That jobs data created a few Nessies on the charts but they will probably dribble back down again within the hour.

No chance smurfy- had the figures been poor then the dip would have been quick. They have probably parked the HFT a little longer, and gone for an extended MAY holiday.

[smurfy2001] 03/5/2013 13:41

So spike as a result of jobs?

[leedskier] 03/5/2013 13:32

Why would they move up to allow govt out the way, surely if you knew someone was desperate to sell you would screw them on price?

"The Insolvency Service said 25,006 people were declared insolvent between January and March, a drop of 1.8% from the final three months of 2012 and down 12.9% year-to-year."

"The number of companies going into liquidation fell 0.3% quarter-on-quarter to 3,678, or 17.9% lower than in the first three months of 2012."

"Both figures are the lowest since the first quarter of 2008, just before the global financial crisis caused the U.K. to fall into a deep recession"

[smurfy2001] 03/5/2013 12:07

That's £130,050.

LOL

Personally would have gone into BARC as much better value with a dividend.

[sandbank] 03/5/2013 12:06

PORTSIDE1: It's taken me a while to work it out but - crikey - that's £13,050 quid!

My mum always told me it's always unlucky to invest £13, or any multiples thereof, in anything.
