I'm going to get this right one day.........

Biffer - same here - grateful and humble.
We now have buying on the dip because "it can't get any cheaper"
regards, A.

Yes indeed, I managed to avoid piling more into these, because if I did then my new found trading discipline would go out the window and the shares would automatically reverse. Just grateful to get one right occasionally!

The trades are interesting though, looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Biffer - another splendid day, also interesting to look at the last weeks trades, small volume , but tells the story very clearly, regards,A.

Biffer - lol - champagne chilling in casewe get inundated ... ;)

[biffer] 29/5/2001 08:47

Aquila, by 'all' I trust you mean me!

[aquila] 29/5/2001 07:12

Good morning all ...ttt and all that and perhaps we might move on ;)

[aquila] 27/5/2001 22:41

Biffer, I thought you and I were responsible for all the volume....

[biffer] 27/5/2001 21:18

Yep - we seem to be the only ones talking to each other on this one. Pretty small volume as well!

[aquila] 27/5/2001 10:14

Biffer, imagine where it might be if there were a few more on board!
regards, A.

Dropping like a stone at the moment, don't think there's any parachutes around for this one.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 27 2001

Rumour of the day

Jardine Lloyd Thompson put on 10p to 459½p after wowing the market with its results. City sages, however, say its shareholders may have more to cheer about soon. The word is General Re, the insurer run by Warren Buffett, the legendary US investor, is looking to buy an insurance broker, with his eyes set on either JLT or Willis, which was taken private by KKR but is expected to float soon.

[gnik] 24/5/2001 21:04

Aquila, sorry I can't be of any more help, but I do remember seeing the article in one of those newspaper tips alerts about 4-5 weeks ago. I have been following JLT for about a year, and have a relative working in the company so it was of particular interest to me.I will see if I can dig it up.

[gnik] 24/5/2001 11:49

Was talk some weeks ago that Warren Buffet was interested in the company (Times rumour of the day)

[biffer] 24/5/2001 10:58

Modesty forbids me sitting here with a smug look :)

I have Omnitrader set up with just two different signals - MACD oscillator and 2 moving average crossovers, and when they both fire it seems to indicate a position generally worth looking at.

Early days though!

Cheers

Biffer

Biffer ;) Must look at your OmniWotsit, regards, A.

[biffer] 24/5/2001 00:59

Ok, you've suckered me into these.

Did get a good signal from Omnitrader for 2 days running though, so it's not all your fault. Of course, I shall be totally blameless, unless it comes good, in which case I'm a genius.

[aquila] 24/5/2001 00:14

A wee move afoot, parachutes ready ?

[aquila] 23/5/2001 15:51

Biffer - oi! PLEASE go with your Omnithingy and IGNORE me! ;)
regards,A. (I made 1.6 points last time!) I would ask LC about it but he's up to his arms in pampers I guess !

[aquila] 21/5/2001 11:25

Biffer - thats what I thought last time! More convincing now..regards, A.

[biffer] 21/5/2001 11:01

The warm weather has brought my shorts out, and I feel a short coming on.

Seems to be thinking long and hard about dropping to around the £4 level.
