Smarm: only got back from the North East today so hence only just replying to your technical posts...

There are various ways to reset the administrator password. A useful tool I use is Winternals ERD Commander, which has a tool called Locksmith which will reset the password for you.

Your PC 'revving up' may be caused by the cd/dvd drive starting up, due to a disc being left inside it?

Your microsoft upgrade. I strongly suggest you do not get the student edition, get the OEM version (no manuals etc or phone support - everything else the same as the retail version). Have never needed to ring their phone support anyway and all the help is contained within the operating system.

Checkout OEM's here, click show all at bottom for full list...


Hope this helps...

Well this week the market has been like walking through some godforsaken outer-London housing estate after dark and being mugged at knife-point every 100 yards or so. Correction - make that 50 yards.

It's now so routine the brokers don't need actually to demand anything, or display the implied knife. By now we all know the form. We just automatically hand over our wallet for them to take what they want. It's like it's almost bad-manners not to do the honourable thing, surrender and pay up

...And we then say "Thanks" when they let us walk away with our ribs still reasonably intact, our heads not bearing too many shoe-imprints and with not too much blood leeching from our embattled bodies. One day we private investors will get our own back on the MMs - or so I'd like to think.But it won't be this week - or this year.

SMARM (talking about falls ion TAN)
Oh yes, and he has now got to make 200% just to get back to square one.
You know the formula -
lose 10% and you only need 11% to get your money back.
Lose 50% and you need a 100% to get your money back,
lose 75% and you need 200%.

I have always had to ring re POB and I just say POB and how many I want and they come back with the bid. Job done, although one does have to speak to a dealer rather than the Client Service person. Why we can't deal online is a mystery.

POB went down after I bought so quite possibly the offer improved. Bad timing on my part but not important in the general scheme of things.

gm - it's a really good question and I have an answer!

Let me explain by example (all figs are approx)

I buy 1000 Nationwide and shell out £955 + £12.50 commission + any accrued interest (you pay for any interest since the last pay date and then get it back at the next pay date) but let's forget costs and keep it simple. 7.25% interest * 1000 nominal (stock held) = £72.50 paid gross (tax not payable in an ISA/ISPP but is payable outside an ISA/SIPP).

So, in our simple example I paid £955 (1000*95.5p) which gives me return of 72.50/955 = 7.6%

If I buy 1000 Newcastle (and I think 1000 is the minimum you can buy) I will have to stump up 1740 + costs + acccrued interest but again let's forget costs. I get 1000 (nominal) * 12.63%, which is £126.3 a year but I paid £1740 for them so in effect my return is £126.3/£1740 = 7.25%.

In effect, then, the Nationwide is delivering a greater yield than the Newcastle.

This is the same way gilts are treated. With the Newcastle you are paying £1740 for something worth £1000 (that's the nominal bit) and with the Nationwide you are paying £995 for something worth £1000. That's because both were issued at £1. I hope that's clear...it's mind bending until the light comes on. Been there, done that.

I know the maths is right, I just hope my explanation is right!

Here is a good link which shows what's available. Remember you have to pay for accrued interest between pay dates (1000*interest rate/365*number of days, including weekends) and so buying just after a pay date is when I like to buy. I may be wrong on this but it seems to make sense to me.



I also found this information by Collins Stewart - the page works just fine on my laptop but doesn't display properly on my PC...something to do with resolultion I guess.



I called Collins Stewart to confirm the information is up to date...and it is.


And for those who can't sleep, here is the full list of corporate debt securities listed on the LSE. You will need to open the spreadsheet on the right hand side of the LSE page. Then, use the Stock Description filter to find Prefs/PIBS/GILTs etc. The list is some 15,000 lines so you MUST use the filter.



Please also remember that I am not an expert here. Please do your own research and make sure that PIBS/PREFS or Bonds are right for you.

Night night.

a 3 day riser on TSE from $1.13 to $1.44 about 27% increase.

similar increase on LSE would mean price increase from 57.5p to 72.5p.

PICTUREFRAME: Well you could be right about Chips Away - but I really don't think the Government wants us to own cars at all - or at least if we do they have to be Government Approved vehicles.That's why it wants everyone to sell "large" cars like Mondeos, Focuses and Micras.

