Anyone else finding it difficult to buy or sell more than 100 shares at a time online? Selftrade have had this maximum amount for days.

werock: 'Let the trend be your friend' ...still holds true.

Still reckon this will hit new lows in January/Febrary ...THEN WILL BE THE TIME TO BUY!!!

Oil raged more than $6 in less than five hours. The explanation is simple. Shorters closed for year end holiday and account. But one thing is certain oil at $40 or even below is simply unsustainable. We will see oil raging towards $60 very soon. And WG will be 200+ easily.

this doesn't know what to do today, the New Year will see this ludicrous price banished as the news filters through.
BUY.

Barclays also rated this one very highly. BP, Tullow and Wood Group are their core holdings.

Opportunity knocks, just a bit of patience required.

Very encouraging article by Questor in the daily Telegraph today. It was recommending it heavily again today having done so in November at a higher price. Happy hunting in this time of opportunity, MW

dasv : I'm pleased you've done well .

jibba-jabba: Your post sums up the REALITY for private investors currently with this share. Thanks for your candour. I reckon there will be a number of 'bad days at black rock' for the market in general in the New YEAR which should give you the opportunity to get your £900 back!

Aspers i bought a load to average down from 414, got more at on the way down 213, 209, 199, 195, 191, 182 and yesterday at 178 sold most today, was over 4k down now only £900 on paper, but got most of my stake money back, await the odd dive and buy..

Independent goes with a negative, has wood as cautious hold - says impossible to tell which way it will go from here, quotes wood "Indications are that there will be a reduction of spending by clients, with a consequential impact on service company activity" Evolution says expects eps to fall by 20% next year but still expects share price to hit 325.

[dasv] 18/12/2008 10:27

Morgan Stanley upgrade to overweight.

[aspers] 18/12/2008 08:30

looking good today.....set a sell at 220p that will give me 20% over the last few weeks, must not get too greedy!!

[jibba_jabba] 17/12/2008 16:48

Opec to cut 4.2 million barrels per day, will filter through to the price...

[silverfern] 17/12/2008 15:32

it is all about sentiment, and at the moment whilst the bottom 'may' have been seen last month, what do I know, except that investors are now short-term gamblers and any small turn profit is being taken, THis will affect market prices for some time imho

[luckyvince] 17/12/2008 10:37

Hi guys, virgin as far as threads are concearned so treat me gentle. Expected a bounce to-day, have PFC and Lam also. think aspers 200 will be back on within day or 2, no real shocks all bad news should be priced in. LAM fell 10% but back in blue so hope wood will bounce back. PFC has update out tomorrow.

[dasv] 17/12/2008 10:21

Evolution forecasts a 20% drop in EPS.

So far the share has fallen 60%.

Since the market is a discounting mechanism and generally overshoots in both directions, downside should in theory be limited. $1bn of cash will help.

[bhoytrader] 17/12/2008 09:44

Why do we bother? As if a difficult 2009 it not priced in or expected!!!

[juju43] 17/12/2008 08:52

took my profit .good luck folks ,i am sure this is a winner long term

[silverfern] 17/12/2008 07:57

well the trading statement includes the message that 2009 wlil be tougher. It would be delusional to suggest otherwise, but it don't mean they wont do very well. However I suspect that statement will send this lower today

[jibba_jabba] 16/12/2008 21:30

That's it boyz sink or swim time.....

[juju43] 12/12/2008 09:33

i would want to see 240 to feel the downtrend was over. good profit now and stops are in

wendsworth: BE CAREFUL!
