if u want them

time to buy them if you want them

..these guys are in denial .

.. Planet Rock has been bagged. I made a bid and got told that all bids are off. Sounds to me that a deal has been done...??

..Barratt is tracking recent downgrades and todays sell statements out. Figures in US housing fell again and housebuilder stocks across the pond dropping today so expect more downward pressure. LSB really doing well , unfortunately I sold out not so long ago at a small profit so well done , I should have held on , there we go. I am still following LSB closely though , well done.

...no need for appolo , i often misread stuff or get things mixed up in my head ..saves me looking up my notes though so cheers , gl

.. thanks for these comments. Take on board both sides , sound to me that I need a company diary for the us markets like Digitallook have for the uk , do either of you have a good reference for a diary of events stateside?

I had the divi listed at 36.5 , I'll check my notes. The sp has actualy risen today despite sharp falls for other banks because it goes ex-div first thing tommorrow. For me , imo , AL. has also got to adjust for this fact to keep in line and with the dow and ftse likely to close nego , could be a sharpo correction , ie. a fall of not only the div value but also further falls , jimo.

hold overnight and if anything is to go by , there is likely to be a sharp correction tommorrow morning.

I having never traded indices b4 would like to share my thoughts. A recent rally has been seen with the likes of the banks / miners / oil/ pharmas pulling the indices up. I think that these are very important when other sectors are in go slow mode. I think that oil may well go further but will flatten and not pull related stocks up much further. I think that the banking sector will cool off to and miners also. What is left to pull the FTSE up and if nothing , will profit take from these pullers as they level off lead to a decline on the ftse index and others ?

...stability within the banking sector to prevent a meltdown remained an economic priority. Now that all banks have been offered an NRK type backstop , the reality check will now kick in. With peolple on the streets seeing less monies in ther pockets and a declining property market , even if people could easily get a mortgage , they will not buy into a likely drop in value , a bit like shares. With the city likely to lay off tens of thousands , sterling seeing further lows and corporation tax becomming increasingly unattractive compared to other countries , who is likely to invest in setting up HQ's in our cities? Imo , commercial property values will remain in decline for several years.

Crude oil prices passed $116 a barrel in New York for the first time yesterday after a pipeline attack in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer. New York’s main oil futures contract, light sweet crude for delivery in May, shot up to $116.10 dollars in mid-afternoon trading, before easing back to $115.46.

I played for the high on hbos and rbs first thing then cashed in and followed the fall down on a short. I then played the rise from the fall , and shorted through the doubt stage whilst retaining the longs from the falls and made a complete clean play. The guys that play for points on oils and the ftse must play for serious outlay. I have no problems standing my ground and had a great day. This is why , I need to know what the ftse and oils are about as I see these as heavy outlay ? risk?

Oil has gone up c.15% or so over the last 3 months. There are ftse 100 stocks that do this every other day from high to lows and so forth. You say that oil will dip to 105 from 115 , I say that playing the saddest of banks will be of more financial interest per day than any trade in oil for the next 3 months. Banks outperform big time on a day trade than oils would ever dream of , which is what I do and you do not do. I am sorry DONACE but get real. If you played any of the banks today at the values that you put into oils , you would throw up.

If picking off PLANET ROCK does not turn you on , how about a fund against all odds in Zimbabwe? You post full on , walk the walk so lets talk and see what you are made of.. sharedealing@hotmail.com. A full recent listing of all dealings would be helpful and by return the same.

... my first buy out was at £4 millions some 20 years ago when I was 25 years of age , leveraged by 3i in those days , but I want planet rock , now is the time. If you are interested , talk on sharedealing@hotmail.com. If you can't be bothered , then all I can say is , why the hell do you post?

Gcap want rid of PLANET ROCK , get in touch!!

...follow the link , whilst many who do not follow fp in depth may view this as bad news , this is good news to those that do...Lombard and F&C Asset Management are salt of the earth and performing well. IMO , FP is a stock that is great to day trade and one of which you can retain a few from the profits from the lows to the highs. ..a safe haven play to get 30%+ on those retained and if day traded well , will be in the 20%+ league per week from the highs to the lows , etc. Watch the volumes and place on your watch list , imo.

.. tandH and myself would like to chat to you re longing and shorting ftse100. Just a few pointers after you have fed the family and worked it off skiing , maybe Monday on 'AAA' board? Many thanks ina advance , don't kill yourself skiing otherwise we will be left stranded , maybe I should take a key man insurance policy out on you.. anyway have fun , I had a great day too , enough to get a little pain et fromage , can you believe how the price of bread has shot up , thank god for my long on wheat , lol , ta ta
