Sorry to be negative but now they have decided to shut down first direct by charging customers I think that will hold back any progress.

They have obviously run out of idea's for making the business more efficient.

SELL

Nice to see that the old previous years high from marchish now seems to be a support level, onto higher and better things!

0440 GMT [Dow Jones] HSI +0.5% at all-time high of 18446.46 midday on grand
debut of ICBC (1398.HK); volume swells to HK$45.36 billion with ICBC alone
taking HK$26.55 billion; ICBC up 15.6% at HK$3.55. Though consolidation likely
in near term, market not done yet with making fresh highs, says YK Chan of
Phillip Asset Management; "you need to look no further than HSBC (0005.HK)",
thinks top cap will replace China Mobile (0941.HK) as next index driver. CM
+1.7% at yet another 6-year high of HK$63.65 but HSBC only +0.1% at HK$147.20
vs ADR close of HK$149 overnight. HKEx (0388.HK) suffers from profit-taking,
down 2.4% at HK$63.20 after pre-ICBC listing rally.(RLI)

ICBC debuted 17.5% higher in early trading in Hong Kong Friday before easing to a 15% gain as trading progressed.

ICBC raised a total of $19.1 billion to become the world's largest-ever IPO.
If ICBC, China's biggest lender by assets, elects to exercise an over allotment option, the deal could increase by 15% to $21.7 billion.

The institutional portion of the Hong Kong offering attracted more than $350 billion in orders, exceeding available shares by 50 times.

Now when the immense amount of cash withdrawn from the markets to "stag" that issue flows back we should see further upward movement.

Asian institutions are expected to cut their other holdings in order to subscribe for ICBC shares before the deadline of 19th October.

0606 GMT [Dow Jones] Citigroup reveiws UK banks. Still sees UK banks as less
attractive than much of the European sector but believes stronger relative

575p, Northern Rock (NRK.LN) to 1070p from 1050p. Reiterates sell rating on

Money is flowing into equities and not bonds, HSBC is mainly merely rising on the back of this ( my personal opinion ). The dow how reached a double top, and is set for about a 5% reversal ( the analysts not me ) Looking at the charts there is as clear a mathmetical pattern supporting this as I have ever seen. So we will see but I am looking to sell the rest and closely following events before doing so!!!!

[miata] 13/10/2006 15:39

Not bad.
O 1013.5
H 1021.0
L 1005.5
C 1017.0
Monday pivot 1014.5

(In HK HSBC rose 0.6 percent to HK$146.50, a fresh record high)

MIATA - if there s a big IPO coming up the cash has to come from somewhere, and fund or individual with a balance portfolio might well slice a little from other stocks in the sector if they are holding them.

I just have bills to pay - this is perfect for me. Still hold half my core.

[miata] 12/10/2006 14:12

Dificult to judge whether this is a pop into OpEx, strength from the ICBC valuation or a continuing push into the elections. On balance my guess is there is a little more to come.

[enami] 12/10/2006 14:09

Good stuff today, hit my target and profit sliced at 1015

[miata] 10/10/2006 13:17

Every little helps, though not the reason both STAN and HSBC moved up today.

JP Morgan has raised its price target for HSBC to 163 hkd from 155, saying the stock remains one of its top picks among banks operating in Asia.
The new target implies an upside of 12.4 pct from the stock''s current share price. "HSBC''s combination of defensiveness, cheap valuations and reasonable growth is the reason why this forms 45 pct of our model portfolio," said JP Morgan, which kept an "overweight" call on the bank. It predicts HSBC''s earnings per share to grow at a compounded growth rate of 10 pct in 2007 and 2008 on the back of stabilizing credit conditions in the UK and a relatively benign outcome in the US consumer business. It said growth opportunities in Asian and emerging markets business should also support the bank''s growth going forward. "Inorganic growth has been a key driver for HSBC in the past as HSBC has successfully deployed capital. Currently we estimate that HSBC has some 18 bln usd in surplus capital and appears to be re-focused on mergers and acquisitions," JP Morgan said.

JP Morgan upgrade, SABB results........................

HSBC benefitted fom the strong institutional response (6 times oversubscription) to ICBC's massive IPO, which may turn out to be the world's largest at over $22 billion.

[miata] 05/10/2006 12:58

Waiting for over 1900p on RBS (1940p again would be nice).

[enami] 05/10/2006 12:57

RBS payday tomorrow, dunno how high it will go but I will sell out if it's high enough

[miata] 05/10/2006 12:54

Yes, £0.078805p per share credited yesterday. I agree the Dividend Re-Investment Programme has a bit to do with the increase. It would be rare for the morning peak to be held to the end of day, but we will see.

[enami] 05/10/2006 12:41

MIATA - I think dividend payday has a bit to do with it, yesterday I believe, but Etrade havent credited me yet. The large funds re-investing in the same stock.
I agree your with your TA.

[miata] 05/10/2006 12:00

What is interesting is how solid the bottom of the long term advancing trendline has been from 780p in 2004 to 830p in 2005 and 920p in 2006.

At the mid-term election date the channel top would be about 1016p and the channel bottom about 950p.

[mhrangoon] 05/10/2006 11:41

naery £10.00 HSBC has been around this level for nearly 2 yaers.

[21up] 05/10/2006 11:10

Wish i'd bought more

[miata] 05/10/2006 10:07

I think we are also waiting for the ECB press conference (not the ECB decision).

[enami] 05/10/2006 10:04

SP hit the psychological tenner, I assume we are waiting for the BoE interest rate decision. 1016 is my next fib target.

[miata] 05/10/2006 10:02

Some large sells on the rise:
10:41:17 1,000,000 995.5
10:42:28 2,500,000 996.5
