@MarkPatrick, I'd rather read Svend's posts -all day long - than the other. :)

I normally post on the RR forum, but today , I can;t help myself,,, I had to come over here to where people would understand me screaming WOOP WOOP , $60+ an once ,,like av mad man,,,, sorry for that , I'll get my coat and head back to the RR forum. Keep it going FRES, and thanks to all the informative posts on here.

Now the grotty UK budget is behind us, the talk of an AI bubble calming a bit (even Warren Buffett has bought some google shares) , nvidia now being permitted to sell its h200 chip to china - SMR talk hotting up ,,, the landscape feels more positive than a couple of months back. Roll on Rolls :)

.... and if you have any children still at home, PLEASE consider fostering them out, I’m trying to minimise the damage to humanity here.

@retirement (David), CGPT learns by many means , including interaction with users. PLEASE for the love of GOD stop using it !

'you may need a mass debate to sort yourself' such a cracking one liner - it deserves major recognition with a second post :)

On days like today, , I just sit quietly wearing a sad face, reflecting on how this once great nation pioneered Trains, Nuclear power, the modern digital computer etc etc And how we let it all go. We have an education system which has been dummed down , an influx of people who work the ‘gig’ economy while we let our knowledge and skills go abroad – to the extent that we can’t even build 3 little nuclear reactors (technology that we lead the world in) – without it becoming a bun fight. Our politicians have squandered everything that our fathers and mothers worked hard for. Luckily I’m of an age where by I just want to find my own little corner of this world and grow old in peace. It’s great to here peoples stories on here – of how they have made life changing money , bought a nice house, and a little present to reward them self for their foresight – in supporting RR. Enjoy the Capri.

Long and short of the story -

A row has erupted at the heart of government over plans to build a new generation of nuclear power plants using £2.5 billion of taxpayers' cash, for the consturction of the 3 SMRs - Should they buy British steel of Cheap from china ?

So in today’s lesson , retirement, You've learnt how the buy/sells ratio can indicate sentiment in real time, and applied to retrospectively to Fridays trading - you can see how sentiment changed during the day - which led to a lower close . The terms good day / bad day were used to in a very basic , black/white sense to highlight up or down. In real life shades of grey are more common.

In today’s lesson - I learnt - not to try an engage with retirement :)

@returement, a weekend is a long time - lots of news can occur, there are many places that cash/monies can be 'parked' with less risk, yet still grow.

@Svend , dont get too technical too quickly - it's retirement you're teaching here :) LOL

And, just for added fun; as if to demostrate the point. Yeasterday the buys vs sell where about 1M apart up unti early afternoon, by close of play they were-

Sold Value £72.40m

Bought Value £44.70m

what happended yesterday , was it a good day or bad day ?

I will leave my last post there - to sink in a bit . ;)

Trading platforms display both sales and buys to represent the different sides of a transaction and to provide crucial information about market sentiment and order flow, even though every single trade inherently involves both a buyer and a seller

Here is a breakdown of why they are shown separately:

Order Type, Not Just Transaction Sides: The "buys" and "sales" reported often refer to the type of order that initiated the trade, rather than simply the two necessary sides of a completed exchange.

"Sales" typically represent "sell market orders" (or "asks taken"), where the seller is eager to sell immediately and accepts the current best available bid price .

"Buys" typically represent "buy market orders" (or "bids hit"), where the buyer is eager to buy immediately and accepts the current best available ask price .

Market Sentiment and Aggression: This distinction helps traders gauge the "aggression" of the market participants . A high volume of "buys" indicates strong buying pressure and urgency, suggesting that buyers are willing to pay the higher asking prices. Conversely, a high volume of "sales" indicates strong selling pressure, suggesting sellers are willing to take the lower bidding prices .

Bid-Ask Spread Dynamics: The separate display helps illustrate the interaction within the bid-ask spread ,When a trade occurs, it either happens at the bid price (a sell market order), or at the ask price (a buy market order). Tracking which price level is being accepted provides insight into where the price might move next.

Order Flow Analysis: Sophisticated traders use this data for order flow analysis to visualize supply and demand dynamics in real-time. This helps them understand whether buyers or sellers are currently in control of the market

great start to christmas rally.
