The trouble, nowadays, is that there a lots of dummies doing trades!

...“down the PUB” I just hope that I get my timing correct, before the “big bad administration guys” move in!

.....of SP being followed.

I got out on Friday for a reasonable amount. I notice that it down another 6% today. I'll come back in if it spikes up, again. ATB

I should maybe have clarified, for others. The Bank Magnate mentioned a chain-saw mishap in an earlier post, so rather than a “two finger salute” a lesser response would appear to be the case. ATB

I dropped you a post, earlier, on XTA – sorry not too helpful, but there are more informed guys than I on that B.B. ATB

Sorry, have I stumbled across a literature competition striving to regain the purer niceties of our indigenous language? If incorrect, my apologies!

.......for sick pay??

Agree 100% However, the “writing has been on the wall” for ages ATB

A rock, and an even harder place. ATB

..having a laugh "Morgan Stanley has also lifted its rating on British Land to “equal weight” from “underweight” and set a price target of 340p." Time to in soon methinks

"Builder’s merchant Wolseley gets a welcome lift from Collins Stewart which has upgraded shares in the heavily indebted company from “sell” to “hold” and set a price target of 170p. The broker believes Wolseley should bite the bullet and do as Xstrata did and raise cash through a rights issue." Time to get in soon, methinks.

Absoulutely. That is why I'm taking a "non-long" position.

"Advertising giant WPP beefed up its African operations ( which hitherto included doing PR for genocidal kleptocrat Robert Mugabe during his last "victorious" election campaign) with the acquisition of a 49% stake in South African advertising agency The Jupiter Drawing Room. WPP said the agency, whose clients include the car manufacturer Hyundai, earned around 16.6 million pounds in 2008. "This investment continues WPP's strategy of investing in best-in-class companies in fast growing markets and sectors and its commitment to developing its business throughout the African markets," commented WPP. Shares in the PR man to Africa's Hitler slipped by 25.25p to 414.25p."

"Plumbing supplies firm Wolseley has been tipped by Goldman Sachs to join the stream of big name companies tapping shareholders for funds. The US bank said that Wolseley should ditch its loss-making US-based Stock Building Supply business, but even then would need to raise between 0.75 billion dollars and 1 billion dollars to avoid breaking its banking covenants. Goldman Sachs downgraded its rating for the shares from 'neutral' to 'sell' and slashed its price target from 385p to 165p. Wolseley shares tumbled 17.2p to 170.8p."
