Member Info for Hottentot

HSBA (C) ------drop overdone after results ---long-term downtrend still firmly in place but technical bounce now due from oversold indicators back up to around 590/595 p then perhaps up to downtrend channel line at around 610 p ----best case scenario atm --- Have gone long @ 571.5 p for the bounce ( just £25.00/pt.= 2500 shares as further drop may be seen !! ) -- GLA.

Pandoras open Box is something i would prefer not to see on a sunday afternoon while eating my Sainsbury's lamb shanks dinner , thank you very much ---------Friday night late on freeview channel 174 perhaps (lol) ---really do not know how they get away it !! --- can't be legal , surely ?---one hell of a L. show tho' (lol) -- GL.

A good move by Sainsbury's over Tesco ---shows they value the "face-to-face " contact and experience --may be more expensive as Opium says but the personal touch is by far the more valuable asset ---the personal touch is something Tesco seem to have left behind long ago ----still extremely arrogant and totally user-unfriendly check-out staff in my local 24 hr . ---- GLA -----

Still ticking up --in profit now . Keeping a close eye on the Dow and Dax with the Greek "debarcle " ----made a bit on a Gold long . Only me and you in the Cave !! ---needs more dwellers --in danger of "getting on one-anothers nerves " perhaps ? (lol) ------ GL.

What is "note 3 " a reference too ?? GL.

Will not leave the single currency !! ----probably go right down to the wire as nobody wants to be seen to be losing "face " !! --- but it would set a greater precedent for the likes of Portugal and Italy to follow if Greece were to be allowed to leave !! ---so no way !! --- BTW ---60+45+5 = 110% -----just thought i'd mention it !! -- GL tho' in your decision ---

lol ---- I can see that your'e a man that keeps things close to his chest !! ----- GL.

ARMANI posts all gone and ID doesn't exist anymore ?? ---

GL with AFR ----- I see National Grid bounced a bit today , almost in profit now !! Anything you can say here about Optimus ? ---doesn't matter if you can't --- i'll just wish him GL and await his return. Where is Armani as well ? -- I see the Germans and the Greeks playing out past history again, albeit a bit more civilised this time around !! --- GL.

closed out @ 11.2 p just after my last post ---i do see it continuing in business , but 100% profit can't be ignored , albeit on only half of original holding ---will be trading it again, i'm sure !! --- GL. ---

mean , not my AFR !!(lol) --- GL

Yes----maybe !! --if 860 p doesn't hold tho' you're looking at around 840 p next stop !! ------no broker/analyst confidence atm either ? ---i'm down on my buy-in so will give it a bit longer before committing more funds !! --approaching oversold technically but indicators are all still clearly negative !! (JMVHO) ---but agreed , will turn at some point soon and catching the bottom will be almost impossible ----- Seriously thinking about closing out my remaining 50% AFR posn. !! ---- That's good news for your lad !! ----- GL.

50% of long off 5.5 p closed @ 8.8p ( bit more cautious this time ) ---turning into a good "trading " stock atm ----looking at Tsco, Sbry and Mrw sp's atm !! --- GLA ( i guess that means just you and me , GS atm !! ) -----

Yes, closed my last posn. in BRIT this morning @ 302 p --opened @ 260p a while ago --only a small posn. , as was looking for a break of 274/275 p to top up --won't get that opportunity now as BRIT is no more !!! ---pity----i think Optimus had a long posn. as well didn't he ?? ---still more than happy with today's news , only wish , as always, i'd have commited more funds to it !! --- makes up for my running loss on Gold atm.( swings and damn roundabouts again !! ) ---- GL.

Yes, a profit's a profit !! ------ quiet today for me --no Dow and just a few points off a couple of Dax shorts !! ---- GL.

VED powered ahead today , i see ----should have had a punt myself !! ---well done if you stuck with them today ------ GL---

Have just spoken to the Placing Agents who have confirmed that Intel no longer have any stake in IMG ---this mornings RNS just came late and should have been released prior to the placing RNS !! ---another RNS to follow shortly will cinfirm all this !! -- They refused to comment on any investigation ongoing from last June's Placing and any investigation that may take place on this Placing as well !!!!! --- As i said to LeedsB --------Just not Cricket !! -- GL --

Been a pretty quiet bb here all week ? ---yes, really needs to push above and hold 270 p now, the sooner the better !! Little bit of an uptrend developed now from the lows but it is still very precarious !! ---- Still do our weekly shop in Sainsbury's ---the new Sainsbury's bonus nectar credit card gives us a total of 10 nectar points per £1.00 spent which equates to 5% cashback ( at least till end of march ? ) --beats a Santander 123 credit card and Tesco's clubcard !! --can't say fairer than that -- On a down note ---my local Sainsbury's will be hit soon with the building of a big new Marks&Spencer Food-Hall and a new Lidl store all on the same trading site and a big new Waitrose just one mile away !! ------ GL . ( drop in onthe "Cave" ( GoldenOcean bb ) sometime and catch up with your old AV posters !! ---)

Twin villages !! --that makes you an " offordonian " then !!------ The shops are beckoning me now !! -- GL. --

Intel are at it again --some time back they dumped about 25 million shares which dragged the SP down considerably ----they have now dumped all their remaining shares via the broker mentioned in the RNS and now hold none at all !! -- There was an investigation, i thought, last time they did this !!--no i have no idea why they have been allowed to do it again !! --perhaps someone else can comment if they know anything ??--- It is not a public placing so we are probably not going to know who has aquired them unless we wait and see who declares them as part of their increased holding in IMG !! --- Share Price may not drop too much further as less shares dumped this time --but still dumped at a good premium to the closing SP yesterday ---really can't be a r s e d to work out the mathematics of any SP drop cos of the dump ---suffice to say i'm glad Intel now are out of the picture altogether --just not cricket my good fellow (lol) ---- Hope that helps !!---- GL.
