..save on recycling costs , hey , ney or hay , lol , gl..

..

...I've left mine in as it is tiny (small) really , well , moving on , I entered higher than you guys as I like acrobatics and as I am doing my first virgin spread.. why not leave it in as long as I can handle it!

..good girl

..it is something is is not.. people talking 200 even. I have been tempted to short oil as I am thinking enough is enough , but , this black stuff is really amazing , all politics and war , the modern god. People here in remote france are switching to modern boilers that run off just wood and at £500-£1000,you just set them up alongside your oil burner. The price of wood has not gone up for years here and there is an abundence of it. I have a large home for a large family here in france 6000 euros in oil spring '07 - spring '08... would have saved the install cost plus had I switched last year , have now ordered!! I have care homes in the UK , fixed prices better than I did last years at for both gas and electric , but still get bills that I am amazed at!

...great turnout on the ftse short!

...do what u feel, BA stock still fell 6% over those 3 trading days days though..lol , gl , mark

..got my ba's mixed up , sincere appologies ! Ba is pivoting between 200-240. Airlines are in the main being whacked by the price of fuel. Bums on seats may or may not change with consumer downturn and airlines are just generally receiving bad press on future earnings. There is every liklihood that further consolidation will happen within the airline sector and BA's T5 and other slots have great commercial value. If you do not need to capitalise the loss , ie. if you do not need to take your monies out for any reason , I would leave them in as , imo , there will be a recovery long term , 1 years or so , as extra fuel costs will then be priced in as a norm accross the sector. Again , sorry about my confusion , no intent meant. I will certainly be comming back in at c.200 should they drop to that level.

..thanks for that , just setting up with Cantor , will look into the Naked Trader website for any offers!! Thanks again , mark

...indeed!

..thanks again , I think I am in real need of chatting this through.

..thanks , will give cantor a look and a buzz for a chat through.. Barcelona , imo , lol , is probably the best euro circuit. I might do Magny Cours but did it a couple of years ago and just regretted itas it is not a patch on Barcelona , not just the circuit , but the whole experience. Barcelona itself is so vibrant on grand prix weekend and the trains to circuit and tram ways when you are in the city , whilst crowded , makes driving around totally needless enabling you to soak up a little excess drinking in the sun!

.. I to feel a short is looming into play but want to see how the us markets react after any interest rate decision wed. I would really like some advice though as to how best long or short the ftse as I may jump in and get not the decision to get in wrong , lol , but how mechanically best get what I want to achieve out of it , ie. lowest margin exposure , do not really understand how contracts work , etc , any advice , anyone?

... re May Future FTSE short , would you mind explaining to me how you went about this and if possible put some figures down as i realy do not understand how to best go about this.

..appreciate your comments , especially about following the crowds. Imo , oil is aproaching a see saw phase and I will be looking at options as to how to best cover both swings in the hope of cashing in on the little highs and bumps , never applied such stratergy before and need to talk it through with my brokers , will let you know what I come up with to ask your valid opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of such application prior to implementation , if thats ok , gl today. Should be an interesting session with everbody hanging back a little re the fed announcement re rates wednesday.

..common knowledge to most but worth keeping a watch on. I have no open positions on BA currently and am looking at how things shape up over the next 2-3 weeks before making a move on BA http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/analysts-braced-for-ba-profit-warning-as-oil-price-leaves-airlines-struggling-817356.html

.. morning kis "Lehman Brothers has estimated that fuel is 30 per cent overpriced because of an influx of money from investment funds." Just another bit in the press....I am thinking thinking the same as you in that it is getting very close to short oil time but am thinking maybe later this week as any interest cut in the usa will generally weaken the dollar and put upward price pressure on oil?

nice little blip on bdev this morning , thought you might want to have a read if not altready done so http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4200dc9e-1521-11dd-996c-0000779fd2ac.html
