It could be that big sell order and more being dribbled in by a bot.

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 14:01

bill, what do you make of all this stock being pushed on the market around 463 ??? Looks like a short term resistance level to me, could be good once it clears!!

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 13:48

Not a bad guess on the bottom - US will push this up to green/blue IMHO.

1% L2 220k vs 80k

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:47

Agree Bill, bounced nicely from 460 twice, lets see what fotsie and dow do now!

Of course level 2 can be very misleading, looks very thin above 463 but you can bet there will be a few more fed through on the offer on any bounce!

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 12:33

Yes, even if you discount the 500k buy order the 1% L2 looks good - actual figure is ~650k vs 32k

REL seems to get good support from the US and I think the US will bounce today.

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:27

Now 275k at 462 offer, so auto order put in to buy at 462 - 462.25, got my doubts whether it will get there of course the way footsie is!

EDIT: they have just took the 275k off!

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:04

Hectorp, I spreadbet this one with idealing, will study more your methods, thanks.

Put in a buy order bid 463 offer 463.5, like to see that 250k cleared at 463!

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 11:50

back in again with a small spreadbet - hope I got the bottom for today.

1% L2 .8m vs .7m

[hectorp] 10/12/2003 09:15

Agree, news and broker reports all suggest good value under 500p.
At mid 460's I'm creating a written put trade in the march 04 puts ( shorting the short as it were).
If the share does nothing I gain and if it rises I gain too.
I'll create cover down at 420p level incase of a market crash at any time
see also the thread 'OPTS'.

got back in this morning, reading in sunday business that fall is in their opinion over done and that an advertising boom in US would help price recover, also see DOW has risen a good deal this evening, hopefull of a further rise.

Good luck
Dawn

[billdaly] 08/12/2003 20:34

Sold at 4.25 to open a bet in the US - hope to sell that before the close and get back in in the morning.

[louis the bandit] 08/12/2003 19:02

Looks good today, read al the brokers reports and wish I toppde up at 460, ah well, I'm in for the long rise as well. Don't know when I'll step off. If they keep going north I will sell only to by Colt Telecom if they drop back to low 90's so I can pick some more up. I'm sure this is due to get back into the 480's and long may it carry on.

[billdaly] 08/12/2003 14:17

I was orignally looking for a small bounce (1-3%) but may stay along for the ride north.

Still plnety of support - 1% L2 1m vs .2m

[royaloak] 08/12/2003 14:09

Shorted last week, now long and adding above 468 offer as resistance there at the moment, as per above comments looks like it may have been oversold!

[billdaly] 08/12/2003 11:22

1% L2 1.1m vs .2m, should move up some more.

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Investment bank Morgan Stanley cut its price target for Anglo-Dutch publisher Reed Elsevier to 550p a share from 600p but maintained an "overweight" recommendation.

This week the company warned that earnings would grow at a slower pace in 2004 amid weaker economic conditions.

OK 550p will do me.

Reed Elsevier "buy," target price reduced

Friday, December 05, 2003 7:25:16 AM ET
Deutsche Bank

LONDON, December 5 (New Ratings) - Analyst Patrick Kirby of Deutsche Bank maintains his "buy" rating on Reed Elsevier (REL). The target price has been reduced from 600p to 575p.

In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that Reed Elsevier has raised its 2004 investment budget for the science, legal and business divisions. Deutsche Bank expects the company's increased spending projections to partially offset its near-term earnings growth prospects.

575p - that'll do nicely - can you get there in the next two weeks, please :-)

[billdaly] 05/12/2003 21:40

?

is that an acronym, an expletive, or a conversation stopper? :-)

[billdaly] 05/12/2003 14:30

bought a spreadbet today, looking for 2-5% on the bounce in the next week or two.

[louis the bandit] 04/12/2003 15:25

Well I sold mine yesterday for 495.25 and bought back in again at 471 this morning. What is the news, I heave read nothing, I just acted on seeing the graph plunge this morning and thought bargain.

[leociavarella] 04/12/2003 12:16

sure ..it is.
