I bought into Autonomy after their latest dip (they dip quite frequently!).

Really? What price did you buy at, and how many did you buy, if you don't mind me asking?

Bought at just over 1400p. How many is not really important Hopefully it will keep going the way its going :rolleyes:

Hmm... I remember them at 1100p, thinking they were a good deal. I would be cautious with them, they went down 10%? on their good results day??? Crazy share! One of the highest points they have been at for 7 years or so, right?

How many is not really important

Don't worry - just my nosiness kicking in/seeing how confident you were. :rotfl:

USA is open today so some ftse futures probably are also but not actual stock trading. The commodity and currency market prices will be traded, I dont know about bonds

I think the Dax is open, etc

how confident you were

What percentage of the portfolio would be a bigger indicator. I dont own more then 5% in anything pretty much, I sold off or reduced my last big positions in august or so

down 10%? on their good results day

That shows market has high expectations, a frothy share but isnt that typical of technology

AU is in a solid uptrend it looks like roughly, just going from the chart. The current price is above the 5 day moving average and the futures price is estimating a rise I think



Computer agrees with me

Interesting stuff there, it does seem to be on the upward trend, but it does have a "ceiling" so to speak, doesn't it? This being at around 1600p.

This could be a link to an RBS or Lloyds story, recovering after the dot com boom at 90p, to come up to 1520p in a matter of 7 years! Slight correlation, would be an educated guess.

What software do you use for these graphs? Yahoo! Finance is a bit unreliable sometimes!

BTW, the DAX is open (+0.7%)

The 1600 price doesnt look to have especially significant volume. Its at a high for the last five years so it is going to be like stepping in the dark, could keep on rising though so its hard to say









Sterling index has dropped 21% in last 5 years and FTSE has risen from 4800 to 5400 today or about 12.8% which means the FTSE 100 net gain over this time has been a 7.8% loss excluding dividends and inflation

Great site - I can now get 20 year old graphs, compared to the usual 10/5 year ones, very useful! Thanks. Interesting to see what happened in the early 90's with the recession and the build up to the boom.
