Royce - I think the same about GSK - long from 1610.
I have been finding it difficult to find any decent day trades lately so
haven't posted. Have taken a long term short on LNB (165) on basis of going
thru results in detail especially those US operations. Interestingly there is
also a shorting charge on this stock.

Still short mtn,piz. Long bsy,boc,bii.

ruth, same happened with dow fall yesterday. dow marked up +32 had me thinking along the lines as you. Perhaps the thing is to bite the bullet, take the far out quote with a small position, and see if a requote is offered.

cmc was so far out from the early dow trading, it was impossible to assess. The movements bore little similarilty to the real price. Pity, because I had planned a short.

Perhaps they are trying to stop out existing shorts?

BP statment out

[ruth] 04/4/2002 09:58

someone please tell me im not barking mad,am i just being a paranoid fool here,woke up this morning to look at spreadfirms expecting ftse opening up around flat,after last nights bloodbath on dow my thoughts were that ftse would get hammered and open up about -35,however as the guys who work for these firms are much more experienced than me,i thought theyde know better so it put that little seed of doubt in my mind,surely they will get it right more than me i thought,however i sat here not shorting in case it went ok like they predicted only to watch it drop and drop to around the level i had in mind,now here is my theory,is there sometimes a conspiracy out there to implant doubt in our decisions by the big boys,so they can profit from dragging people in with a false sense of well being in the market?or am i really just really barking mad,lol!!!!!

historically undervalued as compared to barc - something afoot on the bid front?

[spectoacc] 04/4/2002 09:52

Rumours of placing on CTM; can see 5m worked at 40p. 20m total vol so far, accounts for half of it (presuming MMs have passed on the 5m in the market = 10m).

jpr

sssb now down to 413

[chaspebble] 04/4/2002 09:51

Byrdsong - LOL! Well, there's my answer! I'll continue to hold, as I agree its a defensive stock and I think this should be near the bottom. We'll see.

[daviddakers] 04/4/2002 09:50

Ruth/Royce, I was trying to figure that one out all yesterday... I've got a sell order in at 1018

[byrdsong] 04/4/2002 09:50

big sell under the bid on jpr - 2nd sell at 416. sssb holding 417....

Bullshare, I wish that I had seen your remark about trading the Dow 2 weeks ago because I got bored one week ago trading the FTSE 350 and started trading the Dow. The result is that I have given back 6 weeks profit. You will receive my Booking Form shortly for 10 May course, meantime I appreciate your view on whether trading the NASDAQ is any easier.

Morning all

Short BAY - higher fuel, discounted air fares and potential 'environment tax' make it vulnerable?

Long GSK - its now down to Sept 11 levels. However, I'm a bit nervous holding a long in it. Anyone any views?

JPMorgan mkt perf rec today, with £17 tgt and 'no sign of it reversing downtrend'

As u say its probably hit a bottom! pharmas r defensives and if the rest of the mkt sells off, then they often outperform.....

anl ruth some of its in the chart but it is a bit strange??

[vinie] 04/4/2002 09:34

Shares in Colt Telecom Group PLC rallied through the morning
after yesterday's falls on news of the resignation of chief financial officer
Larry Ingeneri, dealers said.
The shares dropped 15 pct yesterday as the group revealed it has begun a
search for a successor to Ingeneri, who is leaving the position he has held for
nearly six years.
Schroder Salomon Smith Barney repeated its speculative 'buy', believing
yesterday's share price falls were overdone and the company will survive the
downturn.
The broker views the current level -- following 15 pct falls on yesterday's
news -- as a buying opportunity. It said it does not believe the loss of
Ingeneri indicates operational or financial difficulties.
However, it reduced its price target to 150 pence from 300, and believes the
short-term rally will be capped at 75-85 pence, given the carrier
disconnections.
The broker, however, has also cut its full year 2002 estimates by 28 pct and
its 2003 by 29 pct due to a 20 pct cut in capex, and the challenging wholesale
market.


LOL... they have gone down since that note came out.

[ruth] 04/4/2002 09:33

anl still flying,when the other banks are down,is something going on here,was strong all day yesterday too.

[mikeran] 04/4/2002 09:28

And ISA sales are significantly down- lack of confidence on returns by potential investors.

[spectoacc] 04/4/2002 09:23

Royce - I'm with the theory that it's down to low volume that we're struggling to make. And that's due to pension funds pulling out of equities and heading to bonds. If they're not around to give me a few quid, it leaves only you guys . . . :)

[royce] 04/4/2002 09:22

ps gsk i think we may have a bottom time will tell

[paulf] 04/4/2002 09:21

Any crystal balls on the likely news from BP? If share price is anything to go by people are nervous.

[royce] 04/4/2002 09:21

I think our reduced profits are a result of the market just going on with no fear and no greed,-- no fear because all the data is good so no need to panic sell. no greed because the market is not going up we had the first line of stocks move then the secound now we are just waiting for the usa to stop messing and get on with it.but what will be the catalyst for the next up or down? or as i think sell in may and go away

[big al 39] 04/4/2002 09:20

Specto - price movement on BP. this morning does not imply the best news when you would've thought it should contain no surprises. Back below 620 doesn't look good to me.

[techair] 04/4/2002 09:18

croc - parcelforce delivering today hopefully!

BP going to release trading statement "Before midday or shortly thereafter".

Any reasons for CTM's weakness, compared to the eg unmoved TWT?
