Did you know that New Star Technology is now a buy!!!!!
Mystic Meg might put it:
I see Icarus soaring above the earth for a strong but short flight,
followed by collapse, fall back into the sea and descent to the murky depths.
So buy all the small, eastern and tech stuff for a 3 to 5 month burst
then retreat to a well bonded tent.

A word ...............to the wise

(Now I shall have to investigate how a couple of stop losses failed to be acted upon-Squaregain!)

NAS is looking icky again after the Fed 1/4% Interest rate rise on 20th Sept ..............watch this space for the A word.

NAS has crashed through the 200 day moving average so set close trailing stop limits on all technology holdings and investigate Invesco Pep Global bonds etc.

As per post 34885 above.
Now is the time to start shorting and selling. The 50 day moving average of the NASDAQ may fall through the 200 day moving average by the 10th May at which point shorting growth stocks will become a majority sport.
(I appreciate that the DOW and S&P are not showing this pattern yet but I expect leadership from the NAS and it is showing it as long as it stays below 2025. Rise above that and all bets are off)

17 May- reverse all of the above the NAS is powering up (but not strongly enough to go long until the 50 day is back above the 200 Day).

The witholding tax is 20% but, which is offset against UK tax.
I have a TPIN from US so it doesn't really apply as i pay US tax too...HURRAH!!

Mark - If you reaf the messages on

there are one or two excellent posts which give an insight both into the company and dividend - unfortunatly I can't find out what tax would be withheld for a UK holder.

Being a yield junkie this is one I sall continue to watch and investigate.

It is a REIT.
There is something odd about it, no mortgage simple mortgage lender can yield 9% and it has had a massive change in numbers over the last 3 years
given that the US market produces tiny divis, 9% is extraordinary
If you find out why please post

ask your broker

[susan widdowson] 26/1/2005 14:47

seems to have the answer?

[susan widdowson] 26/1/2005 14:31

Does anyone know how dividends from the USA are treated? Is anything withheld?
I've been looking at THORNBURG MTG INC (NYSE:TMA) with a 9.66% yield.

[tpaulbeaumont] 20/1/2005 11:00

any of teh spreadbetters, although your limited to the largest few hundred stocks. im using CMC at teh moment, theyre OK, usually a 5c spread, so if your trading anything with a price of over $20 comm.s less than 0.25%

Popped back as still awake. Ideally wanted to be short from approx 7:30 but missed it so now long 10609

Do not be put off by the falls recorded in the first week in Jan.
I believe that this is caused by a sellers strike in the second half of December and it is very healthy for those sales to flush through.
Prospects for the first quarter are uncertain...

UPDATE: Global Index has fallen back through the 50 day moving average for the first time since July 2004. I think that means now short for 4 months or so.

Well blow me. Weakness reversed by 26th Jan. Since then the Global Index has raced away and created a new higher high.....and we all know what that means!
Learning point: As the 50 day moving average remained in positive territory there was weakness, pain even in January, but no inflexion point in the BULL TREND.

[ben gunn] 23/10/2004 10:23

Now is the time for all good men to short the US and European equity Indeces! Like for 4 days at least.

[biomax] 10/8/2004 15:13

SMTI is breaking out, strong buy at $10.5

[biomax] 09/8/2004 14:36

[biomax] 06/8/2004 19:45
