re PRU....yr high 1992....current is 1410....down 582...... 582/1992 = 29.21%....so its knocking at the door of the 30% club

TOP LOSERS: Hikma Pharma and Vod

lloy, vod, bp, barc, glen hsbc, bt, lgen, rdsb,and cna make the top 10......5 of them in the red....merry christmas :(

ABF....26%
Aviva..33%
BAB...41%
BaE....33%
BARC..31%
BT......10%
BHP...9%
CNA....17%
GLEN...31%

and so it goes on....Kinda scary....so before buying any new share, check and see what drop it has suffered from the year high.....anything less than 8% drop so far are due for the hit. Just a thought.

Not so much patient Ken as a believer in the 8-10 year cycle crashes....those with the big investment start sneaking out the door...slowly slowly....then all of a sudden the institutions and heavy duty mob start pulling up stakes too.....then the PI caught like a rabbit in the headlights watches and watches, waiting for the bounve that doesnt come....then the shorters and long players start doing their hatchet jobs......it doesnt change, hence I've been going on about the ftse retracing to the 6000s for the past year or so....bailed last September....came back in about June this year, had a few plays and then commonsense kicked in again.....cash until the storm passes then play again....no point in feeding strangers with my hard earned .....lol

In cash Ken, be well into the New Year before I dabble again

Now 11 above water....5 of them miners :)

Long may that continue for you guys....FTSE picking up slightly 6783

92% in the red....the dead cat bounce coming to and end and the real slide starts?

Nae fun for MKS holders....down 12% since 7 Dec....ouch!

good even :)

12% inside 10 calendar days....not looking goo

that last comment got my Saturday started with a right laugh....just picturing the orange a tan plopped over a fallen tree and the gorilla with a wild eyed look and tongue hanging out about 2 feet....meanwhile orange e tan is screaming for all he's worth...Get me outta here....I'm a fooking celebrity

Used my spreadsheet to sort out imaginary buys in glen and mks at the same entry level spending the same amount in each.....mks won at the close.. MKS must be due a hit.....it hardly flinched during the turmoil

Currently all cash and loathe to invest....is it now a recovery or a false bounce to draw more cash into the system to pay out the fat cats who didnt get all their ill gotten gains out quick enough.....the university of life teaches a lot of lessons....staying in cash now until the New Year....( I hope) :)

5 red...the rest blue......the tsunami has passed....just a few mudslides and a tidy up left

Glencore 268.71 285.50 268.47
last high low

Just went into the 269 zone.....when the hang will it stop

Can be used in lieu of cash divvy...re-investment....saves them issuing more shares and dilution that would result from that

Nope......I took the hit earlier today and looks like I got it right......hanging up the charts for a few months methinks to see where WORLD markets are going....said last year we could be looking at 6600 again......not far away now..day low of 6716.....scary stuff
