First trade today! We missed your input. I DID snuck back into AU. for a small punt about 2 weeks ago, happiness!

'ARM sells microchips' NO. Learn a bit about this UNIQUE company before pontificating. What other company has the same business model? That would be the only meaningful comparison. ML had the last laugh on all the 'Lunchtime O'booze' Analysts who didn't get AU. either.

ML has picked the suitor that gives him the most independence, IMO. Let's NOT do the ramp/de-ramp vote, It's stupid. I smell a short, in-out Candlestick man... Spread Betting is for fools.

Purleese! I just read the papers. Consensus (std,city am etc):- BET is now run for the benefit of the Board. I saw how this worked in another life, when a guy was flown to Italy to select toilet seats for the Dirs ... Not a sector I'm interested in, so don't shoot the messenger. I forgot to say I try for a balance of DEFENSIVE to RISK.

I have a 2 tier strategy, Jedi Knights & Apprentices. Ftse/ big bets&AIM small bets - mostly in ISA&SIPP. Please tell me yr shorting BET & NOT contributing to the Dirs Lifestyle fund as a PI. MW: dear old IC, singing this song ever since BearBull's disasterous short, 'dump ARM, get into Wolfson!' Doh!.A wag said buy ARM when IC says sell, to make money

I see you post on 3 stocks in 2 RISK sectors, by all means have a look at my member info too.

Stop worrying about the Ship and take a look at the Sea. Tin hats on everybody!!!

Correct me If I'm wrong, but you appear to be long on IMG and short ARM? I have a word for guys like you - MALI. I'll make it two, LOL

Hope it's not 'The Ghost Who Walks...'

Fear rules, Sell Risky Tech. stocks with high expectations. If you are a computer, buy defensive stocks,then jump back in when greed takes over. If you are a person hold onto your cash earning zilch, hope your sense of timing is good. OR do nothing at all if you believe in the stocks you hold. I have held ARM for over 10 yrs. Devote the time you spend jumping in & out of stocks to finding the best stocks in the world, like Granpa in Omaha. I bought TSCO at the same time I bought ARM, RISK & DEFENCE.

Any reasons given, dear boy? Or just the usual 'back after a good liquid lunch and must write something' syndrome.

Have mine when I die! If you know a better Tech. stock buy it. Name some alternatives and we'll all have a good laugh.

With thousands of companies world-wide to choose from, VPHA made their top ten energy saving list, my cue to buy a few more.

Interview with CEO Warren East. His 2,000 men generate as much earnings as INTEL's 80,000... at least that's what I think he was saying.

'It is never wrong to take a profit' often said by everyone, except Mr Buffett who considers it stupid! I agree about the biomass, but think the present march up might anticipate a predator...

Surely this is because BATMAN is ex-div?

Why not bite the bullet and start putting your 'Sid' stuff in self select ISA ? HL first choice but DYOR. HL will sell your paper certs for free but you bear buying costs when you buy, this will reduce future CGT problems. The costs are worth it IMO. I consider SIPP 'stay behind ' strategy to deal with IHT, more complex than ISA but also with tax advantages for self-employed or tiny pension people, HL NOT the cheapest SIPP if you only wish to hold shares.

What's not to like? An extra shotgun on the Processor stagecoach. A buying opportunity perhaps. I note that ARM is a big part of some Tech Funds now.

And their ace in the hole, CHP boilers. What's not to like? A lot safer than backing individual green AIM stocks, IMO.

This marriage goes back to the 1980's. For MSOFT to choose an ARM chip for WINDOWS on handhelds is hugely important and implies they simply had no choice in the short term. See excellent, informed MAR23 link from LEVELLER. INTEL are obliged to put a good face on it, but this a game changer for ARM and INTEL are playing catchup.
