we should take our inspiration from highly professional robbery gang. once they have made a killing, they just hibernate for ages. soros did the same. he was quiet for some time since a billion dollar punt against the sterling.

eisler, you worried me. you know what? if you made more cash in the last 4 months than you did in previous 10 years, be very very careful. you could as well lose all you have earned in your life time in three ugly months. gosh! i wouldn't want that.

I am speechless - as a BARC faithful, I filled my boots at those dark days of circa 50p. In and out many times all the way up to these levels, I have made far more cash in the last 4 months than I did in the previous 10 years of trading. My NRK and BB blunders now seem irrelevant. Happy times - and well done to those that kept the faith and stayed with the programme. Where are all those doom and gloom shorters from not so long ago now? Only moan is that had the TDW site been better at honouring so many quotes that bombed, I would have made even more!

The S&P 500 added 0.8 percent to 871.91 at 2:54 p.m. in New York after falling as much as 0.5 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 28.04 points, or 0.4 percent, to 8,153.47. The Russell 2000 Index of small companies advanced 1.3 percent.

"There's been a nice group of banks with better-than- expected earnings and some of the fear around the financial system is subsiding," said James Gaul, portfolio manager at Boston Advisors LLC, which manages $1.5 billion in Boston. "We're going to see a fairly significant rally into the summertime."

i surely did. it rose well. bt has nose-dived for months now. give it a break. but this is going to be another zombie company sucking up taxpayers' resources. they have an agreement with the govt. so the govt are tied to top up bt's pension if it needs to.

good for you, jaywood. don't put most of your eggs in barclays or keep a determined stop loss.

[jaywood] 17/4/2009 18:26

madoff - I am now in a position to help out Land Rover by trading in the R Rover for new - however the new model is out in July and so I'm waiting til then ( this one is only just run in really).

[madoff with cash] 17/4/2009 18:10

isis, i'm talking about my recent trades. one swallow doesn't make a summer, boy. i'm trying to get consistent return. not one big speculative one-off bet.
