A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and
parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon
all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where
he got it. He told them to knock it off and let him get some sleep but
they persisted until finally he gave in.

"Okay, follow me," he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of
bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and
into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other
bats excitedly milled around him. "Now, do you see that tree over
there?" he asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

"Good," said the first bat, "Because I didn't!"

Tomorrow US has a slew of economic data. Can't imagine it will be good.

sw11 - I've registered for the morning reports at GNI now and look forward to seeing what there all about. Oh, and thanks for your help the other day re: LGEN. I managed to sell last Friday when a spike upwards sent the price to 98.75. Many thanks.

Looking at the late purchases in the auction suggests that the market will start up in the morning.
I personally believe that we have a technical bounce and that the market will start to go back down by the end of the day.
Be careful out there!!!

[jeffmack] 25/9/2002 17:06

Probably be quiet on here tomorrow. Bet the market decides to fall 250 points while we are all at the meeting

[matthewa] 25/9/2002 17:06

[sw11] 25/9/2002 16:55

jeroo, GNI publish those figures on their free UK Morning Repor, register at www.gnitouch.com to get it by email before market open

[forwood] 25/9/2002 16:54

Just missed out selling CPI in the auction for + 4.5, so still short from 199.

Excellent day on GNI pour moi, shorting the top; not so good on iDealing (take a hundred lines: 'I must not trade at the start of the day, until I can see what's happening!'

Hope to see peops at the trading day tomorrow but will aim to sort out holdings before coming in.

[m_p_h] 25/9/2002 16:51

Interesting day...........who's at the meeting tomorrow?

sorry for delay -no positions so I thought that I would mow the lawn,probably saved me money. Very odd the way these two suddenly appeared from nowhere.One trying to ramp them up the other down.Not sure that I trust either of them but naturally one of them must be right. On balance I am still negative until there is some real newsflow.

[richgit69] 25/9/2002 16:47

jerro, I put them on message 319 ;-)

[jeroo] 25/9/2002 16:42

Rich - Did you take note of the dow, s&p and nas values at ftse close? Thanks

keiths post from thus

Guys ... be careful .... this news will not go down well IMO. The IMF report was even more bleak for the US economy.

The Euro zone economic
recovery has been disappointing, remains vulnerable to setbacks
-- especially in Germany -- and needs help from lower interest
rates, the International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday.

The fund's semi-annual check-up on the health of world
economy diagnosed tepid consumption and investment in the
12-country region and accordingly slashed growth forecasts for
this year and next.

These see GDP growth of just 0.9 percent in 2002, from an
April estimate of 1.4 percent. Next year, the bloc's economy
should advance 2.3 percent, versus 2.9 percent seen six months
ago. But it's going to need a little luck.

"Questions remain about the resilience and dynamism of the
expected recovery, however," the IMF noted in its latest World
Economic Outlook.

The region is dangerously dependent on exports and the
euro, which has already risen quite sharply against the U.S.
dollar, could continue to appreciate and curb foreign sales.

Plus, equity markets have fallen further than even in the
United States. Stock holdings may be less important for the
real economy than they are in the United States, but the
downdraft could still sap confidence.

Then there is the awkward truth about industrial powerhouse
Germany, the region's largest economy, which is barely growing
at all. It remains in a delicate position and could hurt its
neighbors if it fails to kick into higher gear.
