4 year old boys at the moment are everyone's " worst nightmare " !!!! --- they destroy expensive toy statues and sadly get endangered gorilla species destroyed !!! ---- Not being TOO unkind to 4 year old boys , am i (lol) ----- GLA -----

Morning All ---- hope you're still talking to me Optimus ?? ---- Closed the Gold long at 1216.1 ( H&S on the 5 minute around the 1217 marker this morning so got out ) . Got all sorts of problems with one laptop freezing all over the place ----- very annoying atm. !!! The Ftse100 & Dax seem to be rallying a bit --- so on the sidelines for now !! -- GLA ----

You're up late tonight !!!! --- By the way it's EOLYS not ELOYS --- ELOYS were those creatures that lived underground in the film " The Time Machine " i seem to remember !!! -- But i completely get your drift about the modern car and its onboard computer --- dashboards and under bonnets getting more like the helm of the Starship Enterprise every day !! (lol) ---- You've got thru' a few cars , i see, ------ GL ---- Gold seems to be holding atm !!!

Who's gone and messed the Teca board up --- or is it just my computer ?? ---

It's not a vauxhall then ???

To be perfectly honest i thought Redex was a thing of the past --- still readily available , i see, after all these years . Well, i'll go to the foot of our stairs (lol) ---- GLA ----

Optimus ---- well, got stopped out of that Dax for a 10 point loss but up on a Gold long from 1207 ( thought that had got to be worth another go at that level ) Stop at b/e now on that --- So overall the day is about b/e again --- very boring stuff !! ---- GLA ----

Troajan not Trojagan !!!---

Eolys Fluid (lol) --- a few years back we made do with a shot of Redex for every gallon of petrol when filling up. I guess you , Dierich & Trojagan will remember those " good old days " --- not sure GS is old enough (lol) . GLA ---- up a bit already on that Dax short !!! ---

Took 30points off the Dax short --- made up for the running loss atm. on TCG , so happy with that !!. Back in Dax short again just at 10207 !!!--- reasonably tight stop so as to not lose all the day's gains !!. Gold dropping back, i see !!--- looks like our decision to close out was correct so far (lol) --- GL with your back !!---

Keep on Trucking, matey .----- STOB looking a bit " toppy " atm ( overbought daily rsi and all that ) but doing extremely well since the results , so who knows what it'll do after a slight consolidation !! My TCG has an extremely dire 10 year chart , it has to be said ---- but easy pickings for that Chinese company if it wants to make a bid !!! At the moment tho' i'm down a few quid on it (lol) ----- Optimus :--- went short the Dax @ 10201 ---just a hedge bet in case any nightmare scenario is in the offing very soon !!!! GLA -----

Got my TCG @ 76.12p ---- time will tell !!! --- GLA ----

Better than sitting in a bath of hot soapy water " munching " on a hot (soapy) Cornish pasty (lol) --- Optimus : ---- Gold just hit 1219.6 ( damn it ) --- Got a long order in for 5000 TCG for the morning !! Just a punt on the hopes of 10% or so profit or perhaps a takeover bid at current low levels ( Shares Mag tip). GLA --- got to try and get some sleep now (lol) ----

Selling a few that caused this drop , honestly !!!!-- Didn't have THAT many to start with (lol) --- Pleased i timed it right tho' ---- GLA --- be back up soon as long as we don't get Zak Mir's prediction of Dow 7000 by august materialising --- we're all doomed in that scenario !!!!---

Like the Clotted Cream part of the country !!!--- St.Ives is a favourite of mine !!!----- GLA ---

Another lovely sunny day --- that makes 4 on the trot here , almost unheard of on a bank holiday weekend !! Belated Happy Birthday to you GS --- Your good lady sounds like my sort of woman , if you don't mind me saying , willing and able to get down and get dirty !! --- the hands , i mean , with the bath re-enamelling etc !! At the risk of sounding sexist --- there's lot to be to said for a practical lady !!! Good Luck with Gold Optimus ------ i've just closed mine at a smidgen under 1218 to bank a near as damn it 17 point gain . That'll do me for now especially as Mr. Mahony sees that level as the 76.4 % fib. retracement level from friday's sell off !! -- Time will tell, but i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now with his 1223. candle level. !!-- Nothing else moving much --- except Aviva ( down ) . Made the right choice to dump a few more last week , it would seem !! -- MTC still rising a bit and ETO up also today --- IMG up a bit but ITV slipped down a few pence , i see --- You haven't changed back into EMG now have you GS ??? --- GLA --- washing machine broke down again and flooded the kitchen floor , so have given up on it finally and ordered another one from Curry's for friday (lol) ---

Long 1201.3 ----- got the test of the 1200 major supp. marker , now need to see if it holds !!! I'd give it no better than evens on holding atm. !!! (lol) ---- Back to bed !!!! ---

Gold --- it's doing my head atm (lol) --- Decided to take the 1207.8 stop off and watch the 1 min. like a hawk !!!--- The technical view is still quite dire atm.--- altho' most time frames are skirting RSI oversold the MA's & MACD's are looking like further drops to around 1200 or possibly near the 1183 support level . Shocking really , but the strength of the dollar is giving Gold a real bad time atm. --- Anyways , i got out with 2 point loss ---- making a 10 point loss in total , so not really anything to worry too much about .!!!--- That's me out now until the technicals look as if they've at least turned a corner on the 1 hr candle !!. May lose out on getting that 10 points back in the short term ---- but it'll come , eventually (lol) -- GL sir ----

AA for the update !!-- An otherwise quiet board today !!!--- just got back in weighed down with shopping and a wallet that's a tidy bit lighter than this morning (lol) ---- Gold seems set on testing the 1200 level atm ---- i'm a point or two up still , i think, but didn't get the bottom it would seem as that was around the 1210 marker earlier today !!!-- ITV, IMG, and MTC all up a bit so those dreaded swings and roundabouts today again ---- Hmm, Gold dropping as i write this ---- gonna be 12 points down soon , i suspect !!!!--- GLA ---- long weekend ahead and scorching temperatures to come apparently !!! --

Morning All --- lovely sunny morning now that the sun has broken thru' . I'm of out to a flea market soon and then shopping in my county town !!. Optimus :-- just an update on Gold .Stopped out yet again in the wee small hours , so i'm back to an 8 point loss again (lol) . But , you know me , i'm not going to be deterred and miss the coming rise ( question mark ) and i'm back in by no more than a gnats b*****k i would think on my 4 point lower than stop order @ 1211.8 !!!---- With IG that would not have been triggered as their overnight spread is different to Finspreads -- so i am over the moon atm that i'm in at the absolute overnight bottom and already have the 8 points back , on paper anyway. Makes a change from them stopping me out usually on similar conditions (lol) ---- Nothing pulling back yet . It would seem that the bull is still running around unchained atm !!!!! GLA ----