My sources tell me that Labour plan to specify a new national standard low-performance utility car- the only model that won't be subject to otherwise punitive showroom taxation. It will be capable of 77 mph on the motorway and 35 mph in towns - so that speeding-fine revenue won't be affected. Fuel consumption will be 17 mpg - so fuel taxation revenue will remain the same. Power steering will be illegal - so that there will be an increase in parking fines. They've even chosen a name for this project - Trabant 2.

Smarm, unless I misunderstand you, it is how to set the column up so that it automatically fills in the percentage loss/gain. Unless I'm misunderstanding it, isn't 340 just how to calculate one cell in a new column rather than the column auto filling in when a calc is performed on a new line?

smarm - 19 May'08 - 11:23 - 41346 of 41356

three - gottya. One solution, which isn't that elegant but it does the job is to use an if statement. If the cell is blank show nothing, otherwise show the calculation. You do it in first cell and then copy that down 100 or so cells.

So, in cell a3 you would type =if(a1="","",a1/a2*100)...and then copy that down a couple of hundred cells.

fivesboy - 19 May'08 - 11:30 - 41347 of 41356

three,

copy and paste the formula in the first cell of Smarm's post c1 down the rest of the column, but you will get a Div!0 error if there is nothing in the column yet.

Use formula in cell C1:

= IF(A1="","", A1/b1)

Then copy and paste this formula down the rest of the C column that you need it and Excel automatically changes the cell values to reference the column you've copied it to.

The formula checks column A1, if there is no value (NULL value in computer speak) then it puts a null value in the C1 column, otherwise it does your requested calulcation. If you set up column C with Format Cells of 'Percentage', then you don't need to do the *100.

Hope this is vaguely clear (now that's a great oxymoron!)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



SANDVINE AND NORTEL DEMONSTRATE APPLICATION-BASED QOS IN WIMAX NETWORKS
AT CTIA WIRELESS 2008


CTIA Wireless - Las Vegas, NV; April 2, 2008 - Sandvine, (TSX:SVC; AIM:SAND) a
leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for DSL, cable,
FTTx, fixed wireless and mobile operators, today announced a joint demonstration
with Nortel at the CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas. Sandvine and Nortel will
demonstrate dynamic application-based QoS (quality of service) for WiMAX
networks.



Sandvine and Nortel have combined their product strengths to demonstrate
enhanced per-subscriber Internet quality of experience (QoE) for Internet
multimedia applications. Nortel provides a WiMAX 16e base station and gateway
through which multimedia applications like video streaming and dynamic
peer-to-peer applications flow over a live WiMAX network. Once a video flow is
initiated, Sandvine identifies the application and subscriber attributes, and
applies policy management in the network. This includes Sandvine signaling the
Nortel WiMAX gateway which enforces end-to-end QoS policy on the WiMAX network.
The combined solution provides dynamic application-based end-to-end QoS.



This visibility into per-subscriber applications and the ability to manage and
enforce policy allows operators to enhance quality of experience for subscribers
and better manage network resources. Operators can more effectively plan their
WiMAX backhaul and radio network capacity requirements to allow organic growth.
They can also protect their infrastructure investment, improve their bottom line
and increase subscriber satisfaction.



"Sandvine provides the granular visibility and policy control for WiMAX
operators to create innovative service plans and deliver consistent high-quality
services, while optimizing the use of valuable radio spectrum and backhaul
networks," said Tom Donnelly, Sandvine executive vice president, marketing and
sales. "We are happy to work with key industry players like Nortel to enhance
service delivery and help make WiMAX operators successful."



ABOUT SANDVINE

Sandvine's award-winning network equipment helps DSL, cable, FTTx, fixed
wireless and mobile operators characterize what is really happening on their
networks, enabling polices that improve customer satisfaction, reduce
operational costs and increase profitability. Sandvine's policy management
solutions are both application and subscriber-aware, empowering service
providers to better manage network traffic congestion, mitigate the
proliferation of malicious traffic, and deliver QoS-prioritized multimedia
services. With more than 100 customers in over 40 countries, Sandvine is
enhancing the Internet experience for millions of broadband users worldwide.

still going, level 2 very positive now.

showing 1v1 after the increase which is a good sign.

that increase was on no buys either, so something happening here. Toronto done well last night going up 10%, add to that the fact they are in the running as a named finalist (see news) that can only be good publicity.

Also, the share buyback is going to make the shares harder to obtain, you should already feel that when you try and buy some lol, limits set low.

[seanmiller] 02/4/2008 10:20

hold tight guys, looks like more to come.

lvl 2 was 3v3 after that increase, now it's gone 4v2
