OK Shaggy. If you start one my forecast is in the header.

[shaggy666] 19/10/2009 06:49

I think we should have Divi Competition.

there is this on the times website

[meerzaf] 19/10/2009 05:47

any one here know much about the windfall tax the UK treasury is planning to impose on banks this year?

[khitchen] 18/10/2009 23:03

ken i think you are way out with your dividend forecast i think 12p is more likely i have heard some dreadful tales about people trying to borrow money, the banks must be coining it in, and will make much more money next year

Where the money went is not clear. "People sent money to various accounts, but all they got back was a fax or letter once a month or so saying how well their investments were doing," the investigator said. "It was the sort of stuff anyone could do on a laptop with a spreadsheet."

------------------------------------------

I can't believe people hand millions over to investors. Are these people crazy?

It's not hard to invest in the markets yourself. Hell l started Oct 2008 and never knew anything about shares. I learnt the hard way - investing post Lehmens crash!

Crazy mugs - l have no pity for these people.

CRAIG666 - 3 Aug'09 - 13:35 - 13885 of 1402

Like I said, I think a stock market crash is just around the corner.

My charts are saying lock in cash and run for the hills

Dear All,

Was Craig wiped out?

Regards,
BLAP

[craig50k] 18/10/2009 20:09

purple,
Where's my Big Mac and Fries ?

[purple sound] 18/10/2009 19:59

Ken, you are a Gentleman and I thank you for your kind words.

My heart goes out to CRAIG666, he has been a good poster on here and remains such, his comments are honest and add to the board. People seem to forget that they are talking to people on here, to be wiped out and to find nearly £10,000 more is a very hard pill to swallow.

I try my best to post how I feel at the time of posting (this changes with current news and chatter I hear) and give my honest opinion to how I see things. I am an excitable and passionate person who cares about others.

I have never attacked people on here, quite the opposite, but because I give my view with argument a very few on here seem to find abusing me amusing. This is either because they have an opposite position or view and lack the intelligence to argue back.

I trade exactly how I feel and I am currently out of pocket by about £50,000 since the turn of the year. This is despite hedging although if I did not hedge at all I would be down double that. I trade both long and short term, real shares and derivatives.

I have been honest about this from the start. I have been caught out by the huge downturn in the financial sector and despite being caught long, I as most trade around the position and I say what I am doing every day.

I do hope that I make at least some decent contribution to your board. Under normal circumstances I would make a 6 figure sum dealing. This market is totally untradeable on fundamentals, I try to give my honest opinion, that is all I can do.

Ken, I respect you for running a good thread with up to date information and charts, I feel touched that you have posted these words in your update.

I wonder if we are on the same square?

Lets all hope we get some normallity back to the market next week, I am fed up with trading like a gambler.

Good luck everyone, should be interesting!

Juggler - That's an interesting website. Thanks.

1" rain in Bath on Wednesday, but it looks as if it will arrive too late for us. 1½" spread over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with another ¼" on Friday morning should just about be right at Ayr.

[bullionblap] 18/10/2009 19:07

Dear All,

Kenneth is keeping his Bachelor's Eye on me :)

Beware the false profit!

Regards,
BLAP

[the juggler] 18/10/2009 19:02

Jeez Ken! Gulp.....

Ok I hope it pours down in Scotland this week ;-) According to Metcheck it is going to hammer down in Ayr on Tues/Wed/Thurs so best put a few bob on his "Lordship"

Meanwhile let's hope we see Barc head over the £4 mark this coming week

[kenbachelor] 18/10/2009 18:46

Bob - My interest in BARC is 91k shares at an average of 420p. It's enough to keep me interested.

[bobp] 18/10/2009 17:44

Thanks Ken, I read it as something that would headline a due announcement, the only 'near'date I could think of was next month.

Good thread by the way mate. One of the few that seems to attract normal people ( in the main! )

Whats your big interest with BARC? You obviously have good knowledge of this one.

[kenbachelor] 18/10/2009 17:33

19th February I assume Bob.

[bullionblap] 18/10/2009 17:32

Dear All,

Be wary of false profits. I mean- flash profits. Sorry, I mean false prophets.

LOL as always,
BLAP

[bobp] 18/10/2009 16:47

Re this...''BARCLAYS is on track to post record profits of more than £10 billion for 2009, triggering multi-million pound bonuses for dozens of traders and executives. ''

Do I take it that's the 10th November or earlier?

Thanks in advance!

[kenbachelor] 18/10/2009 15:56

I've been promised an improved PP spreadsheet code later today although it won't have been tested in real-time trading.

All being well I'll try to let you know what changes have been suggested and whether they work in practice by tomorrow evening.

I've also sent an e-mail to [e-mail] asking for help with setting up the trades. If they respond positively I'm planning to start using either my original code or the new one I'm waiting for, from tomorrow week.

Time to get excited I think.

[kenbachelor] 18/10/2009 15:44

Shaggy - Yes it's worrying isn't it; but it's not market manipulation, it's just downright dishonest.

[thehangman] 18/10/2009 15:19

overzeal

barclays to push through £4 this week.

Off to watch the grand prix.I hope Barricello wins to make the final race a showdown between the two Brawn drivers.
