You been on the booze early ?? Marks and Spencer is three words and ends with the letter R !!!!!--- ( I have to confess tho' , it is the first thing i thought of when i saw the letters M and S in GS 's post ( lol) ---- GL sir ----

Late start to the day from me today !!!!--- Howling storm and lashing rain kept everyone awake all night ---well that and the next door neighbours bedroom television left on all night !!!!--- The wife is around there now having a quiet word about it (lol) ---- Markets having more of that Santa cheer, i see atm ----- most things higher , so that's a welcome bonus !!---- Anotherhopeful :---- Good to hear from you and a Merry Xmas to you also ---- i agree it is a horrible sounding word so i am putting forward a motion that we drop the word LURKERS as from today !!!! What we replace it with i have no idea ---- all ideas welcome !!! GLA ------

Merry Christmas GS , ------ Merry Christmas Optimus ,------ Merry Christmas Lurkers , ---------------- I'm Gonna look pretty stupid now aren't i if that's not the two words you had in mind ?? ------

Busy Busy busy today with Xmas shopping in Shrewsbury & Telford ----so the trading had to take a back seat today i;m afraid !!!!!---- Yet another Turkey carvery for evening meal --- Be well fed up of turkey by the time Christmas Day comes around (lol) --- Good to see everything rising a bit today --- i won't bother much now till after the festivities , just let things be for now unless something exceptional happens !!!!!!!--- GLA ----

I hope i'm going to be reimbursed for all the Star Wars theme decorations i " forked out " for !!! --- not forgetting the cost of my Darth Vader costume !!!!---- Optimus , i hold you responsible (lol) ----- Not much happening on the trading front today ,i see, other than everything going up --- and then everything going down !!! --- So no change there then (lol) ---- GLA ------

Well i guess i'll have to be the "baddy " again (lol) ----- So i'll be the " EYE " aka SAURON --- I see ADMIN have fixed the " RE " problem for me ---thank you Jo . GLA ----

Just been to see Star Wars ---- brilliant !!!--- Got a problem with this platform atm -----can't see any of my own posts when i've posted them ----only while i'm actually pressing the keys ?????? Any Ideas ???? -- GL ----

It's just there anyway now all the time and not even in response to any previous post !!!!--- Annoying or what ????? -- GLA ---

Has that annoying " RE : " been in the front of EVERY Post Header for long or has it just started happening ?? It looks like it's in response to the Previous Posters ID now and not the Thread ---- and was never there before unless actually written by the poster themselves !!!!----- Now EVERY post on every board has it at the start of the Header ????????????????--- GLA -----Star Wars tonight for me , hopefullly !!!!!--

Also looking at Norcros --- big drops on this one and Old Mutual with the South African thing !!!!--- Just a few for a gamble !!!-- GLA -----

Morning Everyone ----- Indicies coming back off recent highs once again , i see !!!--- GS :--- AVIVA . You kept that quiet ( sneaky ---lol) . but GL , i'm still in as well . Optimus :--- My lad went to see Star Wars last night , and wasn't overly impressed --- a lot of empty seats he said and that was on the first night of showing !!!!--- i'll probably go Sunday night . Bought a few Old Mutual and a few Chimmy Choo --- Interesting list of top ten funds in this weeks Shares Mag .----need more time to digest before committing !!!-- Off out now to continue Xmas shopping --well done on your Turkey GS --- we'll be seeing you on Masterchef next year at this rate ---i don't know one end of a Turkey from the other (lol) , thankfully my good lady is a master of these things !!!--- GLA ----- i'll drop by later , so make sure the cave is clean and tidy on my return and we can all share an early mince pie or two (lol) -----

Very true !!!---- ( a 148.30p close then ---- i see my IG now settled back to concur with LSE and Yahoo ) --- GLA ----

Mid ---- on the bell i have it !!!--- So a tick or two up from yesterdays close ---- not all bad !!!-- GLA ----

Was the daily high according to my IG Index i minute chart ------ But looks to be closing the day very much around where it closed yesterday atm . !!----- perhaps a tad higher !!!--- A few minutes to go yet tho' ----- Everything pulling back a bit from days highs as the Dow gives up some of its gains and the Ftse follows suit ----- Time yet for a Santa Rally ----- keep your fingers crossed !!-- Agree on the Winter thing tho' --very mild and daffodils in flower (lol) ----weird is the word !!!!-- GL sir ---

Give ya one guess who i'm gonna come as !!!! ------ My Light Sabre is red and i keep saying ------ " Yes, my master " (lol) ---- GL ----- May the Force be with You ----

" back up over the 9 day moving average " , not as posted " the 9 day MACD signal " ---- Apols. and Goodnight (lol) ---

GS / Optimus :--- Yes it happened to me several times with Yodel !!!!---- always saying they left a card but never did . Well, US rates are up --- just 0.25% -- but the markets seem to have warmed to the idea -- Should see a lift in equities first thing today --- be interesting to see if we get a follow thru' over the next few days --- Caught a few points on the Dow so happy with that ---- IMG looks like a lost cause atm !!!!!!-- GL both and goodnight !!!!----

The SP does have the tentative signs of a Technical reversal on the Daily atm ------- Anyone brave enough ( or clever enough ) to have gone Long on the extreme oversold RSI down at sub 140p on friday would now have a 6p or so march on anyone that waited for the MACD crossover at 144.5p on tuesday !!--That's when the PA crossed back up over the 9 day MACD signal !!--- A few pence to go yet tho' before any Bullish Confirmation is given ----- Needs the 12 SMA ( dma) to cross back above the 26 SMA (dma) which as you posted will be around the 156p level ----perhaps slightly lower !!--- This level coincides with recent good resistance and has to be breached and held to give it that bullish confirmation !!---- If that happens on a two day closing basis then we may just have the start of a reversal and higher to come ---- All JMVHO ---so GL everyone --

Lol----- no , not quite that high !!!!!---- My paper holding is at 171p --so that's underwater for now !!!!--- Last lot i went long on was at 185.1 ( see post of 30 nov.) ---- Took my eye off the ball a bit with this one , should have taken the profit at near 200p , i know and gone short on the drop below historic support at 161p ----- So only my self to blame --- but done well in the past on this one ---just not recently (lol) ---- GL sir --- have done very well tho' on the Dow and Dax ( may give up stocks altogether in favour of the Indicies).

My worst Investment of the year , this dog !!!!--- Even my long held paper investment is under water ---no sign of any recovery on the horizon atm either !!!--- What a shambles of a Company !!!-- GLA ----
