " to come yet as it still does not represent "good value" for ii's . LGEN and RSL on the rise again from "oversold" technicals , so offer better "value" . Aviva may hopefully start to rise soon as ex-divi day is approaching , but a little more downside to bring it in line may be seen . ---------JMVHO ---GLA.

have looked back thru' the last 3 years RNS's and cannot find another "trading " statement issued at this time ( march ) . I do hope that this is not a "cushion " of sorts to the results etc. due in a few weeks time ??--The SP at this level has historic support and probably represents a good buying opportunity for a " bounce " in the days to come ----Just not convinced that this RNS does not mean something more" unsavoury " to come ???---------GLA.

see a Gap Fill / 50% Retrace to circa 170 p on the break of 144/145 p --------------I also saw the "fairies" at the bottom of my garden this morning !! --( that's what woke me up so god damn early ? (lol) )-------------GLA.

a bit of a "triple top" at around the 143/145 p level now. Above it and we go into second gear (hopefully) , but got to get above it first ( there's always a "but" to these things (lol) ) . --- "Knock Three Times On The Ceiling " etc etc ( Dawn , i think ? would be appropriate at this juncture ) -------------GLA>

A cynical view !! I don't think Shatter was trying to be "smart" , and he/she makes a damn good point about this lot in "power" grabbing your 20% if you want to take all your money out.!! -----Osborne is onto a good little "earner " and " vote winner " with this . Why else do you think he's done it at this point in time ??-----GLA.

using my BT pension as an example only to give to MALPAT as he was talking about NHS pensions , which would probably be as good as mine from BT. ? I would, as you elude too, probably not be able to better my existing pension from BT even if i could obtain the remainder of my pension pot and use it to buy an annuity with another provider ., which, as i said, is as far as i'm aware ,not possible anyway. NHS pensions probably have the same restictions on them ? -----GL>

As i'm aware there are some pensions that you cannot "unlock" thru' buying an Annuity ---NHS pensions may be one of those ? Only company pensions that can be bought thru' an annuity will be "easier " and cheaper ( tax wise ) to "unlock" . I retired with a BT pension and was allowed to take 25% of my "pension pot " at the time of retirement , but i don't think i can release any more as BT will not allow Annuity Release !! ---May be wrong , not 100% sure ----GL.

a better money maker now than AV. on the technicals--JMVHO .

The dust settles in a day or so and this initial "panic selling" is over and done with , then sp will creep back up . Companies must be pretty "miffed" tho' with Mr. Osborne , they defo. did'nt see this one coming ? (lol)---GLA.

will be good for all those out there that "shorted" AV. (lol)-------down to 477 p now , might just prove to be a good buying opportunity now in the run up to the ex-divi date ----- Everything completely "overdone " as usual ---Will recover somewhat from current low as "common sense prevails" ( hopefully cos i've just gone long ) ----GLA.

The life insurers have taken a tumble --- pension/ annuity lock-in now relaxed for people of pension age , bit of a kneee jerk / knock-on effect i think before everyone gets to grip with the implications of not having to buy an Annuity to release your pension pot ??
