Good news on retail sales, but bad news on jobless claims...

DOW Fut - 16

[mikestamp] 12/3/2009 12:44

Dow futures rising, footsie rising, these will end up back over 70p as long as the dow can stay up.

Chiva,
Thanks for removing that post.
Some of my posts have two meanings and others have no meaning at all.

This one for example is utterly meaningless.

Come on let's see 69 at lunchtime !

ThetaTrader

they are certainly exciting on a dull day.

jarmike - if LLOYDS IS 40p today, why you thing BARC will be 40p.... and you say...then I might buy in....

anybody who listens to my advice needs their head examined.

i agree :)

!

[wookie77] 12/3/2009 12:37

went long at 67p.

[jarmike] 12/3/2009 12:28

I sold at 71p at a loss. I am waiting for the share price to get to 40p, then I might buy in.

I don't think there will be any real recovery in share price for months. NB - anybody who listens to my advice needs their head examined.

rollobolo

Straddles are a very good strategy imho.
Ratioed of course.

[goingforward] 12/3/2009 12:17

Is is just me or have you noticed that there been less posts ?

[rollobolo] 12/3/2009 12:13

Left side of brain (long)BARC is improving good news eh?

Right side of brain (short) NO!


LOL

A straddle a day keeps boredom away

[gordonbrown] 12/3/2009 12:12

Deano1967 and rollobolo are appear to be the same person, have seen them post on two other threads with the same tone...if I am correct this is very sad, and I would ask why bother?

[k38] 12/3/2009 11:48

Wenlynn - tnks :)

"I continue to believe the majority of market participants are decent people; however, a principles-based approach does not work with individuals who have no principles."

[rollobolo] 12/3/2009 11:39

just done a spread bet long at 67.4, getting bored

[chiva20] 12/3/2009 11:38

Mattyd - I was responding to GB not WEN. Whooosh.

[gcom2] 12/3/2009 11:31

[gordonbrown] 12/3/2009 11:27
