mornin' all

still got nothing but banks on the blocks, but standing clear until the results dust settles. might have a dabble in stan though if it breaks 1130.

mark - see bsy is going well for you now.

kim - did you keep an eye on av when it broke out of the range


good trading

hi jon,

i was not so keen on longing insurers but now looking at the chart of av. it does look like that the resistance of 670 can be reached soon. so i will watch it like a hawk. thanks.

i do like hbos as a long esp. with boe is expected to cut rate this thursday, mortgage banks should do ok. but want to see it goes a lil lower first.

cheers

Hi khi,

Neutral for my style of trading.

Closed TATE trade for small loss @ 456.25. Expect I'll keep trying that entry, unless I get contra-indications for long trade.

Cheers,

Mark

Closed 50% of BSY long @ 551 (opened @ 529.5 on 1 July!). Waiting for results tomorrow before deciding on other 50%.

So, both Jon & I DID make a profit on this one, despite trading in opposite directions!

Cheers,

Mark

Found this thread a few days ago......being fairly new to this game I feel FT350 (more towards FT100) offers some security, low spreads (I'm a spreadbetter) and theoretically I would consider that most fundamentals should be in the price?! Anyway....hmm i went into Burrel yesterday. Not that happy with todays move! and holder of hsbc,,,,tend towards medium term if positions survive that long!

Welcome Windowsill,

I'm a spreadbetter too. Nice to have a new participant in this thread. Personally, I stick to the FTSE100 for trading. I feel more comfortable with very liquid stocks.

Good trading!

'morning all,

I was wathcing BT for a possible short today. However, it already opened dramatically lower, so it looks like I'm too late. I haven't spotted any relevant news. Does anyone know what triggered this fall?

Cheers,

Mark

 

[nobrainer]

Bt is ex div 6.5p today.

D'oooooooooh!!

Thx Nobrainer. I'll recalibrate my charts.

Shame you didn't stick with BSY! Buying pressure now looking strong.

Good trading,

Mark

Morning Khi

Two or three for you to look at

PMO buy - target 730
HSBA sell - target 910
QED buy - target 580

Let me know what you think

Update on the above.

PMO - target achieved 1st August (730 - 713 -5 spread) = 12 points
QED - at close last night 573 = 10 points - spread (3) = 7 points
HSBA - made 919, not as low as hoped, it then turned and headed back up again.
