to the Budget , see no reason there for this dramatic fall , but the "timing " is a bit coincidental ??--------

have any idea why the massive drop in the last few minutes ??

away quite sharply today , just dipped below 500 p ??

I ask if you went into IMG ?-----Quite a rise today again i see , past my 171 average so i'm a "happier bunny" today . Pity the Ftse100 can't stay above 6600 ---------GLA.

back to the "hare and the tortoise" on this one ---Slow but Sure , or did RUSTY stuff one of them candles up its arse (lol) -----IMG bounced i see ? --GLA.

Done on your Ftse100 bet --- Closed my Dow and Ftse100 shorts but never went long ( must have been having a senior moment (lol) )---------Just posted my thoughts on IMG over on the bb ----Closed below 160 today and if it doesn't bounce tomorrow then it's looking like 150 ish next !! Just my thoughts ( i'm still long from av. 171 p so i'm no one to give advice (lol) ---------GL tho'.

You know what i mean !! -----------

remember when i was a "nipper" we had to make our own candles out of the fat left over from animal fat !! (lol)----------Good ol' days ( i think not ) . Even get smelly ones that float in the bath with you nowadays (lol). Bought the "gravity " dvd today so that's my evening sorted ( Sandra B. scantily clad --i'm goingt o be all a qviver )------GLA. Bye the way , almost forgot , come on FGP (lol).

to agree with you there .----(DOW wants to test 16100 , tonight ? )---------GLA.

" Short" the Ftse100 from 6592 and "Short" the Dow from 16290 ---------Things looking good for my shorts but not for anything else . (stops at 6605 and 16305 ). --GLA.

Struggling to stay above 6600 now ---If this level gives way it will mean that the DOW has already lost the 16300 level and is heading for 16000 support -----------Might be time to grab the suitcases and find a saver mode of travel ---------GLA.

Another " brilliant " day for this one ---Not checked specifically , but it hit around 526/527 p as a high today -------Driving forward towards the Ex -Divi date --- Good companies can show us all a "thing or two" about Fundamentals ! ---- Pity the FTSE100 wasn't as loyal today , pinned firmly to the DOW's coat -tails ?? ---Aviva will "give-up " some gains along the way , but i wouln't be surprised to see it inching up a bit more before april ---God ( and the DOW) willing (lol)------------------GLA those keeping the faith .

Like "The Market" doesn't agree with me at the moment (lol)----------I'm sure they will see the error of their ways very soon tho' (lol)----------------------GLA , Aviva doing very well against the general market "flow" ( at the mom!! ).

Know what you mean ---have left my IMG run at the mom, looks like we were both right on direction there ----Have been in and out of the FTSE100 all day , it's tracking the DOW Futures pretty accurately at the mom--------managed to bank a few quid , but it's very "intense stuff" ----- GL. ( still no Rusty here ? )

To see some contrarian views as to where the sp is going --all good stuff---i "stick " to my view , however, on a retrace from current levels or thereabouts ( may rise to 526 p ) ---it is overbought now , and above all averages , and it will "track" the the movements of the FTSE , which in turn will track the DOW .-----The time of year is against it now , so although we may not see 480 p again , we will see 490/495 p or very close before any upward trend continuation --- 5 year trends will show you this as well as more immediate trends.-----------JMVHO ---GLA.

You found me on IMG ---- Pity on that one really ---Might hold on a bit longer , see what next week brings .

Here, buddy, and in profit ( just) . Rusty is over on BLNX and COMS i think ? -----Still trying to get the upper hand on the FTSE100 ( down a bit on friday , but made up for it by shorting AV )-----Should have gone "short" on the DOW on friday when it breached 16500----I think the Ukrainian " problem" may help us know the direction very soon now ?? -------GL.

In " overbought" territory technically ---Pull-back to circa 479/480 p to bring it in line with daily averages . Brushing Barclays downgrade aside (lol), will be a "buy" again as long as 479 is held--------------GLA.

Overbought now on technicals and against the Buy/Sell ratio , expect a pullback anytime soon, to consolidate , before moving higher -------------Gla.

Day , so far, for all those who kept the faith . Only wish i had bought more . A little over extended at the moment , but well done AV. --------------------GLA.
