Today's close represented a 12.5% gain on a 380p buy-in !! Not a bad return for around a 5 week investment !! GLA ----

Yes , maybe ---- 200dma currently stands around 443p but with daily rsi only standing around 64 atm., both stoch. momentum indicators very positive & top bollinger up around that 440p marker then i think , as i said, just maybe it's got some more legs on this move !! --- Then maybe that's all just a load of " stupid nonsense " and it'll sink like a stone tomorrow (lol) --- I have around the 419p marker as being S1 atm ?? --- GL sir ----

Yes ----- progress has been painfully slow but there has been progress nonetheless !!! Still got some legs on this move if it cares to use them (lol) --- finnharps 440p level would be nice anytime soon and then possibly re-evaluate !!! GL -----

Yep, only Peel Hunt & Jefferies International's targets to reach now ------ above all others now . GL ----

It used to be called the Sandford Hotel back in my day --- I think the Indian restaurant is still next door but that whole area has been recently revamped . . Standing on the beach today looking back at Barmouth and could see the " Castle " on the hill --- Sounds like a good tour around ----- altho' not much to do in Ironbridge unless you've got a " fat " wallet for the entry fees (lol) . GL sir ---

Wooden bridge in Shrewsbury , Vermont , USA ----

Have no idea about the wooden bridge you speak of !!! -- Pray tell where that is !!! --- GL ----

Well done , top of the class for you (lol) ---- Wetherspoons pubs ------ The Shrewsbury Hotel ( formerly The Britannia Hotel ) , & Montgomery's Tower , a pub & nightclub frequented by my son . " Iron Skyscraper " now known as The Maltings and is presently under yet another reconstruction / overall and is surrounded by scaffolding . Many years ago when it was operating as a real maltings Brewery i had the major task of fitting it out with a whole new telephone system ---- took me months !!! But for my troubles the then manager supplied me with several cases of real " off the line " bottled beer as a thank you !! GL -----

Just got back from Barmouth ----glorious weather !!! Wow ---- everything going up , i see , Aviva, AHT , Tesco , Barcs ----- gains all across the board it seems !!! All except my ITV (lol) ----- Optimus : ---- which one have you booked ?? What made you decide on Shrewsbury for a break ?? GLA ---- my Gold long still in the money atm .

Yes, meant 1332 (lol) --- Only a couple of points or so up now ------ agree with you on it being a tad undecided still atm. Couldn't get this website to work for several hours earlier so left it till i got back home a few minutes ago . Off early to Barmouth tomorrow ( today ---tuesday !! ) . Looks like Summer hasn't quite finished yet -- wednesday & friday set to be decent as well !! Heaven knows when i'll get my gardening done this year (lol) . GL ----

Optimus :---- didn't get the high but closed at 10505 for + 60 points . About 6 pts. up on Gold atm ---- GLA ----

I'm Long the Dax 10445 ---couldn't get in any lower ( pity) . GL ----

All " chaps " here atm. ----- can't seem to attract any " chapesses" !!!! Well, unless somebody has successfully hidden their true " identity" ,as it were, for all this time !!! Optimus ---- i'm Gold long now from 1232 , so fingers firmly crossed ( 4 point stop again as usual ). Dax has just taken a big drop ( 100 points or more ) in less than a minute and recovered half so far ?????--- i damn well knew i should have left my swing short running (lol) . GLA ---- Barmouth beckons tomorrow again .

The guy who does the update every week has Vedanta in the Comp. --- Do you reckon there's some " fiddling " going on there somewhere ----- inside info perhaps ??(lol)) . I jest , of course, ----- well done AA ( hope you have some real Ved. under your mattress ) . Thanks for the update ---- that old Lego character has done me over again this week !! GLA ----

He became a changed person ( if you follow my drift ) and then wished to take a sabbatical from the boards --- If he's watching then all here wish him every good fortune and hope for his return at some point in the future . GL sir ----

Disappointing end to the day for AHT !!! ----had recovered well from this level this morning but the continued weakness across the pond has dragged it back again, i suspect . GLA ----

Yep, Gs is into LGEN at the moment !!--- He stands no nonsense here in the " cave " from anyone ---- most of all me . I come here for the peace and tranquility after my " rants" elsewhere (lol) . Gl sir ----

Not a patch on our Golden Ocean cave ( OR71) ----- Bye ----

Didn't notice before but there is now another Golden Ocean BB ( OR11 ) --- Hmmm---- GL sir ----

No, never been a pro. trader !!! Worked for BT for 41 years ---- used to Buy & Hold most stocks & shares way back then but got into Spread Betting and now do both . Got into Spread Betting the Indicies ( mainly Dow & Dax & Gold ) and that is now my preference , apart from a few like AHT, AV.. IMG etc. which can be very " tradeable " . Most of my long term holds are now Corporate Bonds or Funds . Do a lot of P2P lending as well--- altho' cut well back on the amount of accounts i have with those as a lot of companies are now defaulting on their repayments ( sign of the times , i suppose ) and there's no Financial Services protection on them . Made a mint out of my work Share Save Schemes thru' the years and was also making extremely good money with Equity Traded Options thru' Charles Schwabb for many years until they closed their options desk and i just didn't bother with Options from there on . Excellent final salary pension from BT & old age pension to look forward to next year . But i still don't like losing money on any trade or deal i make ( who does ?? ) . Bet you didn't think i was that old !!! Or perhaps you did as my posting style did sort of reflect a " grumpy old man " didn't it (lol) . GL sir ---- AHT recovering nicely from that morning low .
