Sangij, the low volume could be related to the fact that US corporates are in a share buyback blackout period (until around Apr 26th), apart from that PI's are stretched to the long side and I guess CTA's haven't yet started dumping a lot of stock to bring the composites down.

One of those words that just sounds fab. Learnt something new. Thanks Stille, every little helps when you're empty!

Mike, it seems to have been the news that Israel no longer intends to retaliate for Iran's aggression.

cb, took me a while to filter the first person when i joined lse, but i'm full swing now.

****(not you cb). liked that cb, tw@

I think it'll naturally fall back to 52.5 or so then fingers crossed gradually move back up to 60. Just mechanics of the market. Fingers crossed we'll get beyond 60

Not 33% or even 25% increase in sales but 17%. All looks good, market has marked us up a little on open. Fingers crossed we'll move back to and above 60 over time.

I have oil at 87 now more or less?

Absolutely not in favour, it creates opportunities for me. I'm comfortable working around others heavy short positions. Ridiculous idea in my view, pushed by those who don't have a clue what they're doing in the markets.

Why would that bring off the US composite markets? They're also dropping.

Is it the gulf coast crude stockpiles?

Brent currently 86.8. Anyone know what the shock was?

Why do you say market makers are accumulating? Isn't the very opposite of what they do. My understanding is that they facilitate trading but absolutely do not accumulate. If they're accumulating they are failing at what they do and risking being very much in trouble.

Nice and upbeat, let's hope it stops the rot.

Well the results are in. Obviously a big improvement over the year, but how does the market interpret that. It's still a big loss, despite high rates of occupancy and the big improvement. Debt down, leverage down, revenues up, operating cash flow up. Encouraging, but still a loss. I have no investment here, but am interested in potential read-across to other companies.

You've done well boyo. Hope it keeps going well (without visiting 238).

I just looked at his posting history and found it ironic that he was calling another poster a clown. I shan't be seeing any further posts

Yes NF, I got 13.78 or something, which was enough to a bit less than a penny profit. It's not a core holding for me and it's not at all clear it will pay out quickly so I rationalised it. I see the US markets as likely to continue selling off for the next 10 days (blackout on corporate buy backs leaves them without much upward pressure).

I dropped out today. General markets look much riskier so I took a small profit and closed. GL to those sticking with it.

Although there's an element of truth in what VP is saying. The drop today is more likely related to widespread selling (check out the FTSE/US500 etc) due to risk off, plus on the US side a pause in corporate buy backs, CTA's being stretched to the long side and now looking to lock in profit and follow any move down (with a lot of cash). I think VP's points add a bit of worry for OCDO, but are not the cause of todays drops. Just a view.

I believe that Sangi, I've watched them near us. They seem focussed on getting it done, but that means they get in the way of the shoppers and despite that focus it doesn't look particularly fast. As you say, the layouts are designed to get customers to look at as much as possible. For that reason the layouts change reasonably frequently.
