Optimus ;---- Brent Crude and US Light Crude were both approaching short -term overbought on current cycle !!-----that's why i went short of US Light Crude @ that $54.00 / level ( don't like trading Brent !!) ---i'm 234 pts up on the trade atm .----many more would have also seen that level and opened fresh short posns. , ---- a bit unfortunate for the Shell deal in the short-term !!-- Doing well today trading the Euro/Usd in short spurts on the 1 min. rsi ----- All major Indicies well back off their daily highs !!--- pity --- GL both ---

Yet another glorious sunny morning -----what have we done to deserve this i wonder ?? . My Oil short (daily US light crude) off $53.98 is already well into the money -- Ftse100 back above 7000 a moment ago !!------ Just to repeat ---Esure Final Ex-Dividend is the 9th , which is Thursday. and yes that is tomorrow now .(lol) --- GLA.

Esure Final Ex-Dividend is the 9th i believe ---so that's thursday not tomorrow !! ---- GL.

I'm absolutely shattered -----i had no idea how exhausting it would be watching the wife mow the lawns all day !! -- To top it all i had to drive to the nearest diy store and get her a new rough garden broom head so she could sweep up after !! (lol) ------ I jest of course ---i did the sweeping up ----well, can't let the poor thing do everything ---got to keep her strength up to cook the pork chops in a minute (lol) ---- Good day on the Dax for me -- Oil looking about high enough to short again !!---- Most stocks got a good lift today with Ftse100 up around 6950 ish --- GLA.

Look who's turned up in the Election race to no. 10 ---- good old Tony !! ----- going to make things better or worse for ED ?? ---what ya reckon ?(lol) ---- Couldn't hold the wife back any longer --chomping at the bit ----she's got the mower going flat out , grass flying everywhere !!(lol) ------ GLA ------

Plenty of sunshine again ---- sorry to hear you can't enjoy it Optimus !!-- Get somebody to wheel you out into the sun , will do wonders for the back !!-- Cleaning the lawn mower today ready for the first scalping -- --left it a bit late this year ---i have no idea how the wife is going to manage to cut it (lol) ----- No Doom & Gloom today from me -----doing very well on the Dax and Euro/ Usd trades atm !!----- Just to mention a couple of well known cliches tho' ----Nothing goes up in a straight line & what goes up must come down (lol) ----- GLA and enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday ----

You're all busy on Easter Sunday here !!----- you should all be out in the garden in this lovely sunshine as i have been ---- not too much gardening ,mind, just enjoying the sunshine (lol) ----- Yes , ITV was on the list of the six most likely companies this year to get taken over ---can't remember the others but i think IMG was one of them also ?----- Have been reading articles of a "potential 50% crash " in the worlds stock markets in 2015 !!-- Warren Buffet , apparently, subscribes to the theory and is positioning himself for the "crash" along with many other " reputable " large investors !!-- To that end i have placed a lot of short orders on all the Indicies and many Ftse100 stocks to take advantage of any potentially large falls !!--- Just a thought everyone ------- sorry to "spoil" the day !!-- GLA.

Happy Easter to everyone ------not too many chocolate eggs now mind !!-- GLA.

A small "sentimental" long on FGP today ---terrible downtrend and dismal company performance but hey ho i feel a little sorry for them atm (lol) ---- see if i can help it get back above the £1.00 level again ?? --- GLA.

238p not 338 p of course ---- GLA.

Closed my "quiet" little ( was little ) long on Barc today at 253.8p --opened on Tuesday @ 243.1 p -- Has hit the smaller downtrend channel today @ 255 p and turned down immediately very nicely !!-- I am looking for a drop now to around 238p ---this is the next natural touch on the bottom of the smaller downtrend and also the exact next natural touch on the larger uptrend channel bottom line from July !!--- So 338p is fairly significant on any drop now !!-- May ,of course continue higher to that 260p level ---if it does and holds then it will have broken out from the smaller downtrend !!-- GL.

Not that different on Esur to be fair !!--- CSN looks to be a good little tip --- GL. with the decorating ---you are quite welcome to come and do mine for me (lol) ----

ESUR :-- JMVHO and it differs to Optimus , so here goes !!-- Not oversold yet , standing on rsi 40 ---macd is still negaive ---13 ema is below 26 ema (still consolidating ) ---50ema stands up near 228p atm , 200ema at around 233p. ------ Must hold any further drops at 209/210p or otherwise a 205p or even a sub 200p could be seen !!---- May quite easily see a rise to around 218/220p now before April 9th ( next touch on downtrend channel ) --- Depends very much the level it closes at on the 8th April . --- It the Ex-Divi payment puts it below supp. levels then there's always a chance of further drops to that sub 200p level ---- Brokers are very mixed but in the main are giving Hold with higher than current sp levels -- So a rise and hold above 220p or a bounce off 209/210 p are the two scenarios as i see it atm -- But a punt at present levels may just get the jump on everyone -----your decision really !!-- GL.

Stum :- Yes, the drop below supp. around 218/220p a few days ago signalled a move much lower and would see the short posns. increased at that point !!----- Would like to think that 200p is the bottom this time around , but wouldn't be surprised at all if it tested 190p before any meaningful reversal !!---- All the negative Broker recomms. are only adding to the woes atm. -- The drop started on the 17th , or there abouts , so dfslicker is about right on that 10 day straight loss !!-- It's a bit of a phoenix , this one , so it will turn eventually (lol) --- GLA.

To close Just Eat @ 430.75 (+ 16.11p.) ---gives me an overall profit of £403-00 ( not brilliant but will have to do for now )--- GLA.

New my maths were wrong --------One posn. @ 446.86p ----- GL.

Have done the same today and doubled up @ 442 p this morning ----giving an av. of 2 posns. @ 439.73 p ----- Just closed one @ 432.6p for a 7.13 pt. profit --leaves me one short posn . @ 447.46p ( again factoring in the profit ) --think my maths are correct? (lol) -----hoping for a drop now or a double up again tomorrow perhaps !!-- Indicies all had well over double digit drops at 00.40hrs this morning !!-------- have no reason why but most have recovered well from it !!-- Still doing very well on the Dax atm---- Small MRW long this morning @ 193.5p ---fingers crossed !!-- GL.

On all the Index Futures @ 00.40hrs this morning ?? ----haven't seen a reason why but most have come back from these drops to post gains atm !!---- very odd !!------- Morrison's dropped to 192.25 p just after the bell which , in fact, on closer inspection is right smack on the uptrend channel bottom line ---- Bounced from there and the rsi 40 ish level i posted about yesterday ---all going exactly to planned atm ---famous last words (lol) --- Anyways, i got in with a small long @ 193.6p ----- let's see what happens !!-- GLA.

Bertram, yes , if the Ftse gives us a bounce tomorrow then most things including MRW will move north a little !!--- I would like to see that 190p level tested tho' as it would cement the technical view on the uptrend channel from last november's lows .---- Looking for a rise back up to around 218/222 p initially to hit the uptrend channel again ---slow but sure !!---- Back down to rsi 40 atm ---seems to like bouncing off that level --done it 4 times since last november so may do it again tomorrow ? --- Closed today just below 50 day moving average ---13&26 day moving averages just about to cross down so i would be looking for a further drop given these indicators atm.-----getting close to important levels so one to watch closely now ----JMVHO --- GLA.

Coming down nicely to within my previously posted levels ( going to blow my own trumpet as i expect nobody else will (lol)) -----all helped by the 100pt. or so drop in the Ftse100 --- A couple more pence drop and i'm long again ( probably --lol) ----- GL all------
