Sanguine mean confident dalios. Old word, which is to do with blood and follows the old notion of bodily humours to explain emotions. Seemed appropriate!

[axdpc] 06/11/2002 11:51

BP is getting more tempting by the point. But the trend seem to be down.
Better do nothing then ...

Dalios.My wife just tried to buy G redge peugeot 205.Salesman threw her out!Trouble is she lost her giro in the tussle!

To whoever asked about SHP, what does sanguine mean? anyway traded these a few times this morning along with RSA BSY LLOY VOD GSK total of 43 points (13 trades)all positions now closed, hard work, made even harder by a phone call from my wife (she's in England getting things sorted before we head of to Austrailia), she's just bought a new car........she was in the showroom, looking at an ex demonstrator Volvo C70 cabriolet, salesman told her there was a lot of interest in it, it would sell soon, so she would have to be quick if she wanted it, so she took it! he's probably laid under his desk laughing his b''ls off )-:
By the way still long my reduced holding in AMY, have put it in the drawer marked "dog share, dodddy and hilary talked me into this!" :-)i see its recovering a bit now, hope it finishes up on the day so i can rub it in.
Have a ftse long open at 4140 also HOL SGC SKP AVE

I do not claim to have good timing usually, but I am sure glad I sold those lmc shares earlier.............when I work out wot made em fall I will buy them back again...maybe. Strange old game this.

[axdpc] 06/11/2002 11:29

closed UU short earlier for +5. Looking to long if dropped lower than 600,
or short if higer than 615.

[sue42] 06/11/2002 11:28

duplicate.

[harleymaxwell] 06/11/2002 11:24

guess it could go higher but who knows with this market - personally could do with a big down day or ill get caught with my shorts down!!

[dazzleer] 06/11/2002 11:22

harleymaxwell - do you think it`ll go higher with the expected fed rate cut. Surely, this must drop down by the end of the day ?

[harleymaxwell] 06/11/2002 11:05

tell me about it- basically just do the reverse to what you think should happen!!

[dazzleer] 06/11/2002 11:04

Surely these are bad..............

LONDON (AFX) - Electrocomponents PLC six months to Sept 30
Pretax profit before goodwill - 46.3 mln stg vs 49.6 mln
Pretax profit - 40.5 mln stg vs 43.6 mln
Turnover - 365.3 mln stg vs 381.3 mln
EPS - 6.2 pence vs 6.7 pence
Interim dividend - 5.25 pence vs 4.9 pence

why the price rise ?

Anyone around or am I talking to myself ?

[razorgirl] 06/11/2002 10:51

Marayil, well today it seems to have run out of steam early, but on the whole I find waiting till after 11 stop sme catching falling (or rising) knives, closed shorts but not long yet

[forwood] 06/11/2002 10:50

[forwood] 06/11/2002 10:50

well done axdpc - was thinking of you earlier when it was 150 :-)

[m.t.glass] 06/11/2002 10:48

Northgate gang above beginning to look like that PC-World advert with everyone trying to squash those ££ signs.. (Short from 397 mid Oct)

Lemain/Cat - maybe worth copying parts of your BPK exchange over to stock thread so we don't lose the key points (?) (L:7,44. C:19,50)

[axdpc] 06/11/2002 10:44
