Bertram, --- it would seem rather ironic if this one falls out of the Ftse100 given , as you say, that it has outperformed the other 3 over the last 12 weeks and may well be on the cusp of a turnaround ---- Unfortunately the powers that be will not have such (sentimental ) thoughts on their minds come wednesday !!!!--- GL sir ----

Yes, fingers crossed --- strong buy/sell ratio today , but i see Gold had a good positive day also !!!-- GL-----

Bought a few IMG at a smidgen over 185p so it's fingers crossed now !!!---- Closed the Dax short for +70pts. and been Dax long since 11350 !!----- Yes, main thing was no one hurt in your accident ---- last big one i had was about 10 years ago in my BT Ranger - One hell of a 4x4 beast !!!--- went clean over the top of a Rover Metro in front of me at an island approach !!--- He didn't move on went it went clear to do so BUT i did (lol) ------ Needless to say it pretty much destroyed the Metro but just twisted the one wheel on my Ranger ---- Everyone "shaken & stirred" but again no permanent injuries !!!!----- GL ----

I guess the Interims aren't gonna make for pleasant reading if this drop is anything to go by !!!--- Well into oversold territory now on a short term technical basis ----- Picked up a few just at 185.1p ---looking for a bounce of some sort atm. from this oversold level --- GLA -----

If it was you doing 60mph approaching a mini roundabout then you're a very naughty boy !!!!!!---- Approaches to roundabouts are posted with 30mph or 40mph limits !!!!!----trees or no trees (lol) ---- GL -----

listed below have a 3yr. return of between 200% -250% , 5yr return of between 315% - 531% ---- One year return of between 126% - 136% ---- These are Investment Trusts tho' not Funds ---- slightly different albeit with a lot of similarities as well !!!-- Not a bad return history i would suggest ------ BUT i take your point about next year on board !!!---- Looking at IMG atm.----drop is / may well be , overdone now in the run up to Interims on the 15th Dec.----- Just a thought , but i'll probably grab a few in a minute ------ I'm already in That Marlb. Multi Cap Fund !!--- My Dax short doing well again ---almost stopped out but missed by a whisker , thankfully (lol) --- GL ----

Morning All --- platform running very, very, slowly still !!!!! ----- They're trying to fix it but not much success it would seem atm ----- There was a Mk111 Ford Mondeo released in 2001 but at a guess i'd say they didn't cost that much so it must be another make / model lego is talking about !!--- Weather taken a downturn again ---got to get to the vets on foot this afternoon as road is closed for repair ---- Gonna cost a fiver a week in tablets for the cat for life -----if we can get em down her throat (lol) ---- If not then it's bye, bye, moggy i'm afraid ---Thyroid trouble getting worse apparently !!!!-- Optimus ---yes, Dax has powered away again today ( unbelievable when it decides to go ) --- Caught some of todays rise and now been short from 11420 ( double top) which i'm pleased to say was pretty much todays high ---gone down a bit atm., but not convinced that it will not head for higher very soon !!!!--- Have kissed and made up with the good lady ---- not a mark on the new top ( as i told her all along ) --- she can't resist my magnetic charm for long (lol) ----- Morrisons look set to drop out of the Ftse100 on wednesday --pity--- Everything else sort off treading water atm in my PF ---- Thinking and looking very hard at going into some more Uk smaller comps. Investment Trusts --- Just a few that take my eye with a good track record are :--- Standard Life UK Smaller Comps. IT ----- -- Henderson Smaller Comps. IT ------ Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Comps. IT ----- JP Morgan Smaller Comps IT ----- Shares Mag " Spotlight " highlights Smaller Com. Funds & IT's as potential winners next year !!!!!--- GS :-- what do you reckon ???? GLA -----

You fail to mention what make / model of car you are referring to ?????---

Didn't mean to come across quite so negative !!!!--- GLA ----

Yes, i read that article also !!!---- we'll know come wednesday, one way or the other ----- Remained by the skin of its teeth in July ----things look even more precarious this time around ---- Seems that a continuing fall in the price of Gold is its best chance of staying in the Ftse100 ???? --- Relying on someone else to do badly very often works in the world of football ---so fingers crossed that Gold continues its friday fall !!!!--- Won't be the end of MRW , falling out of the ftse100, but it will make the recovery considerably more difficult in the short to medium term ----- tracker funds will be forced to reduce their exposure to the stock and it may well see its short interest increase substantially .---- This has been the general rule of thumb for others in the past that have dropped out ------will have to see whether it just drops into the 250 or has to survive for a while in the 350 ( heaven forbid ) !!--- Fingers crossed anyway everyone ---- GLA ----

Optimus :---- A good time was had by all , i trust ---- I'm in the dog house , i'm afraid !!!----- a gust of wind blew the good lady's purchase of a new jumper/top off the trolley i was pushing and down onto the wet car park !!!--- Cut the evening festivities abruptly short and she hasn't spoken to me since !!!(lol) --- Course, it was the last one in her size ( as always) so couldn't change it !!!!---- Ho Hum !!!!---- GLA-----

Only £30-00 a year road tax !!!!!!!!!---and you're asking for money back !!!!!!--- shame on you , have you no sympathy for me and GS . No chrimbo card for you this year ---- you're off my list until you pay the same as us !!!--- What's that you say ??----You were never on my chrimbo card list !!!--- Oops, lol.---- I jest of course -----( is yours a left hand drive like all those in the adverts , and comes with a lovely young thing in the passenger seat ?? )--i guess not !!!--- GL sir---- we're off out again soon , more xmas shopping ---not looking forward to it today ( i'm not really a "push thru' the crowds " sort of person . ---- gets me a tad annoyed /frustrated as you may have gathered !!! )(lol) ----

A result of China's dip lower , apparently ------ most things have held up reasonably well by the looks of it !!-- GLA ----

Road Tax , my dear fellow , Road tax ----- GS's is too high and my neighbour pays non at all , criminal !!!!--- And with VW manipulating the figures , it makes it seem all the more unfair (lol) -- GL ----
