Thanks for doing that GS you are a star i am almost ready to buy Artemis global looks a goer then.

Hot Have a small short on Ftse100 at 6740 stop at 6790. here is hoping

Thanks very much GS for taking the time to check those out for me funds aren’t my strong point. I am still pondering and have Artemis Global Income and Threadneedle Global Equity Income on my check list. Any thoughts appreciated, only if you get time. Armani. RDSB, breaking even is fine, making a loss is miserable ( as we all know) Hot thanks for your comment on DIVI fund am still pondering .. We await PMI figures at 9.30 Good luck all

Hi guys my work period coming to an end so taking a look at the markets. I see the Swiss rejected the plan to hoard gold so that’s put paid to buying gold for now. However it has spiked and currently on IG its buy at 1206. Hot, Armani currently can’t make my mind up on gold but still thinking bearish but would like to see it below 1150 for long term shorting. OIL: fortunately got out of PMG with profit but stuck in XEL now at loss. Armani good luck with Shell B, with it being a dividend stock it tends to recover well. I see Tullow oil took a big hit today Hot good luck with PMO bond I can’t see oil staying low forever it never has done in the past. GS Just looking at a buying a couple of funds Schroder Income Maximiser Diverse Income Trust (DIVI Perpetual Income & Growth (PLI) any thoughts?

Hi goldi, armi, hoti, just a quickie.post that is (no sexual inuendos intended ) Lol Av down on 5.6 billion takeover bid for friends life. Glad I am out. Nice profit on spread for you thiugh hot,well done Armani yes Fed done well fou US but trouble is brewing across the pond as riots break out over immigration policy Posting on phone so by from opti ps hot promise to never call you totty again lol.... guys call me what eever you like as long aa it doesn't have an expletive in front of it

Hi Guys and apologies for not responding this week to all, and some good posts. I am currently busy with some decent work just when I am trying to retire so making hay while the sun shines. (metaphorically of course) typical, do virtually nothing all year , then it all comes at once. I had three very quick dabbles last week on spreads using stops and limits. Had a very decent profit on PMG on interims jump on Friday also did ok on RDSB plus am back in again in XEL ( Hot still trying to make back those indices losses from the other week ( still have some way to go so taking it very cautiously.) Gold could start to go north soon; also oil it won’t stay low for long in my view will try to keep an eye on things this coming week. Won’t be about much next week so good luck fellow traders for the coming week. Ps Hot seen Interstellar really enjoyed it and sill thinking about it ( a thinking man film i would say OPTI

Hi Hot I’ve reading something about the Swiss maybe having to buy tons of gold, literally tons, like huge amounts!! Re something to do with stabilizing the Swiss franc. ( it a long story ) but there is going to be some sort of vote in two weeks time. If it’s a yes vote, gold price will rocket, maybe that accounts for the recent volatility. On another subject there is talk that oil its likely to drop no more than another 5 dollars a barrel. maximum If that happens the Saudis and the US intend to cut production right down to put a floor under the price. Hence then a price hike again, this could happen within a short time frame allegedly, will watch and keep an eye open for both. These stories were in Investor Chronicle this week so do have some credence. Opti

No I didn't hear about it but glad alert has been lifted It. Is a bit close for you. Keep safe Armani

Gold did exactly the same the other day when I was running a short on it, jumped all over the place. I thought today should have been bearish but a load of short stops would have been set off when Iit went above 1180 pushing the price up. Its got to drop below 1120 before the bear trend continues. Very good drop on your RTN a good few pound banked. My rdsb has decided to recover and I on the money again

PS very wise move on Serco .4 profit warnings it too many. good luck

Got stopped out of Excelon Corp yesterday after ex divi mega drop took me by surprise. Also looking at your shell price predications I think i have paid too high for RDSB, again mega drop after ex divi. I think i am doing to much and making stupid mistakes. I've suddenly got really busy work wise, people are spending money, its going a bit manic, so shares and spreads on back burner for me guys. Hot the master trader, keep it up you are an encouragement to us all !! DOM wont beat you !!

Nice Link GS I wonder if its in IC top 100 funds Ill take a look when i can . My Shell buy this morning gone the wrong way, typical

Morning FTSE up for now, just gone long on Shell after early morning drop, here is hoping . good luck all

Hi Tom XEL I made a bit back but I sold too early, might go back in tomorrow . Esure I got out at the last high, it’s a weird share doesn't hold up for long but I hope you get some profit out of it. Ran two gold shorts closed one last night for minuscule profit and closed the other gold short for small profit early this evening. (but always happy with profits even really small ones lol ) I picked up a dividend on the spreads for Exelon Corp today but the share has tanked. Films, all time old Sci- Fi favourites back to the future. 12&3 Also, Time Cop where the badies go back in time to make money on the stock exchange on Wall Street at the time of the big |Wall street crash. John Claude Van Damme goes back in time to fetch the bad guys back

Ditto re sci fi films, love them. that where i got my name from transformers Optimus prime lol I cant wait to see interstellar either. VOD and DCG shorts make sense . haven't looked at DOM glad your SERCO is in the money. I better hit the sac

TW analysis agreed Hot, running an overnight short on gold target 1145

Hi Hot, sorry not on boards much, been working today and again tomorrow so not around much. Serco you could be lucky its certainly today's bottom fish. 2000 shares that a decent net full i hope it comes up full for you Armani BNC is your well researched share, you have always done well with it, long may it continue. For my self very happy to be back in Xcite XEL (only on spread acc) but up 14,65% today. I did tip it the other day. I lost money on it earlier this year so its PAY BACK TIME te he . Good luck all

Evening Hot, gold and silver turned bullish ( for now) wall street up ( a bit for now). I picked up some profit on Diamond off shore drilling and currently long on Exelon Corp at least good to get some blue in the account. Nice short on DCG for your self well spotted

Hello Hot and thanks for empathetic response and good to know i am not alone in Dow losses, it does make me feel a bit better. Its a lonely old place when you get a big one day hit I will be watching all things for a while to get back up to speed again in the markets. As you say non farms out today will wait and see outcome. Just had a small position in Xcite after very positive article in IC mag. Now off to take car in for service

Hi Hot last Friday I ran a short on gold which went well, However I was also running a fairly large short on the Dow, which turned against me on the Japan news and I wasn't sat in front of my computer. IG punished me big time by running it well past my stop and I lost out a large sum. I tried to recover it by hedging a long but that didn't work out either. I’ve been sulking ever since and wondered why I was so stupid! etc I’ll know to put on guaranteed stops in future and much smaller bets! Fortunately for me I got offered some decent work this week, which took my mind of it and has brought the funds back up. Just staying out of indices for now Gold and silver still bearish in my view but for how long, before everyone jumps on it. Xcite looking interesting again Not crunching on apples yet, fish and mash potatoes lol back off to Slovakia early December. Will tentatively creep back on to the markets next week as my ego recovers and financial wounds heal. Good luck all. PS nice to see my Sainsbury shares up today on the news of the firs Netto opening in leeds
