shorters burning

[umitw] 30/12/2008 13:52

I think it must be known to some people otherwise the share price would not go up! IMO

[davius] 30/12/2008 13:52

imperial, it's when the bid and offer price cross, due to the bid rising too quickly (and can happen when the share price is falling with the offer dropping). It goes into auction, trading is suspended (that is, order book trading, some times you can still buy/sell through market makers) whilst traders position themselves, then a single uncrossing trade (appears as a 'U' trade) settles all crossed orders.

Hope that this helps.

imperial3 google SETS and uncrossed trades, it's too complicated to explain here, I don't fully understand it after reading several articles about it.

Can you hear it too ?

the height of selfishness if you ask me

[chanson] 30/12/2008 13:51

Shiny - I will believe it when I see it - I hold 35,000 (which is small beer for some but not for me) and could do with the cash

[davius] 30/12/2008 13:49

Out of auction, 1168-1173

[imperial3] 30/12/2008 13:49

Can somebody explain the mechanics of what is happening now? i.e.auction.

[alexx] 30/12/2008 13:49

Haven't taken profit too early an hour ago this seems priced too high now. There's only a max 80p loss and a profit of 600? on failure by going short.

Could have done Stuart but would have had to tie up two lots of 10-20% margin plus some spreadbet firms (eg IG) have not allowed new positions long or short for last few days. Not really much to be gained from that compared to selling.

[spectoacc] 30/12/2008 13:48

Yuka, I'm with you - being told you're "..Irresponsible & selfish.." is hilarious even for ADVFN standards.

Nonetheless - good luck holders.

[cl2201] 30/12/2008 13:48

fair enough.....waiting till the end anyway.

[shiny1000] 30/12/2008 13:48

chanson, nervous...no chance.........

[katsy] 30/12/2008 13:47

Yuka good luck in your new trading positions. it's your money and you don't have to justify your actions to anybody after all we're not going to pay your bills. But as they say fortune favours the brave so here goes.

[davius] 30/12/2008 13:47

It's in auction cl...

[chanson] 30/12/2008 13:46

hope you're right shiny - I am still very nervous

[cl2201] 30/12/2008 13:46

WTF....bid 1190...offer 1170. What's wrong with this picture?

[shiny1000] 30/12/2008 13:45

wow, it's all over bar the shouting!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!

[stuart14] 30/12/2008 13:45

You could have opened shorts to hedge your exposure

[yuka] 30/12/2008 13:44

Debbie - sorry but while useful for many the trading facility is meaningless for short-term traders who want quick access and people who trade via CFDs and spreadbets. Unlikely scenario but see how easy it is to sell via the trading facility if they don't get 90%. Price would be 500p before you could get filled. As for being selfish well sorry trading is by its nature a selfish occupation.
